Book Review of Kindle Discounted Fringe Science

Smart Pop Books has just released "Fringe Science: Parallel Universes, White Tulips, And Mad Scientists" on the Kindle for a very user friendly price of 99 cents!

You can buy it - HERE

Awhile back I reviewed the book and found it a very enjoyable and thought provoking read.

And now at less than a dollar this is a no brainer!

Note - It will be available at the discounted price only until September 23.

Taken from the Smart Pop website 'About' page:

'Smart Pop Books - On the best in Pop Culture Television, Books, And Film'

'Smart Pop books is a line of smart, fresh funny essays on the best of pop culture tv, books, and film, with particular focus on science fiction and fantasy television and literature.'

From the back cover of Smart Pop's Fringe Science book:

'Fringe has always been more than the sum of its parts-but its parts, too, are worth a closer look. The show combines a surfeit of mad science, some old school sci-fi flair, and a dash of strawberry-milkshake whimsy to create the challenging, fascinating Pattern that keeps us coming back season after season and universe after universe.'

Check out my review after the break:

Fringe Boss Teases Three-Part Series Finale

Matt Mittovitch over at TVLine has posted a report noting how involved Joel Wyman is with the upcoming final season of Fringe.

The airing schedule of Season 5 still seems to be in flux. According to the report an uninterrupted run is not in the cards:

The fifth and final season, premiering Sept. 28, will have “two little breaks,” Wyman suggested to TVLine during our fall preview interview.

 Even the previously reported Feb 1 Finale date seems up in the air.

“Four [episodes], and then two… and the rest is a[n uninterrupted] run-on” — landing the finale in mid-January, at least

The Fringe Podcast Summer Rewatch Episode 16

In this episode of The Fringe Podcast, we are joined by Allan, Michelle, and Lou as we rewatch and discuss the Fringe season 4 episodes, "Making Angels," "Welcome To Westfield," "A Better Human Being," "The End of All Things," "A Short Story About Love," and "Nothing As It Seems." We dig in to many of the themes and character developments covered in this group of episodes. We talk about the journey that Olivia and Peter go through and whether or not the writers took too long to resolve it, we talk about the new revelations we received about the origins of the observers and how that information gives us insight into season 5, and we talk about the series of Fringe as a love story. Some of us like the idea of Fringe as a love story, and some of us hope that there is more to it than that.

We had a lot of great discussion in this episode and we're very grateful for Michelle, Allan, and Lou for their participation. Send in your feedback and theories to 304-837-2278 or feedback@thefringepodcast.com.

Fringe Series Finale to Air in February

Sep 7, 2012 08:33 AM ET

by Natalie Abrams

It really is the beginning of the end.

Three weeks shy of the fifth and final season premiere of Fringe, executive producer J.H. Wyman revealed on Twitter Thursday that the series finale will air Friday, Feb. 1. Fox declined to confirm the date of the finale, which will be written and directed by Wyman.

In July, Fox boss Kevin Reilly told reporters the series' swan song would air in January. "There's probably going to be a few interruptions, but not many," he said at the network's Television Critics Association fall TV previews. "Just the holidays. [The series] will end in January."

Speaking of that tale, specially marked copies of the Season 4 set are available at Best Buy that come with a mini-comic of the Jackson story. A yellow sticker on the front of the DVD or Blu-Ray will alert you to it being included inside.
