Fringe Catchup

As you may have noticed, FringeTelevision has been on hiatus for a few weeks. Due to a recent injury (I ruptured my Achilles tendon), I have been unable to get around, let alone update the site. Fortunately, not much has gone on in the Fringe world until Comic-Con last weekend. Over the next few days, I will be updating the site and "catching up" with any Fringe news that may have been missed.

I have had several offers to help with running the site. If you are interested in being part of FringeTelevision, send me an email. In addition to posting more Fringe news, I'm planning on redesigning the look of the site before the Season 3 launch on September 23, so there's a lot of work to be done.

Fringe Panel Details for Comic-Con 2010

Warner Bros. has released the Fringe panel info for Comic-Con 2010. The Fringe panel will be on Saturday, July 24 at 3:15 PM. Here are the details:

Fringe Screening and Q&A
3:15–4:00 p.m.
Fringe returns to Comic-Con as Lance Reddick and Blair Brown make their first appearance at the convention, joining fellow series stars Anna Torv, Joshua Jackson, John Noble and Jasika Nicole, and executive producers Jeff Pinkner and J.H. Wyman for a Q&A with fans and an exclusive video presentation. Join the discussion of this critically acclaimed thriller, which explores the ever-blurring line between science fiction and reality, where hybrid monsters tear through sewers, thieves walk through walls and portals open to worlds unknown.

I wonder what the "exclusive video presentation" will be? Is it too early for footage from season 3?

Unfortunately, if you don't already have a ticket for Comic-Con, you are out of luck since it has been sold out for a while.

Fringe Wins Two Saturn Awards

Fringe was awarded TWO Saturn Awards by The Academy of Science Fiction Fantasy & Horror Films , which honors the best in Science-Fiction TV and Film.

Anna Torv won for Best Actress In Television, and Leonard Nimoy won for Best Guest Starring Role In Television.

Fringe was nominated for four awards, including Best Actor In Television and Best Network Series. Last year, Fringe was only nominated for two awards, but did not win any.

BTW, unlike the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences or the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, which gives out Oscars and Emmys respectively, membership to the ASFFHF is open to the public.

Alternate Fringe: The Observer Sketch

In "Over There", an Observer leaves a drawing for Olivia which depicts Peter as some sort of Alternate Universe weapon. Olivia later shows this drawing to Peter. The drawing shows that Peter is the key to Secretary Walternate's plans to destroy the other side. The bottom of the drawing is encoded with a genetic sequence, presumable matching Peters.Here is a high-res version of that drawing:
