The panel at Comic-Con proved to be quite tight-lipped about what will happen on season 5 of Fringe. But we did manage to get two mini-scoops.
If you aren’t a fan of spoilers, don’t go any further….

Fringe is probably the one drama on TV that I never miss (although a good season of True Blood can almost rival it). So when die-hard fans like me filled Hall H, we had many things to cheer about even though we only have 13 episodes left.
First, that the series did get a half-season renewal despite low ratings, so the story arcs could be completed. And can you believe with those low ratings, that the audience for the show could still fill the largest venue at Comic-Con?
watch because stone cold says so!

“Be here now.” Ram Dass
Living in the moment, another specialty of dogs that humans fail at regularly, is Wilfred’s lesson for Ryan this week. Wilfred’s right. We do spend too much time worrying about the future and the things we don’t have and not enough time enjoying our lives, although I do think I would still pass on admiring the artistry of his latest bit of “business”. Is it true, though, that’s it’s their noses, and their insistence on sniffing everything in existence, that keeps dogs in the moment?
The major networks are all preempting regular programming this evening to cover the awful tragedy that occurred early this morning in Aurora, Colorado. A gunman opened fire in a midnight opening of “The Dark Knight Rises” and killed 12 people and injured at least 59 more.
TheTwoCents would like to offer our condolences to the individuals and families of all those involved.

Many of my friends have said to me, “Why did YOU” go to Comic Con? You aren’t into comics.” True. But in all reality, Comic Con is no longer just a comics convention. My best description of Comic Con now is that it is a celebration of pop culture. I went, as I tell my friends, “to join in the pop culture party!”. For me, this was also a trip about doing something outside of my normal comfort zone. Over the past few years I haven’t been as comfortable in crowds, or hanging out with people who are outside my close circle of friends. So, this was an attempt to change some of that and grow a bit as well.
I bought my ticket to Comic Con in approximately March of this year when they went on sale. Last year, I considered going, but did not have the knowledge of when/where to get tickets. This year, though, I was prepared. As soon as I got the email from Comic Con (you had to first sign up for a Comic Con User Account) with the on sale date/time, I made sure that I would be available. I had prepared myself to not get a ticket, because I heard how quickly they sell out. Luckily, though, after a little over an hour wait time online, I was able to purchase a 4 day pass with preview night.
who will win?
Kevin McHale currently is best known for playing Artie Abrams, the wheelchair bound tenor on Glee. The Texan has also been a part of a boy band, NLT (short for Not Like Them), who broke up in 2009. I remember him appearing in the infamous “Launch Party” episode of The Office when Michael took his pizza delivery boy character hostage because he wouldn’t honor a coupon. Kevin also recently appeared alongside cast mate Darren Criss in Katy Perry’s “TGIF (Last Friday Night)” video. But this Sunday, Kevin will again be hosting the Teen Choice Awards, this time with childhood friend Demi Lovato. We had a chance to talk to him during a recent conference call about the awards.
TheTwoCents: What can viewers expect when you co-host the awards? Have you and Demi been working together?

Last week saw Rebecca, the Anson plant in Michael’s CIA team from the season finale, kidnap Sam. Anson’s got Rebecca’s brother Trent as leverage, and Team Westen were spared death in exchange for helping get Anson off Trent’s trail.
This episode sees the team branching off as Michael tries to be everywhere at once freeing Trent and freeing Fiona.

Someone had to fall on the sword. I just expected Harvey to grab the sword away at the final moment. That didn’t happen. I’m mourning along with Louis – for different reasons. This was a gloomy and I’m feeling the aftermath.
There were no winners in this episode. Pearson Hardman is going to grieve for some time. Let’s just hope this is temporary and that skeevy Travis Tanner will be banished from Harvey’s clean Central Park NYC kingdom (you know Central Park isn’t that clean – unless there’s a portion of the park reserved for the 1%).

One of the little known secrets of Comic-Con is that stars love the event too. Way down deep, many of them are super geeks. At the Stan Lee panel, Mark Hamill admitted to being a scifi fan before long he starred in Star Wars.
That’s why many of them try their best to walk the vendor hall incognito.
