Fringe, S01E01

I'm slightly baffled about Fringe, it's the X-Files isn't it? Is the only reason it got made that it's JJ Abrams? Or am I being too judgemental? After all, can you judge lost by it's first episode? Definitely not.

The first episode  (the pilot) was well executed, slick, and reasonably entertaining, if not a little silly. But silly can be good, Lost takes silly and promotes it to bonkers very successfully. What I loved the most was the scene change words being a 3D part of the scene (it's very hard to describe). The acting was all okay, and there was the mention of a big arc style device, The Pattern.

But, really it's just the X-Files. Isn't it?
