Joshua Jackson network

If you’ve been flying the friendly skies lately, you may have noticed a recent write-up featuring Josh as the “Comeback Kid”. I’ll be getting the magazine soon (thanks, LT!) to provide higher quality scans, but here’s the interview and some lower quality images of Josh featured on the cover:

It’s a brief bit of Josh’s section of the Canadian Haiti telethon:

Per the FutonCritic.com:

Tomorrow night is a new episode of Fringe that has FOX all a twitter with promoting the heck out of it. They’ve had pseudo-Observers all over America popping up out in public to get the message across. I think this means you need to check it out tomorrow night.

To help with the promotion, Josh was interviewed by Canada’s eTalk News which aired tonight.

Josh also did a great interview with TV.com:
Fringe’s Joshua Jackson, Master of the Universe(s)

And is this all leading up to inter-dimensional war?
“Yeah, the usual. [Laughs.] I’m not sure that a full-fledged tanks and bombs war is ever where the show is headed. The advanced shapeshifter soldiers that are already here—I think that’s more the idea. I think it’ll be much more cloak-and-dagger, and not some fleet lands on our shores. I definitely think the show is headed in that direction, and that confrontation is the whole purpose behind the show. But I don’t think [Fringe] is ever going to be Battlestar Galactica, no full-fledged infantry and shock troops war. Most of it will happen in the back alleys.” Ed. note: These are Jackson’s personal thoughts, not necessarily what the writers have in store.
