Flooding Legal Issues
What happens now after a rental house and personal property has been damaged by flooding.
--Read your lease to see if there is language about what happens after a disaster.
--If the apartment or house is destroyed, contact the landlord to try to work out a lease termination agreement. You are still responsible for rent unless you work out an agreement of some kind. Put everything in writing and date it.
--If the house or apartment is damaged, you are still liable for paying rent. Again, you might work out a reduction in rent for parts of the house or apartment that is unusable.
--The landlord is not responsible for loss of your personal belongings. If you have renters insurance, contact the carrier.

The Lawyer Referral Service of Central Texas, Inc. (LRS) is a non-profit public service established in 1966. It is headquartered in Austin and serves Travis and surrounding counties. The program was designed to assist persons who are able to pay normal attorney fees but whose ability to locate legal representation is frustrated by a lack of experience with the legal system, a lack of information about the type of services needed, or a fear of the potential costs of seeing a lawyer.
How does it work?
After screening your call to determine what type of legal help you need, LRS will refer you to a lawyer who practices in that area of law or to an community service agency that might be able to assist you. Telephone referrals are available from 8:00am to 4:30pm and web access referrals are available on this website 24 hours a day.
Is there a fee for contacting LRS?
The referral is free. If you consult with a lawyer, you will be charged only $20 for up to thirty minutes (the $20 consultation fee is forwarded to LRS). Lawyers will charge for their services if you decide to hire the attorney.
Do I need a lawyer?
If you are confused about whether not you need to consult with or hire a lawyer, go to our Frequently Asked Questions page for some guidance. We may be able to refer you to an agency that will solve your problem without the need to hire a lawyer.
Will the attorney charge a fee?
In most cases (except personal injury, bankruptcy, Social Security disability) you will be charged a nominal consultation fee ($20) for up to thirty minutes in the lawyer's office. After the first thirty minutes, you are subject to their hourly rates so be certain to understand the legal fees before you proceed.

If a BlackBerry application stores data in the persistent store, that data typically gets erased when the user performs a data transfer to a new device (using RIM's desktop software), or when the user performs an OS upgrade on the device.
I believe the RIM api does provide facilities for making an application adhere to whatever rules it needs to in order for its persisted data to be backed up and restored properly during upgrades and transfers. But the available documentation doesn't explore this very well.
What is the proper way to make your BlackBerry app behave properly during data backups and transfers?

MLB Rumors: Mark Prior Still Eyeing MLB Comeback; Chicago Cubs A Possibility?
File this one under "very unlikely".
Yet, it's also intriguing enough to warrant some thought. There are certainly no shortage of fallen stars looking for a chance at redemption in each MLB off-season, but not too many have shone quite as brightly as Mark Prior.
The righty is someone who needs little introduction. A poster boy for how injuries can wreck a pitcher's career, the former once-in-a-generation prospect has been hanging around in the minors with various organizations, six years removed from his last appearance on a major league mound. Despite the various shoulder surgeries and lengthy rehabs that has kept him from doing what he used to do best, Prior has been focused on just one goal – to get back to the majors.
And he's wants to give it one more shot in 2013.
According to David Kaplan of CSN Chicago, Prior has been working out this off-season in hopes of earning an invite to Spring Training in the major leagues, and sources have said that the former All-Star is in the "best shape of his life".
That's a phrase that baseball fans have undoubtedly heard many times before, but there are specific details in Prior's case. In his report for MLB.com, Doug Miller points out that Prior has been going through a lengthy and continually refined process of building the muscle around his shoulder capsule since 2010, with the latest results being 19 appearances over 25 innings with AAA Pawtucket in the Boston Red Sox system, where Prior struck out batters at a 13.68 K/9 rate.
It's a big step forward in his quest to return to the majors, even if there hasn't been any takers of the 32-year old's services for the coming season yet.
Although, there was one team that did bring him back in a different capacity. The Chicago Cubs, the only team that Prior has pitched for on a major-league level, recently asked their former second-overall pick to dish out some advice to the team's top prospects.
The more interesting tidbit, though, comes from the sources who told Kaplan that the club "has not closed the door on [the] possibility" of potentially giving their speaker a shot at Spring Training this season, or to join some of those prospects that he spoke to in the minors.
Even if there have been "zero conversations" about that subject with Spring Training coming up, a reunion between Prior and the Cubs would seem fitting, even if it's just to give the team and its fans an underdog story with a familiar name to get behind, as the rebuilding Cubs face a long and likely arduous season in 2013.
Could Prior take his re-discovered 92-93 mph heat all the way back to the majors with the club where it all started? It'd be the longest of long shots, but neither him nor the Cubs would have anything to lose by giving it one more go.

