Series Coda: A Farewell to Fringe

The network allowed the show to remain on the air long enough to finish on its terms, unlike a lot of shows that either go on far too long where you kinda have to remember two or three or four years back—when it was great—or shows that get cut off way too early.  This is that very rare animal that actually … got to live its life.

… .

There’s no way that the show would ever have stayed on the air if the fans hadn’t been as vocal and committed and wonderful as they’ve been. And every time someone tells me that they’re a fan of Fringe, I just feel this—you know—desperate gratitude to them because they are the reason the show was allowed to stay on.

J.J. Abrams’ comments here always remind me of the hashtag campaigns started by Fringenuity during season 4 to help convince Fox et al. that Fringe had a rabidly loyal following that justified giving the series a fifth and final season.  It started in January 2012 before Back to Where You’ve Never Been (#CrossTheLine) and was picked up by Fox starting with A Short Story About Love, when #WhereYouBelong appeared in the lower right corner of the screen during the broadcast.  I hopped on the bandwagon at Welcome to Westfield (#BreakingOut), joining Twitter for the sole purpose of helping to keep Fringe on the air.  Such exciting times, being part of the Resistance!

I’ve been sitting at my desk for the last hour not knowing what to do. I didn’t know Aimee so it’s not my place to say anything. I hope I don’t come across as insensitive as I write this. 

I’d like to thank Aimee. I’d like to thank everyone at Fringenuity. These people dedicated time to save our show. They organized countless campaigns and let FOX know that our fandom was not going down without a fight. 

Fringe was the first fandom family I was a part of. And as the ratings dropped lower each week, it would have been so easy to let the network get away with saying “we’re not in the business of losing money.”

But Fringenuity didn’t let that happen. They led the fandom and brought our show an opportunity to end properly. It gave me more time with my family. 

Though I didn’t know Aimee, she was and still is part of my Fringe family. I wish I had known her. 

She will be missed.

guys...it's FRINGE Friday...the FINAL FRINGE FRIDAY.

I'm going to save my "Farewell Fringe" post until after the finale airs. I can't begin to form any thoughts right now because this show and the people I've met because of it mean too much to me!

So for now, I will direct you to More Than One Of Everything, Fringenuity's hub site, to read up on the twitter protocol for tomorrow night's #KeepLookingUp event and to grab yourself an icon from myself or any one of the other great artists we have in the Icon Matrix! Remember, tweeting starts ONE HOUR EARLIER than normal due to the earlier starting time on the episode.

I will post all of my icons on here eventually, but for now i will post one of the things I am MOST excited about seeing tomorrow night: Linc and Liv, older and badassier than ever! 

Enjoy!
