Just a reminder, Fringe season 2 premiers tomorrow (Thursday) September 17th at 9pm on Fox. Check back after the episode for full reviews of Fringe and other shows.

For a years, scifi geeks (such as myself) obsessed over the X-Files.  All the unrealistic UFO conspiracies and the alien scary voodoo, who can sleep at night with all that on their minds?  Well, the X-files has been over for a while now, and the recent X-files movie totally sucked, so what is a scifi fanatic suppose to do during the year? Well this past year, Fox had the answer; a new show called Fringe.

Fringe is about a group of people who are trying to run fringe experiments, using the whole world as their petri dish, these occurrences are referred to as “the pattern.” In response, the FBI put together a task force of an FBI agent name Olivia Dunham, a former scientist (Dr. Walter Bishop) who was institutionalized and is usually connected to these weird experiments through his past work at Harvard and his equally brilliant son (Peter Bishop) who has been a delinquent his whole life. Sounds great huh? not really! Sure, on paper its about as boring as it gets, but you have to watch in order to believe.

This show is probably one of the best shows on television right now.  Lots of scary and suspenseful moments that keep you on the edge of your seat. It has an overly complicated storyline that is difficult to follow over a whole season, mixed in with some actual scientific theory, making it the perfect scifi series for those who have half a brain.  Of course, if you’re not into scifi than you’re not gonna like it whether you have a brain or not.  The writers of Fringe have been able to put together an amazing story line that consists of multiple smaller story line that stem from the main story line and somehow relate back to the main story again.  Obviously, everyone has their own life on the show, and that life is shared with us in a minimal fashion without steering too far away from the main story.

Fox has moved Fringe from Tuesday nights to Thursday nights starting this Fall! I’m gonna rate this show as a MUST SEE!!

Season 2 Premiers on September 17th on Fox at 9pm
