Last weekend I attended the Los Angeles press junket for “Star Trekâ€. Starting today, I will be posting a ton of video and print interviews from the junket. Get ready.
But before getting to all the “Star Trek†stuff, I wanted to post what Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman said about their show “Fringeâ€. Also, because I got so much time with these guys, I wanted to break it all up so it would be easier to watch.
So like I said when I posted what Leonard Nimoy told me about his character on “Fringeâ€â€¦.
If you’re not watching “Fringe†on Tuesday night’s on Fox, you’re missing out on one of TV’s best shows. Since the first episode, the show has gotten better and better.
While I hate comparing a show to another…remember when “The X-Files†was on and everyone thought it was so amazing, “Fringe†blows it out of the water. Unlike “The X-Filesâ€, which took weeks away from answering mythology questions, “Fringe†is able to wrap each week’s episode with new and original storylines that tie the greater mysteries together. Again, it’s a show you should really watch.
So when I finally started talking to Roberto and Alex about the show, I asked them how the season has been going, if we’re going to be getting a 2nd season, how they felt when “American Idol†ran long and ruined a GREAT ending, and more.
If you’re a fan of “Fringeâ€, you’ll like this interview a lot so take a look:
Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman
· I start off by saying I thought the pilot was only okay, but the show has gotten great. How hard has it been to figure it out as the first season has been going on.
· They talk about trying to find the balance of the show and the mythology
· I bring up the episode that got cut off by American Idol and how the last 30 seconds were the most important part
· What is the status of the 2nd season – is anything known yet
· The interview will fade into another part and in a cut scene I asked their plans for Comic-Con. So after the fade in I ask if the observer will be at Comic-Con
