"Fringe" is back with more mystery, more oddity, and more Anna TorvThe first episode of the second season of Fringe starts tonight on Fox — and it's a good one! But then, more Anna Torv is always a good thing. TheTorchOnline.com recently published an interesting interview with Torv, and I like her answer to this question:
I don't want to give away any spoilers about the new episode (you can get those on FringeTelevision.com), but I will give you a few teasers: the show picks up exactly where it left off, and somewhere in the episode, Agent Olivia Dunham (Torv) wakes up and suddenly starts speaking Greek. Intriguing, yes? Just don't expect the episode to answer many of your burning questions (the Fringe writers are good at putting that off). Olivia, Peter (Joshua Jackson), Walter Bishop (John Noble), Astrid (Jasika Nicole), Agent Broyles (Lance Reddick), Agent Francis (Kirk Acevedo), and the lab's resident cow are all back, and there's also a new female FBI Agent, played by Meghan Markle. I have to admit I wasn't thrilled with either her acting or her character, but I'm hoping both will improve over time. The cast did a photoshoot to promote the second season, and Fox made a cute video of it: Now on to the new photos! First, we have the snazzy new posters, which quite appropriately focus on Olivia. There are 14 "easter eggs" in this first poster — can you find them all? (Go here for the list.)
A few new cast photos:
And then my favorite photos — a series of spooky shots featuring a single character. Here are the photos of the three women: Agent Olivia Dunham (Anna Torv) The fantastically creepy and commanding Nina Sharp (Blair Brown) FBI Agent/Walter Bishop's lab assistant Astrid (out actresss Jasika Nicole) Here are a few stills from tonight's episode.
Only Fringe can get away with including a coma, an alternate reality, and a cow wearing a birthday hat in the same episode. Are you excited about Fringe returning? Come back after tonight's episode to discuss it in the comments. Submitted by on September 17, 2009 - 4:44pm. |

i forgot all about this.
i forgot all about this. thank you for reminding me sarah.
"But then, more Anna Torv is always a good thing."
i could not have agreed more. new wall papers for me.
Am I excited?
Perhaps you assume we all know this...
But shouldn't you point out that Jasika Nicole is out? I feel like usually you do that even when it's someone pretty blindingly obvious like Jane Lynch or Portia de Rossi.
So anyway, just thought I'd point it out for anyone who didn't know!
Thanks for the reminder
:O
I LOVE FRINGE! But sadly i had no idea it was on tonight, thats for reminding me :D YAY!

tonight's episode was
tonight's episode was awesome. so many awesome things will be airing on thursdays. alas i've not come into the 21st century and gotten a TiVo or DVR. so i was switching between Bones and weekend update thurs. and parks & rec.
Looking forward to this season.
Fringe's eye candy = the new female agent.
=)

I'm considering watching this.
I miss X-Files.
D:
Anna Torv, Anna Torv...
Hey, they had about a one second clip of X-Files on the season opener. I thought that was a very brief and nice tribute. Personally, I don't get the same feel from Fringe that I got from the X-Files and that's fine. Did I mention that Anna Torv is one of the hottest things going on out there. I do have others, but she's..hmm..for some reason she is at the top of this genre anyway.
Spoiler just in case you haven't been following. Don't read past here!
I've always liked well done parallel universe stories. And if it's got Anna Torv in it, I will accept anything they throw at me.
I don't recall seeing that photo...
I don't recall seeing a scene where Agent Dunham is standing and talking to Nina Sharp (as per one of the photos above). Did I blink and miss it? It was a good episode overall.
It was fun recognizing the various locations in Vancouver in the episode - since I live in Vancouver. That was also fun to figure out while watching X-Files too.
The 'shout-out' to the shapeshifters from The X-Files was a nice touch. I had read somewhere that they were going to do that. If you wanted to make a spoof of that episode you could have Agent Scully be the main shapeshifter in Agent Dunham's dream...
Anna was a guest on The Ellen show today as well. Near the end of the conversation Ellen said she had seen the first episode of season 2 of Fringe and that it was creepy. Anna replied, without missing a beat, "but not as creepy as that game in the segment before me." (or something like that.) Apparently Ellen tried out a new audience game but will not play it again. :0
Next episode
I'm excited!
I've missed Fringe.
Excited that there is a season 2.
Excited about the start of season 2.
Excited re: Anna Torv :)
Just
Saw "Mistresses" and Anna Torv JUMPED out of the screen at me.
And I can say this in all objectivity as I "usually" don't go for blondes... then again, I do go for sultry voices... which makes her an honorary brunette in my mind - so much for objectivity...
(note to self: get season one on DVD pronto)
Too bad
Yeah...
Tell me about it....
Definitely too bad...
It was an amazing season
It was an amazing season premiere! I missed the show.
Just one thing. When Olivia woke up from the coma she didn't speak latin. That was Greek and she said "To be a better man than his father"
Thanks!
