Fringe media master, and friend to Fringe fans, Ari Margolis, just Tweeted (@jonxproductions) that he is starting a Fringe "Song Of the Week"(SOTW) feature today.

Every Friday, Ari will post a new SOTW and the YouTube link to it on his Twitter account.

Previously, from mid-May until the Season 4 premiere date of September 23rd, Ari posted a Fringe "Song Of The Day" link, often using fan suggestions, and at least 2 from cast member, Jasika Nicole.

And speaking of Jasika Nicole, she is now officially on Twitter as of yesterday! You can follow and tweet her at @JasikaNicole!

Please Tweet Ari and Jasika and thank them for all that they do, and their never-ending fan appreciation.

Watch Fringe Live and Win!

Tonight is the second week of our "Watch Fringe Live and Win!" contest, which rewards people who watch Fringe live!

Last weeks lucky winner was Susan212, who will be receiving a copy of "Fringe: The Complete Third Season" on DVD, compliments of Warner Bros. Worldwide Television Marketing Group on behalf of Fox.com/Fringe.

Contest Note: There were 60 entries for last weeks contest, and only 12 of those entries have email addresses or Facebook pages attached to their profiles in which I could contact them. So your chances to win last week was only 1 in 12! 


We are still working with Warner Bros for the next two weeks, so this week's prize is another  "Fringe: The Complete Third Season" on DVD.
 

Every week during the airing of Fringe, we will have a special "Watch Fringe Live Contest" post. So you don't have to miss a single minute of Fringe (or any commercials ;), we will start the entry period 15 minutes prior to the episode, and close it 15 minutes after. We will have the contest post open for both east coast and west coast airings.

To be eligible to win, you must watch Fringe Live, and leave a comment in the special post during the contest period. Important: You must log-in before leaving a comment - comments as "anonymous" will not be accepted. Also, your logged in account must have some sort of email address attached so I can contact you if you win (for spam's sake, please do not post your email in the comments). The winning name will be selected at random from all eligible entries.


To make things a little easier this week, if you can't figure out the whole signing-up-for-a-blogger-account-thing, we will have a special form you can fill out to enter in you email address. 

Lastly, the contest (and Fringe ratings) are limited to US residents only.

Happy Fringe Friday!

Despite all the creepy enigmas that surround Fox's sci-fi drama "Fringe," it's no great mystery as to what the secret is behind the show's appeal.

It's the chemistry among FBI agent Oliva Dunham (Anna Torv), her love interest Peter Bishop (Joshua Jackson) and his eccentric scientist father, Walter (John Noble).

So what on Earth - this or any alternate one - were the show's brain-trust thinking when they wrote one of the show's main characters, Peter, out as he sacrificed himself to save this world and an alternate universe from destroying each other at the end of last season's finale?

Fringe Easter Eggs: Alias Scanner

Here is a comparison of the body scanner used in the Fringe episode "Neither Here Nor There", and the scanner used in the J.J. Abrams show Alias.

It’s A Parallel Life! Or: Welcome To Bishopsville

Strange, isn't it? Each man's life touches so many other lives. When he isn't around he leaves an awful hole, doesn't he?
- Clarence, Angel, 2nd Class

I know what it's like to have a hole in my life. It's been there as long as I can remember.
- Olivia Dunham, Fringe Division


"Neither Here Nor There" is a title that evokes a few things. First and foremost, the strange here/not here existence of Peter Bishop; the fact that the present timelines have changed; and perhaps most importantly, the little piece of real estate that now exists beneath the Statue of Liberty. Right now, the show's reality is like a Venn Diagram - the two spheres that threatened to smash into each other have now partly merged and that merged sliver is, quite literally, neither here nor there. It's a bridge that owes allegiance to neither side. While watching the episode I was frequently reminded of another story whose bridge was crucial to its story: It's A Wonderful Life.

Observiews 4.01 Neither Here Nor There

Welcome to the Observiews for Season 4 of Fringe. I call them Observiews because they are more visual observations than deep thinking reviews, if that makes sense :)

This season, as far as Observiews go, is going to be a little more challenging. Fringe is not available on Hulu (1 day after air date) anymore, so I’m relying on screencaps from FringeFiles.com. I did tape it and will use some of mine but the quality is not that good. So please be patient.

All observations are mine and therefore could be totally off the wall and/or wrong:). I have not read or looked at any recaps or reviews.

I want to start where I left off at the end of last season. If you remember, Peter went in the machine to save both universes. By doing so, he wrote himself out of existence and we were left with our mouths open, at least I was. So…

1.01 "Pilot"

Olivia: “I just want to go back to before.” Broyles: “Dunham, I don’t think you can.”

Well, in a sense we are but it’s slightly different. Let me do a recap before we delve into details.

Q&A WITH FRINGE STAR JOSH JACKSON

Thursday, September 22nd, 2011
By Brandy Phillips


We had an opportunity to ask FRINGE star Josh Jackson a few questions about his role as a writer on the new digital comic series BEYOND THE FRINGE, here’s what he had to say:

THE SOURCE: How did you get involved with this project?
JOSH JACKSON: I’m not sure who above my pay grade made the choice to ask me but, I was brought in when our producers where looking for writers for the new run of Fringe comics.

TS: Are you a big comics reader or fan?
JJ: Like just about every guy my age comics were a huge part of growing up. I have probably spent thousands of hours debating ‘who would win’ and ‘which powers kick ass more’ But lately I tend to read longer form graphic novels.

TS: What has it been like for you to write a comic, do you enjoy the process?
JJ: Writing in comic form is totally different from standard script writing. Thankfully I had a couple helpers to get me used to writing panel by panel instead of scene by scene.

TS: What can we expect from “Beyond the Fringe”?
JJ: From my portion of it, I hope that it will fill in a piece of Peters’ story in a satisfying way.

TS: How does the comic tie to season four of the show?
JJ: You’ll have to read ‘em and find out!
