Fringe: S106 The Cure

Fresh from the stunning news of being picked up for a whole season of 22 episodes the Fringe episode The Cure carries on in the same brilliant fashion of the recently aired eps The Cure deals with "a woman with a rare disease resurfaces in suburban Massachusetts and inexplicably causes excruciating pain and subsequent death to those she encounters." Puts the 'yuck' factor for blood and gore at about 6 outa 10.

'Fringe' Gets a Ratings Boost in the US

Neilson's Ratings in the US report a massive 59% jump in the ratings for the second episode in the new series Fringe. 13.2 million viewers tuned in to The Same Old Story a mediocre but significant rise on last week's 9 million viewers.

The episode aired after the premiere episode of the fifth season of House MD and is seen as the catalyst for the jump in Fringe viewers holding 91% of the viewers at House. House itself was down 28% from last year's premiere episode.

"According to Fox, the Fringe spike is the largest ratings jump a new series has made from Week 1 to 2 on any broadcast network in more than a decade."

Fingers crossed for a spike/climb next week with the third episode Ghost Network. We here at Gasbo are not privvy to the AusTam ratings in Australia and hold it in contempt along with it's owners.

Anna Torv Interview at the Channel

Ne Multus: "Anna Torv has a lot to be excited about. She went from being an Australian actress unknown in the US to the star of the new show from J.J. Abrams. Now that the season premiere is under her belt, Torv sat down to give us the skinny on her adventures so far on the set of Fringe.

"The Channel: It seems like one minute you were in Australia and the next you were in New York shooting Fringe and now you're on billboards all over the place – how did that happen?

"Anna: It happened so quickly. I tested in Australia and thanks to technology today people in LA were able to see the test within hours of me doing it. It opens the world up for Australian actors, English actors and even Americans too. I auditioned and then had lots of talks on the telephone. I went to LA and met with J.J. and the other Bad Robot guys. Then I flew the next morning to Toronto and we started filming within a couple of days. It was pretty fast and furious but really exciting too." Read more >>
