Fringe Episodes For Download!!


Some of you may remember, last year I posted about a new J.J Abrams TV show called Fringe. The show basically revolves around an eccentric scientist named Walter Bishop, his son, Peter Bishop, and FBI Agent Olivia Dunham. Together they investigate different aspects of fringe science, such as levitation, reanimation, teleportation, nano technology, and artificial intelligence.

The pilot episode for Fringe cost about $10 million to produce, making it the most expensive pilot ever shot!

I gotta say, when I first downloaded and watched the pilot for this show, I was like, "nah, not my kind of thing." A part of me felt like it was too boring,and that it probably wouldn't do well, but as I watched on, the stories became less boring, and more interesting, and within days, I was hooked! Fringe easily became my guilty pleasure for this summer!! For those who are fans of sci-fi, this is the show for you!! Fringe is a combination of CSI, X-Files, and The Twilight Zone! If I haven't convinced you already, then watch it for J.J Abrams, the man behind Lost, and this year's Star Trek! Abrams and his team definitely give us a new show that will revive the sci-fi genre in the small screens!

Fringe


"This Is So Going In My Blog,"

Fringe is a sicience fiction TV series co-created by J.J Abrams, Alex Kurtzman, and Robert Orci. It premiered on September 9th, 2008 on FOX. It stars John Noble (24) as Walter Bishop, Joshua Jackson (Dawson's Creek) as Peter Bishop, and newcomer, Anna Torv as FBI Agent, Olivia Dunham. The 2-hour series premiere cost about $10 million to make, makiing it the most expensive pilot ever shot.

The show revolves around FBI Agent, Olivia Dunham, Walter Bishop, and Peter Bishop as they go around the world to investigate the aspects of fringe science (e.g., a newborn baby aging to 80 in a matter of minutes). A series of experiments all over the world have been occurring which people refer to as "The Pattern." The reasons for this are still unknown. Connected to "The Pattern" is a company called, Massive Dynamic, a company who holds numerous patents for a large number of new technology. Dunham, and both Bishops are in charge of investigating these strange events, and to determine the source of "The Pattern."

This show has definitely been gaining a lot of buzz since its release, with more and more audiences tuning in every week. Could it be because of the "J.J Abrams" factor? I think so. This guys is awesome when it comes to awesome story-telling. Fringe has garnered positive reviews from critics, with some calling it, "an update of X-Files, with the addition of terrorism and the office of Homeland security." 

When this show was first announced, I was definitely very curious about it. Maybe cuz of the fact that I'm a huge Lost fan. J.J Abrams has given us one of the biggest shows in history, and I wanted to see if he could do it a second time. The show definiftely had an X-Files vibe to it, and they manage to keep the 2 hour premiere interesting. I'm excited to see where they take it from here.

What do you think? Comment!
