I wasn’t expecting much from the Fringe panel at Comic-Con yesterday, but it ended up being one of the most hilarious panels at the show thanks to the antics of John Noble and the rest of the cast. Writers Roberto Orci, Alex Kurtzmann, and Jeff Pinkner also joined in on the fun. They didn’t show any new fotage, but there were a few interesting tidbits of info for Fringe fans.

Note: Spoilers for Fringe Season 2 after the break!

* We will see the rest of the conversation that Olivia has with William Bell at some point in the new season premiere. It may not start there, though.

* “When we first met Olivia, she was just a really hot FBI agent,” Anna Torva said of her character. It sounds like she was well aware how boring Olivia was at the beginning of the series, and she’s very glad to see Olivia developing a personality as well as realizing how she fits into the grand scope of things.

* They chose to put William Bell’s office in the Twin Towers because it was one of the easiest ways to symbolize that we were in a completely different reality. They did mention that one of the headlines mentioned “President Obama moving into new White House”, implying that it was destroyed by terrorist attack instead. It’s not necessarily a better reality, just a different one.

* Jasika Nicole, who plays Astrid, was adored by the crowd. She mentioned that one of her favorite scenes of last season was where a monster was impregnating people, and they had to do multiple takes while one actor was covered with mealworms in a body bag.

* In the first season they were reactive to the mysteries of their world, this season will be far more proactive since they have a better sense of what’s going on.

* Joshua Jackson mentioned that he doesn’t really know his own father, which may bring a bit of authenticity to his role as he’s trying to repair his strained relationship wth Walter. John Noble was definitely like a father figure to everyone on the cast.

* Nimoy will be on the show as much as he can.

* There will be some plot lines related to the characters meeting their alternate personalities. In particular, they do want Walter to meet his alternate at some point. I’d imagine he’d be somewhat ****ed since our Walter basically kidnapped alternate Walter’s son.

    • I am not a fan of haptic feedback touchpads. I've owned a Surface Laptop 7 (Snapdragon) with one and a Lenovo Slim (Intel), and I hated both to the point where I purchased different laptops. It's not that they don't work most of the time; it's that they don't work 100% of the time, and there is no advantage from a user's perspective over a good mechanical trackpad like what's on a ThinkPad X1 or a Yoga 9i. I do not believe that I'll buy another haptic feedback touchpad laptop again in the near future.
    • Works fine here too. About this build, I don't like to download any kind of Windows, from any site except Microsoft. The mod might work, but I don't know what it's inside. Can contain malware, backdoors... Long time ago I've used something like this but reversed - it was 98se with the look and some functionality  of XP. Or, later XP with Vista look. But I made it myself. Not downloaded from obscure sites.
    • Rockstar gives last-gen GTA V players free upgrades tomorrow by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Rockstar is preparing to launch Grand Theft Auto VI later this year, but ahead of that, the company has revealed a new offer for some Grand Theft Auto V owners. It today announced that Xbox One and PlayStation 4 version owners of the 2013-released title will soon be receiving a free upgrade to the current generation version. The studio released the Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 version of Grand Theft Auto V back in 2022, bringing significant upgrades to the original console editions. This included 60 FPS gameplay at up to 4K resolution, as well as major upgrades to textures, draw distance, and audio. Faster load times, ray tracing elements, and HDR support were also added with it. While this new and enhanced version needed a new purchase of the game to jump in, now Rockstar has decided to make it a free upgrade, dropping the $40 price tag entirely on consoles. "Beginning tomorrow, those who own any PS4 version or the digital Xbox One version of Grand Theft Auto V will be able to upgrade to the PS5 or Xbox Series X|S versions at no additional cost, and experience the best versions of GTA V and GTA Online," said the company in an official blog post. The free upgrade offer will be released tomorrow, June 18, for all Xbox One and PlayStation 4 owners of Grand Theft Auto V. Players who will be jumping in on the offer will want to check how to migrate their GTA Online profile from last-generation to current-generation consoles by heading over here. The offer lands ahead of The Kortz Center Heist hitting Grand Theft Auto Online, where players and crews will be tasked with stealing priceless international art from a prestigious gallery in Pacific Bluffs. It doesn't look like Rockstar plans to stop updating its previous game even with Grand Theft Auto VI being on the horizon. The latest title is slated to launch on November 19, 2026, across Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5.
