Enjoyable one and all, although if there is one minor point worth making its that the show seems to be comfortable in...uh...
appropriating comic book concepts.
Episode 6,
Earthling, featured a "shadow" monster that was pretty much a rip off of the
Negative Man from the comic book series
The Doom Patrol. In the comic book, the character was good, in the Fringe, he was quite bad.
Episode 8,
August, featured a more in depth look at the so-called Observers, a group of bald men who seem to be...observing...what's happening around the world and at key historical events. Kinda like...no, almost exactly like Marvel comic's
Watcher character originally introduced in the
Fantastic Four, with a little of DC Comic's
Metron (another
Jack Kirby creation) thrown into the mix.
But, lest I sound too down on the people behind the show, it remains enjoyable.
