Fringe Panel Details for Comic-Con 2010

Warner Bros. has released the Fringe panel info for Comic-Con 2010. The Fringe panel will be on Saturday, July 24 at 3:15 PM. Here are the details:

Fringe Screening and Q&A
3:15–4:00 p.m.
Fringe returns to Comic-Con as Lance Reddick and Blair Brown make their first appearance at the convention, joining fellow series stars Anna Torv, Joshua Jackson, John Noble and Jasika Nicole, and executive producers Jeff Pinkner and J.H. Wyman for a Q&A with fans and an exclusive video presentation. Join the discussion of this critically acclaimed thriller, which explores the ever-blurring line between science fiction and reality, where hybrid monsters tear through sewers, thieves walk through walls and portals open to worlds unknown.

I wonder what the "exclusive video presentation" will be? Is it too early for footage from season 3?

Unfortunately, if you don't already have a ticket for Comic-Con, you are out of luck since it has been sold out for a while.

[Thanks to The ODI and IGN for the news]

Fringe Wins Two Saturn Awards

Fringe was awarded TWO Saturn Awards by The Academy of Science Fiction Fantasy & Horror Films , which honors the best in Science-Fiction TV and Film.

Anna Torv won for Best Actress In Television, and Leonard Nimoy won for Best Guest Starring Role In Television.

Fringe was nominated for four awards, including Best Actor In Television and Best Network Series. Last year, Fringe was only nominated for two awards, but did not win any.

BTW, unlike the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences or the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, which gives out Oscars and Emmys respectively, membership to the ASFFHF is open to the public.

Fringe: The Next Chapter

Akiva Goldsman, John Noble, Leonard Nimoy, Blair Brown, Lance Reddick, and Jasika Nicole discuss the season 2 finale, and what's to come in season 3

Alternate Fringe: The Observer Sketch

In "Over There", an Observer leaves a drawing for Olivia which depicts Peter as some sort of Alternate Universe weapon. Olivia later shows this drawing to Peter. The drawing shows that Peter is the key to Secretary Walternate's plans to destroy the other side. The bottom of the drawing is encoded with a genetic sequence, presumable matching Peters.Here is a high-res version of that drawing:

Fringe Photo Gallery: Over There, Part 2

HD screenshots of Fringe episode "Over There, Part 2" are now available at FringeFiles.com.

These screen caps have all been hand selected to increase quality and reduce duplicates, but if there's something that might be missing, you can request a specific Fringe screenshot in the Fringe Easter Eggs section.

Promotional photos for "Over There, Part 2" are also available at FringeFiles.com.

Alternate Fringe: Comic Books From Over There

In the Fringe season finale "Over There", Peter is taken to an apartment, where he and Alt-Olivia discuss how the two universes are different. The Secretary (Walter-nate) left some personal effects for him, including a family photo and some framed comics.

DC Comics has an interesting interview with Geoff Johns and Hank Kanalz regarding these alternate versions of famous comics:

One of the first calls I got was from the director of the Fringe season finale – writer/producer/director Akiva Goldsman. He was shooting a scene in an alternate world where things weren’t exactly like ours. Where even the smallest details were somewhat off. Including the comics. Together with executive producer Jeff Pinker, Akiva wanted to showcase an array of DC Comics that could’ve been including the ones you can see below. He wanted them to be as authentic as possible. Something only the hardcore would really recognize.

Here are the covers of the Alternate comics, and I also tracked down the originals as well:
