I read this had some stuff I like so I'm planning to see it.

I've only seen the first two episodes and it struck me as cold and distant.

[Jason LeBlanc]

The show took a while to get going in its first season. Once the mythology started to develop at the end of the first season and throughout the second it got really good.

For a while in season 1 its just a monster of the week type show. Once you get past those you're in for a nice surprise

[Thor]

I love this show, although - like ALL tv shows - it takes some episodes to "get". Unlike others here, though, I appreciate both the more independent "monster of the week" episodes in the first two seasons, as well as the more mythology-driven focus in recent times.

And I'm a HUGE John Noble fan! Loved him in LOTR, love him here. How he shifts between Walter and Walternate is nothing short of brilliant.

[Taikomochi]

And the whole William Bell/Soul Magnets storyline wasn't used to its full extent.

Exactly! It was like they got Nimoy to come back, but then he decided he didn't feel like it, so they just wrapped it all up with him doing his voice overs by phone. It had no impact on the story.

...it stroke me...

Awwww yeahhhhh.

[Chaac]

...it stroke me...

Awwww yeahhhhh.

Ouch.

[Docteur Qui]

Well that was a way to end the season. Great episode, it made up for all of the small blunders along this seasons' path. Had to laugh about how the time travel aspect was presented. I'm too used to Doctor Who's time fuckery to take it seriously anymore.

Really looking forward to seeing where they go with this!

[rpvee]

HUGE Fringe fan here!!! Last night's episode absolutely blew my mind.

[Wycket]

Agreed.

The season lost me a bit with the whole Peter/Olivia stuff, but the finale really made up for it. Presumably the group is separate now just like last season which is an interesting direction to take. Hopefully we get to learn more about the Observers next season as well as whoever was in the blimp in the animation episode.

[Jason LeBlanc]

Oh yea, I almost forgot about the animation episode! It was like at the same time both a brilliant and stupid way to get around Nimoy being willing to provide his voice but not actually act in the show. Oh man, what a crazy episode.

Season 4 preview!

[nightscape94]

No one commenting on the new season? I was searching for the general TV Show thread discussion (I though there was one) and saw this thread.

So far I like it, but I'm hoping they don't drag out the missing Peter Bishop plot point out. I really hope if this show goes on for a couple more seasons that they pull away from the alternate universe mythology.

[Jason LeBlanc]

I have only seen the first 2 episodes - haven't seen last night's yet - but I like the new season so far. I agree I hope they don't grab out this Peter-less world too long, and want them to get back to the main universe soon. But it's kind of a good way for new viewers to be introduced to everything, so that's cool. Glad they added Lincoln to the cast full time.

And I absolutely love the two different Olivias! The actress has perfectly nailed subtle ways to act for each so you always know which is which. I love any scenes where they are both together too.

[Marian Schedenig]

How so? For the first half of the first season, I didn't find the show to be more than mildly entertaining. Until all the stuff kicked in that eventually led to the parallel universe reveal. Take that away and you rip out the core of the show.

I'd like to see Peter back, but as long as they can be constructive with his absence, I say go with it. Abrams shows have a tradition of completely changing direction once or twice per season anyway.

And I absolutely love the two different Olivias! The actress has perfectly nailed subtle ways to act for each so you always know which is which. I love any scenes where they are both together too.

Oh yes. With the "regular" Olivia being so... dry, I didn't realise what an excellent actress Torv is until suddenly Fauxlivia came in and her acting range suddenly exploded.

[Jason LeBlanc]

Fauxlivia

[Marian Schedenig]

It's not an official term yet? I thought it was.

[Jason LeBlanc]

Official or not, still made me laugh

[Goldsmithfan]

Who's excited for "Enemy of My Enemy" tonight? I loved last week's episode and I love the Jones character. Can't wait!

FRINGE
Season 3

Original Television Soundtrack

Music Composed by
CHRIS TILTON

Immersive. Compelling. Hypnotic. Brilliantly imaginative. Endlessly thrilling. Pick your term. The mystery of the universes deepens in the critically acclaimed 22-episode third season of FRINGE, television’s most exciting sci-fi. The Fringe team escapes from the parallel universe — except for Olivia, trapped in the other world and replaced in ours by her double, who turns Peter and Olivia’s tentative relationship into a love affair. Then Olivia returns, bonds of trust fray, ever more bizarre and terrifying phenomena occur and secrets that stretch back to 1985 threaten to destroy our universe. Or theirs.

