J. J. Abrams and Anton Bruckner Lost on the Fringe

J. J. Abrams and Anton Bruckner Lost on the Fringe April 6, 2010

It has been said that Anton Bruckner didn’t compose nine symphonies, he composed one symphony nine times. I wonder if we could say something similar about J. J. Abrams. His shows Fringe and LOST seem to have converged on key themes. Parallel universes, a small number of people who have crossed between them, deja vu as somehow connected to catching a glimpse of another universe, children who are special and relevant to a war that involves these parallel worlds which are similar and yet different.

If you watch both, do you have any thoughts about how one might shed light on the other?
