J.J. Abrams Promises 'Fringe' Will Die Fighting
An anonymous reader writes "Fringe creator J.J. Abrams has said of the show's much-maligned move to Friday nights, 'Fringe deserves to live beyond season 3. If we're going to fail, let's go down doing the most bad ***, weirdest, interesting, sophisticated version of a series that we could possibly do.' Previous announcements about the move were more defensive, claiming that Fringe's shift to Fridays was an attempt to draw younger viewers back to the 'dead zone' of Friday nights. But season three has been confused enough in tone and approach that it's no surprise to hear yet another contradictory statement about its future..." Good episodes of Fringe have been great TV. I've really enjoyed the first half of the season and am looking forward to seeing what they do with it. A lot of mediocre SciFi has been shut down recently (Caprica? SGU?) and a lot of bad SciFi continues (V?) but Fringe flirts with greatness with regularity. I hope it makes it... even though on Friday it's not likely.

Hmmm, one could postulate that there are forces in other galaxies that don't exist in ours. Think "dark matter"; theory says it should exist, yet we've never actually seen it, "The Force" could be similar, or even a physical force that we've not discovered, like electromagnetism that wasn't known much if at all in previous time frames. Everyone bashes I II & III for Mitichlorians, but forget that Luke and Obi-Wan aren't human -- they're from a distant galaxy in a distant time. There's no reason those creatures (Luke and Obi-Wan) couldn't be symbiants; they're space aliens!
What I find hilariously absurd is having extraterrestrials that look anything at all like us. Moreso Star Trek with its interspecies children. There's no way Spock could exist; heis mother and father are completely different species. You'ld have more luck getting a chimp-human hybrid.
