I hope things aren't quite so obvious tonight on Fringe. Actually, I'm really nervous about Fringe. It has so much going for it, from being a creepy, weird sci-fi show to coming from J.J. Abrams to airing on the network that let The X-Files live on well past its prime. I'm all ready for tonight's premiere, I've invited friends over, I have some popcorn sitting ready to go, and beer on ice. I'm, inevitably, going to be disappointed. I fear as though I've set my expectations far too high for this series. I know I shouldn't have; despite it being all over our TV screens in primetime, sci-fi shows don't have a terribly good track record over the past few years. Yes, there are some major notable successes, but the failures are more numerous. For every first season of Heroes there is a second season of Heroes and a Threshold.
I have my fingers crossed though. And, not to worry, I'll report my findings, that I promise.
