The Fringe Universe Expands: The Measure of a Cult Show

more than one of everything Posted on by

 “To be a fully sanctioned cult show, the life of a programme must continue through its fans after its death.” – Alex Geairns “The community of the show is currently strong and vibrant and I have a funny feeling that the afterlife of the show, as much as we who have been making it for the last five years are finishing our portion of it, I think it will live on in that community.” “And how that manifests itself? I don’t know. Perhaps there would be a movie. I think there will probably be a lot of fan fiction. Maybe … Continue reading →

Fringe Finale January 18, 2013: The End of a Journey, but We # KeepLookingUp

more than one of everything Posted on by

I’ve been avoiding this for as long as possible. It is bittersweet to be announcing the final Twitter event  for Fringe. So much happened here. You guys seriously rock. It feels like saying goodbye to treasured comrades after the war is over. Oh sure, there will be reunions and other things to celebrate, but it will never be the same as living through these times as a fan. Our lives will go on and more serious battles will need to be overcome. My challenge to all of you, and my dearest wish, is for everyone to take what we have … Continue reading →

Fringe Twitter Event January 11, 2013: Series Finale Arc Begins, but We’ll # NeverLetGo

more than one of everything Posted on by

It’s hard to think that this time last year, we weren’t even sure that Fringe would have a fifth season; the odds were definitely not in its favor. So, we decided to #CrossTheLine, and the social media impact of fans was one of the weights which tipped the scales for a final season. As we head into the finale, I’d like to make a sincere plea for fans to be careful about spilling major spoilers online — in public places where other fans can see them. Posting a spoiler tag is not enough. Please consider not posting them at all. … Continue reading →

#Fringe Twitter Event 12/21/12: It May Not Be the Mayan Apocalypse, but it’s # FarFromNormal

more than one of everything Posted on by

Friday was a very emotional day for Fringe fans, on many levels. Cast and crew had worked all through Thursday night and well into Friday morning in order to complete the show’s final scenes. Finally, that bittersweet moment arrived: #Fringe the final slate. twitter.com/BrentCrowell/s… — Brent Crowell (@BrentCrowell) December 14, 2012   After 4.5 seasons, Fringe reached a planned conclusion, and we–the fans–have precious few new episodes left. Science fiction history will note many things about Fringe, and our fandom will have a small page in that history. On a larger scale, we were really pioneers. Today, Nielsen announced that … Continue reading →

Finding the Crack

more than one of everything Posted on by

“In the darkness, there’s always a crack. It’s how the light gets in.” Today has been the darkest of days. The monstrosity we’ve witnessed has left us stunned, grasping to process the unprocessable slaughter of young children. We are heartbroken, seething with rage and grief. Over the last few hours, we’ve had several questions as to whether tonight’s hashtag campaign will proceed as planned, and the short answer is yes, we’ll be there. These campaigns, that started out as promotion for a TV show, have evolved so far beyond that. To many people, they’ve become symbolic of our community, and … Continue reading →

Fringe Twitter Event 12/14/12: Let’s Take a Trip and # FreeYourMind

more than one of everything Posted on by

Hello, Fringies!  This week is a bittersweet one indeed for all of us. The final filming is taking place as I type, and hopefully is free from those who seek to ruin surprises. Joel Wyman — bless his huge heart — is keeping us updated on Twitter and is documenting the process for fans. It’s been said many times, but never enough: We are so lucky to have such passionate people making this show, because their love shows in each and every aspect. Last week’s event was a success, with trending in the US and Worldwide for a nice duration. … Continue reading →

Ambergram charitable donations have been made!! $1600 raised for six causes.

more than one of everything Posted on by

Project Ambergram is almost concluded, with the last of the gifts themselves being delivered to cast and crew shortly. In the mean time, all of our charitable donations have been made! After an ad hoc Twitter poll conducted yesterday, we decided the fairest way to designate the funds was to split them between all charities, giving weight to Alzheimer’s research, our twice previous poll winner. Above the cost of purchasing and shipping the Ambergrams themselves, Fringe fans raised a remarkable $1600 in charitable donations, more than three times our original goal, and funds were distributed as follows: Alzheimer’s Association – … Continue reading →

Fringe Twitter Event December 7, 2012: The # HumanKind is the Best Kind?

more than one of everything Posted on by

  This week has been one of celebration and reminiscing for Fringe fans. Our show has reached the milestone mark of 100 episodes! This is no small feat in the business of television. Very few shows make it past their 13 episode initial gauntlet — RIP Alcatraz and Terra Nova — so this is an achievement. Especially– given its ratings history — for Fringe. Joshua Jackson told CityTV, “It’s thanks to the fans that we’re still here.” We are still here, too, Josh; loving our show until the last credits roll and beyond.   Two years ago, I joined Twitter … Continue reading →

Fringe Twitter Event 11/16/12: (#)IPredict that We’re in for Some Action and a Rollercoaster of Emotions

more than one of everything Posted on by

Last week’s event featured some really cool tweets due to the nature of the show. After all, we are asked to Imagine the Impossibilities. Our creative fandom also came up with some wonderful icons, some of which featured Peter as an Observer, and others morphed our characters into the world of “Through the Looking Glass.” The trip through Walter’s pocket universe funhouse also gave us a glimpse of a character from season one — the Observer-like boy from Inner Child.  However, we still wonder about the identity of mysterious “Donald,” the man who was working with Walter as he hid the … Continue reading →

Ambergram Status Update! (And about time too!)

Happy Fringe Friday!! Tonight we follow Walter (and Peter) down the rabbit hole… In the mean time, things are very much in motion! The coins have arrived, I’m driving down to Austin to pick up the slabs tomorrow, and thank you cards are in production. In case anyone hasn’t seen them yet, here are the photos of the engraved slabs, coins, and cards:       I’ll take some more as soon as I get them home. 🙂 And because it takes a lot of trust to send money to strangers over the internet, I want to give you guys … Continue reading →
