Well, I’m officially excited about JJ Abrams’ new show Fringe, how about you?
An X-Files with the mythology laid out from the get-go, Fringe promises to ride grody special effects, the chemistry of its oddball trio, and Lance Reddick’s basso profundo to the genre promised land. After watching the pilot, we can only say: More, please.
Pacey aside, you’ve got Lance Reddick (The Wire, Lost) and John Noble (The Madness-of-King-Lear-ish Denthor in LOTR). You’ve got sci-fi, horror, and creepy mythology all rolled into one nerdtastic ball of JJ Abrams goodness. I’m usually not one to get excited about pilots, but in this case, I’ll make an exception.
