Reading the article for the first time today, I was struck at the line "Goodman also points to the usage of the "bubble graphics" to note a change in location tends to distract the viewer.[9]" in the "Production" sub. Who the hell is Goodman? I'm guessing Tim Goodman, who is referenced *below* this mention, but the footnote does not refer to something that he wrote. Short of deleting the offending statement, I wanted to see if anyone who knows what is going on with it wants to fix it. Quine ( talk) 01:59, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
Personally I feel this site doesn't offer enough to people who want more questions answered about Fringe. That is why I think that a new link should be added, a link to the Fringe Wiki. Which is constantly updated with the newest facts, news, and spoilers. This isn't spam because I'm not trying to sell anything or make a quick buck, in fact no profit at all is being made. It's an honest site for those wanting to learn more about the show Fringe. In fact the fans help create this site, so how can that possibily be labeled spam.
If you have an opinion for or against the addition of this new link please discuss here. Remember post your opinions here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mg.mikael ( talk • contribs) 14:02, May 24, 2008

Why would we comment directly? He's a better way to go about it:
Though not currently airing, the show's pilot has been leaked by unknown parties. fScience fiction and gaming columnist, Warren Ellis, reviewed the pilot in his BAD SIGNAL newsletter, saying that it was uneven but well made and "might get quite watchable, once it gets comfortable with The Mad Science." Other sources have commented on the pilot leak, but thus far have not reviewed it. [1] [2]
- Miskaton ( talk) 15:10, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
It should also be pointed out that rumors aren't always a bad thing to cover in an article, but we have to be careful to cover them as rumors. For example, there is an entire article about the Apple community. What's difficult is determining the notability of a rumor. I think, in this case, independent reviews by Warren Ellis, Wired and USA Today can be seen as confirmation enough. - Miskaton ( talk) 15:25, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
I went ahead and added the editprotected template, since there was no discussion of my above text (I assume this means that either no one cares or everyone thinks it's fine). Feel free to speak up if you feel otherwise. - Miskaton ( talk) 18:02, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
My apologies, Collectonian. My request is reasonable given how long the page has been locked and my goal is not to engage you in conflict, but to unlock/partially unlock this page so additional content may be added.

It was shown by the producer at a Comic Con convention. I watched the premiere and it IS indeed the pilot/premiere episode that will be 2 hours long (just over 81 minutes without commercials). If you go back and watch the previews for the show on the FOX site, and have watched the leaked show, then indeed it is the pilot episode. As to linking to copyrighted material, give me a break. WP and WN does it all the time. They are called sources. So regardless of whether something has a film or whatever on the site, does not mean its illegal, or wrong for WP or anyone else to use it as a source. I think the leak should be mentioned. Simply mentioning one link to a site, having the film or not, does not mean WP or anyone else is promoting or encouraging the download of it. DragonFire1024 ( talk) 17:17, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
References
Just curious. Can't really tell from the wikipedia article. Isn't that sort of a problem? WtW-Suzaku ( talk) 03:49, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
The article has a lot of references and citations, but they're mostly confirming casting. The cast section can be turned into a table and cite the official website. The rest of the article needs some standard sections like critical reception. The article barely describes the series premise. -- William Graham talk 23:48, 11 September 2008 (UTC)
As it is obvious from the amount of External Links that have been added then removed from this page that J.J. Abrams is at it again with online teaser websites, as he did with both Lost and Cloverfield, I suggest either a section for this be added to the article or a new article be devoted to it. I've noticed that some people seem to think the websites are irrelevant to the show itself but they are not truly irrelevant in the scheme of things considering what a large scale to-do The Lost Experience became.

