until they turn blue
Around here, we count Australians among our brits. So today’s honors go without a doubt to John Noble for his incredible performance in last night’s final episode of the beloved “Fringe.” I haven’t been so moved by a television show since the finale of “Lost.” If you’ve had a chance to see the 2-hour ending to Fringe’s 5-season run, you won’t mind the visual spoilers here. Read the accompanying text, and I’ll pass the tissues.
The big TV shakedown of 2012 has taken place and–
Of the 5 shows I watch….Part 1
Three got renewed for another season–
1) “How I Met Your Mother”
Lovely brit Nazanin Boniadi [Nora] was born in Tehran, Iran. Her parents moved to London when she was an infant.
2) “Fringe”
Henry Ian Cusick is the true brit here; John Noble is Australian, but I think that still counts.
3) “Scandal”
….of course.
…and in the same vein, today’s guest brit is Australian [still a brit in my way of thinking] John Noble. As scientist Walter Bishop on ‘Fringe’, John does an incredible job of looking far more wizened than his actual 63 years. I’d love to see Mr. Rickman [who is 66] in such a role some day!
