Tonight begins JJ "Lost" Abrams' latest foray into the world of spooky science and family melodrama, the TV series Fringe. In the two-hour pilot tonight you'll be introduced to its blend of bizarro, Altered States science and Felicity-esque parent/child drama. We've seen the pilot, we've talked to JJ Abrams, and now we're here to tell you everything you need to know about these ongoing adventures of a father-son mad scientist team and the government agent who brings them weird science cases to solve. Will you want to tune in tonight? Absolutely. Can the show escape the long shadow cast by the X-Files? Find out.
Here's everything you need to know about the pilot, which we watched a couple of months ago (yes there are spoilers, so be warned):
