Speaking to Abrams and his collaborators about the new episodes. by Eric Goldman
Press tour
This week, during the Television Critics Association press tour, I had the chance to speak to three of the executive producers from Fringe, including J.J. Abrams, Roberto Orci and Jeff Pinkner.

The most recent episode of Fringe was a very impressive one, bringing back plot points and characters from earlier episodes that seemed initially to be completely standalone. When I asked Abrams if that had always been the plan, he said yes and added, “I would say, you should just wait until these upcoming episodes, because that happens again and again. There are payoffs to standalones [where] you don’t have to have seen the show before, but if you’ve been watching, everything comes together.“
J.J. Abrams
J.J. Abrams, who co-created Fox’s SF series Fringe, told a group of reporters that the series is just hitting its stride in the second half of its first season.
“I think that now more than ever, the show has really found its voice,” Abrams said in a group interview Wednesday in Hollywood, Calif. “The episodes that are airing starting next week are the ones that for me are far and away the best episodes and what the show is. I feel like Fringe is a show about these crazy experiments, but in many ways Fringe is an experiment. I feel like we just found a way that the show works best. Those episodes are coming up next.“
J.J. Abrams
Included in those upcoming episodes, starting Jan. 20, is a resolution to the arc of Olivia Dunham (Anna Torv) and John Scott (Mark Valley). Abrams warned viewers to expect more questions along with those answers.
“There’s a great resolution that’s coming out in a few episodes, but it takes a lot of loose ends and gives closure to those,” Abrams said. “Any show that is working will tell stories, resolve them; other stories will begin, and it’ll just kind of be this staggered thing. That’s where we are. So I really love the episode, and he’s fantastic in it. If you’re watching the show, it explains who he was, why he was doing what he did, why she’s been seeing him.“
J.J. Abrams
Earlier in the day, Fox President of Entertainment Kevin Reilly said he was confident the network would pick up a second season of Fringe. “I’m in love with Kevin Reilly,” Abrams joked, before adding that he himself has not thought that far ahead.
“I hope that’s true,” Abrams said. “It’s sort of like being in the middle of lunch talking about dinner. It’s like the idea of a season two is spectacular. I’m sure I’ll be hungry when dinnertime comes, but I’m in the middle of lunch right now, so I just want to get through lunch.“
J.J. Abrams
In the near future, Abrams is excited about the “slug gigantism” episode.
“Wait until you see this next episode,” he said. “If you’re a fan of gigantic slugs, don’t miss Fringe. That really should be the billboard.”

Fringe airs Tuesdays at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Fox.

Insight
J.J. Abrams makes reference to gigantic slugs. Is it possible that this might be an episode solving one of the unsolved patterns from Episode 3 “The Ghost Network”?

TV Guide article featuring an interview with Fringe executive producer, Jeff Pinkner, who gives hints about the Observer:

The article reads:
Who is the Observer
So who the heck is the Observer? Only Fringe’s most mysterious character. “First off, you have to question the premise that there is only one,” says exec producer Jeff Pinkner of the figure–played by Tony-winning actor Michael Cerveris–who seems linked to the drama’s pattern mythology.
Observer in every episode
Well, whatever he is, or they are, it’s weird. The Observer has been in every episode; jotting down notes in code, exiting elevators seconds before they crash or simply being creepy. And while we do know he rescued Walter and Peter from a freezing river after their car fell through the ice years ago (”He seems to be fine in extreme situations,” hints Pinkner), the hairless wonder’s interest in Olivia remains murky. “He’s observing things that might not have great meaning to Olivia or to us as citizens of the planet…yet,” Pinkner says. “He’s aware of a larger context.”
Learn more in upcoming episodes
Pinkner promises fans “will learn more about [him] in upcoming episodes.” Until then, he’ll only say the Observer’s “agenda is certainly influenced” by Walter’s experiments, both past and present. And we’re not dealing with a time traveler. “He’s of our time. He just may not be of our place.”

Joshua Jackson
On Tuesday, Fox’s executives deemed Fringe to be “a keeper” at the TCA press tour. A bit later, Joshua Jackson stopped by Fox’s all-star party to chat about your favorite sci fi show’s return after American Idol on Jan. 20. He didn’t spill too many secrets, but he did hint at what’s coming up in the second half of the season. Here are highlights:
the highlights
On coming back for a new batch of episodes: “The idea around our set is that round two for us is really kind of like season two. The end of the 10th episode is really kind of a big cliffhanger: Olivia is left in jeopardy. So we come back just like you would at the beginning of season two, you resolve the cliffhanger, and all of the untied lines from those 10 episodes are tied up pretty quickly in the first few episodes back. And then we use that to launch us into the second set of stories. Also, we’re coming on after American Idol, which is a much larger audience, so it gives us an opportunity to kind of reintroduce the characters. Once the John Scott character is out of Olivia’s head, it opens her up to a wide variety of possibilities cause she’s literally been carrying this man with her since the beginning of the show.”
