“Fringe” Will Give You The Creeps

The imagination of J.J. Abrams seems to be inexhaustible. The mastermind of hit TV series “Lost” and “Alias” has prepared yet another mind twisting show, due to premiere on Fox, Tuesday at 8 p.m. ET/PT.

Tomorrow is said to become today in “Fringe,” as it mainly focuses on the idea of eerie science and its radical effects, which tend to distort the line between now and then, us and them and the achievable and impossible.

“The show is coming out a time when every week we read or see some kind of potentially horrifying scientific breakthrough ... We are at a time where science is out of control,” J.J. Abrams told reporters in a conference call on Thursday, according to Reuters.

The pilot episode of the upcoming sci-fi drama opens in the clouds, literally speaking, as it takes viewers aboard a Boston-bound jetliner that unexpectedly faces a powerful blast.

After you figure out that the jet nonetheless lands undamaged at Logan Airport, you’ll breathe a sigh of relief. However, I warn you that relief will not last long. It will be gruesome to find out that all of the aircraft’s passengers have died because some kind of supernatural phenomenon turned their flesh into goo.

It’s time for FBI special agent Olivia Dunham (Australian actress Anna Torv) to enter the stage, together with Walter Bishop (John Noble), a grumpy elderly genius who has spent the past two decades of his life in an asylum and the only one who can encourage him into helping the FBI is his estranged son, Peter (“Dawson’s Creek’s” Joshua Jackson).

In spite of the fact that puzzling sci-fi occurrences in “Fringe” may seem rather far-fetched and mind-boggling, J.J. Abrams assures us nothing is too implausible or unbelievable in the upcoming series, as the simple “fiction” description might lead us to believe.

“A lot of the stuff that we’re talking about is at least within the realm of possibility, although we’re pushing it,” Abrams said. “The stuff we’re talking about now is not so much sci-fi as it is sci. The stuff that you never in a million years thought would actually be possible is happening every day,” he added, according to The New York Daily News.
