Video: The Cast Talk about Season 3

Here´s a interview with the main Cast of Fringe where they share their opinion about their alternate characters.

Interview With Jasika Nicole

The always lovely Jasika Nicole spoke to USAWeekend about the third season of Fringe, and told us about what is comming for Astrid and Altstrid.

The Interview may contain mild spoilers...

Alternate worlds are going to be an even larger aspect of the Fox sci-fi series Fringe when the show returns for a third season on Sept. 23. That means playing a totally different character for most of the cast, including Jasika Nicole. She worried in the beginning about how long her role, a junior federal agent named Astrid Farnsworth, would hang around. “I still take the PDF file and I search for Astrid and I make sure she doesn’t die. You never know!” she says. But her patience has paid off over that slow build, getting to play both Astrid in our world and the very cold and enigmatic Astrid of the alternate universe. She talked at Comic-Con last week about the differences between those characters and what family member she looked to for inspiration for alterna-Astrid, so read below for her thoughts.

When the third season opens, Nicole says, the loyal and warm Astrid we’ve seen for a couple years now will have a closer bond than ever with Walter Bishop (John Noble), since he’s lost the support system he’s had because of the revelations to his son Peter (Joshua Jackson) and FBI Agent Olivia Dunham (Anna Torv). She also says we’ll get to see Astrid’s home this season. “Her apartment is like a hippie den, and she’s got like eight rugs on the floor and all these lamps and rich colors. I would never have known her apartment looked like that,” Nicole says, laughing.

This year, though, she has a whole other character to talk about with the alternate-universe Astrid. Viewers had a chance to meet her in her beret and combat boots briefly in the May season finale, but they’ll see a whole lot more starting in September. “She’s tricky but she’s really cool. She’s so guarded that it’s a little bit easy to play her because I don’t have to relate to anybody. It’s like performing monologues, which is an interesting thing to do in a television show,” Nicole says.

“It’s really just playing a completely different charter, almost in a different show. The alternate universe is so different — none of the characters she interacts with are the same. It’s like doing a regional theater show for summer stock where you’re doing seven different shows at the same time, and you’re rehearsing one show during the day and performing another one at night.”

Nicole’s favorite aspect of playing alterna-Astrid is that she doesn’t make eye contact with anyone, something only sharp-eyed viewers aw in the season finale. “She speaks toward them and she’ll look at them, but not when she’s speaking,” Nicole explains. “That’s really funny to play because people get uncomfortable when I’m doing that in a scene. She doesn’t really respond to their facial expressions or what they’re doing. She’s not interested in that. She’s only interested in relaying the information that she has for them.

“That was something my sister does that I always thought was really interest. She’s not quite as high functioning as Asperger’s, and that was one of the first things that we knew that something was up with her: She would talk to you looking at the side of you, and then she would look at you, and then when she’d start talking again, she would look away. We just thought it was a quirky thing, and come to find out that’s one of many, many different things that kids who have autism tend to get. I’m trying to not incorporate everything about my sister, but just things that I know really well to take from my own experience and put into alternate Astrid.”

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.

[Thanks to The ODI and IGN for the news]

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.

Fringe Moving To Citytv In Canada This Fall

Canadian broadcaster Citytv will be carrying Fringe this fall. The show will air Thursdays at 9:00PM, following Community and 30 Rock. The change does not appear on the Citytv website yet, but a Fringe On Citytv facebook page has been created to keep Canadian Fringe fans up to date.

The Many Dimensions of Dr. Walter Bishop

Fox has released a new video which explores "the emotions of a man who ruined two universes for the sake of one life", aka Dr. Walter Bishop.