NYTVF: Pilot reviews, part one of six
by Adam Finley, posted Sep 6th 2007 2:10PM
The third annual New York Television Festival is now taking place in the Big Apple. As we did last year, we will review each of the pilots in competition there. This is the first of those reviews.
Last year I decided not to review any of the pilots from the New York Television Festival, but this year curiosity got the better of me and I said yes.
I decided to review one of the comedy DVDs. More specifically, the one featuring a pilot with puppets. You know what I learned, Mable? I learned that if your plot is lame and contrived, having puppets as half your cast doesn't improve things at all. Let's get into it (you can view the pilots at MSN):

Barclays Zimbabwe upgrades infrastructure
COMPUTING| Aug. 20, 2012, 9:12 a.m.
Barclays Bank in Zimbabwe has upgraded its IT infrastructure and is looking to solar power for its ATMs.
The bank has completed the first phase of a fibre optic WAN project to improve communication between its ATMs, and is now looking to solar power to keep the ATMs operational during power cuts.
Barclays managing director George Guvamatanga said power interruptions were increasing the bank's operating costs, and ultimately increasing consumer costs for banking services.
He said the bank had piloted the use of solar energy as an alternative power source for some ATMs and was considering rolling out solar power systems to more sites.

Gazzetta all di Pies: Lazio fan's death sparks riots across Italy
November 15th, 2007
Sadly all the football in Italy this week was overshadowed by the shooting of a Lazio fan and subsequent rioting across the country. Lazio fan Gabriele Sandri, 25, was shot by a policeman while sitting in his car at a motorway service station in Tuscany during a fight between Lazio and Juventus fans. Lazio's match at Inter Milan was called off prompting rioting in the city. Fans across the country followed suit after hearing of Sandri's death sparking a series of clashes.

November 14th, 2007
In his battle to be more crazy than Stephen Ireland, Plymouth boss Ian Holloway has resorted to using words that were eccentric 50 years ago. Ollie managed to slip the word 'poppycock' into an interview in which he dismissed speculation linking him with the Leicester City manager's post.

Teutonic Tuesday: Werder Bremen and Hamburg within a point of Bayern Munich
November 13th, 2007
For a while it looked like Bayern Munich were going to walk the Bundesliga this season, but they have hit a nasty patch of from. A 3-1 defeat at Stuttgart this week saw Werder Bremen and Hamburg both close the gap on Bayern to just one point. Bremen cemented their intentions with an emphatic 4-0 win over Karlsruhe, while Hamburg's 1-1 draw at Schalke was enough to keep them within touching distance.

November 12th, 2007
I'm not from Catalunya but if I was I would definitely read El Mundo Deportivo, if only for KAP's cartoons. Last week we featured his tribute to Ronaldinho's supposed return to form. This week he has been doodling Rangers fans. If you don't speak the lingo, one fan says: ""They say Barcelona scored two goals…" His mate replies: ""Great! I was so drunk I thought they scored four!†Can't imagine there will be too many lawsuits from indignant Rangers fans concerned that their good names have been besmirched!

What's the biggest derby in the Premier League?
November 12th, 2007
Local rivalries were resumed this weekend with a couple of big game derbies between clubs sharing the same cities – but with very little else in common.
With at least 12 teams in the Premier League that can claim fierce local rivals there will be more big game face offs to come this season – but which one can claim to be the the mother of all derbies?
Goal of the week: Everton's Tim Cahill equalises with an overhead kick against Chelsea

Horror Hair: Gavin McCann
November 12th, 2007
Bolton Wanderers
Bolton midfielder Gavin McCann favours the balding badger look these days, so much so that he only just made it into the Horror Hair category and was almost a Shit Lookalike for Pepe Le Pew! He has always had a receding hairline, but it has now receded so far that it is practically in-growing. Against Middlesbrough yesterday, McCann was shamed into covering his hair in a bandage (OK, the clash of heads might have influenced his decision slightly).

DHS hotline: Weak terrorism tips point to gold locally
Kevin Johnson
Copyright 2005 Gannett Company, Inc.
WILLISTON, Vt. -- The tipster from Illinois first called the Department of Homeland Security's hotline here on Feb. 15, when he reported that while he was helping a "Russian lady" change a flat tire, he saw a pipe bomb in the trunk of her car.
The tip set off a public safety alert in central Illinois, where state police and Naperville authorities responded to a bulletin from the DHS. The dragnet finally ended Feb. 21, when officers found the woman, her car and a device in the trunk.

