Fringe 2005 - Reunion of the Top Ten Class of 2004 - Many Happy Returns part deux

Aspects I Studios - Soul Collector

Bring on the cheese! Aspect I was responsible for last year's sci-fi offering The Judas Cradle, which by virtue of its concept alone made a place in my pre-Fringe Top Ten:

"Three dangerous criminals are stranded on another planet and left in charge of the genetic material of an entire future colony."

Great concept, low-tech and amusing execution. Not the best show in the Fringe, but certainly among the most fun. This year's Fringe outing promises more of the same. The concept this time...

"The devil hires a collection agency to harrass his dead beat debtors. Musical dark comedy."

Existential musical comedy. What's not to like? Check them out.
