For apparently the second time, the opening credits of the TV show “FRINGE” featured the words “COLD FUSION” in a retro styled sequence. Other technologies and science were mentioned as well, such as DNA profiling, nanotechnology, and cloning.
The particular episode was a flashback to an earlier storyline taking place in the 80’s, hence the retro looking titles and the highlighting of technologies originating during the time.
Here’s the thing – all of the other technologies mentioned are now accepted and considered “mainstream”. Just a coincidence that Cold Fusion was included in this group? A coincidence as well that it got the best spot for visibility (we tend to read left to right, Cold Fusion was in the perfect spot, the top upper left position).

I love Fringe but I keep missing episodes on TV. I just finished watching it on DISHonline.com. A benefit to being a DISH Network customer and employee is that I can watch thousands of titles for free at http://bit.ly/dJzWgo, this includes Fringe.