Transcript of "Meloodee"
1. Computer-based system engineering is introduced by Sommerville as a discipline sitting above softwareengineering and encompassing hardware systems to take a whole system perspective. The introductionof hardware systems bring in a number of aspects such as the physical environment of the system,which need to be considered and controlled. Another key aspect is the consideration of systemproperties which exist within the system as a whole (emergent properties). Sommerville provides someexamples these emergent properties, such as the overall weight of a system (which could be computerfrom the weights of all the subsystems), and the usability of the system (which would have complexdependencies on the hardware, software the system's environment and indeed the system's users).Though it's not actually relevant, I'll wander off on that last point as I've always been quite interestedin usability (being a Mac user). Simplistic views of usability have always really frustrated me. Iremember once reading a really high level requirements specification written by a client which saidsomething along the lines of 'The system should be user friendly – what more is there to say?'.Actually, there's a lot. Who are these users? Can we assume they can use a computer? If not, maybe Ishould be getting out of the way so someone can design a paper based system. What are the usagepatterns in the system? A system which users will work on without any training needs to be designedvery differently to a system people will use day in and day out. In the end, what the client reallymeant here was that usability was an important factor for the system, which I would agree with wholeheatedly, but downplaying the complexity of usability just makes it more difficult to allocate the timeit requires.Emergent system propertiesSomerville begins by dividing emergent properties into functional and non functional. Functionalemergent properties are defined as those which appear when the system is assembled as a whole (likea properly assembled bike becoming a transportation device) as opposed to non-functional propertieslike safety and reliability which are not directly related to the system's function.The focus of this section seems to be to get the reader to accept that emergent properties arecomplex, but to be honest anyone who has ever tracked down a subtle bug knows that interrelatingsystems can be almost impossible to anticipate.Reliability is the key example put forward by Somerville, and three key influences are introduced,specifically hardware reliability, software reliability and operator reliability. These three factors arealso described as interrelated, with hardware failures potentially causing further software failures, andstress caused by failures causing operator errors etc. This interrelationship can cause initially minorfailures to become more problematic. Personally I can attest in at least system administration
problems, that the stress of failed systems can very rapidly lead you to take ill-considered actionswhich make the situation worse (and leave you stuck there until 3 am).The groundwork for the next section is also put in place here, with a discussion or the reliability of asystem being affected by context in which the system is used. The example provided is of some systemdesigned to operate in a certain temperature range which might be exceeded due to a broken air-conditioner system. This sort of relationship, when unanticipated, can easily bring down otherwise veryreliable systems.Air-conditioner problems are usually a nightmare for those in charge of computer server rooms. Iremember being onsite with one of my old customers had the power in their server room fail. They hadmanaged to get at least the critical servers back up by running extension cords across the corridor, andmore amusingly, placing a large number of fans at the door to the server room. Quite impressive,albeit a gross violation of OH&S guidelines.Sommerville finishes this section with a brief mention of security and safety as being particularlycomplex emergent properties because they define things which should not happen rather than thingswhich should. This makes assessing these properties particularly difficult since there is no finite list totest against.Systems and their environmentWe being this section by expanding on the air conditioner example, looking at how systems tens toexist in an environment hierarchy. The building is in a street, which is in a town and so on, andproblems and trickle down (or sometimes up) that hierarchy. In addition to being affected by theenvironment, it is also important to understand the affect a system is intended to have on itsenvironment. Once again, we can go back to the air conditioner, which is designed to decrease theenvironment's temperature, and so can only be properly assessed in this context.Sommerville next approaches the organisational environment of a system, where it intersects withhuman factors. Specifically highlighted are cases where a system might change work processes, de-skillworkers or change an organisation's power structure. In each of these cases, the 'environment' mayactively resist the system, which opens out to the whole field of change management (which back inthe day I always used to confuse as just another name for configuration management).Electromagnetic radiation is an interesting environment example raised at the very end of the section.Being a software guy I don't have much exposure to it, but it always amazes me when hardware guysstart worrying about interference between different bits inside a computer case etc. I guess it's just
one of those things that never even crosses my mind, but must absorb a great deal of time for thoseworking on it.System modellingSystem modelling is introduced basically as the use of a block diagram to progressively break a systemdown into sub components until it reaches a level of functional components (which are defined asproviding a single function). I guess if you have never seen a block diagram before this might beinsightful, but it really seems very obvious to me. There is also a brief discussion about using thisbreakdown to make decisions about implementing various sub-systems in hardware vs software, whichpresumably makes sense.Functional system componentsSomerville provides some clasifications for functional components by the type of work they perform.Sensor components collect environmental informationActuator components create some change in the environmentCommunication components facilitate communication between the different sub-systemsCo-ordination components (surprisingly enough) co-ordinate the activities of other componentsInterface components translate between other componentsThe key point at the end of this system is that most systems should include components of each type,and if you find one is conspicuously missing from your design, you may well have missed something inthe design.The system engineering processThe system engineering process described is roughly analogous to the standard waterfall softwareprocess (which is apparently discussed further in the next chapter). The key differences between thesystem process and the software process are listed as interdisciplinary involvement (meaning increasedscope for misunderstanding) and the increased difficulty/expense of rework (with software being veryvaluable because of its relative flexibility).Software is also presented, in this section, as 'glue' holding systems together, and being used to patchup unforeseen problems which would be too expensive to solve at the hardware level. Sommervilleattributes changing system engineering requirements as the actual cause of many 'software failures',in particular the fairly famous Denver airport baggage system.The rest of the section is basically a whirlwind tour of the components of the process itself, so I won'trepeat the individual components here.
