TV- Season Premier-Fringe

Fringe ended last season with a blast, after starting a bit unfocused. The last 6-8 episodes were fun and creepy, and this season is starting off with the intrigue carrying over in a big way.

Fringe is about an FBI unit assigned to investigate strange paranormal phenomena (I know, shades of X-Files). But these phenomena are not separate incidents, they have a larger pattern. Anna Torv stars as Olivia Dunham, and she is getting better and better in her role. With Joshua Jackson and the excellent John Noble as the crazy scientist Walter Bishop, the cast is great.

The show offers great subplots but keeps each episode going on its own too.

I am looking forward to the mysteries of the other dimension revealed in the season end, and also to more Leonard Nimoy as William Bell.

Fringe looks like it will be even better this season.
