Comic-Con Panel: Fringe, Saturday, July 23, 4:30-5:15 p.m., Ballroom 20

The Hollywood Reporter: What stands out from your first Comic-Con experience?Jeff Pinkner: I’ve been there with the show for three years, and I went once prior to that as a fan. After I got off the shuttle bus, three women barely dressed in some version of Xena were standing behind a 300-pound man dressed as Elmo. That was Comic-Con in a nutshell.

THR: What’s the best thing a fan has said to you at Comic-Con?
J.H. Wyman: This will be my third Comic-Con, and a fan once said to me, “I can’t believe you’re really you.” It reinforced that they’re actually near somebody that’s associated with running a show that they’re into and love. I think that was a really sweet way for them to say, “I trekked all the way here to San Diego and I can’t believe we actually standing here having a conversation about Fringe.”

THR: Are you ready for the onslaught of questions, especially regarding Peter, at this year’s panel?
Pinkner: A lot of them will be laden with expletives. It will all become clear; not at Comic-Con, but once [the show] premieres. All the questions that involve the name Peter will probably be hard ones to field.

THR: There will be many questions of “Does Peter exist? Can you tell us?”
Pinkner: We’ll probably be faced with those questions. Our answer will probably be, “Who’s Peter?”

THR: Who would be on your dream panel?
Wyman: Twin Peaks. I’d really like to talk to David Lynch. It’s my favorite show and it was groundbreaking.

WTHR: Were you satisfied with the way Twin Peaks ended?
Wyman: I think the first season was the most impactful. Now running a show and knowing what you’re up against, I do realize that a lot of people plan for failure but they don’t really plan for success. It’s really hard to keep something going. If you go back in that timeline, nobody had ever done anything like that. They were probably feeling it out as well.

To me, Twin Peaks was seminal because it was what it was. I feel that about a lot of filmmakers. It’s their prerogative to take the show where it goes and if I’m really a fan, I’m going to really get off the artistry of the artist that I’m watching. It’s not mine to judge, it’s mine to be involved and see it. Being apart of that it gave me so much pleasure that I don’t think it’s fair to say I wasn’t happy.

THR: Do you have any tips on how to pull off a great presentation?
Wyman: It should always be something outrageous and entertaining as possible. People really give you a lot of leeway for the exceptional.

THR: If you were to dress up in costume for Comic-Con, who would you be?Pinkner: Anything where I could carry a sword or a broad ax.

THR: Seth Gabel is a series regular. How is that dynamic going to change this season?
Pinkner: We just fell in love with him, which is why we wanted to bring him back. Thus far, we’ve spent very little time with one version of him, the Lincoln Lee on their side, so I think that we’ll probably want to explore his character as well.

THR: What’s ahead for Fringe in Season 4?
Wyman: It’s going to involve a couple of newer themes. We’re just taking you down the road a little further on the journey. You’ll be able to see people from the past and you’ll be able to meet new people throughout the season.
Pinkner: Season 3 was about Walter coming to terms with truly coming to terms with the consequences of the damage that he had done when he broke two universes in order to save his son’s life and recognizing that in order to fix that damage, he may have to sacrifice that son, which was the choice he made in 2026. Peter recognizing that based on the trajectory that his universe was on, the love of his life Olivia was going to die in 2026 and he made the heroic choice to overt that outcome and now all of our characters, we find them in a place where we’re dealing with the consequences.

Belated Happy Birthday to Akiva Goldsman

The old saying goes 'better late than never,' so when I discovered this evening that Fringe executive producer extraordinaire, Akiva Goldsman, had a birthday on July 7th, I just had to post this-even late!

Akiva wrote and directed "Bad Dreams," "A New Day In The Old Town, "Over There:Part 1," and "Over There:Part 2." He co-wrote "The Road Not Taken," "There's More Than One Of Everything," "Peter," "Brown Betty," "Subject 13," "Stowaway," "Lysergic Acid Diethylamide," and "The Day We Died." He's also the man who inspired me to write Fringe fanfiction.

From all of us at Fringe Television, we wish you a Happy Belated Birthday, Akiva, and hope it was great. And as busy as you are, we hope you will be involved in as large a way as possible in the creative process of Season 4.

Noble Intentions - 313 Immortality

Here's an old new video that Fox has released yesterday.

Hey Gene! It's National Cow Appreciation Day!

I am not being udderly foolish, there really is a National Cow Appreciation Day!

Some celebrate it the second Friday in July, others celebrate it on the 14th or 15th.

Since one national fast food restaurant chain is celebrating it today(http://www.cowappreciationday.com/), I thought we here at Fringe Television should shower our favorite bovine, Walter Bishop's cow, Gene, with some lovin'.

We love ya, Gene!

Exclusive:John Noble Talks 'Fringe' Season 4 and 'The Lord of the Rings' Extended Edition Blu-ray

Exclusive: John Noble Talks 'Fringe' Season 4 and 'The Lord of the Rings' Extended Edition Blu-ray
Wed., Jun. 29, 2011 6:00 PM PDT , by Joseph McCabe

Monday night I was fortunate enough to attend the kick-off party for the brand new The Lord of the Rings: The Motion Picture Trilogy Extended Edition Blu-ray at West LA's Best Buy store. Attendees, many of them in costume, were greeted by a special appearance by Rings and Fringe star John Noble, who signed the new box set for the first one hundred and fifty fans in line. And because I love you guys so much, I made sure to ask Noble about the upcoming fourth season of Fringe – as well as about the interesting similarities between his Rings character Denethor and his character on Fringe, Walter Bishop. Find out what Noble had to tell me after the jump.