As any Fringe viewer would notice, there is often text showing where people are. Unfortunately, it is relatively pointless. They often refer to small towns, assuming that no one will notice that they filmed states away from it. For example, in episode 2, they show that a location is "Stoughton, MA". I live in the town next to Stoughton, MA and drive through it very often. When they first showed it, I thought, "wow, that looks nothing like stoughton... but maybe it's some weird part I have somehow never seen..." but then they decided that there is now this HUGE bridge there that anyone local would know. I've never seen such a bridge, so I googlemapped it and googled it. There has never been any huge bridge in Stoughton, yet they used it as big evidence that that is where somehting *omited to stop spoiler* happened. They called it Sargent bridge. The only Sargent bridge (that I could find) is in Sargent, Nebraska. Nebraska isn't quite the same as MA... They should either not name places, be more vague, or name things the right thing. I love the show so far, but that one thing is very annoying. 207.206.238.173 ( talk) 03:20, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
WHAT!!?? STAR WARS wasn't REALLY filmed on Tattooine and Hoth?? The DEATH STAR scenes weren't really on the Death Star?! Middle Earth was really New Zealand?! I'm heart broken! C'mon this is fiction. It was fun to go to CBS in California (decades ago) and watch the video taping of "Welcome Back Kotter", which is set in New York, with items on the shelves in the kitchen that were specific to the west coast and not usually found "back east".

One boardroom scene purportedly set in Boston was filmed in the Seventh Regiment Armory in NYC- the regimental crest clearly visible on a paneled wall. I think the producers are having a little fun.

A short while ago, I added an image to the Media information section, noting in my edit summary: "added image with caption (will follow up with citation shortly)". Rather than actually wait for those sources to be added, the image was deleted less than nine minutes later. I have added it back in, with the promised connecting citations. And yes, the image is fair-use (promotional material). - Hexhand ( talk) 16:31, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
Since the two links added to note the marketing poster have been marked (sans discussion) as unreliable, I've since added a citation speaking to the images, which was reverted - again, without discussion - claiming that it didn't connect to the text. In order to avoid the likelihood that adding yet another citation would be reverted (it is a different story from the same source), I am presenting it here. Take a look and let's see if that stops the reverting. - Hexhand ( talk) 18:15, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

Does the aired version differ much from the earlier version (which was leaked and reviewed in a few places online)? This might be off topic, if it is, a link to info answering this would be appreciated. Thanks. -- Minderbinder ( talk) 22:27, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
The plot needs to be reworked, as it is solely about the pilot (which still has its own article). The plot should revolve around the premise of the series, not the pilot itself. That would appear to be a group of people investigating phenomenae on the fringe of science. It should be noted that the usage of "fringe science" as an entity is an inaccruate usage. All pseudoscience outside the mainstram is considered fringe, as per the article on " fringe science". Thoughts? - Hexhand ( talk) 15:25, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
Instead of Plot there's now a Premise section, but instead of describing the premise it outlines the plot of the series. A premise is the basic concept around which the show revolves (i.e. a secret FBI division deals with cases involving fringe science) and not the entire plot of the series. 173.24.66.108 ( talk) 13:06, 27 July 2014 (UTC)

The site : Parentstv: http://www.parentstv.org/PTC/faqs/main.asp has been doing this for 10 years and the press has been quoting them : http://news.google.ca/news?rlz=1B3GGGL_frCA268CA268&hl=en&q=Parents%20Television%20Council&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wn so a mention that the Parents Television Council has called it the "Worst of the week" is not uncalled for.

Some fairly extensive notation of the differences between Fringe's home universe and its parallel universe was destroyed on Fringepedia in a fit of ownership behavior by one of its admins. I've rescued it to my userspace. I'm not sure I see a place for it in the article and am furthermore not sure whether it would be WP:OR or merely something appropriately derived from primary sources. Still, thought I'd note it here in case anyone wanted to guide the information to a new home. WCityMike 18:03, 15 May 2010 (UTC)
The comic spin off is mentioned, without name, without any form of link that can eventually lead to the article about it. Its currently a black hole, this needs to be rectified.
I've read the page, followed links and I still have absolutely no clue regarding the comic....not its name, not its plot, nada and the comic finished being released last year already?? !!

