(urth) Fringe

[David Stockhoff]

I always figured at least one of the writers, or Abrams himself, must 
have read BTNS. The mix of pulp mysteries with pulp SF, with multiple 
time leaps (if not loops), and the deliberate withholding of information 
is just too familiar.

I don't claim "influence," simply that Wolfe shows what can be done with 
narrative. It would remain to an Abrams to actually try to do it on 
network TV.
