WHO: Joshua Jackson, John Noble, Anna Torv, and exec producers Alex Kurtzman, Roberto Orci, J.H. Wyman, and Jeff Pinkner. MIA: J.J. Abrams and Kirk Acevedo.
2:26 pm/PST: How many dimensions will season 2 take place in? Two, according to Pinkner. “[It's] two versions of reality,” he adds. “It’s not time travel.”
2:28 pm: Leonard Nimoy will be back for “several more” episodes, one of which has already been shot.
2:30 pm: Over the course of season 1, Orci says they “got a better handle on the balance of our characters and our plots, and making sure that our plots are character-centric.”
2:31 pm: Noble calls Walter Bishop “the most enjoyable character I’ve ever played in my life.”
2:33 pm: On balancing the show’s two parallel universes, Pinkner says the season “predominantly takes place over here. But what happens over there is impacting what happens over here.” Got that?
2:35 pm: Pinkner concedes that the “mythology overtook the story and the characters” on Alias. “We’re being very careful not to let that happen [on Fringe].”
2:40 pm: The reveal about the parallel universe was originally going to be held off until the end of season 3. But research showed viewers “were open and ready for more,” explains e.p. Kurtzman, “so [we said], ‘Why stall it?’”
2:42 pm: Old news: There’s a spoilery twist in the premiere concerning Kirk Acevedo’s Charlie.
2:48 pm: Jackson calls Noble an “endlessly inventive actor… and [he] makes my life so much more enjoyable.” The sentiment seems genuine.
2:53 pm: Jackson describes his obsession with The X-Files thusly: “I would watch that show six feet under water with my dying breath in my lungs.” Wow, and I thought I was a fan.
2:54 pm: On a possible Olivia-Peter hookup, “As long as the emotion is true, we’re open to anything,” says Pinkner. Adds Orci: “We want it to be organic. Not just something we planned.”

it’s filming in Vancouver! wooh saw joshua jackson couple weeks back
yes, but that means you live in vancouver, canada, which sux
Way to be a troll, Em. Vancouver is beautiful, as is most of Canada. The varied landscapes allow a lot of productions to film there.
Does this mean that Kirk Acevedo is staying on Fringe? He was in the press release and the promotional photos for season 2. If i remember correctly promotional photos are usually for series regulars.
Maybe something will happen to Charlie in one dimension but he will still be alive in the other?

David Shore listen to these people, that’s how you write romance
I don’t exactly want a Peter/Olivia relationship. I called it from day one. Can’t we ever have a show with 2 leading roles of the opposite gender and not be forced to witness them in a romance? If not, keep it like Booth and Bones on “Bones” and make us wait a while, while giving us the awkward humor.
If he waited until season 3 the show would have never made it there.
Joshua Jackson is ugly and can’t act – he reads his lines like Frankenstein.
Yeah, in an alternate universe maybe? Certainly not in this one.
Omg, I would watch X-Files while being burned alive and simultaniously be crushed by walls closing in on me!(My worst fears)0.o
Fringe is also showing to be really good.:D
And I love the idealism on the romance. [Mulder<3 Scully]