Drawing any parallels between the two might be WP:OR, but it is perhaps worth mentioning that Thomas Jerome Newton shares a name with the lead character from the novel The Man Who Fell to Earth and the better-known movie of the same name, starring David Bowie in the lead role - it's not be the first time Abrams has done something like this.

I'm considering if we have enough - in both content and from reliable secondary sources, to create a Mythology of Fringe article comparable to Mythology of Lost. We certainly have:
and probably a handful more that I'm missing at the moment. I'm looking at key elements that, within the various Fringe-related articles, we can then link to to avoid having to explain these each first-use time.
Any suggestions? -- MASEM ( t) 18:18, 1 April 2011 (UTC)
Starting drafting at User:Masem/Mythology of Fringe. Feel free to add. I want to try to make sure we're sourcing as much as possible, ideally hitting some of the concept/creation points (eg the world building aspect of the parallel universe). -- MASEM ( t) 23:54, 5 April 2011 (UTC)
Just to mention that a few recurring characters of importance are the 2 or 3 people established as having Cortexiphan-induced "fringe" abilities in Season One, who cross over to the other universe in the final episodes of Season 2 with the "infiltration team" led by Olivia and Walter. Does that count as "recurring" if it's 2-3 episodes only? 204.92.65.10 ( talk) 20:19, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
John Noble's hosting a new show related to "fringe science" on the Science channel. [9]. I'd like better confirmation that John was picked for this specifically because he plays Walter on Fringe to assure that its a legacy thing. -- MASEM ( t) 17:21, 4 August 2011 (UTC)

One boardroom scene purportedly set in Boston was filmed in the Seventh Regiment Armory in NYC- the regimental crest clearly visible on a paneled wall. I think the producers are having a little fun. Can you think of any other mystery/conspiracy series set in Boston? Saxophobia ( talk) 19:02, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
I've taken a page from the [ [4]] another Abrams' series was constructed (an FA), and added a categorization of the external links; to whit, I've added Massive Dynamic as an Official Tie-in. - Hexhand ( talk) 18:06, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
A short while ago, I added an image to the Media information section, noting in my edit summary: "added image with caption (will follow up with citation shortly)". Rather than actually wait for those sources to be added, the image was deleted less than nine minutes later. I have added it back in, with the promised connecting citations. And yes, the image is fair-use (promotional material). - Hexhand ( talk) 16:31, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
Since the two links added to note the marketing poster have been marked (sans discussion) as unreliable, I've since added a citation speaking to the images, which was reverted - again, without discussion - claiming that it didn't connect to the text. In order to avoid the likelihood that adding yet another citation would be reverted (it is a different story from the same source), I am presenting it here. Take a look and let's see if that stops the reverting. - Hexhand ( talk) 18:15, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
I think that all three parts equal something more reliable. - Hexhand ( talk) 03:10, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
Does the aired version differ much from the earlier version (which was leaked and reviewed in a few places online)? This might be off topic, if it is, a link to info answering this would be appreciated. Thanks. -- Minderbinder ( talk) 22:27, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
The plot needs to be reworked, as it is solely about the pilot (which still has its own article). The plot should revolve around the premise of the series, not the pilot itself. That would appear to be a group of people investigating phenomenae on the fringe of science. It should be noted that the usage of "fringe science" as an entity is an inaccruate usage. All pseudoscience outside the mainstram is considered fringe, as per the article on " fringe science". Thoughts? - Hexhand ( talk) 15:25, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
Instead of Plot there's now a Premise section, but instead of describing the premise it outlines the plot of the series. A premise is the basic concept around which the show revolves (i.e. a secret FBI division deals with cases involving fringe science) and not the entire plot of the series. 173.24.66.108 ( talk) 13:06, 27 July 2014 (UTC)
I see the "Parents Television Council" linked to from the "Reception" section of the article. Who are they? How is that not link spam? BOTF ( talk) 23:59, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

