Fringe
There's a war coming on Fringe. Two universes are crossing over and like the snow globes Nina Sharp (Blair Brown) showed us, it's not going to be pretty when they collide. But which side is good, and which is evil? Executive producers Jeff Pinkner and Joel Wyman discuss the "other side" in the clip below. They also touch on why Olivia (Anna Torv) has come back with some heightened powers and the man who may save her.

January Jones in Mad Men courtesy AMC
Some good news/bad news about AMC's Mad Men, which has been firing on all cylinders lately. The good news: The show has already won four creative arts Emmys (including cinematography, main title credits, art direction and, yes, hairstyling), and let's hope for even more good fortune come Sunday. More good news: Fans of Mad Men no longer have to choose between watching a new episode this Sunday or the Emmy telecast to see how the show fares. AMC has wisely decided to bench the show this weekend (replacing the scheduled new episode with a replay of the excellent "Three Sundays" episode from earlier this season).

Cheers to J.J. Abrams for casting another dy-no-mite actress in one of his shows. The man who brought us Keri Russell (Felicity), Jennifer Garner (Alias) and Evangeline Lilly (Lost) has discovered another kick-ass femme with Fringe's Anna Torv. The little-known Aussie displays a flawless American accent and brings a welcome gravitas to Abrams' outlandish sci-fi rookie as an FBI agent investigating X-Files-ish mysteries. (Plus, Abrams found a good excuse to get Torv to strip down her soaking-wet skivvies in the pilot.) If only slightly miscast costar Joshua Jackson could keep Pacey...er, pace. • Share your own raves and rants about other shows on the Reader Cheers & Jeers discussion board.• We may feature your Cheer or Jeer on TVGuide.com or in TV Guide magazine!

Fringe, the most buzzed-about show of the Fall, held its premiere party in NYC Monday night in an old loft warehouse. In something straight out of a mystery/thriller, the building was unmarked and security men in dark suits patrolled the front as fashionable guests strutted inside. Once I made it past check-in, I was escorted around a corner to board a freight elevator that was so — er — (I'm trying to be polite here) rough around the edges, I thought it might take us down to some creepy bat cave instead of a hot premiere party. The space, which was big enough to fit an entire party in itself, went slowly up nine stories... I laughed to myself: “This is so J.J. Abrams to have the premiere of his new show in such a clandestine venue.”The elevator doors opened to foggy air, blue lights illuminating the seating and Fringe images projected all over the walls. It was kinda like the inside of a spaceship, but with cocktails! There, I met up with our own Mickey O’C...
