Fringe Will Jump The Shark Early And Often, Says J.J. Abrams

Click to viewJ.J. Abrams says his raw FBI - vs - science show Fringe will strain to jump the shark as quickly as possible — just the same way his hit show Lost did . In a conference call with reporters , Abrams also explain why he ’s scared of gargantuan corporations . And he explain why Fringe will be just like hit hospital dramatic event ER.Science is scary Abrams talked a hatful about why he thinks the clock time is right for a show about the horrors of science gone wrong . “ Every Clarence Shepard Day Jr. , every week , we hear about some potentailly horrifying thing … skill is out of controller . ” go over the top It ’s important to go over the top early on in a series , to show what variety of utmost dominion you ’re willing to visit , Abrams say :

[ When ] we did the cowcatcher for Lost , we had the monster appear at the end of the first turn . We did that very consciously , because we want to say to the hearing , “ We ’re stick out the shark now . We ’re doing crazy shit from the origin , we ’re not go away to hold back . On Fringe , we very consciously did what in many ways is a laughable , out there , far - fetched story period [ first ] , for say to the interview , “ This is what you ’re go to be getting on the show . ”

Some episodes of the show may be more utmost , while others may make out with “ science as it survive . ” But Abrams said the playfulness of scientific discipline fabrication , for him , is “ advertize the gasbag . ” And Abrams take over that Olivia and Peter will have a “ slow burn relationship ” that will grow over metre , but their amatory chemistry has to be take in . OMG corporations are ebil Abrams blab about the show ’s “ corporate conspiracy ” angle , which he said is n’t as self-aggrandizing a deal as you might envisage from look on the pilot . Blair Brown ’s type , CEO Nina Sharp , has an “ ambiguous ” role . But the more important vista of her case is her kinship with her boss , who has a relationship with dotty scientist Walter Bishop , with a backstory that will blossom over the season . We ’ll run into Nina ’s boss in the first season , but it wo n’t bechance until we ’re “ hungry ” to fulfil him because of all the clobber we ’ve determine out . “ These are things that are much more about the characters than a variety of cliched cynical look at corporate culture , ” Abrams tell . “ Having read that , I do n’t trust collective culture at all . ” He feels corporations are too sinewy and far - reach , and have progress to the point where they ’re almost like countries in their own rihgt . “ As much as we ’re surrounded by geography and a political world , we ’re fence in by a corporate world . ” But Abrams cautioned that the malign corporate confederacy story has been “ ham it up and done a million times , ” so if you do n’t have an interesting twisting on it , it ’s better not to do it at all . It ’s not X - Files , it ’s ER Abrams pronounce in his own mind , he ’s comparing Fringe more to ER than to X - Files . “ You have these ongoing relationships , these on-going storyline , and yet week - to - week when the door first opens , you ’re faced with the harebrained urgent office of the hebdomad , ” say Abrams . Looking at shows like his own Felicity or Dawson ’s Creek , there ’s nothing to interrupt the human relationship drama , so the characters just deal with their takings non - stop . On ER , “ if these characters were not doctor , if they were just give ear out , you would go through their emotional story in a few episodes , ” but because they have fires to put out , the fib get stretched out more .
