On the Fringe!

Caught a interesting series called FRINGE on Monday, it's like cross between X-files, twilight zone, and all other movies/series which had conspiracy theories. At least the lead actress is not bad a looker (Anna Torv - tell me she doesn't look like Cate Blanchett), PLUS she appeared in undies in the very first episode! (Scully... flashbacks... mosquitos...)
Anyway, the first episode dealt with some flesh eating bacteria, the by products of which looked like the gooey bodies from the first X-files movie. The pacing was pretty ok, and the cast was competent, even Walter the "Steward of Gondor" Bishop (John Noble) was pretty funny!
I hope Abrams doesn't make this show as convoluted as lost, as much as i like to solve little riddles and symbols scattered all over the place! He DID make the new Trek movie which i enjoyed pretty much, so, some hope there!
Here's a little trivia : Anna Torv (Olivia Dunham) is actually married to her 1 episode co-star John Scott (Mark Valley).. life imitating art? Plus he's 15 years older than her! 0_0;
