My Take
For me J. H. Wyman will always be the mind behind Fringe. An Oakland-born writer, producer, sometime actor and musician, he steered one of the most ambitious and emotionally tangled science fiction series of its era. Running a show built on parallel worlds and slow-burning mythology takes a peculiar mix of nerve and patience, and I admire creators who trust their audience to follow them that far. With The Mexican and Dead Man Down also on his ledger, his range is wide. He strikes me as a storyteller who genuinely commits to the strange worlds he builds, and I have happily followed him into them.
