Human Elements of Fringe

By Jon Lachonis

If it has the name JJ Abrams on it, you can be sure there is an ensemble of interesting people - and Fringe is no exception. If you're going to be investigating offenses against nature centered on topics like teleportation, human experimentation, ESP and telekinesis, the characters have to be a bit more than "interesting" to keep up with the subject matter, they have to be fantastic. Abrams and company have come up with a group of individuals both uniquely qualified to investigate the unknown and well drawn enough to keep us dramatically bound to the human element of the show.
