Anything that happens, happens. Anything that, in happening, causes something else to happen, causes something else to happen. Anything that, in happening, causes itself to happen again, happens again. It doesn’t necessarily do it in chronological order,though.

Yesterday I began a quest, a quest to delve deeper into the creative genius that is J.J. Abrams. If you have read my previous article you might put two and two together and come to the conclusion that I have a slight man crush: this is true. But who could not find themselves falling for a man who creates such great works of imagination, fantasy and science fiction. I for one cannot resist.
But I digress.
I began watching Fringe yesterday and in an unfortunate state of events, namely me being broke, I was forced to watch it online. Usually I would progress through a season at a much faster rate but at the current time I am up to Episode 10. But it is the episode that I just watched that has inspired me to write this article. For you see I am also a big fan of this years awesome 'Watchmen' (as well as the graphic novel) and in Episode 9 the opening scene reminded me of Alan Moore’s sublime comic book, and if you watch this clip you will see why.





Now I realise that this came out some time ago and was more than likely featured on this esteemed website but I had to post it. My new obsession has paid homage to one of my old favourites and for those who may not have seen the clip it is my opinion that you should and thus this article.
If anyone has posted this before I will gladly and humbly apologise but if no one has and this is the first time anyone has made this connection, though I doubt it, "you're welcome" :D

Sincerely,
Benjamin Boekelaar
