Fringe Twitter and GetGlue Campaign For 420,"Worlds Apart"-Worlds Apart

Fringe Twitter and GetGlue Campaign For 420, "Worlds Apart"-Worlds Apart 
The last Fringe Twitter and GetGlue campaign, sponsored by Fringenuity on April 20th was quite successful.
Thanks to Fox Broadcasting's help, the entire episode aired with the Fringenuity hash tag "FightTheFuture" on the screen instead of #Fringe, for the fifth time in the show's history!

The group, Fringenuity, hosts the Friday night Twitter/GetGlue campaigns.
Fringe Television is proud to support Fringenuity's efforts to promote "Fringe" in as many social media venues as possible, and asks for your help.

**SEASON 5 UPDATE:As of this evening, FOX has officially picked up Fringe for a fifth season composed of 13 episodes!**

Tomorrow night we want to continue our social media domination and thank FOX, the show's sponsors, the executive producers, cast, and crew by trying to get the hash tag #WorldsApart to trend on Twitter starting at 8PM Eastern.
That's 1 hour before the new episode airs, and then again at 8PM Pacific time.

Why keep tweeting? Because we know that ratings isn't just about Nielsen boxes anymore. TV networks and their contractors pay attention to which TV shows are 'socially-active' and our show Fringe is very socially-active on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, and other venues.

Why continue this effort? Last Friday's event catapaulted Fringe in multiple social media platforms, and we would like to keep Fringe visible in these platforms in the weeks and months ahead.


Please consider joining in tomorrow night at 8PM Eastern and 8PM Pacific to support your favorite show by signing into Twitter and using the #WorldsApart hash tag.

If you are not familiar with Twitter, you can create an new account rather painlessly at http://www.twitter.com/.

For more information on this week's special Fringe Twitter event visit the Fringenuity website here.

You can also adopt a special icon from 69 different designs(!), and/or 3 lovely banners for this event by clicking here or here.

An important reminder: Please do not tweet with the #WorldsApart hash tag until 8PM Eastern, to increase the likelihood of trending! And volume helps, so tweet slowly, and tweet often after the start time Friday night! Also, retweet tweets that you like, that have the # hash tag.

Let's dominate Twitter Friday night, and make our hash tag and our show trend worldwide! Again!

***ButWait! There's more!***

Another social network platform that needs our attention on Friday nights is GetGlue.com.
If you are not familiar with getglue.com it is a very clever advertising site married to social networking.
GetGlue merges fans with their interests, and their interests' sponsors.

If you have a GetGlue account you can "check-in" to Fringe. The shows that get the most check-ins are highly visible to the networks and the show's sponsors.

It is recommended you start checking into GetGlue closer to the start time of Fringe to increase the chance of trending there. For the last several Friday nights we made Fringe the #1 checked in show on GetGlue!

Fringenuity is asking that this Friday, your first check-in to one of Fringe's sponsors on GetGlue, ie. Nissan Leaf, and thank them for supporting Fringe. Think it doesn't make a difference? Guess again.

For the last few weeks, due to our GetClue check-ins, the Nissan Leaf was one of the most checked-in sponsors on the site.

Let’s make it a combined effort to not only check-in to the show, but to also check-in to the show’s advertisers and comment, “Thank You for your support of Fringe! @FringeOnFox”

If you don’t have a GetGlue account, make one at http://www.getglue.com/.
You can post your check-ins to Twitter and/or Facebook.

The more activity, the better, as this may also get other Fringies involved in the GetGlue check-ins.

GetGlue also has convenient mobile phone aps for iphone, Android, and Blackberry.

THE BOTTOM LINE: Please, enjoy the new episode tomorrow night, and support high visibility of your show by tweeting on Twitter with the special hash tag, and checking into Fringe at GetGlue and thanking at least 1 of Friday night's many sponsors. Your efforts will not go unrewarded, and it is quite likely these actions helped us acquire a Season 5!

 Fringedom, the time is now to thank FOX, the show's sponsors, and everyone affiliated with Fringe by watching "Worlds Apart" LIVE tomorrow night, and joining in this Twitter/GetGlue event!

Fringe Observiews 4.19 Letters Of Transit

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

Screen caps from this episode are taken from fringefiles.com. Dialog is from fringepedia.net/transcripts.

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 could also have missed a few things, oh well.

