I'll keep this short - Fringe was fantastic. Fringe is exactly what you expect it to be - a new X-Files with a hint of Lost. The story involves an exclusive branch of the FBI, a corporate juggernaut, a "pattern" (not a numeric pattern this time - 4 8 15 16 23 42 anyone?), and a series of events that can only be explained through "fringe science."
The story has been laid down with a great setup. The protagonist, Dr. Bishop, has an equal counterpart, Dr. Bell. An antagonist who not only avoided being instituitonalized, but gained notoriety as being the founder/head of a large corporation named Massive Dynamics - which, of course, has great power and many secrets of its own.
The contrast of these two individuals sets the grounds for a storyline with great potential. How will things turn out? Which one really is the antagonist? Will things change as the story goes on? This is JJ Abrams after all, perhaps there is "more than meets the eye!" Pun completely intended...Don't get it? Sheesh, do I have to explain everything - Alex Kurtzman & Roberto Orco (Transformers) are writers of this show.
Watch this show, tell everyone!
