The French Fringe website SerieFringe.com is having a contest to give away two tickets to the Sci-Fi Convention in Paris on April 16 and 17th.
One of the tickets is a "Premium Ticket" (135€ value), which includes meeting John noble, plus you'll get an autograph and photo taken with him.
The other "Weekend Ticket" (50€ value) only gets you access to the convention, but you can buy tickets to get an autograph or a photo for 20€ each .
Of course transportation is not included, unless you live in Paris, or are willing to travel there on your own dime, there's not much point in entering. But we know we have some French Fringe fans out there, so to them we say "bonne chance"!
The Fringe episode "Subject 13" is a flashback that takes place in 1985. To match the style of the era, location titles and the Fringe title sequence was given a new look. The same title sequence was also seen in the the Fringe episode "Peter".
The Tron-style graphics are complimented by retro "fringe science" subjects. While these subjects may have seemed "fringe" at the time of Back To The Future and Weird Science, every one (with maybe the exception of cold fusion) is now considered mainstream science.
One thing that seems to be missing from this old school sequence is the "Observers Are Here" quote.
Screenshots of every single frame from the title sequence are available at FringeFiles.com.
Tonight's Fringe episode "Subject 13", is the fifteenth episode of season 3.
Reminder: If you didn't already have enough of a reason to watch Fringe LIVE, tonight is also the LIVE Tweet-Along event with Jasika Nicole (Astrid Farnsworth) and Fringe executive producers Jeff Pinkner and J.H. Wyman.

If you can handle doing three things at once, as always, we'll have a LIVE Fringe chat.

As part of a special "Tweet-Along" event, Jasika Nicole (Astrid Farnsworth) and Fringe executive producers Jeff Pinkner & J.H. Wyman will be tweeting LIVE during this Friday's all-new episode.
Jeff Pinkner (@JPFringe) and J.H. Wyman (@JWFringe) will be tweeting from 9PM to 10PM EST, and Jasika Nicole (@FringeLabRat) will be tweeting from 9PM to 10PM PST (that's 12AM to 1AM EST).

Tonight’s Fringe is a do-not-miss, revelatory episode, crossing time and space and allowing us to see Olivia and Peter as children. The hour is crammed with references to previous episodes while adding a great deal of vivid detail to the series’ fundamental relationships between Walter, Olivia, Peter, and Walter’s wife, Elizabeth.
I don’t want to write anything more, lest I give something away about the episode called “Subject 13.” But how much more strongly can I say this? Don’t miss it!
Hardcore Fringe fans will agree that season 2′s “Peter” was hands up, down, and all-around one of the best hours of the series. The great news is that tonight’s follow-up episode, “Subject 13″ (which references the test subject number assigned to young Olivia), will rank right up there with it.
"Subject 13" showcases Torv, Noble and Jackson's performing abilities in ways sci-fi serial dramas rarely try. In the tradition of such dramas, the episode answers some questions while raising others, and is both effective and affecting as a mystery. It's accessible to the casual, occasional viewer, but won't upset or annoy the diehard fan.
The LIVE Tweet-along event will take place on this Fringe, February 25th, during both east and west coast feeds of the Fringe episode "Subject 13". Fringe Executive Producers Jeff Pinkner (@JPFringe) and J.H. Wyman (@JWFringe) will "join you to share insider info and answer questions from Fringe fans. It's almost like communicating with the alternate universe. Only cooler."
During the last Tweet-Along event with John Noble, you could submit you questions using the #FringeLiveTweet tag. I suspect it will probably work the same way this time as well, but be sure to check back here or at bit.ly/FringeTweet tomorrow for the full details.
UPDATE: The event has already changed. Jeff Pinkner and J.H. Wyman will only be available during the east coast feed, and replacing them for the west coast feed will be Jasika Nicole!
The Observercan be walking past the Rosencrantz building, right at the beginning of the episode.
Hidden Glyph: I didn't see any hidden Fringe symbols in this episode. It may not be an "every episode" Easter egg, like the Observer or Next Episode Clues. Or maybe I just missed it... if you find something, let me know!
Next Episode Clue: In the last episode "Immortality", the license plate of the second victim is APT6B. In this episode, Alice Merchant lived in Apt 6B, which is also the title of the episode.

The Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror has apparently announced the nominees for the upcoming37th Annual Saturn Awards. The ceremony will take place in June in Burbank, California.
'Fringe' has been nominated for five awards which include the following:
-Best Television Network Series
-Anna Torv, Best Actress In Television
-Best Supporting Actor In Television(2): John Noble Lance Reddick
-Seth Gable, Best Guest Starring Role In Television
I can almost picture the writers' brainstorming meeting for this episode. Someone says it'll be a Valentine's week airing and there's discussion about what that means. Inevitably all the forms of love come into conversation and Shakespeare's name is bandied about. Or, knowing the genius of executive producers Jeff Pinkner and JH Wyman, this episode which came to be known as 6B was built into the story arc in rough form way back in Season 1.
That would definitely not surprise me.
'6B' is a bittersweet tale of love and loss, and I daresay, probably the heaviest dose of foreshadowing we've been given since 'Brown Betty' in Season 2. Having seen '6B' three times now(that's not much for me) I think this episode was brilliantly written. It's also a none too subtle reminder of where Fringe is right now and where it is headed. The blue universe has a new gigantic elephant in the room we can label the threat of holes, not soft spots as Olivia is corrected by Walter. No one's been giving too much thought as to the decay of our side, until now when the threat looms large and fresh in Brooklyn, a location very close to the first and huge vortex that formed in the East River Over There. I guess we should feel lucky, their vortex began in 1989, so the whole(pun intended) process is beginning more slowly on our side.
The Fox "Fringe Now" website has a new "Alternate Universe Article", which shows a news article from the Red universe, on one of those ubiquitous tablet devices.
The article is titled "Smiley - The saber-toothed tiger has been genetically resurrected.":
The New San Diego Zoo is creating a habitat for "Smiley," the first genetically resurrected saber-toothed tiger. Smilodon fatalis, which thrived in the Pleistocene epoch over 12,000 years ago, will be available for public view later this year. The zoo hopes it will be joined by an American mastodon by 2014.
It's interesting to note that the zoo is in "new" San Diego, implying something happened to the old one. It was likely destroyed when half of California went missing.
A little good news for Fringe fans: ratings for '6B' were UP last week! According to Entertainment Weekly:
Fringe averaged 4.1 million viewers and a 1.5 preliminary adults 18-49 rating, up one tenth — or 7% — from last week. That’s still a ways off from the hearty 1.9 rating the show posted its first two weeks in its new Friday time slot, but any increase is a positive sign. (Perhaps fans heard Joshua Jackson’s message that they better start watching on Fridays if they want the show to return).
Fox actually tied usual Friday leader CBS to win the night, helped by Fringe lead-in Kitchen Nightmares (3.9 million, 1.7) rising 13%. That’s helpful for Fringe too, the “who won the night” boast is valued by all networks.
While most Thursday shows hit season lows the night before, several Friday programs posted gains along with Fringe.
We really need our Fringe fans to tune in and watch us on Fridays ... It is going to take the people that like the show to watch the show and .. show their support if they want to see us stick around for another season.”
UPDATE: The Live + 7 DVR ratings are in for "Concentrate and Ask Again", and Fringe topped all shows for "Post Airdate 18-49 Rating % Increase from DVR Viewing", bumping Fringe's 1.6 to a 2.5 — a 56% increase! Now if we could just get all those people to watch live...
How's your French? John Noble is scheduled to appear at the SCI-FI Convention 1.5 in Paris, France which takes place April 16th and 17th. It looks like he is currently one of two scheduled special guests. Use the link below for more information on this event. Magnifique! Source:SCI-FI Convention
