Well folks, the good news is that after two very long sleepless nights waiting for something to happen on the ‘Complete the Pattern’ viral site, it turns out the answer was probably there all along.

If you replace the word ‘site’ in the address bar with ‘phase2′ the screen changes to this:

.

The bad news is – it turns out the whole thing is just a sweepstakes.  Unfortunately, if you are not a resident of the US, this is as far as you can go.  I guess they think that there are no Fringe fans outside of the good ole US of A.  Anywho…I have taken the liberty of entering the sweepstakes and taking images of every screen so that everyone can participate in the fun.

After you enter all of your information, the next screen that comes up is a video screen.  You can view the video at the bottom of the post.

.

The second screen that comes up is this screen:

.

When you hit the ‘CLICK TO COMPLETE THE PATTERN’ button, the following screen comes up:

.

It’s a puzzle.  When you over over one of the boxes along the top, a drop-down with several symbols appears.  The idea is to choose the symbol that matches the name on the box.  I have included images of the five boxes and the choices for you so everyone gets a shot at ‘completing the pattern’.  The solution is shown after the jump.

O.K. so it’s ‘0d + 1h + 17m + 49s‘ according to the website and I find myself just full of child-like giggles.  It occurs to me how easily I am amused and I wonder if I am the only person refreshing the screen every two minutes or so.

So, how do I keep myself occupied until then…I start surfing.

- The first thing I find is that nothing is happening with the ‘There is More‘ viral site.  There has been no activity on it since May.  There is nothing new on the Fox Fringe site, no bio for our new character Amy Jessup played by Meghan Markle, no new ‘Deep in the Lab’ videos.  Nothing new on Case 0091.  Massive Dynamic‘s website hasn’t changed a bit.  What Up?  If it wasn’t for the questionable site ‘Fou Trust‘  this summer would have been a complete bust!  I guess it’s no wonder that I am so excited about the new viral site, let’s hope it actually pans out.

- I found a cool video on facebook from last year that I had never seen before with some stunning visuals.  You can check it out here.

- I also discovered that the producers may be offering prizes for the ‘Complete the Pattern’ viral contest.  According to examiner.com, it could be a visit to the Fringe set.  READY, SET, GO people!

- According to Production Weekly’s twitter, filming for season 2 will start June 24th in Vancouver, Canada.

.

- According to Spoiler TV, there will be a new cast member in Season 2.

Question: Is it true that Fringe will be adding a new cast member next season? –Izebel
Ausiello: Yes, ’tis true. Producers are currently casting a new female agent to replace Kirk Acevedo’s Charlie. The character is described as brash, outspoken, quick-witted, and capable, and possesses a “deep core belief” in the wonders of the universe. Translation: She’s a Mulder.

IT’S US!! It’s like we’re on tv…I love it.

Last month I wrote a post on the massive-dynamic.org video.  There was a lot o speculation about the apple scene.  Was it a deleted scene, or perhaps a scene from an upcoming episode?  Well, I found it.  Last summer FOX released a music video for Fringe.  About 20 second in, you will find our mysterious apple scene.

.

.

The video features Ror-Shak and their cover of The Cure’s “A Forest”.  It’s an interesting video, and kind of neat to watch after the first season has ended and you know what some of the things mean.

‘FRINGE’ CO-CREATOR J.J. ABRAMS SPILLS THE BEANS ON NIMOY APPEARING IN THE SEASON FINALE AND SEASON 2 HINTS

.

NABBING LEONARD NIMOY TO APPEAR AS THE CONTROVERSIAL FIGUREHEAD WILLIAM BELL ON FRINGE?

.

“I called him, essentially begging him,” says Abrams. “I told him, we’re doing this show, he knew of it, hadn’t seen it and I explained that there was a critical character who had been mentioned throughout the first season including the pilot and it was a big deal for the show. Not just where he came from, but the back story of where it’s going. [So I said] ‘it would be an honor if he would consider playing the part.’  He was open to the idea, but wanted to see the show and see the pages. I was thrilled when he called back saying it was intriguing and interesting – that’s how we got him to return to the role of Spock. We pitched him. There was interest and intrigue.”
