I just read that a recent episode of Fox’s Fringe, one of Hepcat’s and my favorite TV shows, was set in Park Slope. The setting: a local apartment building where party-goers were “expelled against their will out a seventh-story balcony,” writes Ken Tucker on his blog.
To even begin to try to explain Fringe episode to someone who hasn’t been following the science fiction series, which deals with parallel universes and scientific detective work, is just plain fruitless. Hepcat calls it “a mash-up of the Outer Limits, CSI, and Lost only weirder.” The show has been relegated to a rather lonely spot on Friday nights at 8PM on Fox.
Suffice it to say that Walter, the show’s brilliant paranormal detective played by John Noble, fears that there’s a vortex into which Park Slope might disappear.
