The TV Addict with J.J. Abrams at the FRINGE Premiere Party, New York August 2008

1. THE TV ADDICT HEARTS J.J. ABRAMS:
J.J. Abrams gave the TV Addict a cupcake. A scrumptious chocolate cupcake. No really. As a mea culpa for arriving thirty minutes late to New York’s Gansevoort hotel, where Abrams, alongside fellow FRINGE co-creators Roberto Orci, Alex Kurtzman and Executive Producers Bryan Burk and Jeff Pinkner were kind enough to take the time to talk up their new series [premiering tonight at 8PM on FOX], Abrams brought cupcakes from New York’s famed Magnolia Bakery. So not only is Abrams the genius behind one of my all-time favorite shows ? ALIAS. He helped co-create LOST and FELICITY, is currently putting the final touches on a little movie you might have heard of called STAR TREK and gave me a cupcake! Which I’ll soon be auctioning off on eBay… [kidding!]

2. FRINGE HAS AN ACTUAL PLANNED OUT END GAME:
Rest assured frustrated AAA fans, that’s ALIAS ADDICTS ANONYMOUS for those still scratching their head over what the deal with Rambaldi was. FRINGE executive producer Alex Kurtzman promises that there is already a planned end game to the show’s mythology and more importantly that the ending is very flexible in terms of when we get there. Eaborated Kurtzman, “If they [FOX] let us run for twelve seasons you’ll see it in season twelve. If they take us off the air after nine episodes you’ll see it there.”
