Fringe Wins Three EWwy Awards

Entertainment Weekly announced the winners of the 5th Annual EWwy Awards, which honor the shows and actors that EW and its readers felt deserved to be nominated for an Emmy but weren’t.

Fringe was the clear favorite in the drama categories earning Best Drama for the third year in a row along with second wins for Best Supporting Actor John Noble and Best Actress Anna Torv.

“What can I say that I haven’t said before?” Torv said in a statement to EW. “Our fans are aces and EW readers are no exception. Their support has been invaluable, and I’ll be cradling my EWwy Award as Fringe crosses the finish line.”

Merchandise Monday - Fringe Glyphs

So for this edition of Merchandise Monday I'm looking at the Fringe Glyphs.

Since they first appeared there was a fascination with them and work soon began on decoding their meaning.

Of course once they had been decoded they become even more of an enigma as they seemingly give clues to either the overall Fringe story or simply a hint at the next episode.

The beauty is of course that you don't need to understand the code to watch, they are just part of the show and I couldn't imagine an episode without them.

I have always wanted to create my own simple versions of the glyphs as the on screen versions are beautiful, but don't translate well to my preferred limited color way of working.

The Fringe Podcast Summer Rewatch Episode 17

In this final episode of The Fringe Podcast summer rewatch series we discuss the Fringe season 4 episodes, “Everything In Its Right Place,” “The Consultant,” “Letters of Transit,” “Worlds Apart,” “Brave New World Part 1,” and “Brave New World Part 2.” We discuss several of the story lines and details that we enjoyed about these episodes and we also give out several ideas on what we hope to see in in the final season of Fringe. We discuss William Bell, the death of David Robert Jones, Olivia’s cortexiphan abilities, and Astrid’s FBI agent skills. We also talk about the observer invasion, Etta’s skills, the role of other cortexiphan kids in the future and Bonita throws out a new theory on the whereabouts of Oliva.

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

Happy Birthday to Ari Margolis!

On September 16th, Fringe Media Master, Ari Margolis, celebrates his birthday!
If you've been following Fringe Television anytime in the last 2 years, you will have noticed the volume of incredible promos, and other video features created by Ari that we have showcased here-almost too numerous to name.

Ari is not only a talented video artist in the television industry, but also a true and sharing Fringe fan who has been extremely interactive with other fans in the Fringedom via Twitter.
And just 2 days ago he, personally, introduced John Noble to Twitter(his address is @johnnob58004412-go say hello to John!), which is typical of Ari to do.

Ari, we all just want to take a moment to thank you for all you do for Fringe fans worldwide, and especially thanks for all your support in our fan endeavors.

So all of us here at Fringe Television wish Ari Margolis a very Happy Birthday with this video gift, created by talented Fringe vidder, Arturo Garcia. (Thank you for making this, Arturo.)
Ari, you make all the great Fringe vids, so back at cha! Enjoy!

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:
