Here's a really nice "thank you" video from FOX that appeared on YouTube yesterday.
Members of the Fringe cast thank fans/viewers for their support and role in obtaining a Season 5.

The Fringe Podcast Episode 449-Brave New World Part 2

In this episode of The Fringe Podcast we discuss part 2 of the season 4 finale, "Brave New World." We start out the episode by playing clips from a round table interview we did with Leonard Nimoy and hear his thoughts on Fringe and why he decided to come out of retirement for this role. We also share our thoughts on the episode as a whole, the death of Olivia, Olivia's powers, Olivia's pregnancy and her possible loss of cortexiphan powers. We also discuss the Observers, William Bell's disappearance, the acting and directing of the episode, AND we just might settle up on a couple of banana bets. All of this and SO much more!

Fringe Review: Brave New World, Part II

Fringe finales are usually remarkable works of art: emotionally affecting, scientifically (and delightfully) improbable, mythologically fascinating. This finale was not remarkable, merely good. It is more interesting to wonder what will happen next than to consider what has just happened.

Fringe Glyph Code in "Brave New World, Part 2"

The Glyphs code in the Fringe episode "Brave New World, Part 2" spelled out PURGE, like the bullet from Oliva's head, or the Cortexiphan from her system.

Fringe Observiews 4.21 Brave New World Part 1

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…

1.01 The Pilot

…! 

Hm, who could that be?

Attention all citizens. This is a Fringe Alert!

Have you seen this man? Or someone that looks similar to him?
Description: bald, no eyebrows, sometimes wears a fedora and carries a briefcase. Appears out of nowhere and shows up only for a few seconds.

Please report immediately!

Sorry, no reward!

Fringe Twitter and GetGlue Campaign For 422 "Brave New World:Part II"-

Fringe Twitter and GetGlue Campaign For 422 "Brave New World:Part II"-Build A Better World
The last Fringe Twitter and GetGlue campaign, sponsored by Fringenuity on May 3rd was quite successful.
Thanks to Fox Broadcasting's help, the entire episode aired with the Fringenuity hash tag "DarkestBeforeDawn" on the screen instead of #Fringe, for the seventh 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.

Tomorrow night we want to continue our social media domination, close out Season 4 with a bang, and thank FOX, the show's sponsors, the executive producers, cast, and crew by trying to get the hash tag #BuildABetterWorld 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 catapulted Fringe in multiple social media platforms, and we would like to keep Fringe visible in these platforms in the weeks and months ahead, even over the summer hiatus.

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

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, including the special icons, banners, and brandy new icon matrix visit the Fringenuity website here.

An important reminder: Please do not tweet with the #BuildABetterWorld 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 #BuildABetterWorld hash tag.

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

********EXTRA!EXTRA! Need another reason to tweet tonight?********
Executive producer, Joel Wyman, dropped by Twitter this afternoon, and confirmed for me that he will be LIVE tweeting during the airings tomorrow night! And, Fringe media master, Ari Margolis, will also be LIVE tweeting tomorrow night during both airings!

***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 tomorrow night, 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 Season 4 finale 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 "Brave New World:Part II" LIVE tomorrow night, and joining in this Twitter/GetGlue event!

FRINGE - Bell Is Back

'Fringe' Star Tackles The Tonys!

'Fringe' Star Tackles The Tonys!
 By Jarett Wieselman

With his piercing eyes and insanely powerful presence, it's hard to imagine Michael Cerveris blending into the background -- but that's exactly what his biggest TV gig to date required him to do after Michael was cast as Fringe's mysterious Observer in the pilot episode.

Spotting him became an exciting small screen game of Where's Waldo, but that paled in comparison to the enervating effect Michael had on the show when his Observer, named September, stepped out of the shadows. Since The Arrival, a season one episode that delved deeper into Observer mythology, Michael has become a fan favorite -- and clearly a favorite with the writers as well since September has proven himself to be invincible! I caught up with Cerveris to find out how September plays into the Fringe season finale, why this has been such an exciting ride and what a fifth Tony nomination (for Best Actor in a Musical for Evita) means to him!

 Insider.com: When you first signed on to Fringe, did you have any idea The Observers would become such important players?
 Michael Cerveris: No. Not at all. When I first auditioned I was under the impression that this was a one episode guest star thing – and that's what they told me. Pretty quickly afterwards I got a call saying they had this idea to put me into every episode of the first season – I would just be in the background and they would reveal me around episode 13. I thought that was so cool. Then somebody at the network decided they liked the character so much they moved the reveal up to the fourth episode.

Insider: At that point, how much did they tell you?
 Michael: I had a conversation with Jeff Pinker who said that this character is going to have crucial parts to play in the meta-story of the whole show. So as long as Fringe is on, I was told I'd be part of it – at the time, who knew what that meant! [laughs] It's worked out better than any of us could have dreamed. It's so fantastic to be part of a show that is so over-achieving in all the best ways.

 Insider: It's true. And unlike so many other shows that promise big things, Fringe is actually able to accomplish the daring things it sets out to.
 Michael: Yeah. That's true. And so few do it with as much heart. As complex as the storylines are and the science behind it all, Fringe is also a story about really beautiful human relationships. A lot of that has to do with the cast too because they're all such incredible actors.

 Insider: I was thrilled when last week's promo revealed September would be back in the finale. What can you tease about the episode?
Michael: Yes! I was relieved to hear they'd let that much slip so I can confess to having been there. He does show up in Friday's episode with some key bits of the puzzle to explain. But even he is caught off guard by some things that happen in the episode, which is nice because he's normally a few universes ahead of everyone else. Some things happen that surprise even September – and will surprise the viewers for sure!
