Fringe Pattern: Case 0091 - Evidence 0003

A new piece of evidence for Case 0091 of The Pattern has been added to the PHI website - 1.61803398874989484820458683436563811.com (also at ImagineTheImpossibilities.com)

Evidence 0003 dated 8/4/08 10:41am, is crude map of coordinates from Evidence 0001 which plot out four cities in Iowa - Estherville, Cresco, Carrol, and Vinton.

Also listed is the formula: a+b/a = a/b which is called the Golden Ratio (also know as PHI.)

a is listed as the distance between Estherville and Cresco - approximately 150 miles
b is listed as the distance between Estherville and Carroll - approximately 100 miles

The equation does not quite work with these numbers, but it is close.

I'm not sure what to make of this new evidence, but I'll tell you one thing right now - I am not going to Iowa.

Fringe Preview Comic Prequel

The FRINGE Preview comic given out at Comic-con, is a prequel story to the official six-part Fringe comic-book series, which is itself a prequel to the Fringe TV show.

The graphic story details various incidents of "the pattern" - involving bears, tsunamis, missing children, navy ship coordinates, and childbirth - being discussed at a conference, by a Professor Ku from the National University of Singapore. You can find more information about "the pattern" at Fringepedia.net.

The six-part Fringe comic series will go on sale beginning August 27th, with a new issues coming out every month. Also, don't miss the Massive Dynamic ad, and Fringe character profiles that were also in this preview comic.

Fringe Preview Comic: Character Profiles

The FRINGE Preview comic given out at Comic-con, contains profiles of the main characters in Fringe (in addition to a Massive Dynamic ad, and a prequel comic ...coming soon...)

The characters Olivia Dunham, Peter Bishop, Walter Bishop, Charlie Francis, Phillip Broyles, John Scott, Nina Sharp, and Astrid Farnsworth are all profiled, with their Age, Birthplace, Education, Occupation, and quotes like this gem from Dr. Bishop: They have this... horrible pudding. This butterscotch pudding on Mondays. It's dreadful.

Fringe Preview Comic: Massive Dynamic Ad

A FRINGE Preview comic was given out at Comic-con, containing a Massive Dynamic ad, profiles of the characters in Fringe, and a prequel to the six-part comic series that goes on sale August 27th.

I have scanned in the entire 16-page comic, and will post the various sections. Here is the Massive Dynamic ad from the inside-front cover. The Massive Dynamic slogan reads "What Do We Do? What Don't We Do.", with a boy flying a toy plane, under a Massive Dynamic jet (Flight 627?) leaving contrails (chemtrails?) in the sky.


The copy at the bottom of the ad reads: [This is an advertis]ment for the Massive Dynamic Corporation. The image and text do not reflect the views of the Billboard rental company or its Affiliates. For more information regarding Massive Dynamic or Billboard rental policy please contact our head office.

The billboard can be seen briefly in the pilot, as Olivia, Peter, and Walter are leaving St. Claire's hospital.

Roberto Orci Talks Fringe

Word out of Comic-Con is Roberto Orci has a way with the ladies. Or maybe it's the ladies have a way with Roberto Orci?

Anyway, Orci talks about conception, Massive Dynamics and Joshua Jackson with BuzzSugar:

Last year, when Orci, JJ Abrams, and Alex Kurtzman were at Comic-Con [2007] to launch Star Trek, they were also kicking around ideas for a new TV series they hoped to do together. "We actually ended up staying an extra night here because we were so close to figuring out the exact story for Fringe," Orci said. "We like to say that the show in a way was conceived here."

...

For those who have now seen the pilot, a few teasers from Orci to keep you coming back: We might find out more about Peter (Joshua Jackson) and his childhood — things maybe even Peter doesn't know. We might meet the head of Massive Dynamic, the maybe-good, maybe-evil corporation at the center of the story. And, despite Abrams's promises that Fringe won't be as confusing as, say, Alias, every episode will drop a little clue of some sort for the next.

Orci goes on to reveal that Fringe takes some of its inspiration from 50s sci fi comic books and that a year later they're back at Comic-Con to get feedback from bloggers. Read the full article at BuzzSugar.

NiceGirlsTV also scored a Roberto Orci exclusive where he summarizes what Fringe is about in 12 seconds, and talks about the female lead character FBI Agent Olivia Dunham, played by Anna Torv.
