dcghost Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 You can't believe it?!? They announced it/spoiled it weeks ago for starters :D And I believe Nimoy did voiceover work for a couple episodes to lead into his cameo at the end there also :D You shoulda known it was him for awhile!!!!1111 Never noticed any spoilers and if there were any voice overs...i would have never known. It's been way to long since I had seen Star Trek. I would not have even thought of it if I had not watched the movie this last weekend.

I can get Nimoy's voice out of anything, he's so unique and great sounding. He rocks.

Rappy Veteran Posted May 15, 2009 Veteran Share Posted May 15, 2009 Fringe - FOX to shorten the episodes Viewers of the sci-fi series "Fringe" will soon have to watch something even scarier than brains leaking out of people's ears: more commercials.Fox Broadcasting decided this week to discontinue its year-old strategy of regularly airing fewer advertisements, at higher prices, during some TV shows, Fox executives say. "Fringe," one of the series in which the approach was tested, will for the most part air a normal complement of ads beginning next season. Fox is a unit of News Corp., which also owns The Wall Street Journal. The decision comes as Fox and its broadcast-TV rivals gird for broader battles with advertisers over rates in the "upfront" ad-sales marketplace, where broadcast networks traditionally sell about three-quarters of their ad inventory for the coming TV season. In recent weeks, analysts have predicted that the upfront marketplace could shrink 15%, as slack consumer spending encourages advertisers keep a tight hold on their purse-strings. Fox's experiment with airing full seasons of shows with fewer ads, dubbed "Remote-Free TV," was one of the industry's more ambitious attempts to combat ad clutter and keep viewers from zapping through commercials. Some advertisers paid premiums of 40% or more for the spots, according to ad buyers and network executives. But the prices weren't high enough to match what Fox would have made selling more ads at standard prices, says Jon Nesvig, Fox's president of ad sales. "Advertisers liked it," Mr. Nesvig says. "But it doesn't seem to be economically viable in a year where there is the emphasis on price that there seems to be." Still, Fox plans to use the strategy in limited instances, such as for special events or premieres, a network spokeswoman says.

lawtai Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 that kinda stinks. i actually enjoyed the shorter commercial breaks. I actually didn't mind sitting through the 2-3 commercials since i knew that's all there were going to be.

Walter had vcr recording where Bell said few words. its the ep where they showed small olivia in a weird room. as for shorter episodes...damn :( if its 45 mins then its sorta acceptable, but with just 40 mins the show is too short.

SuperJediMedia Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 (edited) No 13th floor is not that unusual:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/13th_floor OT question, but wasn't there a '13th floor' movie that's really really scary and creepy? NOT this http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0139809/ A movie more scary? With ghosts, monsters, killers, or something? Fringe - FOX to shorten the episodes It may be for a good cause, at this point I just want the show to have MORE budget. Well, I hope MORE ads means MORE income/budget for the show. More income/Budget could mean more Action, More FX... means I will be HAPPIER!!! :D Edited May 15, 2009 by JediXAngel Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/613673-fringe-season-one/page/33/#findComment-590995672 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurmoth Posted May 15, 2009 Author Share Posted May 15, 2009 Nah, not that Jim Carrey crap.A REAL Horror/Suspense that have ghosts, monster or killers making Terrors (That has to do with 13th Floor!!) You're not thinking of 1408 by any chance? That's the only thing I can think of that would be close to the 13th Floor. I can't recall any other horror films on the 13th Floor right off hand. But 1408 was horrible IMO. The short story was so much better than the POS film. If that isn't it, I need more detail about the film, like an actors name of something. If it is out there, I'm sure I've seen it, just need more detail to jog my memory.

Crazysah Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 Not sure how this isn't clear or why there's confusion.Peter died when he was 6 or 7 (according to the tombstone), this is what Walter lost in our dimension and him visiting his tombstone indicates that he did find a way to cross over, to do exactly what he said he wanted to do, and that the Peter we see is from the other side. How could the ending be our dimension if the twin towers are standing? Thanks for clearing that up. Anyone have a longer promo for the next season?

Rappy Veteran Posted May 18, 2009 Veteran Share Posted May 18, 2009 Fox announced its schedule on Monday morning as upfronts week kicked off in New York City.The network is holding most of its new offerings until midseason when postseason baseball is out of the way. But the musical "Glee" and two comedies -- the animated "The Cleveland Show" and "Brothers" -- will make their debuts in the fall. The new shows at midseason will be -- as previously reported -- dramas "Human Target" and "Past Life" and "Sons of Tucson," a comedy. Other news from the release, both explicit and implicit: -- "Lie to Me" will get the post-"House" boost on Monday nights, while "Fringe" moves to Thursdays, where it will follow "Bones." -- "So You Think You Can Dance," which has its Season 5 premiere Thursday, will have its first shot at a regular-season berth this fall. On the conference call, Fox Entertainment President Kevin Reilly said that he thinks "So You Think You Can Dance" will bring more women to the network and be a good companion for "Glee." -- As we previously reported, the low-rated Joss Whedon show "Dollhouse" has been renewed for its second season in its same Friday time slot. "This is a bet on Joss Whedon," Reilly said. -- The resilient "Til Death" will return again despite never really finding an audience. -- Goners: "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles," "Sit Down, Shut Up," "Do Not Disturb."
