[WARNING - THIS POST CONTAINS FRINGE SEASON 4 SPOILERS!!!]

The battle will soon be upon us in Fringe season 5. As the Observers make their way into our world, will the Fringe team be able to prevent the events depicted in 2036 from occurring?

Speaking with TV Guide and TV Line, Fringe executive producers J.H. Wyman and Jeff Pinkner reveal what’s in store for season 5, how the impending battle will seamlessly fit into the series’ overall storyline, the huge payoff that’s waiting for fans at the end of the series, and much more.

While there’s no talk about the potential return of William Bell in season 5, one should never discount Fringe‘s ability to surprise its audience. Things are dependent on Leonard Nimoy’s decision to return, and it is not currently known ...

‘Fringe’ Season 4 Finale Review & Discussion

Anthony Ocasio — Sat, 12 May 2012 02:00:02 +0000

Wrapped in a two-part scientific showdown, the Fringe season 4 finale brought the two great minds of Walter Bishop and William Bell together for what could have been the last episode of the series ever. Fortunately, that’s not the case. After all, they are coming.

While part one of the finale can largely be viewed as a somewhat typical episode of Fringe, though not without its own surprises and revelations, the finale really shines during part two. Despite being separated by a week – a move which served to beautifully highlight the sheer amount of quality content being presented in the season finale, though something the producers like didn’t have control over.

A two-hour finale, though making for wonderful promotion and element of “event” television, doesn’t lend itself to the calculated pacing that is included in these two final episodes. As ...

‘Fringe’ Season 4 Finale Trailer: Observers and…Dinosaurs?

Scott Stoute — Wed, 09 May 2012 20:56:37 +0000

[DO NOT READ UNLESS YOU ARE UP TO DATE ON FRINGE SEASON 4]

Coming off last week’s shocking episode of Fringe, where we saw a team member go down, this week’s season 4 finale is set to take the series to a whole new level of bizarre – with more mad scientists, Observers and, if you believe the trailer (below), dinosaurs?

In last weeks’e episode of Fringe - which is the first of two installments for the finale – it was surprisingly revealed that William Bell (Leonard Nimoy) is still alive. Even more surprising than the sheer knowledge of Bell’s existence was the fact that Leonard Nimoy actually reprised the role in person. With Bell (potentially) killing a fan-favorite character on the series, while also revealing to be puppet master behind David Robert Jones, the battle has been set for the Fringe season 4 Finale.

‘Fringe’ Renewed For Season 5 To Finish Series

Anthony Ocasio — Fri, 27 Apr 2012 01:53:57 +0000

Check Out: ‘Fringe’ Season 5 Details Revealed

The prayers of Fringe fans from around the world have been answered: Fox has renewed Fringe for season 5, which will also serve as the series’ finale.

This news came after months of waiting in anticipation for an announcement. Ever since Fox president Kevin Reily revealed that the network was losing “a lot of money on the show,” fans of the series have been preparing for the worst.

Fortunately, Fox has somewhat of a soft spot for Fringe and its many fans. So in order for the series to continue, Warner Bros. has agreed to reduce the amount that Fox pays the studio for each episode of the show.

Here’s what Reily had to say about Fringe’s renewal:

Fringe is a remarkably creative series that has set the ...

‘Fringe’ Season 4 Finale Has 2 Endings (In Case of Cancellation)

Anthony Ocasio — Mon, 16 Apr 2012 22:51:18 +0000

The Fringe season 4 finale will soon be upon us. But with no word from Fox regarding their renewal decision for the cult series, the highly anticipated episodes may also serve as Fringe’s series finale.

Fortunately, the producers have made plans for whatever Fox decides to do with the series next year, by having two separate endings, depending on whether or not the series is picked up for season 5.

Speaking with Zap2It, Agent Broyles himself, Lance Reddick, discussed the two different endings – as well as what question won’t be answered in the Fringe season 4 finale:

“Something happens at the very, very end of the season finale. It may or may not stay; I don’t know. It could open up an entire new season.

It could be a cliffhanger, but the thing that’s beautiful about the way ...

