Ok, it’s almost September. It’s almost the start of the new season of Fringe. I’m so excited!
Here’s the promo trailer
The first time I watched this series, I was a bit resistant because it was hyped as the new “X-Files”, and to me there cannot be another X-Files. There can be no other Fox Mulder or Dana Scully. It also took me a while to realize that it is indeed inspired by The X-Files (which was inspired by other earlier shows as well), but Fringe is no copycat. It is an entirely different series, and coming from JJ Abrams, you can expect flashy scenes and tons of mind-bending details in this sci-fi adventure that’s turning out to be a really big hit. Now, Joshua Jackson’s Peter Bishop is not even trying to channel Mulder because he’s no FBI agent. Anna Torv’s Special Agent Olivia Dunham, another woman on TV who doesn’t need apidexin (all her running and jumping around , while waving her gun, must be enough workout already), may be as strong minded and tough as Dana Scully, but she’s no medical doctor. A relationship between these two may be in the works, but their dynamic is made more interesting by their relationship to Peter’s father, the eccentric but brilliant scientist, and quite hilarious without meaning to, Walter Bishop. This is the stuff good TV is made of.
