"Fringe showrunner Jeff Pinkner has dropped hints about the upcoming third season finale. He told the New York Post that events will &amp;quot;unfurl in a very unexpected way for the characters and the audience&amp;quot;. &amp;quot;With as much humility as I can muster, I will tell you that I feel like this season start in a really strong place and it continues to delight us,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;Some of the stories coming up are really fun and exciting.&amp;quot; He added that viewers will &amp;quot;absolutely&amp;quot; see the Doomsday Machine that is linked to Peter (Joshua Jackson) be activated before the season&amp;#039;s end. &amp;quot;To me, surprise is a good means of storytelling, but sometimes giving the audience what they expect in an unexpected way is more satisfying,&amp;quot; he explained. &amp;quot;As an audience member, I love guessing ahead on stories I care about. That&amp;#039;s how our minds indicate they&amp;#039;re really engaged.&amp;quot; Pinkner also confirmed that the Fringe production team are still planning ahead for future seasons, despite concerns about the show&amp;#039;s ratings. &amp;quot;We have six to eight seasons worth of material,&amp;quot; he confirmed. &amp;quot;We see it as having certain chapters that would enrich the overall story, but aren&amp;#039;t necessary to tell the overall story. God willing, the network allows us the time to tell our complete story.&amp;quot; Fringe returns to Fox this Friday at 9/8c. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
