Fringe (I’m sensing a pattern)

13 02 2009

I’m sure most have you have heard of the show “Fringe” by now. I’ve been a bit lazy getting into it. I’ve heard people rave about how good it is and I’ve watched a few episodes, but haven’t had time to start from the first episode. Well tonight I was awake with nothing better to do, so I downloaded the Pilot. It seems decent, and I definitely plan to catch up on the rest of the episodes in time for the re-opening in April.

It seems to me though, that J.J. Abrams has some kind of fetish for female lead characters who are Federal agents, and who’s boyfriends get severely dead in the first episode. Also he seems to have a thing for main male characters who can go days without their beard getting longer, or without shaving. I guess the homeless look is in this decade. Oh, he also seems to have a fascination with terrible things happening involving planes. I’ve only seen a few episodes, but I get the feeling no one is ever going to actually be dead.

I’m going to go ahead and call it now, Walter is a polar bear, and Olivia is actually Jennifer Garner’s mother.
