i love fringe but i do think jj abrams wanted to create a mixture of alias and lost so he came up with the idea of fringe.
Never having seen Alias (though I have the whole 1 st season on DVD and have read only the recaps) and only watching some of Lost, maybe I am missing something, In 2010, the last season of Lost, dealt with alternate world ,this is ove a year after Fringe began. But I see almost no similarities between the shows. The idea of alternate universes goes back over 1000 years in scientific theory and physics. In fiction (not counting religious stories of Heaven, Hell, Valhalla, Asgard, and so on), like the book "1 thousand and 1 nights" ( which is about 1000 years olds, has a story about multiple universes similar to our own). many, many fiction books have used the theory, also movies (the One) and yes tv shows,
Sliders, is my favorite, but
Dr Who,
Star Trek,
Stargate series, even
Family Guy... many many shows, so yes JJ Abrams got the idea of Alternate Universes from someone else, but it wasn't Lost or Alias
