basically, this show is x-files 2.o, but since i liked x-files, that is a good thing! the show is about a woman who works for the a government organization who works on strange cases with a crazy (literally) old scientist and his reluctant son. each week they tackle a new case, but its a show by jj abrams of 'lost' fame, so there are also some strange conspiracy goings-on thats always taking place just below the surface.the three main characters are quite likable, especially john noble as the strange old man. the cases themselves are pretty interesting and deal with some sort of unusual fringe science (thus the name of the show). the weekly mystery is fun, but its the overarching 'pattern' that really draws you in. the first batch of episodes has come to a close and fox has picked it up for the full season, so there will be more to come. i'm certainly hooked at this point and look forward to the little glimses we see each week of the bigger picture.