System requirements definitionSomerville breaks out three classes of requirements, abstract functional requirements (high levelspecification of the functions of the system), system properties (non-functional requirements likesafety which affect all sub-systems) and the clumsily named but fairly obvious 'characteristics whichthe system must not exhibit'.One key aspect of this process brought out by Somerville is to capture the underlying requirements at ahigh level without presupposing a particular solution. You tend to see this done very poorly in a lot ofsoftware RFTs and I assume it's similar in system engineering. At the same time, Somerville also notesthat many problems to be solved as sufficiently complex that it's practically impossibly to solve themcompletely in advance (i.e. Wicked problems).System designSomerville breaks down the system design process into the following steps.Partition requirementsIdentify sub-systemsAssign requirements to sub-systemsSpecify sub-system functionalityDefine sub-system interfacesThese steps are ordered, but there is expected to be feedback between the steps with a view towardsiterating towards a final design, with significant rework expected in the early stages.Somerville also highlights non-technical factors which may have an affect this process, includingorganisational and political factors.Sub-system developmentThe sub-system development level is where we may drop into a software engineering process todevelop the subsystem. This, of course, has it's own requirements, design, etc phases.Sommerville also mentions that subsystems may, in many cases, be 'implemented' through commercialoff the shelf software (COTS). This may require changes to the original design to accommodate a COTSsystems which does not exactly meet the original requirements.Given that the sub-systems will generally be developed in parallel to reduce the overall systemdevelopment time, problems in one may require changes or work-arounds in another. Often software is
used here in a 'glue' capacity because it is generally less expensive to change (which is why it isconsidered important to design software for change in these cases).System integrationSystem integration is the process of joining all the separately developed sub-systems to create a singleworking system. This is sometimes done in a single process at the end of the project (the 'big bang'approach), however Somerville recommends an incremental approach to reduce the schedulingdifficulty and identify problems earlier (and simplify tracking the problem down to a particularmodule).One key issue Sommerville raises here is the possibility of disputes between developers (or sub-contractors) about the responsibility for problems which occur between sub-systems due to incorrectassumptions. This is, obviously, more likely to occur in cases where the original design does not definesub-system responsibilities in sufficient details.System installationHopefully it's pretty clear what this phase involves (although remember we're talking systems whichwould usually have a hardware component). Somerville lists a number of factors which can causesystem installation to be problematic/take longer than expected.The system's final environment may not match the assumed environment, and so may not operate asexpected.Hostility from the users may cause problems (likely where the system changes the nature or reducesthe number of jobs in an organisation).The system may need to work alongside an existing system (although hopefully this would beanticipated and planned for). This introduces problems in cases where the new system can not be fullyinstalled without removing the old one.Physical problems may become a factor, especially in buildings with limited space or restrictions(historic buildings etc.)The limit of my experience in installing hardware systems is at the server and network equipmentlevel, which never really exhibited any of these problems, so I don't really have much else to add.System operationSomerville defines this system operation phase as the initial phase of operation, including training theusers, identifying and fixing where the specified requirements do not meet the business requirements,and generally getting things up and running. With any system there is likely to be an initial transition
period with increased problems as users become accustomed to the new system etc, but this shouldhopefully be minimised by appropriate planning and training.System evolutionMost systems, and especially large ones, tend to be evolved over time rather than being repeatedlyreplaced for cost reasons. That said, Somerville presents a number of reasons why system evolutiontends to be expensive.Proposed changes must be carefully analysed from a technical and business perspective (I'm not reallyconvinced by this – how it is different to the initial system development)Changes in one sub-system tend to have an effect on others, meaning that changes are usually requiredto multiple sub-systems.In cases where original design decisions were not appropriately documented and kept updated, theteam responsible for the changes may have to try to reverse engineer the reasons behind thesedecisions.As changes are made over time, the architecture of the system tends to become more complex, makingchanges increasingly expensive over time.Once again, I haven't got much to add here, although I've worked on a number of legacy softwaresystems, I've never really been involved in evolution of anything with a hardware aspect beyond someserver hardware infrastructure.System decommissioningSystems with hardware component have a number of interesting considerations in the decommissioningphase. Some sub-systems may need special disposal procedures for environmental reasons, buthopefully these considerations are planned for in the original design. Software sub-systems don't havethese considerations, however the migration of any data which needs to be retained into some othersystem may require significant effort.System procurementThe initial process for purchasing existing software systems is very similar to the engineering processjust presented, but obviously deviates at the sub-system design/development phases. The top levelrequirements and design must still be undertaken to allow decisions between purchasing and buildingto be made, and the integration and subsequent steps are also very similar.Large systems are almost always composed of a range of existing and custom built components, andsoftware 'glue' is often used to allow the sub-systems to be integrated as required (which may increasethe total cost of purchasing components).
In cases where custom built sub-systems are required, this development is often contracted out, whichcreates an issue request to tender, select tender, negotiate contract process to allow the contractor tobegin development. In many cases, this contact is then split into sub-systems and subcontracted toother organisations, the results of which are then integrated by the prime contractor.ConclusionSo, there we go. This one took a lot longer than the last, probably because the whole system levelperspective doesn't interest me a great deal, making the motivation harder to find. I guess it isimportant to have this perspective when working as a sub-contractor on projects of this sort of scale,simply to understand how your work fits into the larger picture.No Comments Yet

