FRINGE: J.H. Wyman Thanks the Fans

For FRINGE (and its fans), the journey has never been easy. The further the show dove into its mythology — and the core of what made it so special — the more the series struggled to retain viewers…and remain on air.
Enter the fans.
Sure, no series could be saved by fan love alone (as romantic as that notion might be, it’s still sadly “show business”), but the FRINGE fans raised their voices and got proactive: despite the FRINGE bosses telling them to not worry too much about the ratings, they sent in licorice and created Twitter hashtags to build buzz for the show. (To just name a few things.) And thanks to that, plus support from FRINGE’s network (Fox President of Entertainment Kevin Reilly has been a vocal supporter) and studio (Warner Bros. Television President Peter Roth is a big enough fan of the series that he was able to name his favorite episode/storyline during our interview at the 100th episode event), the cult favorite was able to conclude its story on its own terms.
Since all good things must come to an end, today is the last day of filming for FRINGE. It’s bittersweet and more than a little unreal that the series did reach episode 100, but it felt only fitting that on this day, I share with you FRINGE showrunner J.H. Wyman’s thanks to the fans…
FRINGE: Jasika Nicole Teases Astrid’s ‘Pivotal’ Role in the Final Episodes

It’s no secret FRINGE’s Astrid hasn’t had much to do so far in the show’s final season, but thankfully, things are about to change.
“She ends up being really pivotal to piecing this whole puzzle together,” FRINGE star Jasika Nicole (Astrid) teased about the role her character will play in the final batch of episodes. I mean, that’s only fitting, right?
Take a look at what else Nicole had to tease…
FRINGE: John Noble Teases ‘Black Blotter’

In FRINGE’s second, third, and fourth season, episode 19 marked an hour that was “a little off the beaten path.” I mean, how else could the show do a musical noir, animated installment, or an episode that jumped more than two decades into the future? Sadly, since the fifth and final season of FRINGE will only consist of 13 episodes, the series won’t reach that annual tradition…but executive producer J.H. Wyman did tease that this week’s episode is what comes the closest.
When I spoke with FRINGE star John Noble (Walter) at the Fox show’s 100th episode/series finale event, he teased a little bit about what you can expect from “Black Blotter”…

FRINGE Recap: ‘The Human Kind’
December 8, 2012 by Marisa Roffman
Filed under Fringe Recap
Despite some of the FRINGE episode titles being super literal this season, I was a little afraid to get too attached to tonight’s title. (“The Human Kind,” in case you missed this post’s headline or any of the other posts I wrote about the show this week.) Was it about Peter’s rapidly deteriorating humanity? Olivia’s fight to save him? Something else entirely?
This episode was an important one. Several times over the past couple of months, Joshua Jackson (Peter) pointed to his character needing to be at a certain place by episode 4 (when Etta died), and then mentioned episode 8, and then the finale. And after watching tonight’s hour, it’s pretty clear why it stuck out in his mind.

Comments Off on ‘We Have Thoughts’ Vodcast: Danielle and Marisa Share Some of Their Favorite TV Moments of the Season
My friend/vodcast partner-in-crime Danielle Turchiano (from Made Possible By Pop Culture) and I often get geeky during our “We Have Thoughts” vodcast, but this may take the cake.
Recently, Danielle and I sat down to discuss some of our favorite moments from the television season so far, and, unsurprisingly, we had some opinions.
Take a look at our choices…
FRINGE: John Noble Teases a ‘Beautiful Ending’ to the Walter/Peter Relationship
December 7, 2012 by Marisa Roffman
Filed under #1 featured, Fringe
As FRINGE winds down, one of the most complex relationships the series has been nurturing — the father-son dynamic between Walter and Peter — is on shaky ground: as Peter continues to morph into an Observer, Walter is blissfully unaware, still depending on his son to be his saving grace.
So what will Walter do when he finds out the truth? I spoke with FRINGE star John Noble (Walter) to see what’s to come for our Bishop boys, and why the finale will keep you on the edge of your set…

Comments Off on FRINGE: J.H. Wyman Teases ‘Twists and Turns — A Lot of Things You Won’t See Coming’ in the Final Episodes
For as emotionally charged as the first seven episodes of FRINGE’s final season have been, it certainly seems like the ride isn’t going to get smoother any time soon.
“I always said I wanted everybody to go through this journey with the characters at ground level,” FRINGE showrunner J.H. Wyman told me when I asked him for a tease about the final six hours of the series. “And feel what they feel and go through what they feel. And that’s what I’m going to do.”
Take a look for what else he had to say (there are twists and turns coming!), including a tease of an upcoming musical moment…
Seth Gabel Praises His Upcoming ARROW Role as ‘The Most Fun I’ve Ever Had’

ARROW has had no shortage of amazing guest stars in its first season, but the upcoming guest star that has me most excited is former FRINGE star Seth Gabel, who will be playing The Count. (The character is modeled on the ARROW villain Count Vertigo.)
As luck would have it, I caught up with Gabel over the weekend at an event celebrating FRINGE’s 100th episode/series finale, and he praised his time on ARROW as “the most fun I’ve ever had.”
Take a look at what he had to tease about finally playing a villain, crafting this character, and more…
FRINGE: Joshua Jackson Teases What’s to Come

One of the most alarming problems (as of now) as we lead into FRINGE’s final six episodes is Peter and his rapidly deteriorating humanity. (This is why we should not be playing with Observer tech. So, you know, if you find yourself in that position in the future…)
When I was up in Vancouver for the Fox show’s 100th episode/finale event, I spoke with FRINGE star Joshua Jackson (Peter) about finally getting to indulge in his Observer-y side, and where that might take him for the end of the series…

FRINGE Exclusive: And Episode 12’s Title Is…

Filed under #1 featured, Fringe, GMMR Exclusives
With episodes 1-11 and 13 of the final season of FRINGE already named, there is just one remaining title for us to ponder over. And, as luck would have it, the title of episode 12 (which is also the first part of the two-hour FRINGE series finale event) is quite the doozy.
So what will the penultimate episode be called?
FRINGE: J.H. Wyman Explains How He’s Going to Bring Fans Into the Filming of the Series Finale

The end of FRINGE is (nearly) here.
Over the weekend, the cast and crew of FRINGE celebrated the end of the series — and the milestone 100th episode — before production started on episode 13 (“An Enemy of Fate”) today.
And while the end of the era is certainly bittersweet, FRINGE showrunner (and writer/director of the episode) J.H. Wyman has plans to keep fans in the loop through the production of the series finale.
Take a look at what Wyman will be doing over the next few weeks…
