Fringe: The True Eye, Continued

 

Fringe is trying desperately to become my new favorite show. It lifts mercilessly from The X-Files, takes place in my old stomping grounds (Harvard Square was a particular favorite after-school hangout for me, what with The Million Year Picnic and all) and just to twist the knife, it moved production to Vancouver, as all sci-fi shows should be required by law to. 


It's also lifting riffs from Altered States, as we see again in this episode.

The Queen of Heaven...

Ah, yes- Alien Dreaming and the Widening Gyre- what The X-Files is really all about. And so too is Fringe. (Non-US readers, you know what to do...) 

  UPDATE: Californication had a mushroom subplot last night...

  UPDATE II: This one's for Mike C!...
