The New Show 'Fringe'

Have any of you seen that new J.J. Abrams show on Fox? Fringe is the new 'fictional science' show that is attracting more and more viewers in its second season. The term 'Fringe' is actually referring to Fringe Science, an area often correlated with Pseudoscience (although there are differences in my opinion). What I want to know is that if all of it can be proved.
The idea of levitation was already somewhat proved in the field of pseudo scientific study; but such things as mind control using color repetition seems a bit far. Now, for those Fringe lovers out there, I'm not trying to talk bad about the show, I am simply asking if the writers of the show are stretching the field a bit far? Levitation and invisibility are one thing, but mind control and hallucinogens are closer in the area of theoretical science.
Someone- please give me some feedback, email me, and we can get some ideas flowing.
Thanks!
