FRINGE is a show that by design is not for everyone. It requires a different degree of passion, it requires a different degree of investment, it requires a different degree of attention. And we always said not everybody likes licorice, but the people who like licorice really like licorice and are passionate about it. So we’re making the show for those people.
— In honor of FRINGE’s fifth (and final) season renewal, I’m reminded of one of my favorite interview quotes from FRINGE executive producer Jeff Pinkner. (via marisaroffman)

The cast of FRINGE answers a fan question: “Which object would you take away with you from the set?”
Sorry, non-Fringe fans. Not because you don’t get this comic, but because you aren’t enjoying the best show on TV. This will likely be Fringe’s final season (a year sooner than J.J. Abrams would like), due to it being too fantastic to be profitable. This seems to be the fate of all original, thought-provoking, well acted (extremely well acted in the case of John “Please let me curl up in your grandpa cheeks” Noble), well produced sci-fi on television. Any show that refuses to dumb down it’s intensely complicated, yet expertly executed premise in order to reach a wider audience just isn’t commercially viable on TV.

- Hikinks Ensue. The state of television today doesn’t deserve such high quality shows like Fringe. Like the quote above says, I admire that Fringe is not compromising who it is in favor of reaching a wider audience. I’d rather it leave on it’s own terms then on those of others (of course, I’d rather it not leave at all). (via moremyselfthaniam
