Fringe is on a four-week hiatus. That's the bad news.

But consider the positives, viewers:

1. When the series returns, it will air eight consecutive new episodes.
2. Producer Joel Wyman has teased the first of those installments, titled “A Short Story About Love," as the "perfect vision" of a Fringe episode.

Check out the official Fox preview for it now and join in the debate on last Friday's "The End of All Things." What did you think of where the show left us?
