Fringe Season 5: Premiere Title, Time Jump Revealed
With Fringe fans still dealing with the very surprising exit of Jeff Pinker as executive producer, we have fresh intel on the upcoming final season of this Fox drama.
The September 28 premiere will be titled Transilience Thought Unifier Model-11, a tidbit revealed by showrunner J.H. Wyman yesterday when he Tweeted a photo of that script's cover sheet.
Also on Twitter, meanwhile, star Joshua Jackson confirmed a major time jump ahead, something most fans presumed based on Peter and Walter having been trapped in amber for a couple decades.
"Do you think they'll have peacoats in 2036?" the actor asked.
John Noble echoed this sentiment in a chat with TV Line, saying at this weekend's Critics' Choice Television Awards that "found footage" might be used to refer viewers back to the previous universe/time line.
“Walter, Olivia, Astrid and Peter are insurgents, so we know all the dirty tricks that have been played against us," Noble teased of the 2036 world. "We’ll be learning from the past.”
Indeed, Olivia will be present in this return to the future, while Noble also said fans will once again see her and Peter's adult daughter, Etta.

c926Awesome episode. This is an exnlelect show. I wish I jumped on board sooner. I've got a lot to say so I'll keep it brief.I did like that they resolved my biggest complaint about the S2 finale, which was that it made the other world feel like a bad and evil place as opposed to another world fighting for it's own survival. Introducing the Taxi Driver for the episode, having Charlie and Lincoln go to help who they think is thier friend. Those little things added up. It still hasn't rid the vibe that they are the villains but they'll get there if they keep adding those human touches. But what I really love. It's answered things, it's set up things but they've made it very clear that there's no resolution yet. This story is still going and there will be a few twists and turns on the way. The most immediate comparison I want to make is probably with Smallville which not as strong in some aspects but it does do over arching stories with the moster of the week idea. And as much as I groan
