#FringeFanFriday: @Yogabon

Hello Fringe Family,

It is time for another #FringeFanFriday! Congrats to @Yogabon for being selected to participate in this weeks edition.

You can read her interview below....





1. What country are you from?

USA

2. In what year did you discover Fringe and what led you to watch it?

2008, I love Genre TV.

3. What is your top 3 favorite episodes?

Very difficult question. "The Arrival" hooked me. 




"There's More Than One Of Everything", 



"White Tulip", 





"The End Of All Things". Season 4 was fantastic. Improves upon each rewatch.





4. What is one of your favorite moments of the entire series?



Olivia breaking down as she realizes Alt Olivia had been wearing her clothes. But again there are so many. 

5. Which character do you most identify with and why?

Peter's real mother. She loved deeply and against all hope. I think she really saved both universes.




6. If you could change anything about the finale, what would it be?

Only that it had happened after 7 seasons instead of 5.  Seriously it was amazing! I would have loved more Etta, Sam Weiss and less Michael.

7. If you could own any object or prop from the show what would it be?

Gene the cow, of course ;-)

8. If you could meet your Doppelganger what would you be most eager to learn about them?

If they have children and what they learned from either having them or not.

9. Have you ever met any of the cast members and if so, what was your encounter like?

Yes!  I got to meet, Jasika, Seth and Michael Cerveris at Dragon Con 2013.  They were very gracious and spent several minutes with me and another Fan.  It was quiet in the Walk of Fame because the parade was going on.  They were my first autographs ever and signed my Fringe Files book.

Please be respectful of @Yogabon's personal photo.

And the Magnificent John Noble at Dragon Con 2015.  He was so very charming and 7 of us Fringe Podcast Fans took a photo with him.  He knelt down to accommodate us all.  I ended up walking in with him to the Walk of Fame one of the days and he even seemed to remember me and was so very pleasant! 


10. Thank you for taking the time to be apart of our #FringeFanFriday, Is there anything you would like to add about your overall Fringe experience?

The best thing of all about being a Fringe Fan was the amazing community I found when I found The Fringe Podcast with Darrell and Clint.  We would live chat during podcast recordings and the airing of the show.  I even got to co-host a summer rewatch episode.
We came together as a community to watch the Finale together in Oklahoma City and many of us commenced a Friday night rewatch for 18 months after the series ended, live chatting on The Fringe Podcast live streaming. 
We rendezvou'd again for the Dragon Con's and when members suffered losses we have supported each other by sending white tulips or supporting Go-fund me campaigns. From our humble fan community many terrific podcasters have sprung covering other shows as well.
For about 2 years I've been tweeting #FringeFriday tweets every FridayI also still tweet quotes during my own rewatches. Fringe Forever!




Thank you so much, Yogabon! You can follow her on Twitter: @Yogabon

We believe that the Fringe Fandom is a very special community of people that we hope to unite through our #FringeFanFriday participants.

We will feature another fan next Friday!

Have a wonderful weekend and keep looking up!

#FringeFanFriday: @VittoriaBishop

Hello Fringe Family!

Last Friday we sent out a tweet for our new #FringeFanFriday series and asked that you retweet our message for a chance to be apart of the fun!

We then randomly chose a person out of all the people that participated and Fringe fan, Vittoria Bishop was chosen!

You can read her special interview below.....





1. What country are you from?
Italy, a small town near the wonderful Venice.

2. In what year did you discover Fringe and what led you to watch it?

In 2009 on a small local TV station, where I fell in love with it and then I downloaded all of the original series from Torrent and watched it with subs.

3. What is your top 3 favorite episodes?

"The Pilot", it literally captured my mind.  


"Lysergic Acid Diethylamide",  I love the way the Fringe team does whatever it takes to recover Olivia from inside her mind.  I also think of that episode as a tribute to the beautiful movie, "Inception".



"A Short Story About Love",  Because we finally get to see Olivia and Peter together again.




4. What is one of your favorite moments of the entire series?



When Peter discovers that he is from the Alt-Universe....WOW! I love the depth of drama that it brought to the show. 

5. Which character do you most identify with and why?


Between Olivia and AltOlivia, to say it with color:  Blue + White = Light blue. :) 




6. If you could change anything about the finale, what would it be?

Oh, if I could I would eliminate the entire 5th season, but I respectfully accepted the decision of the creators.

7. If you could own any object or prop from the show what would it be?

The Cortexiphan!!!! :)

8. If you could meet your Doppelganger what would you be most eager to learn about them?

If they are more calm and patient.

9. Have you ever met any of the cast members and if so, what was your encounter like?

I have never met any of them, although Anna Torv was in Orvieto in 2008 (but it is far from Venice).

10. Thank you for taking the time to be apart of our #FringeFanFriday, Is there anything you would like to add about your overall Fringe experience?

I can say that there is no TV series that I will miss as much as Fringe. I'm proud to be a small part of it with your #FringeFanFriday, and am thankful for all the people that helped come up with this fantastic idea.

Bonus Question: Do you own any Fringe merchandise?


I own a copy of the fabulous, "September's Notebook"  by T.Bennett and P.Terry.
