New Interview with Anna Torv: Life Without Peter Bishop

For someone who doesn’t exist, Peter Bishop sure is getting a lot of attention.

“Fringe,” the breathtaking Fox series currently in its fourth year on television, is well known for taking bizarre risks and asking viewers to come along for the ride… but erasing one of the show’s most important characters — Joshua Jackson’s skeptic young genius Peter Bishop — completely from existence? That’s a gigantic gamble, even for this show.

When Anna Torv, who stars in the series as brilliant FBI agent Olivia Dunham, stopped by MTV News this week to talk about the current season of “Fringe,” we asked her the most important question of all: what is life like in a world without Peter Bishop?

“Well, the Olivia that I play doesn’t know what life was like with him, so I’m normal,” she said, speaking to the fact that the show currently exists in a world where both the Peter from our universe and the one from the other side died in their childhood — in other words, he never lived long enough to meet Olivia and join up with Fringe Division.

Of course, Peter did exist — our heroes just don’t know that right now. And it won’t be long before he comes roaring back to life, Torv teased, and when he does, things are going to get… well, interesting, to put it lightly.

“I don’t think I’m giving anything away when I say that the event of this season is Peter Bishop,” she said. “We’re going to see a lot more of him and how he unravels these characters.”

Going into this latest season, Torv said that she was completely unaware of the “Fringe” writers’ plans for how to deal with Olivia, her fellow cast members and the mythology they’ve already spent years establishing in light of Peter’s departure.

“They go to their writers camp and pretty close to filming, they come back, and it’s like, ‘Okay, can we talk now?’” she laughed. “I guess there’s just sort of so much that there wasn’t the time to sit down and work out which cases didn’t get solved and which ones did [in the new, Peter-less 'Fringe' timeline].”

Without that kind of concrete information, then, Torv focused on what she believed would be the changed dynamics between Olivia and other members of the Fringe team, namely Peter’s father Walter, the ingenious but damaged scientist played to perfection by John Noble.

“When Peter was there, he was very much the nurturer [to Walter], he was very much the companion, but without him, the biggest difference we see is in Walter, who didn’t have Peter to bring him out and help him get better,” she said. “But what I was excited about is there’s a little bit more warmth, a closeness between Walter and Olivia.”

It’s not just Olivia and Walter’s relationship that’s changed because of Peter’s removal from existence, either.

“There are a couple of episodes coming up where we reintroduce a couple of characters and you’ll go, ‘Oh, that’s a different relationship to the one we’re used to,’” she teased. “But I’m not going to say any more about that!”

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

Screen caps are taken from fringefiles.com. 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.

Fringe 403 Review: Alone in the World

“I need more time!”

It is interesting to consider the development of television narrative devices. I maintain that TV today is a place of subtle, radical developments in traditional narrative structure, just as much as Victorian novels (particularly the sensational ones) often addressed the grim realities hiding under petticoats and behind cravats. Those wildly popular novels incorporated radical critiques of law and tradition into suspenseful narrative; in the same way, TV today takes radical storytelling risks, trusting the viewer to follow multiple timelines, alternate realities, astonishing improbabilities, and deeply entrenched metaphors amid chase scenes, unrequited love, and everyday travails as experienced by telegenic people.

Ratings:Fringe Scares Up Small Gain

Ratings: Fringe Scares Up Small Gain, Nikita Dips, Supernatural Holds Steady
Matt Webb Mitovich

The promise of Peter’s imminent return perhaps played a part in perking up Fringe‘s latest numbers.
The Fox drama, with 3.24 million total viewers and a 1.3 rating, rebounded from last week’s all-time low to gain 8 percent in the demo. It also notched a 6 percent bump in total audience.

In fact, Fringe was one of only two Friday programs to register a week-to-week gain in the demo, and the only show to bring in additional viewers.

Fringe Season 4 Episode 3 Review

Read Mind Vine Time

‘Alone In The World’

The show continues it’s exploration of what a world without Peter is like and its impact on those he left behind.  Till this episode that journey has been an interesting one with the success of the journey relying heavily on how interesting the case of the week is. In my books translucent shape shifters and serial killers trump killer fungus any day.

‘Gus’ was too flat a threat to get very excited about.

Pity too because John Noble acted the heck out of the episode. So did Anna Torv - when she could break away from the case of the week imposition.  Special marks for Jesika Nicole too.

Oddly enough on our last FBI - Fringe Benefits Inc podcast, (which you can find under the Podcast tab here at FringeTV), we remarked it was curious that Peter was only trying to contact Walter and not Olivia. The previous two episodes had a definite lack of Walter and we hoped for more of him. Both of these items were addressed in this episode.  

2 for 1 His 'N Hers Suit Sale?

One quite successfully.  The other not so.

Seth Gabel talks about Lincoln & Olivia, a bromance with Peter, and alt-couplings in 'Fringe'

This is the video companion to the interview The Examiner's LA TV Insider, Danielle Turchaino had with Seth Gable recently.

Below is part of Danielle's interview:


VIDEO: 'Fringe's' Seth Gabel talks Olivia interest, Peter bromance & alt-Lincoln
Danielle Turchiano, LA TV Insider Examiner
October 6, 2011

For some Fringe fans, Lincoln Lee (Seth Gabel) may be seen as a third wheel-- or an otherwise threat to Olivia (Anna Torv) and Peter (Joshua Jackson)'s relationship. But we don't believe you should feel that way. For one thing, as John Noble pointed out, Walter has let Lincoln into his lab-- so if Walter can extend him some trust, we probably should, too. But more importantly, it's not Lincoln's fault that he and Olivia have been pushed together in this new version of the universe without Peter-- nor is it his fault that Olivia has no memory of Peter. And thankfully, once Peter does return (which is sooner, rather than later!), he and Lincoln end up working together, too, in many ways.

"Lincoln and Peter seem to get along. They have-- ah, I hate the word bromance, but they get along well. Whatever the definition of bromance is without using that word, though now I just used it I don't think there's a competitive nature there. I'm hoping because there are alts of each person but only one Peter, that ultimately Lincoln and Peter can be happy in some way," Gabel shared when LA TV Insider Examiner visited the Vancouver set* of Fringe earlier this week.