4.14 The End Of All Things

THE OBSERVER: “We are you-- we're human... many generations after your lifetime. We are one of countless possible futures for humanity. Our technology has uniquely afforded us the ability to travel within and outside of time so that we may observe our beginnings.”
PETER: “But you've done a lot more than observe.”

You can say that again, Peter.

SFX: 20 Things We Love About Fringe

Jayne Nelson of SFX explains why Fringe Division is the best in its league…

It’s the show that plays fast and loose with the laws of physics, the laws of gravity and just about every other scientific law there is. Professor Brian Cox [think Bill Nye] would not approve . But if you take off your lab coat, put your feet up on the sofa and forget scientific accuracy, Fringe is one of the most brilliantly-imagined fantasy dramas to come along in ages – it even has parallel universes to choose from!

Here is the list of 20 things SFX loves about Fringe:

1. It’s The New X-Files
2. Walter/Walternate
3. The Concept
4. There’s A Cow In It
5. Peter Bishop
6. Our First Glimpse Of The Twin Towers
7. Nina Sharp’s Hair
8. The Opening Credits
9. The Observers
10. Blink And You Miss ’Em Gags
11. Fauxlivia
12. It’s What's-her-name!
13. The Episode “Peter”
14. Lincoln Lee
15. Will They/Won’t They/They Did/Except Not Really
16. Alternate Broyles
17. Strange Deaths
18. Amber 31422
19. They Expect You To Keep Up
20. The Big Giant Words

Fringe Review: Letters of Transit

“Resistance must take place at any opportunity.”

This was a great episode, almost despite itself. An hour devoted to people we have never met, this close to what might be the final episode of the show ever? And yet it was touching, interesting, and extremely well done, just like all Fringe episodes are. But while “Letters of Transit” was a great episode, I’m still not sure that I’m on board with the direction this season has taken, or with the place of this episode in the master plan.

Vote For Fringe In The E! "Save One Show" Poll - Final Round!

E! Online is running their annual Save One Show event, which gives you a unique chance to help rescue your favorite endangered series from the evil clutches of cancellation. Here is an explanation of how it works:

After we get our winner, we announce the show to save on E! News and on E! Online, and then we take your message directly to that network. The powers-that-be will get your message loud and clear. And in the past decade, we've successfully help rescues shows like Felicity, Angel and One Tree Hill. When we get down to the finales, we even get the stars of the shows involved, and the outcome is always amazing.

UPDATE: Fringe has made it to the final round of voting, but it will need a lot more votes to overcome the current front runner "Body Of Proof". There is still plenty of time to catch up, since polls don't close until Sunday, April 29 at 5 p.m. PT. So tell your friends, and vote often!

#Fringe’s Josh Jackson On Twitter Fears AND John Noble Shows Off New Haircut (seriously)

#Fringe’s Josh Jackson On Twitter Fears AND John Noble Shows Off New Haircut (seriously)
by Jim Halterman on April 20, 2012

@VanCityJax @JPFringe @JWFringe Talking to Josh Jackson (Peter) last week on the red carpet at the Paley Center’s TV Out of the Box event may have been pointless in terms of getting spoilers BUT he did urge everyone to watch Episode 19 of Fringe, which airs tonight on FOX (9/8c right after The Finder). And the always lovely John Noble (Walter), fresh from shooting the finale, sported a sharper new look.

See Jim's entire post here.

EP's Joel Wyman & Jeff Pinkner LIVE Tweeting During 419-Josh Jackson Too!

You've heard me say executive producer Joel Wyman is a frequent visitor to Twitter.
Especially lately, as he knows Fringe fans have been awaiting news of a renewal of the series for a 5th season.

Wednesday afternoon Joel dropped in and said he and co-showrunner Jeff Pinkner will be live tweeting
both airings of episode 419 this Friday night.

As icing on the cake, Josh Jackson tweeted a few hours later that he would be live tweeting also,
but only during the West Coast airing.

Say hello to Joel, Jeff, and Josh and shower them with praise this Friday night!

If you do not have a Twitter account you can easily make one at http://twitter.com/

Follow the 3 of them at these Twitter addresses:

@JWFRINGE  Joel Wyman
@JPFRINGE   Jeff Pinkner
@VanCity Jax   Joshua Jackson

(fo note:I wouldn't be surprised to see other Fringe alumni live tweet also such as Jasika Nicole,
Kirk Acevedo, Lance Reddick, Michael Cerveris, and Michelle Krusiec.)
