We reported a couple days back in Page 2 that both JJ Abrams’ Fringe and Joss Whedon’s Dollhouse were picked up by Fox. We have new information and the first batch of marketing materials including posters, photos and trailers for both shows. So let’s take a look into the future of geek television.

My Thoughts

I’m a huge fan of Abrams, although I’ll agree that both of the filmmakers are probably overrated in the geek community (Whedon more than Abrams, especially when it comes to directing). The premisses to both of the shows sound intriguing, yet the fact that both have stars from the 1990’s who have seen better days is a little worrisome. Many people are calling Fringe an X-Files rip-off, and some of the photos and poster art also give off that impression. One thing is for sure, I’ll be watching both series when they premiere.
