  4. Holy crap, Jon Cassar! Hell yeah!
    He was part of 24 for forever, and he had a huge hand in the show. He directed some of the best episodes, and having him on Fringe makes me that much more excited for the new season!

  6. Yeah, loved all the Akiva Goldsman's episodes last season, ep.2.01 should be a great continuation of Olivia meeting William Bell in the Twin Towers.

    And Jon Cassar, can't say enough about Jon, love his work ever since LFN!

    Looks like we are in for another GREAT season!
