Here's an article by TVLine's Matt Webb Mitovich with some scoop on tonight's episode, which is Astrid-centric, directly from Jasika Nicole. Here's an excerpt from the article:
“The alternate Astrid has got Asperger’s, so she has some fundamentally different things about her that make her associate with … the rest of the world [differently],” says Nicole. “I don’t think that she necessarily wants to be closed off or wants to be awkward in conversations and social interactions. It’s just how she is.”
Yet somehow (“Maybe she’s heard other people talking?” Nicole ventures), Alt Astrid has the full 411 on her counterpart, and visiting her “is a really key element in figuring out what her next steps are” in getting through this difficult time. “She wants to see this other Astrid who probably has different relationships with the people in her life… to find out more about the could’ve/should’ve/would’ves.”
Nicole says that getting not just an Astrid-centric hour but one that features two of her was “technically and emotionally difficult,” and took twice as long to shoot versus a typical episode. Luckily, she got pulled aside at one point for some tips from costar Anna Torv, who has the most experience on pulling Fringe double duty. The end result, she says, “was really, really exciting and totally worth it.”
The article also talks a little bit about what's coming up with Astrid in the upcoming episodes.
