7 Reasons Fringe Will Rule TV
Aug 13th, 2008 | By David Harper | Category: Science FictionSciFi Wire: Here at SCI FI Wire, we pride ourselves on having our fingers on the bloody pulse of SF&F geekdom, especially the televised variety. We got the Spaced inside jokes in Shaun of the Dead before anyone knew who Simon Pegg was. We dug the new Doctor Who when Christopher Eccleston was still wearing the leather coat. And we saw the potential in Battlestar Galactica–the Lorne Greene version–way before Ron Moore turned it into a hit in its new, improved SCI FI Channel incarnation.
So that’s why we think we’re in the perfect position–i.e., out on a limb–to proclaim that Fox’s upcoming SF drama Fringe will be this fall’s breakout success: The show that will knock Heroes out of the sky and bury Lost like Nikki and Paulo on that irritatingly populated desert island.