Caracas have moved two points clear at the top of the Venezuelan Primera Division after a 2-0 win at Deportivo La Guaira.
Two first-half goals to Rubert Quijada and Luis Gonzalez were enough to seal victory for Venezuela's most decorated club.
The win means Caracas have only lost once this season and move to 18 points, with second-placed Deportivo Anzoategui on 16 points after drawing 0-0 at defending champions Zamora.
Rock-bottom Atletico El Vigia lost its sixth successive game with a 5-2 thumping at Deportivo Tachira.
Gelmin Rivas opened the scoring for Deportivo Tachira in the 12th minute and when Jose Meza struck a brace just before half-time, the hosts had established a comfortable three-goal lead.
It got worse for El Vigia early in the second half with Yoandri Orozco striking five minutes after the restart and Rivas completing his double on 68 minutes to make it 5-0.
There was some respite for El Vigia with Joan Osorio scoring in the 60th and 63rd minutes to make the scoreline a little more respectable.
Jorge Zambrana's late winner secured a third successive victory for Carabobo as they defeated Estudiantes de Merida 3-2.
After taking an early lead through Carlos de Castro, Estudiantes conceded their advantage by half-time with Carabobo's Jean Bastidas and Emilio Renteria finding the back of the net.
Estudiantes thought they had secured a point when Imanol Iriberri struck on 79 minutes until Zambrana popped up four minutes from time to steal victory for Carabobo.
In other matches, Nestor Bareiro's hat-trick powered Aragua to a 4-1 win over Zulia, Atletico Venezuela fought back from two goals down to triumph 3-2 against Yaracuyanos and there was a 0-0 draw between Deportivo Petare and Tucanes.
Mauricio Parra's 89th minute strike secured a 1-0 win for Deportivo Lara over Trujillanos and Mineros de Guayana's contest against Llaneros de Guanare finished goalless.

