The Fringe Panel opened with what appeared to be an ordinary ol’ boring sizzle reel. Events from the previous season played out across the screen: the battle between two universes, Olivia trapped on the “other side”, Broyles barking out orders, Walter attempting to save the day, Astrid assisting… all the characters given a moment or two (Lincoln Lee, Nina Sharp, Charlie Francis) everyone except the male lead of the show. Peter Bishop was nowhere to be found. His de-existence branching out to the very marketing of the show. What happened to Peter? How will he be brought back into existence (i.e. on the show)? Can he be? For the answers to these questions, hit the jump.
After almost giving up on JJ Abrams’ Fringe after a borderline-mundane first season, I sat down with season two of the series to see if it had improved. There wasn’t anything wrong with season one, per se, it just didn’t make me feel like I was missing out on much when I didn’t bother DVR’ing season two. I’m happy to report, then, that not only does Fringe improve in season two, it nearly becomes a completely different show. Full review’s after the jump, folks.

If you’re a fan of Fringe, you’ll be happy to know Fox has picked it up for a third season. EW is reporting the news and I can confirm it. While the show doesn’t get huge numbers on Thursday nights (about 7.6 million viewers), it’s an extremely competitive night on TV and the show has managed to hold its own. Also, it does well in the all-important 18-49 demographic and when you factor in DVR numbers.
As a big fan of the show, I’m glad it’s coming back. I’m also happy for the early renewal as it gives executive producers Jeff Pinkner, J.H. Wyman, Bryan Burk and J.J. Abrams time to write a great season finale. Fringe also stars Anna Torv (Olivia Dunham), Joshua Jackson (Peter Bishop), John Noble (Walter Bishop), Lance Reddick (Phillip Broyles) and Jasika Nicole (Astrid Farnsworth).

A dashing eccentric man with swagger and charm. A buttoned-down female agent. Sound familiar? Let’s face it, it’s a formula that works in science fiction television and Fringe employs it wonderfully. But can this series fill the void left in our hearts from our long-departed X-Files? In a word: yes. More after the jump.
Warner Home Video has just announced the DVD/Blu-ray info on “Fringe: The Complete First Season”. While we rarely post DVD cover art and info anymore, since this was one of my favorite shows of last season, I’m going to give it some love.
Remember that one season of “The X-Files” that was really great…that’s “Fringe” every week. While the pilot was mediocre, every subsequent episode got better and better and the show ended with a fantastic finale. All I can say is…I really recommend giving “Fringe” a chance.
So if I’ve peaked your interest, after the jump is all the info on the DVD and Blu-ray plus cover art. Take a look.
