Fringe - Season 2

[Rappy Veteran]

There's no Leonard Nimoy in the first episode of season two, sadly. But he's already filmed one episode for season two, and will be back after that as well. [The TV Addict]

In episode 2x06, "Earthling," we meet Timur Vasiliev, who's wanted in Russia for stealing his brother and bringing him to the U.S. Timur feared the government was experimenting on his brother, so he spirited him away to Russia, where he's been in hiding the past five years. [SpoilerTV]

Co-creators Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman say the dynamic will shift a bit in season two: Peter will be taking charge more, while Walter will have more freedom than, perhaps, he ought to have. Explains Kurtzman:

Last year, it was very much about Peter finding himself blackmailed into the position he was in, of having to be his father's caretaker. He was always faced with the possibility of running. What was interesting to us was that he was a character who could bail on everyone else, at any second. I think a lot of what happened, towards the end of last season, and what we see at the beginning of this season, is leading to his commitment to say, "I'm the guy. If we're going to do this, we're going to do it my way. I'm taking charge now. If you want me to help in the Fringe division, then you have to go through me to figure out how we're going to get to cases." That's going to be a very different way of approach for the character.

And they claim that in their alternate world, the terrorists hit the White House instead of the WTC on 9/11, and Kennedy's still alive. At first, Olivia will be the only one going over to the alternate world. [IESB]

Jon Cassar, director of episode 2x06, Twittered a picture of his rough storyboards for the episode. What do you think it means? What are all those arrows doing? [TwitPic, thanks to The Booted Lady!]

And here are some set pics from the filming in Vancouver. [Alexei White on Flickr and Jon Yeo on Flickr via SpoilerTV]

[SMELTN]

The middle 2 pics, right under #206 looks like the portal, and someone coming out in the first one, and a bunch of stuff coming out of it in the second drawing below that. The far right looks like someone talking to someone else lying in a hospital bed, and either they lean down to kiss the person, or are getting close to be able to hear them, OR they merge with the person.

Ok, please someone explain to me in more detail. My friend is confusing me to no end on Fringe. I know it's an X-File/Sci-Fi mash up show. But he's telling me all the time now that the MAIN story now is a parallel universe that wants to invade our universe (or at least, the one depicted in the show) for whatever reason.

Huh? So the show is about FBI agents who investigate odd things, but the entire storyline is about an invasion or some sort of attack from another parallel universe, for no reason yet uncovered?

[SMELTN]

Basically people believe there is a parallel universe, they create a machine to find out if it is true, it is, some people go to that universe. Of course with everything powerful, it falls into the wrong hands, and the baddies find out about it, and things get crazy..

But normally the show has been pretty much just like X-Files.. Each week this FBI team "like X-Files" investigates these crazy events that happen.. The main focus right now though is this parallel universe..

[LOC Veteran]

So there's no invasion thingie then? Cuz my friend is driving me nuts saying that's why I should watch it, since I love those sorts of scifi things. lol

[d_ralphie]

I'm really trying to get into this show, and it has potential. But it isn't quite as good as Lost...

[Rappy Veteran]

But they got Spock.

True they do have Spock also the english guy in a wheelchair from resident evil apocalypse

Curious about Fringe's alternate universe? At the Television Critics Association press tour, critics received copies of the other universe's newspaper. Among the tidbits included: the Obamas are said to be moving into the new White House; John F. Kennedy is alive, well, and active in politics; weather manipulation technology is currently in use; the stock market has been closed for 21 days; the Beatles are all still alive and headed out for a reunion tour; New Orleans may host the 2016 Summer Olympics (thank you, weather manipulation); glow-in-the-dark pets are commercially available; Guns 'N' Roses released the album Chinese Democracy in 2000; Dwayne Johnson is starring in a stage version of Terminator; and Arnold Schwarzenegger is involved in US politics, but as a senator.

How is Fringe going to explain the disappearance of Kirk Acevedo's Charlie? ? Annab>

MICKEY: Reports of Acevedo's exit from the show may have been premature. In fact, Agent Francis plays a pretty big role in the thrilling season premiere, in which one main character dies, two kiss and another faces medical uncertainty.

In the season premiere, one main character dies, two kiss, and another faces medical uncertainty. (Olivia, I'm guessing, is the medically uncertain one.) Somehow, in spite of that "main character dies" thing, we're not supposed to count Charlie out just yet, because he plays a big role in the episode. But they didn't say anything about Charlie playing a big role after that episode. [TV Guide]

What happens in the first scene of season two? This promo teases but doesn't really answer. [Fringe Television]

There are sooo many good shows coming out in the next couple of months, and this is near the top of my to-watch list. Wonder how much of Mr. Nimoy we'll see this season?