J.J. Abrams briefly discusses the end of 'Fringe'
Original co-creator talks about what he knew from the beginning
Follow HitFix: Follow @hitfix
You probably know this already, but it's worth a reminder: J.J. Abrams is a busy guy.
In addition to working in post on his upcoming "Star Trek" sequel, Abrams' Bad Robot TV shingle has a busy roster that has made him a surprisingly regular presence at the Television Critics Association press tour this week, popping up to panel NBC's "Revolution" and dropping by FOX's TCA party to support the end of "Fringe."
Abrams was one of the three original creators of "Fringe," along with Bob Orci and Alex Kurtzman, and he has remained a strongly interested creative force through the five-season run which will be wrapping up on January 18.
Along with a fellow reporter -- Credit on the non-HitFix questions to Will Harris -- I got a quick two-on-one chat with Abrams on Tuesday (January 8) night, talking for five minutes about the conclusion of "Fringe" and his reflections on the sci-fi drama's 100-episode run.
Click through for the full conversation.
Question: Are you happy with the way "Fringe" is ending?
J.J. Abrams: Very much so. Obviously it's a bittersweet thing, but the fact that we've gotten this far is so crazy to me, that the network allowed the show to survive as long as it did, I don't know when that's happened before, really...
[At this point, FX's "Legit" co-star D.J. Qualls drops by, taps Abrams on the shoulder and effusively announces, "Thanks for having me on 'Lost!'"]
J.J. Abrams: The thing that's so crazy is that every other network would be like, "No..." And we got to 100 episodes. The story got to end in a way that I think was appropriate for the story, the series. So I'm sad to see it go, but I can't believe we got here.
HitFix: Do you ever look back at the pilot you made and reflect on the journey?
J.J. Abrams: Oh yeah.
HitFix: And when you started with that pilot, how much of where we ended up do you think you had in your mind?
J.J. Abrams: We knew alternate universes. We knew The Observers. We knew, even when Walter first sees Peter at the institution and he checks his eyes, we knew what was going on and why. But what we didn't know was sort of... Everything. We didn't know how crazy and wild and big it would go. We didn't, of course, know the jump forward in the fifth season. We didn't know some of the details of the Cortexiphan stuff with Olivia, but we knew that there was something she had gone through. You always have the best idea at the time and you think, "That's kinda where we're gonna go" and the closer you get to doing it, the better idea comes up and you go, "Oh my God, what about that?" So it's always a leap of faith a little bit.
HitFix: Is there anything you guys introduced and had to leave behind that you sorta miss?
J.J. Abrams: When we first started the show, we sorta saw it as a kinda "Twilight Zone"-y, "X Files" kinda crazy weird-thing-of-the-week and even though we kinda it up to some degree, we ended up sorta shifting really into more of a kinda soap opera about these characters, which I kind of loved. I don't regret leaving that sorta style or kinda template behind. I think it's actually far better not to do that, but that was one thing that changed a little bit. We didn't quite realize how serialized we were gonna get. The intention was not to be that serialized, but once the show sorta proved to be like: It's got this audience and this is what it wants to be, I think it was the right move.
Question: There were so many surreal moments that went on during the run of the show. Were there any that really just kinda made you giggle that you got away with them?
J.J. Abrams: Well, I mean, just the idea of Walter going back for Peter, what I loved about it was, I thought it was as beautiful and emotional a story as like any you'd see in a medical show or a legal show, but it was f***ing alternate universes and a father who was desperate, who against his wife's wishes was going to another universe to swap out a boy? It was so nuts, but it was so sweet and so emotional and for me, it was like one example of kinda the epitome of what the show, at its best was, which is a really emotional heart-breaking and big-hearted show about love, but it was in the context of like the weirdest crap you've ever seen and some of the most grotesque and scary... I also loved things like that monster bursting out of the bathroom on the airplane, stuff that just made me like, "I'm so happy I get to be part of a show where that happens."
HitFix: There were the three of you who created the show, but then you very quickly found the right people to run it from there. How important was that?
J.J. Abrams: Well, you know, Alex, Bob and I came up with the show and then they were very busy doing "Transformers" and all their things and so I brought in Jeff [Pinkner], with whom I'd worked on "Alias" and "Lost" and then we brought in Joel [Wyman] who we were actually developing something else with. It took us six or seven episodes, but what was great was once Jeff and Joel found their rhythm, it was like, "Oh, yeah yeah yeah. That's the show." What was great about it was they also embraced wholly the six or so episodes leading up to it where there was the rapid aging and the people in amber and all these weird stuff that like we had ideas, but they incorporated them wholly into the mythology of the series so it was kinda a beautiful way of like establishing the proper rhythm, but not being like, "Forget those first six." They did the opposite. They were like, "No, no, no. Those first six were important." So when you watch the show you go, "Oh! Episode 5, that wasn't just..." And that, to me, was something I thought was brilliant.
The antepenultimate episode of "Fringe" airs on Friday, January 11.
