Fringe Now: Alt Universe Articles - Smallpox Obsolete

The Fox "Fringe Now" website has replaced the Typewritten Messages section with a broader "Alt Universe Articles", which shows a news article from the Red universe, on one of those ubiquitous iPad-type devices.

The first article is titled "Smallpox Obsolete - Frank would have an easier life."

FYI, Frank is Alt-Olivia's boyfriend, who works for the CDC.

Tweet-along with Fringe Cast & Crew During "Marionette"

Fox will be hosting a live "tweet-along" event on December 9th, during the Fringe episode "Marionette:

Tweet-along LIVE with your favorite FRINGE cast members. During next week's all-new episode, members of the cast and crew will join you here to share insider info and answer questions from Fringe fans. It's almost like communicating with the alternate universe. Only cooler.

The details are a little scarce, but hopefully tweets will be appearing online only, and not on the screen. Displaying tweets on-screen was tried once before with Fringe "Tweet-peats" and it was a disaster. However, we did get some interesting information about the show.

The Fringe Now tweet-along site currently shows on John Noble signed up, but it is likely (based on the previous attempt) that the following cast and crew might be available:

• John Noble, “Walter Bishop” @labdad1 http://twitter.com/labdad1
• Jeff Pinkner, Executive Producer @jpfringe http://twitter.com/jpfringe
• J.H. Wyman, Executive Producer @jwfringe http://twitter.com/jwfringe
• Josh Jackson, “Peter Bishop” @peterbishop2 http://twitter.com/peterbishop2

Start thinking up your questions now!

UPDATE: The Tweet-Along page has been updated, and it appears that only(!) John Noble will be tweeting.

Fringe Exec Producer Not Worried About Move To Friday

Fringe executive producers Jeff Pinkner spoke with Fancast about the move to Friday nights (in January), and he seems very optimistic:

“What is ironic is that for the last year, all the message boards have been saying ‘Please move the show off of Thursday nights,’ so it is sort of one of those ‘Be careful what you wish for things,’” executive producer Jeff Pinkner says of the move, which starts in January.

“From the inside, you know when you are losing support from your network and studio partners”, Pinkner says. “For us it has been just the opposite.”
“Our show has developed a devoted, rabid fan base. Our critical praise has never been higher. And our fan support has never been more passionate. If we can translate that to Friday nights, which has much lower expectations, we will be around for a good long time.”

Matt Roush of TV Guide also had this to say:

"It's worth noting that [Fringe] is a fairly well-established show whose creative vitals are still strong. Fox executives note that its DVR playback numbers are robust, which counts for something. And many in the media like it — Fringe was just spotlighted on the cover of TV Guide's Sci-Fi Preview — and we aren't likely to let it stay unnoticed in its new period. Plus, expectations will be so low that if Fringe holds on to a fair percentage of its loyal Thursday audience, it will be seen as a win."

So, while it seems that Fringe's move to Friday may not be the end of the world, it is important to keep showing your enthusiastic support. Recording Fringe on your Tivo/DVR, watching it online (at Fringe Episodes, Fox.com, or Hulu), and buying episodes on Amazon or iTunes helps a little, but the most important thing you can do is to WATCH FRINGE LIVE ON FRIDAY NIGHTS! Nothing else even comes close to showing your support by keeping those Neilson ratings up, and that can only happen if you watch it live on FOX.

Fringe Movie-Style Trailer For Entrada

Entertainment Weekly has an exclusive movie-style trailer for the upcoming Fringe episode "Entrada".

FYI, according to EW commentator Mark Justice, there is backwards audio in the clip that says "Only one way to find out."

What's Your Favorite Fringe Episode So Far?

SpoilerTV has compiled a list of every Fringe episode poll they have conducted, ranking the episodes by popularity. The top five episodes, based on average poll rating:

1. The Abducted (#307)
2. Jacksonville (#201)
3. Grey Matters (#210)
4. Peter (#215)
5. Over There, Part 1 (#221)

They match our own poll results pretty closely, although we would add "August (#208)" and "Over There, Part 2 (#222)" into the mix.


At the bottom of the list, their least popular episodes were:

43. Night Of Desirable Objects (#202)
44. Power Hungry (#105)
45. Earthling (#206)
46. Unearthed (#121)
47. Brown Betty (#219)

Again, the bottom of our barrel is very similar, with the addition of "The Bishop Revival (#213)" and "Johari Window (#211)".

Of course these polls are completely unscientific, and based on an incomplete result set (SpoilerTV didn't poll for the first 3 Fringe episodes, and we didn't start polling until season 2). However, since their results match ours so closely, there must be some truth in these numbers.

You can see our poll results after the jump, or check out the Fringe Episodes section to see individual polls.
