Ok, so.... I would like to know what anti-aging thing Pacey's got going on because on the new show Fringe, seriously, ... every time Joshua Jackson comes on the screen I am like "I don't wanna wait... for our liiiives to be overrrr....." Who doesn't think he looks exactly the same? What is up with that (if you couldn't hear what that sounded like in my head... I was doing a Seinfeld impersonation... I am that cool). I guess I am glad that he and Mathew Fox made it out of Teen Drama syndication no-man's land and into the very cool J.J. Abrams creations that are Lost and Fringe.
I will save my Lost discussion for another time and another place (did anyone catch that subtle hint... ok, maybe only the true lost fans) because I would like to touch on my new fixation with the show Fringe. Lets go back 3 months to when I had been seeing commercial promos for the pilot... oh... i dunno... every 5 minutes on FOX while watching So You Think You Can Dance (Yes, I do watch and love that show... what now?). Yea, they were really pumping the show. And honestly... all I could think was... 'Hey, Isn't that the guy that went to visit Hurley in the mental hospital?'
Yea... I know... It's a conspiracy man.... I will let you ponder about that a little more in silence....Back to my observations on the show... So, I was thinking that, ok... J.J. Abrams has made me pretty happy with Lost... and even though I could have done without the mind jarring motion sickness I got in Cloverfield (I highly suggest some strong Dramamine before taking that one on), he makes some interesting stuff... and I was all in. The Pilot premiered on a night that I was at Disneyland (my second home for those who don't know) and it sat on my DVR for days before I got SO bored with my re-runs of John & Kate Plus 8 and Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives, that I fatefully pressed my play button. Ka-Chow, It created feeling in me that I myself didn't understand. Alright... a bit dramatic... but it was good. Kinda reminded me of a Lost/X-Files Hybrid. Murder, Mystery, and Melodramatics. The recipe for a good prime time show.
And you wanna know what my favorite part is? The fact that they tell you how long the commercials are going to be! I want to shake that man's hand... because now when it tells me 'Fringe will be back in 90 seconds', it's just 3 swift clicks of my 30 second jump on the remote and I am all back into the show. No more hovering over the play button and missing 1-3 seconds at the beginning of each break. The pressures of being responsible for the remote have now dropped by at least 44.9% (give or take a few points).
If you feel like kicking back and taking in a few conspiracy theories then Fringe is where it's at. I will see you there Tuesday nights at 9 (or maybe not because honestly, who watches live TV anymore..).
Do what you want, dig what you do, 'cause that's what life is all about. D Out.
