I don’t have a very good ear for such things, but the music they’ve been playing on _Fringe_ as they are building up to a pre-commercial demi-climax sounds very much like the music they used in the same situations for _Lost_. Can someone else validate my reality or did I drop too much acid again? ---

Michael Giacchino has composed scores for both _Fringe_ and _Lost_, so it’s not surprising to find similarities. ---
