First Look Fringe

I think that if I were ever to meet or even see JJ Abrams in person I would turn into a blubbering idiot by professing my love for everything that he does. Yes I even like What About Brian? Well parts of it anyway. Really how does this man’s brain work? Why is he a freakin genius?

This week I got to see THE pilot of the fall season, Fringe. Why the capital “the” you ask? Because they spent around 10 million dollars to make it, it is JJ Abrams, it is pegged as the new X Files and for purely selfish reasons it takes place in Boston and Joshua Jackson is in it.

Why is it called Fringe? Well because the show deals with the Fringe sciences, you know not the science class you took in high school.

The pilot is two hours and I did think run a little long but it was all still great. The basic premise is a plane lands in Boston and everyone on board is dead, in a really gross way. Now the fun part why did everyone on the plane melt and can they save another agent whose skin has become like plastic and clear, by the way.

Enter Joshua Jackson and his whack job father. His Dad has been in a mental institution for years.

Won’t go into to many details, but there are twists, secret romances, and acid trip, something very matrix like and the creepy black dude from LOST.

If you are a fan of JJ’s like we are then you will enjoy Fringe. Check it out this fall.
