Tomorrow We Build a Better World

Photobucket

As all fans know, tomorrow is the season finale of Fringe. We helped save the show through Twitter and GetGlue by convincing Fox they needed to give it the ending it deserves with one more season. Now we have to show them our gratitude by being as active as we were before and trying to get more people to watch. Even if the show is ending soon, it's a story that will stand the test of time and should be loved by everyone. I often wonder how many people will be kicking themselves for not having watched when Fringe was on and desperately needed a larger audience. I hope some people I know will be among them.

In a lovely tribute, NikolaiOfTardis remade the Fringe opening with Fringenuity hashtags.


The puppet master, William Bell, is of course my icon for this final Fringenuity event of the season. I'm not sure which of these two I'm going to use, though. I would love to use the Bishop/Bell one, but I liked these the best.

Darkest Before Dawn

Time again for the Fringenuity campaign. After tonight's "Brave New World, Part 1" there is only one episode left to show our support and get others interested in Fringe. It's been a tough fight. There will be only 13 episodes in its final season next fall, so this summer is the time to get someone who's been putting it off obsessed with Fringe. Fill up that mysterious hole in their life. Let them know what they've been missing.

Fringe Renewed for 13 More Episodes

Hug TimeScreenshot property of Fox and is hosted at FringeFiles.


Hey, Fringe fans, hugs all around. If you were living under a rock or were asleep and somehow this is the first site you see today, Fringe has been renewed! Yay! For 13 episodes... Give me a minute. Gotta sop up the tears now.

Well, it's been a long, hard fight and we knew it wasn't going to last, even though so many far less deserving series continue to skate by. But that happens on every channel and that's how it will always be. At least Fox listened to their viewers and are giving the writers the time they need to properly end the show, which will probably be in simultaneously the most heartbreaking and most heartwarming of ways. If there's one thing they know how to do it's make us cry, gasp, and "aww" all in the shortest of timespans.

I will miss you Fringe and your gifted cast, who came to feel like family to their viewers but must truly feel close to each other having been privileged to work on such a magnificent program. Wait, why get all down about it now? Fall is quite a ways away. I'll pick this up again later. For now I'll reflect silently on everything the show has meant to me over these four too-short years...and maybe loudly shout at all those who refused to give it a chance. I personally know two of them. I'm comin' for ya, brothas*.


Remember to stop by Fringenuity and thank them for their ingenuity in the face of impending cancellation. They organized the rabid fandom into a laser-focused force that made Fox sit up and take notice.
*No, I'm not getting my Abrams shows mixed up. It's just that Henry Ian Cusick was in the last episode, "Letters of Transit."

Worlds Apart and Yet So Close

Worlds Apart Banner


It's time for Fringenuity campaign number I-don't-know, and there are only three episodes left this season. If you don't help it trend on Twitter then this could be its final season. Get on the ball starting at 8pm EST on Friday. Even if you're not watching live at least send a few generic but hopefully interesting or insightful tweets with the hashtag #WorldsApart, like "Fringe is #WorldsApart from so much of the mediocrity out there." Don't think you can't change things. Fox has been listening. We are so close to renewal and need every fan to participate.

Update: Yesterday, the day after I wrote this, Fringe was officially renewed. That doesn't let us off the hook for showing our support, though. It just means that the weight is finally lifted from our shoulders.










If you don't watch Fringe then here are two reasons to that I haven't used before: one funny, one sad, and both expertly done as usual. If you don't like spoilers then don't press play. Go to Netflix and start at the beginning. You won't regret it.

Fight the Future to Save a Wonderful Show

Photobucket

Calling all Fringe fans, April 20th is the Nineteenth episode of this season, "Letters of Transit." These final four episodes are more important than all before, because the coming weeks are the last-ditch effort to convince Fox to renew. Join us on GetGlue and Twitter to #FightTheFuture and prove that you think the show and its lovely actors, writers, and the rest of the Fringe family deserve the chance to continue making this brilliant and captivating series.


If you haven't done this before, here are some examples of my previous tweets. For more information and icon packs go to Fringenuity.







If you're not a fan, but may have eventually watched, you don't want to start something that was left unfinished. Episodes aren't unrelated incidents, like any CSI. Fringe's cases are intertwined with an ongoing, layered, and beautifully-executed story, so it has to finish in its own time. Help #FightTheFuture by coming up with a few simple tweets you can share starting at 8PM EST even if you're not watching. The more live tweeting the better.

Fringe's Brave New World

Northwest Passage 3

Recently the name of Fringe's finale changed from "End Game" to "Brave New World," which reminds me of the end of season two. Does this mean they seem more optimistic about renewal? Maybe the finale, instead of being a true ending (all problems are resolved and everything is in its right place), leaves an opening for a fifth season. Weeks ago the writers said they had time to wrap up the show if Fox and Warner came to an agreement soon. Now there are only four episodes to go, so there is no longer that opportunity. There won't be a decision until May, a fact mentioned in this article. What is never in doubt, though, is it'll be a finale that is definitive so we're not left with a cliffhanger, but one that finds a crack for season 5 to shine through if renewal is granted.

While waiting for the end to come, help us to convince Fox to renew Fringe by participating in this week's Fringe Twitter and GetGlue event for "Letters of Transit." Use the hashtag #FightTheFuture during the show.
