Fringe: The Whole Series In Five Minutes

FOX has created a 5-minute recap video of the first ten episodes of FRINGE. If you are new to Fringe, or need a quick refresher course, this excellent video will get you up to speed with all the player and major plot points.

Joshua Jackson Interviews: Craig Ferguson & BuzzSugar

Joshua Jackson was on the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson Tuesday night, talking about Fringe, living in Paris, and "stroking the slug". Craig showed a sneak peek from the upcoming Fringe episode Bound, which I have removed and placed in the Fringe Spoilers section.

Buzz Sugar also interviewed with Josh at FOX's TCA after-party. They discussed:

• Coming back for a new batch of episodes
• Learning Peter's secrets
• Peter and Walter's relationship
• Working with JJ Abrams
• Giving Peter a reason to stick around:

...He may not like to admit it, but he's human and he wants to take care of his dad. At the core of it all there's a very simple emotional story going on: Peter is an abandoned child who has a chance all these years later to build some sort of relationship with his father. If you took away all of the science fiction, that's a workable story in and of itself."

You can read the full interview at BuzzSugar.com.

American Idol Tonight

Tonight is the premiere of the eighth season (!) of American Idol, which means no new Fringe. However the wait is almost over, because Fringe will be back next week with an all new episode - Bound.

But don't turn off the TV quite yet... because it's possible we could see an appearance from our good friend The Observer. No, not hiding on the sidelines like on Sunday's NFL game, but actually singing. Don't believe it? Check out this video featuring the bald one himself, Michael Cerveris, singing in Sweeny Todd (@ 2:30):

Fringe Will Return For Season 2 This Fall?

The Hollywood Reporter, covering the 2009 TCA Winter Press Tour, is reporting that FOX entertainment president Kevin Reilly "heavily hinted" that Fringe will return in the fall for a second season!

It's a keeper ... They've really found the storytelling model now ... what you're going to see in the second half in the year, if you follow the serialized story you're going to find [satisfying content each week and yet] the stories really do re-set themselves each week I would not expect it to take off after 'Idol' but I do think it will tick up another level.

Perhaps he meant the second-half of the First season? Either way, it sounds like he is a big Fringe fan, and the show will be sticking around for a while.

Reilly was also asked about the Remote-Free TV experiment used on Fringe:

Will the RemoteFreeTV experiment continue? If Fox has its way, yes, but the model that uses half as many commercials for shows like "Fringe" and "Dollhouse" remain a tough sell for advertisers. When asked if RemoteFree was a success, Reilly says, "For the most part, yes. Viewer feedback was great ... advertisers were very happy ... studies showed retention was high ... but not every advertiser wants to pay that premium." Plus, there's an additional production factor of doing shows that are slightly longer than usual.

Fringe's Observer on Fox's NFL Sunday Game

The Observer made a surprise appearance on FOX's NFL Sunday football game between the Giants and the Eagles, standing on the sidelines observing the game. Reportedly, this is not the first time the Fringe character has made an appearance at an NFL game, but this is the first time someone has captured the footage, and posted it to YouTube. The quality of the video is not the greatest, but you'll get the picture. If anyone has a better recording, or finds a better video, let me know.

Every second counts when a strange, almost-otherworldly parasite mysteriously attaches itself to the internal organs of a dying FBI agent.

Last Night On Fringe: The Cure

Last night's episode of Fringe is an encore performance (repeat) of The Cure (Fringe Episode #106).

After weeks of being reported missing, a woman with a rare disease resurfaces in suburban Massachusetts and inexplicably causes excruciating pain and subsequent death to those she encounters. As the gruesome scene is investigated, dangerous levels of radiation are detected, and unusual circumstances surrounding the case point to illegal human drug trials and possibly something even more sinister.

Tonight's episode of Fringe is an encore performance (repeat) of Power Hungry (Fringe Episode #105).

When it's discovered that a rather simple man has the ability to harness electricity, dangerous and deadly occurrences follow, and our unlikely trio investigates this super-charged oddity. Meanwhile, Olivia has a high-voltage encounter of a different kind when she is rocked by a blast from her past, and Dr. Bishop turns to his feathered friends, enlisting homing pigeons to break the case.
