Fringe + Leonard Nimoy = Awe.Some.

Heard some awesome news this weekend – Leonard Nimoy is going to reprise his role as William Bell as much as he wants to in Fringe’s second season.

The show started a bit slowly, but built up to an incredibly astoundingly jaw-dropping finale that blew my mind not one, but TWO times.

Part of that, of course, was Bell’s office, with a lovely view of the Twin Towers. And the recognition that Bell was in another universe, a parallel universe where history took a slightly different route.

Most of the season, show creators said at the TCA panels last week, will take place in the universe we know. But some will take place “over there,” and events in both universes will affect the others.

Wonder what happened to the version of Walter Bishop in the other universe? If he could bring Peter back from Over There to here, what does that mean about Peter’s family Over There? Did Walter Bishop and his wife die? Did he just snatch Peter from them without telling his doppelganger?

Hmmm. Something tells me the answer to this question is not going to be simple. Of course.

Nimoy’s already shot one episode of Season Two.  w00t!
