Fringe

I just finished watching the third episode of the new Fox show Fringe. After watching the two-hour pilot on September 9 I was uncertain about the shows destiny. For the first 10 minutes of the show. It comes off as a strong X-Files ripoff.With two romantically involved FBI agents investigating a biological attack on an airline flight.The show quickly turns around and becomes a story of a headstrong female FBI agent trying to save her fellow FBI agent form same biological attack they are investigating. After a series of lucky breaks and help from some crackpot scientist who has been institutionalized for 17 years she is able to save her fellow agent only in time to find out that he is involved in the catastrophe aboard the airliner. to tell you that you after watching the pilot. I really felt that it would make the perfect TV movie. I was extremely spectacle to believe that this could successful hold a Tuesday nine o'clock time slot on Fox.

It's rare being able to come to a show knowing I'll see an actor like Joshua Jaskson who I never admired and disliked in most of the roles(especially Dawson's Creek) that he was placed in and really see him succeed in the role of a detached and disappointed son to a to unstable recently released from psychiatric care father who needs his help. It's a pleasant surprise to see Joshua Jaskson finally, in a role that doesn't have him jumping for teenage girls.

But after watching the second and third episodes of the show. I'm convinced that the show could be a long-term success for Fox. I believe that this show is a perfect contender for ABC's Lost with its deep characters, and lots of room for conspiracy theories. I believe that Fringe can give Lost a run for its money.
