To all that is weird!

Are you watching Fringe? It is a smart, scary, wonderful show that no one I know cares about. The show is about the Fringe Unit of the FBI, which investigates unusual crimes. I spend the entire hour on the edge of my seat, and then an hour the next day lurking in forums to see if I caught the same hints and details as everyone else.

I expected to be disappointed by Fringe for two reasons. First, they cast Joshua Jackson in one of the lead roles, Peter Bishop. I hated Dawson’s Creek, and I viscerally associate him with that annoying piece of teen-angst soap opera. Second, it sounded like a modernized rip-off of the X Files, which is one of my favorite shows of all time. Well, at least until it became redundant and boring.
