Fringe Premiere

I usually hate any sort of time travel/displacement/body swapping type plot devices in TV shows. Most of the time it's a sign that the writers are out of ideas & feel the need to "shake things up", and it usually ends up ruining the show. (ahem LOST ahem Heroes ahem) As good as the finale for Fringe's second season was, I had some doubts about where season 3 was headed since we were clearly going to be stuck in the Walternate universe for a while longer.

The premiere for season 3 has me feeling good about things though. It's obvious that the other universe is central to the underlying mystery behind all the strange events and has been planned out since the first season. I didn't see the whole memory implant thing coming, very interesting twist on the mistaken identity idea. Plus, Walternate is an evil badass. I'll watch that guy act in just about anything. You've got me hooked for another season of Fringe, thanks.
