I am definitely marking this one with a big ol SPOILER tag, because it is very spoilerish — as in, it tells you pretty much everything that happens in the pilot episode of J.J. Abrams’ upcoming sci-fi TV show Fringe. Yes, I do mean everything, so if you don’t want to know how the pilot episode begins and ends, I suggest you don’t read on. You still reading? Okay, continue, then…

J.J. Abrams has a habit of making stars out of unknown actresses: Jennifer Garner in Alias, Evangeline Lilly in Lost, Keri Russell in Felicity, and now … Anna Torv in Fringe? Maybe, since the Australian actress has been tapped by Abrams to play the female lead in his upcoming FOX sci-fi show Fringe. Also joining Torv on Fringe are Blair Brown and Jasika Nicole.

J.J. Abrams, Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci’s big-time sci-fi show Fringe has added two new castmembers: The Wire star Lance Reddick and Aussie John Noble (”The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King”), will be playing a FBI agent and a mad scientist, respectively.

Speaking of J.J. Abrams (no, this isn’t a J.J. Abrams site, it just so happens that the guy is involved in a lot of sci-fi work nowadays), his other big high-profile project is the FOX sci-fi show Fringe, which has added Kirk Acevedo and Tomas Arana to a cast that already includes Mark Valley.
