Now You Have to Watch Sunday's Rebroadcast of Fringe

Jeff Pinkner reveals to Blog Critics that FOX's encoure presentation of Fringe--Sunday, September 14th at 8/7c--will be hosted by Joshua Jackson and Anna Torv.

Pinkner explained that not only will series stars Joshua Jackson (Peter [Bishop]) and Anna Torv (Olivia Dunham) host the rebroadcast, FOX will also show "the first act of episode two at the tail end of the pilot." The second episode, titled "The Same Old Story," will deal with an investigation into the deaths of a woman who experiences a vastly accelerated pregnancy and what the press release describes as a "senior citizen" newborn. FOX will start the ball rolling on the evening with an exclusive first look at a scene from The Day The Earth Stood Still, followed by a preview of 24: Redemption, the two-hour standalone special episode of 24 coming in November. -- Blog Critics

Official Fringe Podcast with Roberto and Alex

The Fox Fringe website has released the first Official Fringe Podcast (OFP), with Fringe Executive Producers Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci. In this first episode, Alex and Roberto answer fan questions - even one from our own Edward!

LISTEN NOW:


Here are the fringe science / conspiracy theory websites mentioned in the podcast:

• http://www.glowingmonkeys.com
• http://www.rense.com
• http://www.infowars.com

FringeTelevision.com: What can you tell us about http://www.glowingmonkeys.com?

Roberto Orci: That was one of the websites that inspired us, that inspired the show along with rense.com and infowars.com. Just various sort of alternative news sites out there that in a way cover the kind of the fringe science type articles that you don't always find in mainstream news organization sources.

Fox Fringe: Walter's Lab Notes #1

The official Fox Fringe website has a new feature hidden on the Episode Recap page: Walter's Lab Notes.

The notes for "Pilot" include photos from the lab, a diagram of the synaptic transfer system, comments about the experiment: "Project 269 Exploration 17", and a recipe for Banana Bread!

Fringe Pilot: Leaked Epiosde vs. Final Cut

When the Fringe pilot episode was "leaked" onto the internet back in June, J.J. Abrams and crew were quick to point out that the editing was not finished, scenes were missing, and different music would be used. Interestingly, even the "final cut" version we received in the Fringe Press Kit was slightly different from the broadcast. The run times were about the same, so what were the changes?

A lot of very minor edits were scattered throughout, mainly tightening up scenes. For example, some dialogue from an earlier scene between Charlie and Olivia was cut.

The opening title sequence was completely new (you can see the original version here).

Four big changes were added to the story line:

• Olivia tears up seeing John for the first time after the explosion, reinforcing her feelings for him
  
• The entire Steig interrogation scene with Oliva Dunham and Jack Bauer Peter Bishop
• Most of the audio from Steig's tape recorder
• The scene where the dead Agent Scott is wheeled away into the "Leaf" room

Also added was the glyph sequence at the very end, which may be some sort of key to hidden Easter Eggs.

Massive Dynamic not only changed names (from Massic Dynamics), they changed locations. The original building was modeled after the The Royal Ontario Museum, where as the new building is a typical New York skyscraper.

The Synaptic Transfer sequence has subtle changes, mostly a darker mood. The inscription on the Kayak changed from CONSTANT 1.61803 to ZENO, the tombstone changed from BLANK to HE'S NOT DEAD, and the screen monitoring John and Olivia got a makeover (although you can still see the old screen in some shots)

Nina Sharp's robotic are got a slight makeover, making it a little more see-through.

Fringe Pilot Encore: "On Sunday, Sept. 14 (8:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) FOX presents a Sunday night like no other. The evening kicks off with an exclusive first look at an extended scene from the highly anticipated film “The Day The Earth Stood Still,” followed by a preview of 24: REDEMPTION, the two-hour special event airing this November on FOX. Immediately after the exclusive previews, the series premiere of FRINGE will encore, followed by an exclusive preview of the not-to-be-missed, heart-pounding first four minutes of the series’ second episode."

Viral:

MassiveDynamic.com went live and it's HUGE.

A screencap from the Pilot reveals a new viral website, GlowingMonkeys.com, and it's HUGE too.

...speaking of Easter Eggs: There's more where that came from.

More Free Stuff: In case you missed the Pilot, it is available in HD at Fox On Demand.

The Reviews: Speak for themselves.

The Ratings: TV By The Numbers - "The premiere of Fox’s Fringe averaged 9 million viewers and a demo adults 18-49 rating of 3.2 to lead Fox to a nightly 18-49 demo win with an average demo rating of 2.9 and the 18-34 demo win with an average rating of 2.4. Some posters in our earlier thread expressed disappointment in those numbers, but I think Fringe’s permanent 9PM home following House will likely boost its numbers starting next week. Update: The Fringe 30 minute breakdown is below and it did build its audience through the show." More...

Fringe Viral: GlowingMonkeys.com?

In front of the Massive Dynamics building in New York, the light post was a large sticker that reads www.GlowingMonkeys.com.



The site was registered in June of this year, so it's entirely possible that it is "in-game". There are currently 237 posts, many of which seem to revolve around Fringe science - Large Hadron Collider, Cloning, Dark Matter, etc. That's a lot of posts just to make for a TV show. Could this website actually be a reference for the show's writers, a part of the Viral world, or could it all be a huge coincidence?
