Okay, so Fox is airing the pilot episode of Fringe. At first sight, it really looks like an old script from The X-Files. For that matter, it has a lot of the same elements - foxy FBI agents, creepy stranger, people melting to death on a plane...
Any of this sounding familiar?
I'm half an hour in, but this already seems pretty hackneyed. We've seen this before. And before. And before. The only new element seems to be the hardass from Homeland Security that's running the show. That, and the scene titles that they seem to have stolen from Heroes. Let's just hope it can rise above its first impression.
Before the icky stretching guy reaches through the nearest duct to pull the plug on it.
