I'm watching it. I love it. Can't wait to see what comes next for Olivia and her newly revealed recruitment status.

I'm caught up now except for this week's. It's been pretty good. But now I read it's going on another 7 week hiatus? I don't think there are going to be new episodes until April. :mellow: I'm not really sold on JJ either, or MV for that matter, but MV is gone anyway. Torv's best foil so far has been John Noble. :lol:

I've also been reading that some shows which have been taping in NYC, including Fringe, are going to be re-locating because the tax break they've been getting isn't there anymore. I wonder if that's the reason behind this new hiatus and the one for Ugly Betty.

The last episode was really good, with Olivia being "recruited" and having to do those test. Did she really turn off the lights with her mind or did Jones set the timer to stop...hmm....

So Walter was the one who wrote that ZFT manuscript? Again...hmmm.....

The episode with the porcupine monster on the plane was really cool. My jaw dropped when it burst out of the bathroom. LOL Too bad we didn't see more of the porcupine monster in action.

Last week's episode was really good with the little bald boy........who has a connection to The Observer? That was cool ending!

Speaking of The Observer, check this out! Pretty cool marketing by FOX.

'Fringe' element haunts Fox shows

'Observer' spotted at games, in 'Idol' audience

By MICHAEL SCHNEIDER

The expressionless man -- who looks like a Blue Man Group star, without the paint -- has been spotted in the audience of "American Idol," on the sidelines at an NFL divisional playoff game, a Yankees game and a NASCAR race -- all live events broadcast on the network.

"Fringe" fans have quickly identified the man as the Observer, an enigmatic character who plays a part in the show's mythology.

He's never identified, and the sports announcers or "Idol" stars never acknowledge his presence onscreen. And that's the point, as Fox continues to roll out a mysterious viral marketing campaign meant to equal the character's shadowy ways.

Fox wouldn't comment on the campaign -- likely hoping to keep an air of ambiguity to it all. But internally, staffers have taken to calling it the "Where's Baldo?" initiative.

"Fringe" fans have also taken to posting the Observer's appearances on YouTube -- and Fox has not-so-mysteriously looked the other way.

Michael Cerveris, the actor who plays the Observer, will continue to show up in character at various televised events in the coming weeks.

Ha! :lol: Felicia D. Henderson is now a part of Fringe staff! I so knew it a bigger show would snatch her! Buh-bye, Gossip Girl!

Any info on this whole Akiva Goldsman appearance?

She's gone. Her last credited episode was 1.12. I was surprised when I saw her on the Fringe staff because of the jump from Gossip Girl to a show like Fringe.

No idea.

He wrote and directed the last episode (1.17). It was okay......wasn't that interesting.

Yeah. I saw it. He is probably a fan so his agent arranged a guest stint or something and, of course, why would J. J. Abrams have anything against a top Hollywood screenwriter penning an episode or two? I don't really like his work in film, but he is OK. He'll soon be busy adapting Dan Brown's The Lost Symbol.

Fox has renewed J.J. Abrams' thriller "Fringe" for a full 22-episode second season.

"'Fringe' proved to be a notable addition to our schedule all season, and it really has fans buzzing as it builds to a fantastic season finale," said Kevin Reilly, president of entertainment at Fox. "J.J. and the whole Bad Robot team have been phenomenal partners, and we look forward to years of making great television with them."

Says series co-creator and executive producer Abrams: "'Fringe' continues to gain momentum, creatively and with viewers. We couldn't be more thrilled that 'Fringe' will continue to freak people out for at least another season!"

Helped by a strong lead-in from "House" in the fall and "American Idol" during the spring, "Fringe" is the No. 1 rated new series among the adult demo.

The finale should be good. Looking forward to Leonard Nimoy as William Bell. Cool that we got to hear his voice a couple of episodes ago on Walter's old tape with Olive/Olivia. And that bit with Clint Howard in the last show was too funny, all the Star Trek references, what with Nimoy coming on...and casting Howard, one of the most familiar Trek guest stars ever. :P

Joshua Jackson is reminding me of Sigourney Weaver in "Galaxy Quest", where they spoofed her character as having no purpose, other than being basically a middleman.

OMG! What a season finale! I was really shocked when the camera zoomed out to reveal that William Bell's office was in one of the Twin Towers! :o The other jaw dropping moment was the revelation that Peter died in 1985 when he was only 7! So if Peter is dead, that means Walter went to the alternative universe and brought him back to "our" universe - that's crazy!!

Season 1 finales and cliffhangers on a JJ Abrams show are always fantastic!

Here's Jeff Pinkner talking about the cliffhanger:

Yes indeed, but what a neat way to bring on Mr. Spock Leonard Nimoy William Bell by having Olivia beamed back, or over. Priceless

The other jaw dropping moment was the revelation that Peter died in 1985 when he was only 7! So if Peter is dead, that means Walter went to the alternative universe and brought him back to "our" universe - that's crazy!!

But, soooo Walter, don't you think?? I really felt sorry for him standing there especially since he was so elated when Peter's remembrance of Saturday morning pancakes jogged his memory.

Wow, great finale!

I was shocked by the grave. When Walter was talking about going over to the other universe to bring back something that he had lost, I thought he was talking about Peter's mother...that she had died and he tried to bring the back the other one. So Peter is an alternate.

So....if Olivia and Bell are in the alternate universe, where are their alternates? Dead? Did that car crash that almost killed Olivia happen in the alternate universe and actually kill alternate Olivia? Maybe they killed alternate-Olivia deliberately to bring Olivia over.

I hope next season's opener spends some time in the alternate universe...just to see what differences there are, what the characters are doing...how alternate Peter's disappearance when Walter took him happened. Maybe alternate-Walter is perfectly sane and mad as hell!

She's gone. Her last credited episode was 1.12. I was surprised when I saw her on the Fringe staff because of the jump from Gossip Girl to a show like Fringe.

Television writer and producer Felicia D. Henderson has left sci-fi show Fringe to write for the Teen Titans comic book.

Henderson, who has also worked on Soul Food and Gossip Girl, makes her debut in comics with the super-sized, 40-page Teen Titans issue 75 published by DC Comics on September 30.

The junior crimefighting team have had numerous members over the years. The cover for issue 75 (pictured) features a line-up with Wonder Girl, Blue Beetle, Bombshell, Static, Miss Martian and Aquagirl.

She told Comic Book Resources: "In the first arc some characters will come, other characters will go, a villain will go on a terror that will wreak havoc on our team.

"What I love about the characters has as much to do with them as pieces of a whole as it does about them individually. In other words, each of them represents an opportunity to tell great stories by exploiting the complimentary attributes of each,»
