FRINGE BLOGGERS | Fansite Blog for Fox Television Show FRINGE from JJ. Abrams

BuzzSugar.com snagged an interview with Fringe writer/exec producer Roberto Orci, in which he reveals that the idea for Fringe was actually conceived way back at last years San Diego Comic-Con:

“We actually ended up staying an extra night here because we were so close to figuring out the exact story for Fringe,” Orci said. “We like to say that the show in a way was conceived here.”

Buzz Sugar also remind us of the potential for Fringe to have a deep mystery and mythology base (“LOST”, anyone?) with these teasing comments (slight spoilers ahead – don’t read if easily spoiled):

We might find out more about Peter (Joshua Jackson) and his childhood — things maybe even Peter doesn’t know. We might meet the head of Massive Dynamic, the maybe-good, maybe-evil corporation at the center of the story. - BuzzSugar.com

Meanwhile, NiceGirlsTV.com managed to video interview Orci, putting him on the spot by asking him to describe the Fringe premise in 20 seconds (good job, Orci!). He also reveals that they want Anna Torv’s character (agent Olivia Dunham) to be relatable, strong and vulnerable:

Zap2it.com’s Korbi Ghosh notes the potential parallels between Fringe’s Kelvin Genetics Programme and Lost’s Dharma Initiaive (‘leaked pilot’ spoilers ahead):

I will tell you, however, a bit about the “mad scientist” character played by actor John Noble. Prior to his institutionalization almost two decades ago, he worked out of a major university and was part of a classified U.S. Army experimental program called Kelvin Genetics. They gave him the resources to do whatever work he wanted, which was mostly in an area called Fringe Science: mind control, teleportation, invisibility, astral projection (aka “out of body” experiences), genetic mutation and reanimation. Sound familiar? Could Kelvin Genetics possibly have something to do with the Dharma Initiative? I’m going to guess and say no, but it would definitely explain a lot about Lost Island if it did, right?

I think it’s an unlikely long-shot, but I guess it’s worthwhile to consider the early comparisons between Fringe’s Massive Dynamics and the Hanso/Dharma/Widmore Corporations from the Lostverse. I know that I love my fix of shadowy organisations!
