Fringe Observiews 4.19 Letters Of Transit

Welcome to the Observiews for Season 4 of Fringe. I call them Observiews because they are more visual observations than deep thinking reviews, if that makes sense

Screen caps from this episode are taken from fringefiles.com. Dialog is from fringepedia.net/transcripts.

All observations are mine and therefore could be totally off the wall and/or wrong. I have not read or looked at any recaps or reviews. I could also have missed a few things, oh well.

4.14 The End Of All Things

THE OBSERVER: “We are you-- we're human... many generations after your lifetime. We are one of countless possible futures for humanity. Our technology has uniquely afforded us the ability to travel within and outside of time so that we may observe our beginnings.”
PETER: “But you've done a lot more than observe.”

You can say that again, Peter.

SFX: 20 Things We Love About Fringe

Jayne Nelson of SFX explains why Fringe Division is the best in its league…

It’s the show that plays fast and loose with the laws of physics, the laws of gravity and just about every other scientific law there is. Professor Brian Cox [think Bill Nye] would not approve . But if you take off your lab coat, put your feet up on the sofa and forget scientific accuracy, Fringe is one of the most brilliantly-imagined fantasy dramas to come along in ages – it even has parallel universes to choose from!

Here is the list of 20 things SFX loves about Fringe:

1. It’s The New X-Files
2. Walter/Walternate
3. The Concept
4. There’s A Cow In It
5. Peter Bishop
6. Our First Glimpse Of The Twin Towers
7. Nina Sharp’s Hair
8. The Opening Credits
9. The Observers
10. Blink And You Miss ’Em Gags
11. Fauxlivia
12. It’s What's-her-name!
13. The Episode “Peter”
14. Lincoln Lee
15. Will They/Won’t They/They Did/Except Not Really
16. Alternate Broyles
17. Strange Deaths
18. Amber 31422
19. They Expect You To Keep Up
20. The Big Giant Words

#Fringe’s Josh Jackson On Twitter Fears AND John Noble Shows Off New Haircut (seriously)
by Jim Halterman on April 20, 2012

@VanCityJax @JPFringe @JWFringe Talking to Josh Jackson (Peter) last week on the red carpet at the Paley Center’s TV Out of the Box event may have been pointless in terms of getting spoilers BUT he did urge everyone to watch Episode 19 of Fringe, which airs tonight on FOX (9/8c right after The Finder). And the always lovely John Noble (Walter), fresh from shooting the finale, sported a sharper new look.

EP's Joel Wyman & Jeff Pinkner LIVE Tweeting During 419-Josh Jackson Too!

You've heard me say executive producer Joel Wyman is a frequent visitor to Twitter.
Especially lately, as he knows Fringe fans have been awaiting news of a renewal of the series for a 5th season.

Wednesday afternoon Joel dropped in and said he and co-showrunner Jeff Pinkner will be live tweeting
both airings of episode 419 this Friday night.

As icing on the cake, Josh Jackson tweeted a few hours later that he would be live tweeting also,
but only during the West Coast airing.

Say hello to Joel, Jeff, and Josh and shower them with praise this Friday night!

If you do not have a Twitter account you can easily make one at http://twitter.com/

Follow the 3 of them at these Twitter addresses:

@JWFRINGE  Joel Wyman

(fo note:I wouldn't be surprised to see other Fringe alumni live tweet also such as Jasika Nicole,
Kirk Acevedo, Lance Reddick, Michael Cerveris, and Michelle Krusiec.)

'Fringe': Josh Jackson and John Noble talk Season 5 and the Peter and Walter dynamic

'Fringe': Josh Jackson and John Noble talk Season 5 and the Peter and Walter dynamic
By Carina Adly MacKenzie

April 13, 2012 4:36 PM ET

"Fringe" fans are used to seeing the dynamic between our favorite characters shift suddenly and dramatically -- and while it's always fun to explore new versions of old friends, we've found ourselves missing that old banter between Peter (Joshua Jackson) and Walter (John Noble) this season.

"We had to fight to get the old dynamic back," Noble told Zap2it when we caught up with him at the opening of Warner Bros' Television Out Of The Box exhibit at the Paley Center in Beverly Hills. "As characters, and as people, because Josh and I love playing it."

Now that Peter knows he's been home this entire time and that Walter and Olivia are his Walter and Olivia, Jackson tells us that Peter will continue to grow more comfortable with his father. "So far as Peter's concerned, these are all his people now. All of the barriers between Peter and Walter should then be removed," Jackson says. "Even though Walter has to come out of his shell, still, a little bit, there's no reason for that father-son love to not be there. It's not the central portion of our story toward the end of the season, but he and I love doing it, and it's a good portion of the story."

"The payoff is really there at the end of the season," Noble says, promising a more familiar relationship between father and son. "You do see that again."

Speaking of fathers and sons -- Jackson promises that fans are about to see the fall-out from the revelation that Peter had a son. "You're about to find out," he teases, with a very sly look on his face. (Seriously, just watch the video below.) You won't want to miss tonight's new episode at 9 p.m. EST on FOX.

Fans are anxiously awaiting news as to whether "Fringe" will be returning after this year for Season 5. "There are a lot of warm and fuzzy feelings out there, between us and FOX," Noble says. "I know that the FOX executives love the show. It's just a matter of business, and it's very close, because we're an expensive show."

The Latest from "Ask Matt" and TV Guide

Apr 16, 2012 09:24 AM ET

by Matt Roush

Send questions and comments to askmatt@tvguidemagazine.com and follow me on Twitter!

Question: As a Fringe fan, I have participated in the Twitter campaigns on Friday night as I watch the show, but I can not help wondering if these type of campaigns really make any difference. Many viewers seem to DVR Fringe or wait until it comes out on Netflix, and no fan campaign is going to change these viewing habits enough for the nightly ratings to drastically change. So do you think these campaigns work when there is little increase in ratings? — Mandy


Matt Roush: The networks take many factors into account these days when deciding the fate of a cult "bubble" show like Fringe. Social media (and the attention paid by more traditional media) are playing a role as well, but to spare you from my generalizing, let me steer you toward the best story I've read on this topic in a while, by my colleague Michael Schneider. Bottom line from my POV: It can't hurt to let your passion be known to the network and/or to advertisers in whatever form — although sending tchotchkes seems to be out of vogue — but fan campaigns have limited effect if the show doesn't somehow pull its weight or otherwise make sense economically. Still, with Fringe more than most shows in its situation, I wouldn't lose hope.
