Fringe - Latest from E!Online

3 Nov 2010

Thanks to FringeWatch for sending us the following..

@No1withaU (via Twitter): Are we going to see any Olivia against Altlivia? #fringe
Jeff Pinkner: There will not be a confrontation between the two women in the early part of the season.
Joel Wyman: Not a physical one.

@chachithegreat (via Twitter): Does Peter know that Fauxlivia is not his Olivia? Is he playing her or does he really not know?
J.P.: Peter pretty much believes that's his Olivia. He's just clocking the changes that are going on with her, what he thinks is an existential change for the character, since she's been through so much and has come back. [He thinks she] has seen what you could call the error of her ways in how she's lived her life, and that she's sort of had this epiphany where she sees the world so much clearer than she did before. He [sees] normal changes that are more about her personality, rather than suspecting she's not who she says she is.

Are Peter and the other Olivia fully in the throes of a relationship? Was that sex that they had?
J.W.: That was sex! That was definitely sex, and the next time we see them together, which will be in two episodes from now, pretty early on in the episode, we define exactly where there relationship is right now.

So when Olivia comes back, she'll discover that her boyfriend had an affair with...herself?
J.W.: Yes, imagine that. Coming back and realizing that your boyfriend has sort of had an affair with you—and maybe a better version [of you], which is so sad.

@aquelegobbi (via Twitter): Please ask about Altivia turning good ;)
J.P.: Under the headline that no character thinks they're a bad character, Altivia definitely exposes herself to us as a fully formed thinking woman who's going to realize certain things about existence and the two worlds and what part she's playing and who the other Olivia is and who Peter is and what she stands for—there's definitely going to be a lot of different colors that we get to know about her. She's a really interesting character, because she doesn't have the same things happen to her as a child that Olivia had, so she's Olivia 2.0, the perfect version of the character. So we get to contrast Olivia with Bolivia, and we get to see what could have been for our Olivia, and what's holding her back as a character. It's our intention to really examine Fauxlivia and have her be well-rounded.

By the way, Anna's doing a wonderful job with the two characters.
J.W.: Both she and John Noble and Lance Reddick, all of them, but particularly Anna, it's amazing how authentic both versions of all their characters are. As Anna has said, "Olivia wants to save the world. Bolivia wants to win." And in her mind, Olivia is somebody who was damaged, as a child. Walter experimented on her and the consequence of the experimentation was that she denies her own personal needs in favor of saving those people around her, and the world. Whereas, Bolivia has the same intrinsic desires to help the world, but to her it's much more a competition, and not a competition against anybody else, but a competition within herself to do right and be good. They both come from a similar foundation, but they're so different.

@EnergyTanks (via Twitter): [Any] episodes featuring the Observers?
J.P.: Yes, there's an Observer-centric episode coming up. Let's just say that what we love to do with the Observer episodes like "August" is give the fans a chance to understand a little more about what they're about, and this time won't disappoint.

Are you concerned at all about the ratings? What are you hearing from the network?
J.W.: Fox has been very supportive of the show, and Warner Brothers has obviously as well. We're just going to keep making the best show we know how to make, and hope that is enough.
J.P.: We talk about, "Are there things we can be doing, are there things we should be doing to broaden our audience?" We're very very pleased with the show that we're making right now, and as Joel said, Fox has nothing but wonderful and supportive. Entirely. From creative point of view, from a numbers point of view, everything. There have been no grumblings at all—quite the opposite—and we have decided that we would rather turn out a show with perhaps a slightly smaller fanbase, but one that's really really passionate about the show, and not worry about gimmicky stuff. What we say is that not everyone likes licorice, but the people that like it, really like it.
J.W.: We want to make that show.

  2. I don't really like the insinuation that Olivia is somehow less than Altlivia or is filled with wasted or untapped potential when compared to Altlivia. The idea that Olivia isn't the best she can be because of the traumatic childhood she endured is irksome to me. I think Olivia has done damn good for herself and it's BECAUSE of all the trials she's faced and overcome that she's able to do the work she does so effectively. Being emotionally sensitive doesn't make you a weak person.

  3. I don't think it's a matter of characterizing Altivia as better than Olivia. Olivia is more reserved and it's always nice to see people open up. Even if Olivia were with Peter in place of Altivia, do we really think that she would be as open and honest as Peter seems to think Altivia is being? And then the truth of the matter is that Altivia ISN'T being open and honest. She's may even be starting to care for Peter, which is a big problem for her. Alitivia could learn to be more reserved and Olivia could do with some loosening up.

  4. I think everyone is over-reacting with those comments. All the producers are trying to say is that in Olivia's mind, she is going to think that Altlivia is a perfect version of herself - she is not burdened, doesn't have the weight on her shoulders, wasn't experimented on etc.

    It's not what the audience is thinking... it's Olivia herself.

  5. That's not what Jeff Pinker said. He says directly:

    "She's a really interesting character, because she doesn't have the same things happen to her as a child that Olivia had, so she's Olivia 2.0, the perfect version of the character."

  6. As long as FOX is behind Fringe, that's all i care about!!! This gives me confidence about a season 4!

  7. I totally agree with you. I really love Fringe but I don't appreciate how the writers (and even Joshua Jackson) act like Altlivia is the "better" Olivia. I personally think that Olivia is an amazing character, and yeah maybe she is a bit reserved, but she seems so much more real to me than Altlivia (and not just because she's a double agent).
    It also bothers me that everyone on the internet acts like the Peter/Olivia relationship is such a central part of the show. IT REALLY ISN'T, and I don't like how the writers are making this transition where they are making their relationship such a big part of the show. It just seems forced to me, especially because Fringe is such a serious show. Don't get me wrong, I was totally into all of the Peter/Olivia subtle chemistry in the first two seasons, but now I am not going to be happy if Fringe turns into a soap opera with the two Olivias and Peter. I can watch Twilight if I want to see a creepy love triangle thank you very much.

  8. I don't think you'll have to worry about a love triangle. I don't think that Olivia & Altlivia won't exist in the same space for very long. I have the feeling that either our Liv or their Liv will end up getting killed. The scary part is that I'm not sure which one will survive!
