[1] regarding the potential of season 5. Not sure how to incorporate it yet. -- MASEM ( t) 05:07, 9 January 2012 (UTC)
Hi all! I'm proposing a new taskforce for Fringe. Interested editors can find the proposal page at Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals/Fringe (TV series). I hope it goes successfully. Thanks, Ruby 2010/ 2013 04:16, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
In what way is this show related to Dark Angel? I looked at the references but I couldn't find any mention in the articles that were linked. 220.245.184.11 ( talk) 12:50, 13 February 2012 (UTC)
I am aware that speculation is generally frowned on, but is there any evidence of influence here. Episode 79 "The End of All Things", giving details of the Observers, and their influence on the overall arc is very similar. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Excelis4 ( talk • contribs) 15:30, 1 March 2012 (UTC)

Those are the big issues I see. On hold for seven days.-- Gen. Quon ( talk) 21:55, 29 April 2012 (UTC)
OK, everything looks really good; almost there! The only thing I can really suggest is that you site the plot like this, aka using primary sources. I would also add some of the background and development info into the lead. Other than that, I think it is looking a lot better.-- Gen. Quon ( talk) 02:33, 10 May 2012 (UTC)
Per the GA review, I'm moving citations out of the introduction. However, I'm not sure where to put citations 1 and 2. So, I've decided to put them here and allow users who know where to put them to put them in their respective places.

It is a show versus it was a show.
It has been reverted to 'is' at least once that I am aware of, by Masem, with the odd edit summary that seemed to suggest that if the show was, then it somehow ceases to exist. I disagree. The program is no longer in production, there is no film planned and all of the cast has moved on to other projects. Why not call a spade a spade and put the show in its proper tense. -

The influence and homage to the X-Files is overt, so no argument there. In some respects, Fringe is the rightful successor to the X-Files, in more ways than one. However, I'm really not seeing the rationale for comparing it to Altered States and The Twilight Zone. I mean, sure, both Altered States and Fringe use isolation tanks, but so what, that's hardly a reason to describe it as a direct influence. And yes, there is drug usage in both, but again, so what. And The Twilight Zone? Sorry, I'm just not seeing it. The entire premise of Altered States and The Twilight Zone bears no real comparison to Fringe, so I question the wisdom of including this statement in the lead. Instead, it should focus more on the similarity with the X-Files, which is demonstrable and easy to prove. Viriditas ( talk) 03:50, 7 August 2015 (UTC)
Described as being "influenced by film and television shows such as Lost,..."
Not sure how Lost, which was made later, could have "influenced" this show. — Preceding

Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to one external link on
Fringe (TV series). Please take a moment to review
my edit. You may add {{
cbignore}}
after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add {{
nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}}
to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:
When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true or failed to let others know (documentation at {{
Sourcecheck}}
).

We previously had the "Unearthed" episode labeled as episode 11 of season 2 per how it originally aired, but editor Thelonggoneblues has made various changes (see Fringe (season 1) and Fringe (season 2)). I feel there should be a consensus to how we should treat this episode on Wikipedia. So, the facts are:
With that, we either label it season 1, episode 21; season 2, episode 11; or as "bonus" episode in either season 1 or 2, where it is located in the episode table but separated with a different header (see Breaking Bad (season 5)#Episodes as an example). Determining how we label "Unearthed" effects various things, such as episode numbers in episode articles (which Thelonggoneblues has changed), season episode counts, and the ratings table at List of Fringe episodes#Ratings because now some of the episodes are off by one.
