I saw the Fringe update this morning and it made my day! AMAZING!
So happy About fringe!! I was really happy with the episode last week!
Two things that super excite me in this post: 1)Django Unchained (I had not heard of it but sounds amazing) and 2) a Jack White score. Score!
I’m glad Fringe is getting a chance to wrap up but I’m sad it’s getting canceled. Such a brilliant show. The perfect time to dress as Fauxlivia for DragonCon I suppose!
Yea, the fact that Jack White is doing the score just got pretty excited to see The Lone Ranger. I’m curious to hear what a score by him would sound like.
Enjoy this site so much. Great updates and visually attractive. Is Supernatural ending?
Not sure yet. Haven’t heard yet if it’s been renewed.