“Fringe continues its hot streak known as Season 3. It’s been firing on all cylinders all season.” (Andrew Hanson, LATimes.com)

Chris Tilton is back with his most emotional and involved score yet.

FRINGE Season 3 is available now on Warner Home Video, while Season 4 is currently running on Fox.

Fringe: Season 5 trailer shown at comic con



Cool!

[Jason LeBlanc]

No one else is excited for the final season? Looks like they've already got a bunch of it filmed based on that trailer.

I dislike that they introduced time travel into the show (why must every sci fi propery eventually do so?), but the present day storylines in season 4 were top notch. And I don't mind them being frozen and woken up in the future, i just wish the observers didn't use time travel to change the shape of the world

[Marian Schedenig]

Definitely excited. As expected, the "future timeline" episode of S4 seems to have been the setup for the final season.

[Jason LeBlanc]

I'm surprised they didn't move that episode to the end and have it be the season finale instead of randomly showing it towards the end, with the episodes airing after it having nothing to do with it

[nightscape94]

From what I understand, that episode was more or less their pitch to Fox to get the show picked up for the final 13 episodes, so they inserted it toward the end of season 4 to see how it did, and if there was any interest. So although it seemed random and out of place, it was necessary to their hopes of a 5th season. I guess it worked.

[Jason LeBlanc]

Right, I'm not saying I'm surprised they made it, I'm saying I'm surprised they aired it randomly instead of as the season finale. Either way it would have had the same effect

[nightscape94]

I totally watched the Finge Comic-Con panel on YouTube too. My nerdiness knows no bounds.

[Jason LeBlanc]

Did you watch Alcatraz? It was pretty good too, with incredible scoring

[Wycket]

Agreed. It found too long to find its footing but could have been really interesting. Probably would have worked better on the BBC, where they could have set it up as being laid out over a few seasons.

[Marian Schedenig]

Right, I'm not saying I'm surprised they made it, I'm saying I'm surprised they aired it randomly instead of as the season finale. Either way it would have had the same effect

The final season got approved before the finale aired. So I guess they did it the right way.

Did you watch Alcatraz? It was pretty good too, with incredible scoring

Alcatraz had two major problems: A story that was really out there (as far as believability and clear reasoning go), and it had very flat characters due to that fact that each episode was focused on a new "plot character" and they never showed anything about the private lives of the few regulars. As a result, the plot problems only became more obvious. I like the potential of the premise, and most of the casting, but I'm not at all surprised they cancelled it.

Scoring was very good though. Better than Fringe.

[Jason LeBlanc]

Yup! Amazing score, the best of the TV season. Its a shame Mr. Tilton forgot to submit himself for Emmy nomination!!

[Marian Schedenig]

I thought Alcatraz was Giacchino himself? But things are getting confusing there, he's still the composer getting main title credit in Fringe as well, after all...

With all the Twitter complaints about John Noble not being nominated for an Emmy, I have an even bigger acting award complaint: No nomination for Anna Torv!?

[Jason LeBlanc]

Michael Giacchino scored the Alcatraz pilot; All other episodes were scored by Chris Tilton and Andrea Datzman.

I agree, Anna Torv's proved herself to be quite a talented actor as the show has gone on!

I used to think of her as a merely adequate actress, until

Fauxlivia came along

and I was suddenly seriously impressed with her range. Seth Gabel is excellent, too.

Season 4

Music Composed by
CHRIS TILTON


FRINGE — the supernatural sci-fi crime drama from J.J. Abrams — is back with a fourth spellbinding season. After sacrificing himself to save both worlds, Peter (Joshua Jackson) mysteriously returns to ours. But he has been forgotten — by Olivia (Anna Torv), by Walter (John Noble), by everyone. It’s as if he never existed. At the same time, shapeshifters controlled by an unknown master begin an onslaught of destruction, and now the two former enemy universes must cooperate to defy a common foe. FRINGE’s thrilling fourth season continues the inspired series’ synthesis of astounding phenomena, baffling secrets and dramatic, character-driven stories. And in this season, events may prove that the most powerful force in our universe — or theirs — is not a doomsday device, not a paranormal force, but human love.

Chris Tilton returns ramping up his music’s drama and action as the FRINGE saga races toward its final season, which will premiere this fall on Fox on September 28.

Warner Home Video will release Season 4 of FRINGE on September 4.
