Fringe

So another series premier this week. "Fringe" is a new show on Fox. I think it is yet another replacement for X-files. It has the same weird sciences vibe. However this show has the added advantage of starring Joshua Jackson! He actually did a good job. He plays the son of a scientist who is now in a mental institution. Wow, a truly mad scientist! Jackson's character is, of course, a genius with a 190 IQ. The father was into all sorts of weird sciences or psuedosciences that deal with the mind including mind readings and reanimation. It seems that father and son will be the science team on this show.

Have I yet to mention that the father's old lab mate is now the leader of huge international company in hi-tech sciences and is worth billions of dollars. Some quick foreshadowing has indicated that this big company will be the "bad guys" at least for a while.

This first episode was not terrible. I have yet to determine the story line/arc for the season but this show might be watchable. Might even be enjoyable but I do not like to base too much off of pilots. The second show is the real deal.

If you liked X-files and other sci-fi based dramas then you should give this a shot.
Overall the first
