[TV] Fringe

[BluTGI]

Perfect mix of Alias, Resident Evil, & X-Files.

I'm glad the kid from D's Creek has another job.

I LOVED how they made the lost noise when they focused on the black guy from lost.

BTW You might want to add in to your will that if you are translucent then they should just go ahead and let you go.

I haven't finished watching it yet, but it does seem like a huge rip off of several popular shows. It's not bad, but I still find myself wanted to watch those other shows more then this.

EDIT: Finished watching it. Did anyone else find themselves kind of bored and checking how much longer it there was left, a lot? I don't think I'll end up watching this for very long. I like the crazy doctor guy though. I've never seen a guy be so casual about pissing his pants.

I heard that the pilot isn't testing well but the series is really supposed to kick up. Yeo said she read something where even JJ was bashing the pilot for not having enough character development in it. I don't know though. This is like 2nd hand for me so...

I watched it today and thought it was ok. Josh Jackson is the man and I'm glad they didn't make him stupid. Seems like ti would have been easy to make him the tough opposite to the smart father and capable agent. It would have drawn very natural lines in the triangle of stars.

He's the only one I like though. I just don't get this female lead yet, and the father is acting way too nuts. I'll certainly keep watching but if I don't like the characters within 5 episodes then what's the point.

I really liked the twist at the end and how they were able to keep a level of mystery within the company even when duder dies. She knows something is up and it should be interesting to see that develop.

I thought it was an awesome pilot and look forward to it continued awesomeness

I think one of the biggest pluses is having the same orchestrator of lost do this show. Hes the best at adding tension to almost every moment

I missed it because I didn't realize that it was a 2 hour pilot. I guess I need to open up the Torrent and find a copy somewhere.

[gerbo321]

It is going to air again on Sunday at 8.

[opie301]

Well there you go.

[TheEnd?]

You should try watching it on Hulu
Maybe watching it stright through, like a movie made it seem better than it is, but you should try it.

[opie301]

Hulu doesn't like people who don't live in the US.

It was hit or miss for me. I think I was more disturbed by the fact that it wasn't Laura Preppon as the female lead. Every time she was on, it was too distracting.

Episode two fo Fringe was better for me. More than half the cast is still really annoying but I actually got interested in ther story, even if the "Fringe trick" this week was something used in Wild Wild West.

I'm not sure how long I'll last with this show though. They're goign to have to start stringing together the bigger story and leaking it out week to week.

[gerbo321]

I sat down to watch this, remembered last week, and just deleted it. I know I should have given it more of a shot, but meh. I guess it is this years Bionic Woman for me. Should have blown me away, but left me luke warm at best. And unlike BW there is no way I am suffering through 5 hours of Fringe before I stop watching it.

[BluTGI]

I'm going to venture a guess that its not father & son but Creator & Clone.

[afr0puff]

Dawson's Creek has been pretty useless on the show so far. For a guy with 190+ IQ, he hasn't done much.

[joerules]

I'm going to venture a guess that its not father & son but Creator & Clone.

I'm going to guess that they're the same person, that at some point in his life he travels back in time, adopts himself, and goes crazy.
