In honor of the winter break being over with a new episode of FRINGE airing Friday, January 13th at 9pm EST/8pm CST, I’m giving away this 11x17 picture/poster. I have one hanging on my wall and now you can have one too!
Please reblog this to get the word out about the show’s return and that will…
So I cover TV shows, including Fringe, for Examiner.com. My article feed is here. Anywho I know there are a lot of Save Fringe campaigns going on, and most of the take place for Friday night’s episode. So I was thinking of writing an article about all the save fringe movements, specifically for Jan. 13th. I know of #CrossTheLine, checking in to getglue and getglue sponsors, but that is it.
Bottom line is, I want to save Fringe. I think these fan ideas are a great idea, but not all fans are aware of them. I hope to educate some people by writing an article about all the things fans are banding together to do for Friday’s episode. Help me out by reblogging this, replying with information about other campaigns I am not aware of, and you can even invade my ask.
You can also contact me via twitter or facebook. I am also on getglue. So will you help?
COUNT ME IN!
‘For instance,’ [Meryl Streep] says, forking at a bread-crumbed oyster, ‘we are taught about Benedict Arnold, the first traitor in America, but I’ve never heard—until I went onto the [National Women’s History Museum] Web site—about Deborah Sampson, the first woman to take a bullet for her nation. She was 21 years old in the Revolutionary War. She enlisted on the American side under a man’s name, wore boys’ clothing, was cut with a British saber across her forehead, and took a musket ball in her thigh.’ She’s a good storyteller, with a warm, urgent voice. ‘And her compatriots carried her six miles to the doctor’s, and he stitched up her head and she wouldn’t let him take her pants off—because he would discover she was a woman!’ So did she die of her wound? ‘No—she was very good with her needle, so she cut the musket ball out and sewed her own leg up and served another eighteen months. In 1783 she was discharged, went home and had three children.’ Sampson was granted £34 by the state of Massachusetts for exhibiting ‘an extraordinary instance of feminine heroism by discharging the duties of a faithful, gallant soldier, and at the same time preserving the virtue and chastity of her sex unsuspected and unblemished.’ Amazing story. ‘And I am 60 years old and I learn this story,’ says Streep. ‘I should have learned that story in the fourth grade. Because it helps you as a child to know that it is not just Paul Revere riding a horse and calling, ‘The British are coming, the British are coming.’ It’s not just Benjamin Franklin and George Washington and the battles won, it’s the bravery of all these people that are undiscovered, unknown.’

There have been a few great ideas posted already about giving Fringe sponsors our dollars, sending tweetouts etc.
I’d like to propose a variation on this theme. Again as a way to let the advertisers know they have our eyeballs even though we are not counted by Nielsen.
Tweetouts are great…
So Jealous of UK tonight
Now I know how they feel when they have to wait for Fringe… all these delicious pictures of the new Sherlock episode…. and I’m still waiting, waiting, waiting…
I heard a bluray will be released at the end of the month. Fingers crossed. New Fringe AND new Sherlock? What a great month!
Every day for the past 25 years, I’ve tried to imagine what you would look like as a man, my son. But I don’t deserve this, I don’t deserve you. I realize now that this was my punishment. You were sent to tempt me, to see if I repeat the mistakes of the past. You shouldn’t be here. Wherever you came from, however you got here, it doesn’t matter. I can’t help you. I tried to help a boy, a version of my son, 25 years ago. But that boy was never my son and neither are you.
The best scene from an incredible episode of the smartest show on TV
Has everyone heard of the Novation Schism?
In 251 a Roman theologian named Novation had himself consecrated as a bishop in opposition to Pope Cornelius because of some disagreement over boring things and ended up getting excommunicated by the church.
In another words, he claimed he was a Bishop, but no one accepted him.
Fucking. Genius.
”But the first time that Peter ever grew as a man, outside of his relationship with Walter, because I think that’s progressed quite nicely, was when she came back and she was all pissed off, Peter took it like a man, never complained, gave her time, stuck by her. That was when I realized this was the true relationship, this is where his heart really lies because as a man you wouldn’t stick around for all that nonsense if you didn’t really care.
The guy who gets defensive, he’s not really in it for the long haul. If he reacts any other way then that tells me this is a bs relationship. The fact that he’s willing to a) be honest with her and b) take it on the chin and let her work out her anger is really the moment that led to the sacrifice at the end.”

I love how he seems to be less reluctant when it comes to P/O ever since the end of the season. I think Peter sacrificing himself for Olivia really showed him that it wasn’t ‘cheap romance’. Like he said, it was such a noble act, and I’m sure it’s way more rewarding for him as the actor to play something with such a deep meaning rather than playing Peter ‘dumbly’ falling into Altlivia’s vagenda. Let’s be honest, so many people have bashed Peter this season, when all along he was just a man deeply in love, and there he goes, giving up his existence for her.
Well said, Josh :’)
