Gallant Amazon User Heroically Defends 'Fringe' Season 2 Box Set From Negative ReviewersTEMPE, AZ—Doughty and lionhearted Amazon.com reviewer Jason Lydon, 24, leapt to the defense of the Fringe season two box set Friday, protecting the Fox television series from the brutal comments and cutthroat low ratings of its gravest detractors. “Don’t listen to Agerybay09—Peter’s emotional arc with his father works perfectly with the development of both universes,” the valorous Lydon wrote, staving off assault after assault with the rapier-thrust of each word. “What are these clueless people talking about?? J.J. Abrams didn’t get ‘desperate’ in this season. What he did was break new ground. That’s what makes this show so brilliant and—I don’t care what batgirl_91 says—the only worthy successor to Lost The courageous Amazon user then went on to act as a human shield against falsehood on the “What can you do about hardened brown sugar?” Yahoo! Answers page. Best show in the last decade. As he should, Fringe season 2 is great Change Fringe Season 2 to Game of Thrones Season 8!
