'Fringe': Peter and Olivia Plan for the Future, Bring Up Baby Talk (Exclusive Video)

'Fringe': Peter and Olivia Plan for the Future, Bring Up Baby Talk (Exclusive Video)
In the first hour of the two-part season finale airing Friday, the couple explore their options.

11:30 AM PDT 5/3/2012 by Philiana Ng

In the first hour of the season four closer, airing Friday, Peter (Josh Jackson) and Olivia (Anna Torv) share a sweet moment in bed, presumably before chaos ensues, in an exclusive scene from "Brave New World: Part 1."
The reunited couple runs down a list of Massachusetts cities (Lexington, Medford among the lucky towns) they could move to and settle down in, but knowing how the Fringe universe operates, that won’t be happening any time soon.

At one point during the early morning conversation, Olivia brings up chatter about a nursery (a baby?!), which surprises Peter. And rightly so. It was several episodes ago that Olivia and Peter weren’t remotely on the same wavelength to even introduce such a topic.

This Week’s TV: Is Leonard Nimoy really coming back to Fringe?

This Week’s TV: Is Leonard Nimoy really coming back to Fringe?

The promo for this week's Fringe hints that a special guest star could help the show live long and prosper... but is it true?

Fringe (9 PM, FOX):

David Robert Jones' final plan kicks into action, and judging from this clip, we may get a teeny bit more Nimoy action:

Walter reluctantly revisits his painful past after terrifying cases of spontaneous human combustion. Meanwhile, the future of both universes is at stake when the Fringe team faces David Robert Jones in the mother of all battles.

I'm guessing it'll be the voice of Nimoy in a recording, or the brain of Nimoy in a computerized shell, or some other way to have Nimoy without requiring him to be physically present. But we'll see!

Fringe
Now that we are for sure getting a fifth (albeit final) season, here’s one face you might see pop up in the show’s forever twisty universe: Robin Williams. TV’s erstwhile Mork, who after a long string of big screen outings has in recent years guested on Law & Order: SVU, Louie and, coming up, Wilfred, says Fox’s sci-fi series is at the top of his list to visit next. “My god, Fringe would be amazing,” he told me at the Comedy Awards, where he was honored as a Stand-Up Icon. (Williams also is high on Homeland, though frankly we can only see his bearded self playing Mandy Patinkin’s twin brother.) In fact, the funny man is game to join a TV series on a full-time basis. “F—in’ A, yeah, I’d do it — if it was fun,” he said.

Fringe’ Spoilers Plus a Renewal Update!

Fringe’ Spoilers Plus a Renewal Update!

by: Kevin Fitzpatrick Yesterday

Since it seems like FOX remains content to make us wait until the end of the universe for news on a renewal for a fifth season of ‘Fringe,’ our efforts are best spent looking toward the current run of episodes. And after the trippy time-travel that was “Letters of Transit,” just what’s going to unfold in the final episodes of ‘Fringe’s fourth season?

Look no further! Amidst a mass of other May Sweeps spoilers of its most popular programs, FOX has doled out telling episode descriptions of the final three ‘Fringe’ episodes of the season! Sadly, none of them seem to hearken back to the admittedly left-field, but ultimately awesome future story glimpsed in last Friday’s “Letters of Transit,” though it looks like Olivia, Astrid, Lincoln, Broyles and the Bishops are moving full steam ahead in their battle to prevent David Robert Jones (‘Mad Men‘s Jared Harris) from collapsing both universes. Check it out below!

From the official FOX description:

“April 27: “Worlds Apart”
The teams on both sides, including Olivia and Peter, continue to fight for a common cause, and there are shocking developments tied to the Cortexiphan children.

May 4: “Brave New World, Part 1 of 2″ (Season Finale, Part 1)
In the first of a thrilling two-part season finale, a mysterious Fringe event causing people to spontaneously combust forces Walter to revisit his painful past, while the Fringe team faces off against David Robert Jones (guest star Jared Harris) to save the world, or worlds.

May 11: “Brave New World, Part 2 of 2″ (Season Finale, Part 2)
In the climactic conclusion of the Season 4 finale, the Fringe team is pushed to their breaking point as they desperately attempt to prevent a catastrophic event that threatens the lives of everyone.

Fringe Takes #19 To Even Greater Extremes Of The Odd And Deeply Disturbing!

Fringe Takes #19 To Even Greater Extremes Of The Odd And Deeply Disturbing!
by Sheldon A. Wiebe on April 19, 2012

The year is 2036 and the Observers have taken over – but there is a resistance. That’s the basic setup for Fringe’s [Fox, Fridays, 10/9C] annual ‘out there’ episode [remember the previous animated, or musical 19th episodes], Letters of Transit [check out the cast teasing the episode above, and follow the jump to my review].

Letters of Transit takes its title from a key element of the film Casablanca – and there actually are similar documents in this strangest episode of Fringe’s fourth season.