Right now it seems there are similarities between Denethor and Walter – they've both lost a son and their sanity is sometimes more than a little shaky. If Walter were to give Denethor some advice, what would it be?"Just chill out, man!" [Laughs.] I don't know… There are similarities in the sense that you've got two very proud and powerful men gutted, and having to respond to being gutted. We saw Denethor respond in a certain way. We'll see how the other fellow responds. This'll be a season for discovery.

Anna Torv mentioned to me the other night that she'd like to see how Olivia functions, at least for a little while, without Peter in her life, and to see how that plays out. Is that something you're also curious about for Walter?Oh yeah. See, the thing that rescued Walter, once they pulled him out, the thing that humanized him, was Peter. Finding this relationship with his son, that brought Walter back into the human race. Now if he doesn't have that, if he doesn't have any love in his life, what's going to happen? He's been in an asylum without love in his life all this time, if he's working without love in his life… I hope they give him Jean at least – Jean the cow! No, I am seriously thinking about that, because I know for a while I'm going to have to work on that loveless Walter. And I'm stewing around in my head already. [Laughs.]

Is it possible the grandchild he might have could fill that void in his life?Well, it depends. If there's no Peter then there's no child. It's an interesting point.

Would you like to see new universes on the show, beyond those we've seen already? We know there are two universes, and we actually know this from science. Science will tell us that there are multiple universes. I think that there's a possibility, probably not this season, but… I know that some of the audience is saying "The thing that will save the two universes now is an external threat. That's what brings people together." I've heard this from fans and I think it's very clever. So if these two universes have to meet, what's gonna make them do it? Suddenly, if there's an external threat… I've got my fingers crossed that that'll happen.

EXCLUSIVE:Kirk Acevedo on 'Fringe':"They Want Me for a Few Episodes"

EXCLUSIVE: Kirk Acevedo on 'Fringe': "They Want Me for a Few Episodes"
By Lee Hernandez 06/23/2011 - 11:00

It's been over two years since Kirk Acevedo was let go from FOX's hit show, Fringe, but the Puerto Rican actor — whose character Charlie Francis was a fan-favorite on the show — says he might be returning for several episodes in the fall. Acevedo, 39, spoke to Latina.com about his conversation with Fringe's show runners, what he'd like to see happen to Charlie on the show, and which of his Fringe co-stars he's excited to work with again.

Is there any truth to the rumor that you’ll be reprising your role as Agent Charlie Francis on Fringe?Yes. It all depends on my schedule. The only good thing is that I’m going to be in Los Angeles filming Prime Suspect, so it’s closer to Vancouver [where Fringe shoots]. I’ve got no problem [returning] if my schedule allows it.

But they do want you back, right?Yeah. I spoke to the show runners. They do! I know they want me for a few episodes.

If Charlie does return, what would you like to see happen to him?I want him to be kooky — the wilder the better for me personally. I'd rather play something really wacky.

Two years ago, you were upset about being let go from the show. How do you feel about it now?Obviously in the heat of the moment you take it personally, but it's not personal. I tell people all of the time that they would make any show in this business — whether it's Black, White, Hispanic, Jewish, Colombian, Dominican — whatever. They'll make it if it sells. It's a business. It's not personal. So I can't take it personally if people made artistic decisions on the show. My ego took it personal — that's the difference.

Who of your former Fringe co-stars are you excited to work with again?Oh, I love Ana [Torv]. Me and Ana got along well, so she definitely would be one of my favorites!

Do you think Ana might get some Emmy love this year?She should! She busts her ass on that show. And John Noble does, too. John definitely busts his ass on that show. They should both get at least a little something. And you know what, the writers, too. Because think about it — you've got to have imagination to write the dialogue and to come up with the plot line for alternate universes. It's remarkable. I don't know why it hasn't gotten any love yet. Ana should at least get a nomination. A nomination is a win.

Do you have a message for your loyal Fringe fans?That I enjoy Charlie Francis. I love everything about him — I even love his name. There's a lot of times that I hate my character name. I love the name Charlie Francis because I almost named my child Charlie Francis before I even got the show! And the fans are great — everybody's just so cool. I'm a sci-fi geek, too!

Matt's Inside Line:Scoop on Damages, Fringe, Glee Leverage, OLTL and More!

Matt's Inside Line: Scoop on Damages, Fringe, Glee, Leverage, OLTL and More!
by Matt Webb Mitovitch

Fringe When it comes to the fallout of the finale, I’m the first to admit I’ve been focused on the Peter puzzle and the fun of now having double the Walters and Olivias in our midst. But what about Broyles? Does he now get two Fringe divisions to lord over, bickering doppelgangers and all? Lance Reddick suspects as much. “I think the challenge for Broyles is going to be balancing his relationship with his own Fringe division and the other one – the whole, ‘Who’s in charge?’ kind of thing,” he tells TVLine. But yes, Reddick also is fixated on He Who Never Existed. “I just want to find out what’s going on with Peter,” he shares. “But I’ll find out when everybody else does!”
