Does every J.J. Abrams TV series about scary science have to begin with a plane crash?

In this new trailer for "Fringe," Abrams' new series scheduled this fall on Fox, the action begins when — as a plane is careening out of the sky — one of the passengers injects himself with something that ... well, let's say death by the actual crash probably would have been preferred by most passengers. And if you like that syringe scene, you're in luck because the trailer contains about a dozen more needle pricks. Eeuuuw!
