Saturday, August 30, 2008 Sci-Fi's Fringe Benefits? POST A COMMENT Abrams (Lost-dude) has got my nerd-tention with Fox's Fringe; billed as a paranoid, procedural drama (filmed here in Queens NYC), looks like a cross between the twilight zone and The X-Files. In an interview creator J.J. Abrams talks about the rise in science on the tube: "Popular culture is a mirror, and we are living in a time where every day some kind of shocking or amazing announcement is made. To read today, for instance, that researchers have found a way to destroy HIV or help 80 percent of Alzheimer’s patients, it’s amazing. These types of things are becoming more commonplace. There’s more science in our lives, so there’s more science on TV." “Fringe” launches on Sept. 9 on Fox, and I'll be checking this one out. Source: Popular Science Labels: Fox Shows, Fringe, J.J.
