Or Fringetraz if you like.
Even to the point of using the same location for a chase scene in the Pilot ep that was used in Fringe S4E1. And, the return of Jason Butler Harner (Richard Steig in the Pilot ep of Fringe). Comic Book Writer/Store Owner Jorge Garcis (Of Lost) and SF Detective Sarah Jones join with secretive FBI guy Sam Niell in what looks to be a Fringeresting show. Just waiting for Olivia Dunham and Walter Bishop to show up.
IN 1963, over 200 Inmates and their Guards vanish from AlcaFringe without a trace. In 2012, the inmates start showing up... One by One.
Who took them? Why? In Typical JJ Abrams fashion, we're not gonna find out unless we watch the show. Pretty good TV Tactic, works for me.
There is some crossover here from Fringe, some of the Production team is the same. Ultimately a show is a combination of the Writing, the Acting, and the Production. The Acting talent is OK so that is covered, and the production team has been proved in several shows. So it's the writing that I'll use to judge the show.
So Far, we have the Fringian process of 1) Reveal Conundrum 2) Solve part of it 3) More questions come about by answer of initial conundrum.
Yah, sure "We've seen this before" - But NOT in this combination or with this quality. Also, the filming of some exteriors in The City, and I've lived in SF so I recognise some of the places. Wherever they are shooting the rest of the shots, makes a Good SF - They blend pretty well. And also I understand they were allowed to shoot IN Alcatraz as well- So, as I have watched the first 2 and a half 'sodes, there is a viable, believable illusion of this all happening in 1963 and 2012 in the city of SF.
I hope they do make some kind of reference to Events in Frings, maybe even a crossover ep in both shows. So Far, JJ Abrams wins with 2 good shows on the air, Frings and Alcatraz. Makes me want to go out and rent the entire run of Lost and then Alias when I am done with that - JJ is a great filmmaker, I respect him cos he just does not quit, even when Fringe is not quite done squeezing out every last Impossibility, JJ comes up with this. From what I understand this show is a collaboration. From what I see it works and well at that.
I love these actor and actresses that are used in these productions, I see them all the time, many of them in JJ's feature Films and other shows.
I've just watched the first 5 eps, took a while but it peaked my interest. It's building into something good, and now I've got 2 good shows to watch each week. It's a good start, now I'm hooked - Not as fast as I was hooked on Fringe, but this show has a lot of Promise.
