FRINGE Showrunners Tweet (Some) Answers


It’s always great when members of a production tweet during an episode, especially if they’re willing to answer a few questions. Last Friday, during the west coast broadcast of Fringe, Jeff Pinkner (@jeffpinkner) and Joel Wyman (@JWFRINGE) did just that with “#FringeLiveTweet” as the hashtag. Of course there were some technical difficulties including Twitter being inordinately slow, but it was still great. Here are some of the most intriguing questions and answers:

J itsabadmansweet #FringeLiveTweet @jeffpinkner hi in last weeks episode agent broyles was alive in the other universe but didn’t he die when Olivia was there

in reply to ↑
jeffpinkner @jeffpinkner @itsabadmansweet Well, he died helping her ESCAPE… so we can assume that in this timeline… (to be continued. but that should help, no?)

Anita chotirani @jeffpinkner @JWFRINGE who IS Broyles’ boss. Clearly I missed that… #FringeLiveTweet

in reply to ↑
jeffpinkner @jeffpinkner @chotirani The President of the United States.

Anita chotirani @JWFRINGE @jeffpinkner Are we going to see more of Gene? The Observers and Gene tie as my bro and my favourite characters! #FringeLiveTweet

jeffpinkner @jeffpinkner @chotirani Of COURSE.

Matt Hickman hemo_jr @JWFRINGE #FringeLiveTweet Will we find out who wrote the blueprint of the future the Observers follow?

in reply to ↑
jeffpinkner @jeffpinkner @hemo_jr The Observers don’t have a blueprint – they EXIST in all possible timelines simultaneously, thus they can (in effect) see all possible futures. (“That BOOM — that’s my mind exploding”)