The world has been taken over by the Observers, who do not take kindly to those who might wish to resist their rule – but resist, some brave humans do. There is a special police force to deal with ‘native’ actions against the Observers, but a remnant of Fringe division still exists to police ‘native on native’ violence.

A young Fringe agent named Etta [Georgina Haig] and an older agent named Simon Foster [Henry Ian Cusick] seem to be the most effective members of the resistance – and she has discovered something that could turn the tide against the Observers. Unfortunately, time – and some forms of technology – are not on their side.

Oddly enough, there’s not really much more I can say about the events of Letters of Transit without giving up at least a few juicy spoilers – except to say that we see some different versions of Broyles [Lance Reddick] and Nina Sharp [Blair Brown] as well as a more familiar Peter [Joshua Jackson]and Astrid [Jasika Nicole] and yet another version of Walter [John Noble].

All you really need to know, beyond that, is that Letters of Transit is as twisted and out there as previous 19th episodes in the series’ run – and concludes with a revelation that counts as one of the most major in the show’s four season run, to date.

The Latest From Ask Ausiello

2012-04-18T10:45:00.000-04:00

Question: What is the deal with Fringe? They keep dragging out this renewal/cancellation business and it is making me really mad! They need to make a decision. —Brian

Ausiello: I thought for sure today was the day we’d hear something. I’m pretty sure a decision to bring the show back for a fifth and final season has been made, with the two sides just trying to make the numbers work. But I’d be lying if I said the delay isn’t worrisome. In the meantime, we asked John Noble at last week’s opening of the Beverly Hills Paley Center’s “Television: Out of the Box” exhibit if any of the May 11 season finale would take place in the Alt Universe, and he said, “Not in the actual final episode, but you’ll see a lot of it in the one before.” We also presented Josh Jackson with the theory that Olivia being fated to die will tie in with the mysterious Mr. X seen in last year’s animated episode. His response? “That’s a good theory. You’re close, actually. Not all the way there, but you’re close.”

Fringe's Top-Secret, Twisty Episode 19: What Do the First Photos Reveal?
Matt Webb Mitovich

OK, so now there is this.

While the very real future of Fox’s Fringe still hangs in the balance, the network has let slip with a handful of episodic photos from the annually “out there” Episode 19, which this time around is titled “Letters of Transit.”

The title is of course a nod to the (fictional) documents that drive the narrative of the 1942 cinematic classic Casablanca, papers that ostensibly allow a person to travel freely and without question during World War II. And per Fox’s official synopsis, “the story jumps ahead to 2036 when the Observers and the Fringe team engage in a game-changing battle.”

Exclusive: Fringe Stars Talk Finale ('We Shot Two Endings'), Drop Clue About Season 5 Storyline
Matt Webb Mitovich

Fox’s Fringe, which for four years now has traded in dual universes, doppelgängers and shape-shifting body doubles, is fittingly prepping alt versions of its Season 4 finale, as Fox and Warner Bros. TV continue to negotiate the possibility of a Season 5.

“We’ve shot two [endings],” John Noble told TVLine at the opening of the Beverly Hills Paley Center’s “Television: Out of the Box” exhibit, which was created in conjunction with Warner Bros. TV.

Noble says many “big questions” will be answered in the season finale airing May 11 — including the matter of Olivia being fated to die (and whether the animated episode’s “Mr. X” figures into it) and Walter shouldering the burden of responsibility for the warring universes. Viewers also can expect a surprise on the villainy front (David Robert Jones plays “a very big part, but not as big as you think,” Noble teased. “There’s something bigger.”)

But as Joshua Jackson told us Thursday night, “The writers have given themselves a device by which we can tell a fifth-season story without having to leave this season’s story open.”

FRINGE: Lance Reddick Teases Things Come to a Head With Alt-Broyles and David Robert Jones
April 12, 2012 by Marisa Roffman

It’s been months since FRINGE viewers were first clued into the fact that alt-Broyles is working with David Robert Jones, but in the aftermath of alt-Lincoln’s death, things are about to come to a head.

I sat down with Lance Reddick (Broyles) last week on the FRINGE set to talk about what’s to come from him in “The Consultant,” how much he’s known of what his character is up to, and whether fans should be bracing for his alt-persona to meet another tragic end. (And as a minor spoiler alert, he does rule out one possibility of what is going on with alt-Broyles during our interview.)

Fringe Bosses Answer Burning Questions, Including Peter's New Journey

Mar 22, 2012 09:25 PM ET
by Natalie Abrams

The question of whether Peter does indeed need to find his way home — or, as some theories have suggested, he's already there — will finally be answered in this week's episode of Fringe.

With eight episodes remaining before the season finale — and hopefully not the series finale — what will Peter's journey now look like? TVGuide.com turned to executive producer Jeff Pinkner and J.H. Wyman to get the scoop. Plus: The "X" man returns!

Peter (Joshua Jackson) decided to stay away from Olivia (Anna Torv). What will his journey look like now?
Jeff Pinkner: He's ultimately decided to stay away from her in that episode. This next episode, the one that Joel directed, is going to be a very powerful one and a very gratifying one for the 'shippers. The end of that story is by no means written.

