Here’s a look at 3 of the promotional posters that’s being put out by Fox. Is it just me or is Fox using sex to sell Fringe? Otherwise, why would 2 of the 3 posters be all about a beautiful woman: Anna Torv (Olivia Dunham) and the the third poster she’s front and center.

Ok, why ask why? I liked them and you probably did too.

Enjoy the Fringe Promotional Posters featuring Anna Torv (Olivia Dunham)

Can you talk about how your character, Peter, gets sucked into this paranormal world on Fringe?

He is drawn in because of his father [a research scientist who’s in a mental institution, played by John Noble]. Fringe isn’t like The X-Files, which dealt with the paranormal. The basis for this show is hard science but taken to a sci-fi level. So at some point earlier in Peter’s father’s life, before he had been institutionalised, he had been conducting these far-out fringe science experiments. His experiments [are now of interest to the FBI] and they need access to him. I get drawn in to break him out of his shell.

J.J. always weaves these complicated and intriguing relationships. How does Peter get along with his team mates?

Well, you just hit the nail on the head. The relationships are very multi-faceted and complicated. Usually, on a TV show, you get the geek, the jock and the hot girl. On this show, each one of these characters is allowed to have many of those facets inside of themselves so the relationships are constantly changing depending on the situation…They’re unusually deep and rich for a TV show or a film actually.

So is Fringe the new X-Files or Lost?

Lost is a thing unto itself. I don’t know if there will ever be a TV show like that again. Even if Fringe has that success or level of engagement with the audience, this isn’t a mystery show. When it comes to Lost, people are obsessed with peeling away the layers and trying to get one step ahead. While there are mysteries inside our show and will certainly be ongoing elements, I don’t know if it replicates the intrigue Lost has.

If you remember at the beginning of X-Files, it was all about Mulder having to find his sister. That was the driving force and then there was all these strange paranormal things happening around them. This isn’t that show. Because it’s science based, taken to the level of science fiction, there will never be the werewolf episode, we will never have a Jigsaw Man unless there is a scientific explanation, which would be a bit of a stretch.

MTV’s 25th annual Video Music Awards will be hosted by comedian/actor Russell Brand and will air live, on Sunday, September 7, 2008 at 9PM (Live ET/Tape Delayed PT)

Britney actually looked good in this video and almost seemed normal, but considering it’s Britney I’m pretty sure she’ll almost forever be fine to put on Pure TV Freaks. One look at Russell Brand’s hair and you know he’s a classic TV Freak.

This video is unreal. It makes me think that it’s not real. I’m sure it’s enhanced with a little sound, but Chris Chambers is incredible if he really did this. Just watch Chris Chambers at work:

Oh yes, and for all those Fantasy Sports fans, Fantasy Football is almost here.

As Rocky mentioned in my previous post, Michael Phelps could have possibly offered a more exciting moment at the Olympic games. You can watch the video on NBC

I would still possibly argue that the other is more exciting, because Jason Lezak wasn’t the famous Michael Phelps. Plus, the way he came back on the swimmer was unbelievable. Michael Phelps was suppose to come back at the end and finish well. It was just a question of whether he could come all the way back or not.

I will say that Phelps 100m Fly win was the closest race I’ve ever seen and one where you thought that he’d lost until you saw the flags come out showing that he won. Plus, his mom and coach’s reactions are priceless.

The Olympics is quite possibly some of the best Sports TV of all.
