I didn’t realize until today that X-Files fans (X-philes in fandom terminology) are generally resistant of the new J.J. Abrams show Fringe.  Well, I was at first. Until I gave it a try and realized that it’s a totally different show. Sure, it’s another procedural with a strong female lead who happens to be an FBI agent; there are monster-of-the -week episodes sandwiched between a larger mythology. But there are no aliens here. And there’s no alternate universe in the X-Files. I’ll make a more coherent comparison later on.

What I want to share now is this piece of news that Scully and Mulder (I’m not clear if it’s going to be David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson) will make a special appearance in the season 2 opener of Fringe.  I, for one, will watch out for that, as well as the entire new season of this awesome new show.  If it’s going to happen, I hope it’s going to be something grand, and not have the Mulder-Scully duo do something as mundane as bringing Walter Bishop some cattle supplies.
