J.H. Wyman and the cast countdown to the Fringe finale in a new set report from TV Guide.
“It’s going to be big,” says Anna Torv, whose Olivia Dunham is already bearing the bumps and bruises of the previous episode’s action. “I’ll be impressed if we can shoot it in the time allotted.”
Not that the show hasn’t beaten the odds again and again, having survived several seasons thanks to a fan base stronger than its ratings might indicate. That’s why executive producer Joel Wyman has taken great pains to craft a finale he hopes will satisfy the diehards. “I didn’t want to come up with more universes or pull any dramatic tricks,” says Wyman, who is directing the two-hour finale’s last half. “A lot of times a showrunner is in the position to do what they like, because at the end of a series, nobody can tell you what to do. But I owe so much to the fans, I wanted to make sure it was for them.”

That was a good article and as usual no hints as to how it will end. Tight-lipped as ever.

OK. Science Channel and Netflix.
Science Channel could pick up 1,500,000 viewers a week if they continued the series with new episodes.
Netflix is putting money into this silly thing with Kevin Spacey that has no hope. They could pick up 800,000 subscriptions (x $9/month is $7.2 million) if they continued with new episodes.
The networks underestimate the fanbase that has carried the show thus far. Live viewership is consistently 2.5 to 3 million in what is well known as the last season, with minimal new viewers. If they got half of that at Science it would be their most viewed show. Same goes for Netflix!

Yep, and that’s why I’m telling myself why the actors are taking a break before moving on to other projects. I wonder if this has been thought over? It would be great to get some new Fringe.

That Kevin Spacey thing DOES look silly! I have no interest in it.

Fringe already had its story stretched passed the original endpoint (universes at war) once. Don’t think another time would be a good idea.