‘Fringe’ Season 5 Will Head to Comic Books if Show Gets Canceled

Scott Stoute — Tue, 20 Mar 2012 20:47:04 +0000

Even though Fringe fans are still waiting to find out if their favorite series will be returning for season 5, the producers already have a backup plan set in place, just in case the series doesn’t return next year: comics.

Speaking at WonderCon this past weekend, Fringe executive producers J.H. Wyman and Jeff Pinkner revealed that not only would they like to have one more season to wrap the series up, they also said that if Fox doesn’t renew Fringe for another season, they’ll be heading to comic books for season 5.

Here’s what Pinker had to say about the potential comic book:

It would be really elaborate and we would go to town on it and make sure that everything you needed to understand about the show would be in that and pay off that way. That’s ...

Fringe Season 5 Renewal Under Negotiation

Will Fringe return for another season?
Fringe Season 5 Renewal Under Negotiation

As Fringe passes its halfway point of season 4, the severity of Peter’s need to return to his own timeline is finally revealed when two worlds begin to collide, causing their inhabitants to take on memories they previously didn’t have – in this world, at least.

A preternatural occurrence brings the Fringe team to air-polluted Westfield. But when Walter’s offer for a free piece of advice is almost the death of him, the trio begin to realize that there are much stronger forces are at play in this small town.

Two irises, rapid mitosis and 92 chromosomes (double the amount in a normal human being) leads Walter to reminisce about a previous experiment he conducted with ...

Anthony Ocasio — Sat, 28 Jan 2012 02:00:01 +0000

With Peter and Walter finally working towards returning Peter back to his own timeline, the pieces of the puzzle that makes up Fringe season 4 are beginning to fall into place.

But when a mysterious teenage girl with the ability to predict death shows up, the Fringe team must find out what’s behind her otherworldly talents – and what, if anything, the Observers have to do with it.

Still reeling from the news that one rogue Observer gave her, Olivia pulls out all the stops to find out as much as she can about the hairless enigma, who is at least 91 years old (but is safe from the Spanish Flu).

While it currently stands that Olivia must die – no matter what possible future she’s in – there’s one person that’s going to make sure ...

‘Fringe’ Season 5 Renewal Under Negotiation

Anthony Ocasio — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 14:59:56 +0000

It’s been a long, tough road for Fox’s Friday night cult series Fringe. Since making the move to television’s famed “death spot” in January 2011, each season of Fringe has been accompanied with the notion that the series could be coming to an end. While the cancelation warnings still remain, Fox is negotiating the possibility of the series returning for season 5.

Currently discussing the future of the series with Warner Bros. (the studio that produces Fringe), Fox has made it clear that they’re absolutely interested in keeping the series on the air, but only if the price is right.

Fox’s major point of contention with continuing Fringe is the license fee that the network has to pay Warner Bros. for each episode. Previously revealing that ...

Fringe Season 4: ‘Wallflower’ Spoilers Discussion

Anthony Ocasio — Sat, 19 Nov 2011 02:08:22 +0000

The repercussions of Peter’s (Joshua Jackson) return to Fringe are apparent, but just how much is his presence impacting the world around him? And is there anything that can be done to fix it?

In tonight’s episode, entitled “Wallflower,” an invisible force is proven to be behind the death of an innocent man. After his dead body begins to take on the appearance of a ghost, Walter (John Noble) and company jump on the case.

While attempting to search for what’s behind this mysterious event, the Fringe team stumbles upon other occurrences of this invisible force, which have resulted in additional deaths. When all signs point to a single person behind these preternatural slayings, they soon find out that it’s an unknown genetic disorder that’s driving him to kill.

Unfortunately, while everyone is focused on the case of ...

Friday TV Preview Round-Up: ‘Chuck,’ ‘Fringe,’ & ‘Supernatural’

Ben Moore — Tue, 15 Nov 2011 15:23:27 +0000

This year’s seasons of Chuck, Supernatural, and Fringe – cult favorites within the “geek” community – have been a bit underwhelming compared to previous seasons. Yet all three series are still more entertaining and well-crafted than nearly all of the newest genre shows to hit the air (Once Upon a Time and Grimm, we’re looking in your direction).

