Fringe's Observer on Fox's NFL Sunday Game

The Observer made a surprise appearance on FOX's NFL Sunday football game between the Giants and the Eagles, standing on the sidelines observing the game. Reportedly, this is not the first time the Fringe character has made an appearance at an NFL game, but this is the first time someone has captured the footage, and posted it to YouTube. The quality of the video is not the greatest, but you'll get the picture. If anyone has a better recording, or finds a better video, let me know.

John Noble, who plays Dr. Walter Bishop on Fringe, was interviewed Monday on Good Day LA. The first video featured a clip from the upcoming episode Bound, which I edited it out, and placed in the Fringe Spoilers section. The second video is a web extra interview.

Tonight On Fringe: In Which We Meet Mr. Jones

Tonight's episode of Fringe is an encore performance (repeat) of In Which We Meet Mr. Jones (Fringe Episode #107).

Every second counts when a strange, almost-otherworldly parasite mysteriously attaches itself to the internal organs of a dying FBI agent. With a life on the line and strong suspicions of a Pattern connection, Agent Dunham rushes to Germany to meet with an imprisoned man who reveals disconcerting details of a much larger threat. Meanwhile, Peter and Walter attempt to help Olivia by tapping into a dead man's brainwaves.

There is no episode of Fringe next week - to make way for the season premier of American Idol. Fringe will be back on January 20th, following American Idol, with the all new episode Bound. For a sneak peek at Bound, check out the Fringe Spoilers section.

Last Night On Fringe: The Cure

Last night's episode of Fringe is an encore performance (repeat) of The Cure (Fringe Episode #106).

After weeks of being reported missing, a woman with a rare disease resurfaces in suburban Massachusetts and inexplicably causes excruciating pain and subsequent death to those she encounters. As the gruesome scene is investigated, dangerous levels of radiation are detected, and unusual circumstances surrounding the case point to illegal human drug trials and possibly something even more sinister. Meanwhile, Walter obsesses about cotton candy, Peter strikes a bargain with Nina Sharp and a startling piece of Olivia's past is revealed.

Tonight On Fringe: Power Hungry

Tonight's episode of Fringe is an encore performance (repeat) of Power Hungry (Fringe Episode #105).

When it's discovered that a rather simple man has the ability to harness electricity, dangerous and deadly occurrences follow, and our unlikely trio investigates this super-charged oddity. Meanwhile, Olivia has a high-voltage encounter of a different kind when she is rocked by a blast from her past, and Dr. Bishop turns to his feathered friends, enlisting homing pigeons to break the case.
