There’s been much talk in the Fringe community about whether the show is better when it embraces serialized-mythology over standalone-procedural. While I’m sure we can all agree that we love Fringe, there does seem to be a format preference amongst fans.
But what do the creators think?
In an excellent interview with Alex Pappademas (GQ.com), the Bad Robot gang featuring JJ. Abrams, Alex Kurtzman, Roberto Orci, Damon Lindelof, Carlton Cuse and Bryan Burk talk openly about the creative process that goes into likes of Fringe, LOST and Alias, and explain the challenge of balancing standalone stories with overarching mythology.
This really is a fantastic interview. I’d say it’s a must read for all fans of Fringe, Lost, Alias or Bad Robot in general. Below the jump we post a taste of the interview with links to the full article.

At yesterday’s Television Critics Association, FOX gave journos a closer look at what Fringe‘s alternate reality has in store for would-be travellers, in the form of a newspaper – The New York News (similar to the New York Post version seen in the season 1 finale). Sci Fi Wire have been kind enough to provide a clearer picture of the newspaper, which we’ve edited for side-by-side comparison above.
As you can see, the front page provides a provocative idea of the subtle and vast differences between Over Here and Over There.
Below the jump Exec. Producer, Roberto Orci, offers more insight into where the show will go from here (spoiler alert):

With only six episodes remaining of a richly entertaining first season, a lot of us are wondering what we can expect to see on “Fringe” when the show returns from it’s current Idol-induced hiatus.
Scifi Wire have been speaking to co-creator Roberto Orci about some of the elements that season 1 may (or may not) bring closure to. Note. the following may contain spoiler hints:

The LA Times have a piece on Fringe co-producers, Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci (aka “Korci”), in which they talk about their partnership in crafting science-fiction productions such as Star Trek and Fringe. In truth it is Fringe-lite but worth a read if you’re a Trek fan, or if you want to gain some insight into what makes them tick as a partnership:
On a leafy hillside on the Universal Studios lot, childhood friends Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman share not just a bungalow but a single desk that sits beneath large letters that spell out “C-O-F-F-E-E” — vintage neon salvaged from an old diner. There, sitting face to face and finishing each other’s sentences, the screenwriters crank out tales of the fantastic for Hollywood, including two of this summer’s biggest popcorn films, “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” and “Star Trek,” as well as Fox’s eerie hit series “Fringe.”
The two met in their senior year at Crossroads School for Arts & Sciences, the Santa Monica private school that lists Amy Pascal, Michael Bay, Jack Black and Gwyneth Paltrow among its alumni, and their great bonding moment was their mutual passion for “sex, lies, and videotape,” the 1989 Steven Soderbergh film that became a signature moment in American independent film. There were, however, no giant robots or photon torpedoes in that Soderbergh script.
“We came from a place of passion for independent films and imagined ourselves writing films like that, but now, for better or worse, we have developed a reputation as guys who write ‘big’ movies,” Kurtzman said. “And I’d really like ‘good’ to also be an adjective that’s used. I don’t think they’re mutually exclusive. You really can do both.”
