Everyone needs a bag of salty chips now and then and Fringe Season 1 is 20 episodes of pure junk food delight.
Fringe is just slightly intelligent enough to keep you from feeling like a true idiot for watching.
Mixing pseudo-science and formulaic television, it has all the rote familiarity of Law & Order with a dash of the heavy, far out nonsense you are likely to find in a Green Lantern Corps comic book.
Part of me hates Fringe for being guilty of some of the worst shortcut writing I’ve ever seen, but I absolutely can’t wait til Season 2.
