Fringe is op dit ogenblik de meest coolste sci-fi TV serie, want het heeft de weride vibe van de X-Files en een verdomd goed verhaal. Nu heeft de website Fearnet.com een interview gehad met de producers Joel Wyman en Jeff Pinkner, en daar uit komen we te weten dat er een show off tussen Walter en Walternate gaat komen.

The Fringe universe was really turned on its head with this "crisis on parallel Earths" storyline and viewers have been wondering if you were done with doppelgangers. Obviously this week's episode "Immortality" proves you're not. But are we just catching up with these characters, or is there a crossover between the two worlds?

Joel: No, we are definitely going to keep it alive. That's definitely part of our storytelling. You haven't seen the last of those characters. It's funny because right away, Jeff and I said, "This is cool. We're the only show that gets to do two shows about one show." Our goal was to make a mythology over there that was so compelling people wanted to watch that too. We feel we were successful in that regard, so we aren't in any rush to get rid of them. And it plays a huge part in our unfolding year.

Jeff: Our goal with this series is to start at the tip of the iceberg and see that these universes are much larger. We knew from the beginning Peter was from the other side. We knew we had to earn it. You can't just dump a concept like that on people. It would just be hard to swallow all in one bite and the more you tease and let the story unfold from the characters' point of view, the deeper the return in interest. We've been planting seeds from the earliest episodes and the network and the studios were initially supportive, but resistant to the idea we were going to spend a lot of time telling stories over there. Now, they've come full circle and when they read stories that take place over there, we sold them in the exact way we intended to. Those stories are compelling despite the fact Olivia, Peter, and Walter don't necessarily appear in them.

We saw the two Olivias duke it out, so what kind of confrontation can we expect between Walter and Walternate?

Jeff: There will be a confrontation. It may not be this season. There's also the possibility these two men are going to have to figure out a way to get along to save both universes.

It almost makes sense for them to combine their intellectual pools to find a solution.

Jeff: Or to fight off a third party. Or just to find a way to heal Peter, who's dying. I'm not leaking anything here but if I was a fan, those are the different things I'd be considering.
