Yesterday, the marvelous Mr. Leonard Nimoy spent part of his afternoon with a group of reporters to talk about his role in tonight’s episode of Fringe. But since he couldn’t reveal too many details about the mysterious William Bell, we got him to talk about other things like the state of science fiction on TV, the difference in TV production from Star Trek to now and his love of photography.
As someone who’s watched Star Trek most of her life, it was a real thrill to talk with an actor whose voice carries so many memories. He was warm and thoughtful …read more

For once, I got it right. For the first time since I began watching Fringe, I figured out the twist before it happened. I owe myself a cookie — a really big one with lots of chocolate chips — because normally I walk away from Fringe more confused than not. But not this time. Let’s talk about Peter and Walter.
For weeks now, the writers have been leaving us clues about Peter’s past. We had Walter referencing Peter’s serious illness and allusions to experiments that were conducted on the boy. But more telling were all the times that Peter insisted Walter …read more

I can hardly stand it! Yet another one of my favorite shows is coming to an end. At least for Fringe, we know this won’t be the last we’ll see of Olivia, Walter, Peter and the gang.

There were so many great people there that we have to show you them in stages – kinda like the old-fashioned rockets we used to take to the moon.
Let’s begin …read more

He’s often talked about but never seen — he’s the mysterious and infamous William Bell, the man behind Massive Dynamics which is such a big part of the Fringe mythology. With the finale quickly approaching, it’s time for Bell to step out of the shadows and it sounds like he’ll have a familiar face.