3rd Opinion
The site : Parentstv: http://www.parentstv.org/PTC/faqs/main.asp has been doing this for 10 years and the press has been quoting them : http://news.google.ca/news?rlz=1B3GGGL_frCA268CA268&hl=en&q=Parents%20Television%20Council&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wn so a mention that the Parents Television Council has called it the "Worst of the week" is not uncalled for. However, making sure opinions from others are mentioned are needed to balance things out. -- CanadianLinuxUser ( talk) 18:55, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
I have removed two-to-three lines of speculative content, all unsourced. Wikipedia is not the place for original research, if one wishes the speculation to be re-added, you must cite a reliable source.— Dæ dαlus Contribs / Improve 05:09, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

The observer is featured, even if just for a split second, in each episode of Fringe. During the Eagles-Giants Playoff game, the observer was shown on screen deliberately by FOX to market the show. [ [5]] - Gatty790 ( talk) 00:48, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

Some fairly extensive notation of the differences between Fringe's home universe and its parallel universe was destroyed on Fringepedia in a fit of ownership behavior by one of its admins. I've rescued it to my userspace. I'm not sure I see a place for it in the article and am furthermore not sure whether it would be WP:OR or merely something appropriately derived from primary sources. Still, thought I'd note it here in case anyone wanted to guide the information to a new home. WCityMike 18:03, 15 May 2010 (UTC)
The comic spin off is mentioned, without name, without any form of link that can eventually lead to the article about it. Its currently a black hole, this needs to be rectified.
I've read the page, followed links and I still have absolutely no clue regarding the comic....not its name, not its plot, nada and the comic finished being released last year already?? !!

Drawing any parallels between the two might be WP:OR, but it is perhaps worth mentioning that Thomas Jerome Newton shares a name with the lead character from the novel The Man Who Fell to Earth and the better-known movie of the same name, starring David Bowie in the lead role - it's not be the first time Abrams has done something like this.

Does anyone know what channel this is on in the UK (England specifically)? I used to watch it on Sky 1 but the show isnt even on their website anymore (or Sky Player). Please, I dont want to miss any of Walter's funny comments! Walternat 14:28, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

If someone has seen the serial back and forth several times, could they prepare a list of fictional toxins (poisons/chemical weapons/mutagens) etc. and add it to the List of fictional toxins page? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aforaseem ( talk • contribs) 08:58, 31 March 2011 (UTC)
I'm considering if we have enough - in both content and from reliable secondary sources, to create a Mythology of Fringe article comparable to Mythology of Lost. We certainly have:
and probably a handful more that I'm missing at the moment. I'm looking at key elements that, within the various Fringe-related articles, we can then link to to avoid having to explain these each first-use time.
Any suggestions? -- MASEM ( t) 18:18, 1 April 2011 (UTC)
Starting drafting at User:Masem/Mythology of Fringe. Feel free to add. I want to try to make sure we're sourcing as much as possible, ideally hitting some of the concept/creation points (eg the world building aspect of the parallel universe). -- MASEM ( t) 23:54, 5 April 2011 (UTC)
Just to mention that a few recurring characters of importance are the 2 or 3 people established as having Cortexiphan-induced "fringe" abilities in Season One, who cross over to the other universe in the final episodes of Season 2 with the "infiltration team" led by Olivia and Walter. Does that count as "recurring" if it's 2-3 episodes only? 204.92.65.10 ( talk) 20:19, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
John Noble's hosting a new show related to "fringe science" on the Science channel. [9]. I'd like better confirmation that John was picked for this specifically because he plays Walter on Fringe to assure that its a legacy thing. -- MASEM ( t) 17:21, 4 August 2011 (UTC)
Just thought I'd add fringe is about to start airing on the science channel - which I cannot wait for because I can't catch the time slot they have it on now and no DVR for me :( — Preceding
