J.J. Abrams Tackling "Fringe" Scuttlebutt
Showrunner J.J. Abrams has shared some Fringe good news recently. Some 
critics have wondered from the beginning if it was Fox’s intention to create a new “X-Files” via Fringe. After all, FBI agents plus weird science usually reminds us of a few things!
Abrams says the plan was more to create something fans would really like to see. Executive producer Robert Orci revealed that although The X-Files series was an inspiration, he has “always wanted to do a show with geniuses solving problems“.
Another revelation is although many of us (myself included) believe Fox intentionally released the Fringe episode online, Abrams says he was “disappointed” in the release, saying what viewers saw was unfinished, and not what we’ll see in the fall.
Abrams gave some of the best news I’ve heard all summer about a new fall show, which is Fringe will not require us as viewers to invest the same commitment level as watching Lost. I’m a fan of Lost, but I have to admit it did require work. Will it be a “monster” of the week type thing? We’ll have to see.
Check out the rest of the report at The Live Feed. I’m hoping the character interaction will provide us with lots of FBI drama between the three main characters. Even if it’s a little like X-Files, it’s not a huge problem if you liked the show, right?
