I am a fan of J.J. Abrams.
I acknowledge his very frequent use of story tropes.
I know that he doesn't always stray very far from his comfort zone.
h/t to this week's printed edition of Entertainment Weekly for the graphic. Read the text here.
You might say that he has a very definite shtick.
You could accuse him of constantly relying on his established cadre of actors.
You might wonder why he consistently turns to this stable of performers.
I propose that they already understand the Abrams tricks of the trade.
Why try to teach a new troop your bag of tricks?
Especially when everyone understands what is within their wheelhouse?
(Enjoy an Abramsesque experience on Tuesday nights @ 9 pm with FOX's Fringe. And don't forget to clear your calendar for the return of LOST on ABC in January 2009.)

If anyone pays attention to this sort of David Tosses Off Random TV Stuff posts, then you might be interested in this post--of which there will be several--comparing LOST and Fringe.
So, if you like this sort of thing, let me know and I'll try to keep you informed.
