Given that Wyman’s last gig was on Fringe, the fact that there is a connection between that supernatural police procedural and Almost Human should come as no surprise. The overall appearance of the two shows is similar, especially in regards to the alternate universe and the fifth season, when the Fringe team travels to the year 2036 to take on the bald, fedora-wearing Observers. Aside from hairless albinos, it’s easy to imagine that this future could easily give birth to the 2048 of Almost Human. And there’s the fact that both shows prominently feature a mad scientist. Walter Bishop (John Noble) is responsible for scientific experiments that tear at the very fabric of reality on Fringe. He spends a fair amount of time in a dark basement lab surrounded by projects in various stages of completion, which is precisely where Almost Human viewers find Rudy (Mackenzie Crook). He doesn’t look like he’ll play that big a role in the show, but it’s nice to have a wing-nut scientist around in case of emergencies.
