Had a blast at lunch today with @QuantumPope, who took this lovely shot when we met a lab pup while wandering around Gastown! It’s my new favourite…. Even if it isn’t with Bella ;)
(See, I do things other than watch FRINGE on Fridays!)
Some of us were debating about last week’s FRINGE ep and whether they reshot the teaser or used old footage, since it matches the season 1 episode “The Transformation” so closely.. I was still curious, so I asked the director. From Fred Toye:
No, we only shot the scene where Bowman looks and his eyes turn yellow and the moment where the air Marshall opens the door. It was a challenge to match the location and make it look the same since the season 1 shoot was on 35mm film and now we shoot HD. Thought the Cameraman did a great job! Obviously the whole sequence in the TCA was new.
For all you FRINGE fans out there: time to vote! Yesterday they were filming a scene with many of the follicularly-challenged enigmas, which led to a discussion on Twitter about what exactly we ought to call large gatherings of Observers. There were a lot of awesome, hilarious, and brilliant suggestions, all of which I’ve included below (in no particular order).
Which ones are your favourites? Anyone have any others? I was honestly astounded at how many different suggestions people had!

I haven’t really weighed in on the whole “OMG Jasika Nicole quit Twitter!” thing because while I do adore FRINGE (and here those of you who know me are probably rolling their eyes at the understatement of the century), I felt no need to comment on what is obviously - although apparently not to some - simply a personal choice. And if someone quitting Twitter, for whatever reason, makes you feel outraged, I think you need some experience with real-life issues and stressors, because seriously, people…
Since I can’t possibly phrase it any better than this, give the blog post below a read. Even if you don’t agree with everything, or if you’ve been one of the people completely outraged by the whole thing, please just take a second to sit back and think about the issue from someone else’s perspective.
For what it’s worth: I’ve lost no respect for Jasika in all of this. If anything, I respect her more for how she’s responded in the aftermath.
THIS IS THE LAST OF IT fellow tumblrers, i swear….no more after this! it’s just so good, tho!
Following up a bit on the Jasika Nicole thing …
Some folks seem to think she’s being ungrateful. Which, A) she isn’t and B) dude, that’s icky. It sounds like some creeper telling…
FRINGE - Two Nadines and the Composer. (Or, from left to right, me, composer Chris Tilton, and actress Michelle Krusiec, who played the shapeshifter Nadine/Seven earlier this season).
I know some of you have seen this on Twitter already, but I’ve had quite a few questions about it. I was down in LA for a holiday, and Chris was awesome enough to invite me along to the Fringe recording sessions that coincided with my being in town. I watched them score the next two episodes, and I can tell you that even without dialogue they look highly intriguing!
And just for the record, as good as the soundtrack sounds during the episode, it’s a million times better hearing it live. That is one seriously talented group of people!
