Finally there is a television show that actually makes the viewers think! "Fringe" makes all of its viewers walk the line between what is real, and what is possible. Understanding that television is fiction is probably the only way people are able to sleep, after any of these exciting episodes.After each episode I am left with shock of how the writers were able to suck me into another episode flawlessly "Fringe was able to incorporate a small amount of romance to create the attachment with our main character. I say small amount since her love interest played a minor role in the story, but was able to show the viewers how strong she is. The family drama between the psychotic scientist and his genius son has its own story within the main story. It is unbelievable how all of the unexplainable events that go on during each episode are related to the psychotic scientist's experiments seventeen years earlier. Thinking about what may be possible makes the viewers wonder what our government is truly up to...and how long have they been up to it! I am sure most people can believe our governement funds experimental weapons, and are testing them in the most unusual ways. The eye opener is how much of that testing and experimentation is being done to unsuspecting adults and children. It is terrifying to think that the wealthy, that are in power are able to take advantage of the less fortunate, whether it is monetary or not. Television shows and movies like "Fringe" should really be more of an eye opener to the American public! We can all believe that it is not true, but where do the writers get the ideas for such a shocking show! Fox is doing a wonderful job with the limited commercials...I only have time to refill my drink and snack before enjoying more of the story. The short teasers that brief the viewers on the following episodes give just enough information. I am able to keep it fresh in my mind all week while I wait for the next episode to come on. I am usually on the phone to discuss the episode and the sneak peek! Placing "Fringe" in the time slot to follow "House" was brilliant. They already have an audience that is looking to be wowed, and they surpass it each week! Joshua Jackson was the reason I bothered to watch "Fringe" in the first place, but the whole cast as a whole make this show a winner. I look forward to all of the upcoming episodes! I can't wait to see how they blow my mind next week!