Olivia is destined to die in every timeline, as September (Michael Cerveris) said. Will Peter be able to stay away from her? And with the whole death premonition out there, might we finally meet the man with the "X" on his shirt that Olivia thought would someday kill her?
J.H. Wyman: We never like to put anything into the air that we don't readdress. There was a reason why she said that. You'll definitely get an answer to that. As far as Peter goes, what's terrifying is that when somebody tells you everything that happens, you're going to start looking at life in a different way, like you won't cross the street the same way, would you? You'd constantly be looking extra carefully at everything. It's not the first time she's faced this kind of this dilemma.

Could the man with the "X" on his shirt be somebody we've met before?
Wyman: Don't forget, when that happened, which Olivia remembers, it was a very strange episode that took place in William Bell's mind, so it could be somebody who William Bell (Leonard Nimoy) knows or has experience with.
Pinkner: The short answer is: For people who remember that moment fondly or threateningly, it will get paid off.

Olivia is remembering things that Peter didn't even know. So maybe he's not imprinting his own memories on her? Will that be addressed in Friday's episode?
Wyman: It will. That was the thing that was on purpose, when you realized that something didn't make sense. Sometimes you feel you know what's going on, and then all of a sudden it flips and we're trying to make you look at it from a different perspective, but you will definitely get an answer. [Friday's episode] "A Short Story About Love" is definitely a culmination of all the things we've been working towards and it's definitely a must-see because of that. It delivers on promises and even poses a couple of questions you didn't think of. It's definitely one to see for resolution.
Pinkner: People who like scares, people who like intrigue, people who like romance, people who like answers, they're all well-attended in that episode.
Wyman: It definitely has one of the most terrifying bad guys that we've had. As far as our freaks-of-the-week goes, he's definitely the most terrifying.

Fringe ended last season with a disappearing act for Peter. In May's season finale, it's Olivia who'll be getting lost. Well, she'll be getting a visit from a Lost alum, Rebecca Mader, who played Charlotte.

Rebecca's character, Jessica, appears in the last two episodes of the season (or series, depending on whether or not Fox picks it up). Producers are keeping quiet on specifics, but they tell me Jessica is a strong, brave woman involved in a case linked to supervillain David Robert Jones.

‘Fringe’s’ Jeff Pinkner and J.H. Wyman tease two upcoming epic episodes

‘Fringe’s’ Jeff Pinkner and J.H. Wyman tease two upcoming epic episodes
Danielle Turchiano
LA TV Insider Examiner

Fringe finally returns to FOX with an all-new episode this week, and “A Short Story About Love” is bound to be an extremely special one for the fans. Not only is it also directed by showrunner J.H. Wyman-- a rarity for a network series delivering a full season order for the year-- but it is the episode that will provide answers as to whether or not Peter (Joshua Jackson) is in the right universe after all.

When we caught up with Fringe cast and producers at WonderCon right here in Anaheim CA over the weekend, Jeff Pinkner wouldn’t answer which Fringe fan theory was correct about Peter and his idea of “home.” But he did promise that the answer will be revealed and will fit what the show has been saying all along.

“We’ve been saying it all along. The show [has been saying it]-- the show has not been lying,” Pinkner teased.

“The whole series has been about choices and impacts and how you impact others. For us there’s a couple of big things about that [paying off this season],” Wyman added.

“Number one, it just shows us that people really started to care about this Olivia. When we first went over to the other side, it was like ‘Oh, I’m never going to like these people!’ But now they love them. They fell in love with them like how we were in love with them.”

Series star John Noble said he really enjoyed the episode because it deals with the strange concept of being attracted to each other based on pheromones: “This particular event is about someone who uses this fact to create [attraction].” And Noble pointed out that Walter is quite intrigued by such a thing because “he loves smelling things and creating smells and digging around in bodies to find the reasons why.” So needless to say, Walter may be in heaven in the episode.

The Latest From "Ask Ausiello"

2012-03-20T22:54:00.000-04:00

Question: Anything on Fringe? —Jeremy
Ausiello: Just a coy answer from exec producer Jeff Pinkner when we asked him about the casting of Henry Ian Cusick and Georgina Haig as FBI agents — the latter of which has been ID’d in some pap pics as Young Olivia (!). “We were unbelievably fortunate to have them… and they really enjoyed being part of the show,” he says. “But to tell you anything more than that would really be a betrayal to the surprise of seeing the episode.” And as fellow EP J.H. Wyman reminds, the duo appear in this season’s 19th episode, which traditionally deviates from the norm (see 2010′s musical “Brown Betty” or last year’s animated entry), “So half the fun is waiting.” Also factor in this: Joshua Jackson, when asked if he has scenes with Cusick and/or Haig, said, “I do not. For reasons I can’t tell you, I do not.” Pinkner also says that the lingering (frustrating?) question of when or whether Peter will return to his timeline will “very soon” become moot.