Today, we have three video previews for this Friday’s respective episodes: Chuck’s “Chuck Versus the Business Trip,” Supernatural’s “How to Win Friends and Influence Monsters,” and Fringe’s “Wallflower.”

‘Fringe’ Season 4 ‘One Night In October’ Recap & Spoilers Discussion

Michael Crider — Sat, 01 Oct 2011 03:15:04 +0000

What makes you, you? Is it your DNA, your brain chemistry, your upbringing, your memories? If your life had been changed in an innumerable amount of tiny ways, would you still be the same person?

These are the questions that season 4, episode 2 of Fringe, “One Night In October,” attempts to answer.

It probably goes without saying, but the following contains major Fringe spoilers!

As the episode opens, we’re treated to a dank, dark room, where two men are talking. One is strapped into a chair, terrified. The other is asking him about his happiest childhood memories. It’s slowly revealed that both have tubes of blue liquid surgically inserted into the back of their skulls, leading to a home-made device. As the camera pans away, the victim’s face, including a single tear, freezes solid. ...

‘Fringe’ Season 4 Premiere Review & Discussion

Michael Crider — Sat, 24 Sep 2011 01:00:15 +0000

Fox’s science fiction staple returns for its fourth season debut tonight, with a summer’s worth of mystery and speculation behind it.

After the cliffhanger finale to Fringe season three, will the premiere answer fans’ burning questions or keep them guessing?

Fringe opens up a week after Peter created the universal bridge in the finale. The Fringe divisions of the FBI in both the primary universe (ours) and the alternate universe (theirs) have established a sort of safe house where people and objects can move safely and easily between realities. Olivia (Anna Torv) seems to be the unofficial liaison, which causes noticeable strain on her character’s much-abused sense of trust, as her alternate is also a liaison.

Back at the Harvard lab, Walter Bishop (John Noble) and Astrid (Jasika ...

‘Fringe’ Season 4 Teaser: Walter Plays God & Peter Sends A Letter

Michael Crider — Sun, 18 Sep 2011 05:35:04 +0000

The season 4 premiere of Fringe is mere days away, and we’re no closer to finding the answers to questions raised last season. In what’s likely to be the last teaser before the season proper, we get a good look at what Walter, Olivia and Astrid have been doing in the interim.

The Fringe team seems to be back to their old tricks, with the obvious exception of one member. Walter is experimenting with a life-restoring serum, with promising (if not soaring) results. Lots of other typically creepy science detritus is visible in quick flashes.

A notable addition to the Fringe Division appears to be Special Agent Lincoln Lee. Long-time Fringe observers will recognize him as the alt-universe Fringe Division captain who took over after alt-Broyles was waylaid. In the primary universe, Lee is ...

The highlight of this week’s home video slate is the release of X-Men: First Class on DVD and Blu-ray. While it does not come out until Friday, you’ll have some other worthy options on Tuesday.

Everything Must Go and Hanna both provide home audiences with indie film choices. On one hand you’ve got the latest Will Ferrell dramedy, and on the other is a unique thriller unlike any other this year.

In addition to the high profile new releases, one of the most polarizing classics of all time hits Blu-ray. Scarface is a film that people seem to either love or hate. Either way, Universal Studios has provided it with a special edition Steelbook release.

The following titles can be found on DVD and Blu-ray.

‘Fringe’ Season 4 Teaser Trailer: Where Is Peter Bishop?

Michael Crider — Thu, 25 Aug 2011 23:24:22 +0000

The tense wait for the fourth season of Fringe is almost over with its premiere airing in just under a month. Until then, fans will have to make due with usual assortment of cryptic clues in the form a of a new Fringe season 4 trailer.

There’s no doubt among Fringe observers that Joshua Jackson’s character Peter Bishop will return, but after last season’s cliffhanger ending, there’s no telling just how that will play out. It looks like Peter is still operating in some capacity, despite being apparently erased from both of Fringe‘s dual realities.

Jackson has been seen on the set, and according to reports, the crew was shooting for the third or fourth episode of the new season. That means it could be at least a few weeks after the premiere that fans ...
