imdb (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1119644/)

site (http://fox.com/fringe/)


that being said i really dont get enough of a buzz from lost by itself anymore need some new good tv

[Furtherman]

Starts tonight. 8pm. FOX.

A lot of good reviews. Still don't know what to think of it, but I'll be checking it out.

[hammersavage]

I gave up on dramatic network shows but ill watch this.

If nothing else, cuz i love Pacey Witter.

[Dan G]

I've never seen a single episode of X-Files, but I do have Fringe set up on my DVR, basically just because I'm a big fan of Lost and knowing that J.J. Abrams' created both shows is reason enough for me to at least try it out.

[JustJon]

My TiVo is set.

[ChrisTheCop]

Already Tivoing the Red Sox...
I guess I'll have my meal period at 8 tonight and watch this "live".

Thanks for the heads up, I hadnt heard about it.

[Fallon]

I guess I'll have my male period at 8 tonight and watch this "live".

Ewww.

[Willmore]

Watched the pilot and the premise is OK, but the acting and the writing are just about as bad as Lost is good.

I'm sure it will find the same fan-base that tunes into CSI:Anchorage every day.

[disneyspy]

really hopin that this is a good show.liked the x files and luv lost

there's a CSI: ANchorage?
when is it on, is it on CBS also?
I can't get enough of CSI

[disneyspy]

so far-good

[spadanko]

i enjoyed it

[nukinfuts]

I really liked it sort of an xfiles but instead of aliens it's the technology and biology that the government is hiding. Definately dvr worthy hopefully fox will give it a chance...I mean look at prisonbreak...it's not that good and it's still on.I liked New Amsterdam and they cancelled it kind of pissed me off.

[GameRelatedSig]

I'll have to give it a few more episodes to decide whether or not to keep watching. Some parts seemed pretty cheesy, other parts really fantastic.

[ChrisTheCop]

The weakest link of the show is the Dawsons Creek guy's scenes with The Chick.
Were they really flirting with eachother over her boyfriend's dying body???

But all in all, I liked it. It's smart, and has better spcl effects than most tv shows.
It's one of those shows, however, that you have to pay attention to...
which I'm afraid, very afraid actually, will equate to its early demise.

I also liked the way they did the setting titles... it's different, quirky and even humorous,
although realizing that each time, it may have taken me out of the show.
Besides Dawson Creek, the worst actor was the guy who plays Matthew Abbadon on Lost.
His anger and misogyny was a bit over the top, as if he took acting lessons from Dexter's Sgt Doakes. Add to that, every time he was on, I thought of how much better Lost is than this.

But yeah, I'll be watching, as the underlying story holds alot of interest for me.

[CassiusClay]

I thought they were forcing too much on us to get us "hooked." I give it 4/10. Mainly b/c the Cate Blanchett look-a-like looked pretty good in her undies.

[Furtherman]

Not bad of a premiere. Totally X-File-sih, but without the alien conspiracy. I do like the whole "Pattern" mystery. I think this will be a good addition to Tuesday night viewing.

I didn't buy Jackson as a globe trotting con man, but I'll wait to see how his character pans out.

I also liked the way they did the setting titles... it's different, quirky and even humorous,

I liked that too. First seen in the movie Panic Room opening titles I believe. Lost uses it in the DVD menus as well.

[stinkbud]

One thing I noticed about the pilot is that JJ Abrams NEEDS new dramatic music for this show... it is the exact same music as Lost. I kept on waiting for a hatch or a smoke monster when the action music kicked in.

[Furtherman]

One thing I noticed about the pilot is that JJ Abrams NEEDS new dramatic music for this show... it is the exact same music as Lost.

I did notice that quick fiddle music that Lost uses right before it cuts to commercial.

Hell, he started this show on a plane as well.

[Freakshow]

Nice to see Captain Daniels getting work.

hmm.. I was getting a white J-Lo vibe from her.

[Contra]

I think its pretty good, the plot seems interseting enough. There were definitely a lot of "JJ-isms" in the pilot. Jackson wasn't THAT bad. I liked his humor and timing, however the one-liners after EVERYTHING SOMEONE SAID got old really fast. Ok you're a smart ass, WE GET IT!

[angrymissy]

Thanks for the heads up, I hadnt heard about it.

What is this "live" television you speak of?

[Drunky McBetidont]

they made lsd and interrogate dead people (within 6 hours of dying i guess). kind of cool. the corporations also rings the tone of lost, but again, it is watchable.

[spadanko]

word around here at the TV Guide office is that the Pilot is a bit slow, but it picks up greatly in the next few episodes.

[stinkbud]

they made lsd

I want some of that LSD, the kind that goes away and leaves you coherent within a few hours.

[Furtherman]

word around here at the TV Guide office is that the Pilot is a bit slow, but it picks up greatly in the next few episodes.

J.J. himself said that in an interview. It might have been with TV Guide!

[Willmore]

9 million people watched the premier episode. That's weak shit, considering the pilot cost 10 mil to make, and lost got 18+ for it's premier. I doubt this show makes it to the second season. I think they have 13 episodes done or ordered, so those will likely air, but I wouldn't expect a second season. Then again, they gave Terminator a second season, and Prison Break somehow managed a 4. So what the fuck do I know?

[Furtherman]

So what the fuck do I know?

Well, considering advertisers will be looking at the rating - which was a 3.21 P18-49, up +99% vs. the prior 4 week time period average. It did even better among P25-54, 3.90, up +115% vs. the prior 4 weeks. It did very well across both male and female demos. Those are good numbers, especially for a sci-fi show.

The number will go even higher once the DVR ratings come in next week.

FOX will consider it a ratings success.

[sailor]

only thing i didn't like was my wife knowing from the very beginning the boyfriend was going to be dead by the end of the episode: "it's classic jj abrams, she'll end up with the douchey son"

and isn't it less important how many watched the premiere than whether it's a good show or not and people will watch it in the long run? how can you extrapolate from the number of people watching one single episode that it won't last to a second year?

[NickyL0885]

I believe House started in the 9's for ratings and look at it now. Going into its 5th season and increased ratings each year. Plus, House is going to be the lead in for this show, just like American Idol was for House so it should get more viewers.

[nukinfuts]

One thing I noticed about the pilot is that JJ Abrams NEEDS new dramatic music for this show... it is the exact same music as Lost. I kept on waiting for a hatch or a smoke monster when the action music kicked in.

I had a Lost moment when they opened the hatch to put her in the tub of water...and will all his shows start

[Chigworthy]

Completely hideous. So awful:

The stupid car chase that ends with the bad guy running into a hidden ramp in a construction site and then the police allowing the woman to have a tender moment(s) with the bad guy before even securing the scene.

The revolutionary commuter jet autopilot system that can land a plane on it's own.

The horribly PC use of an arabic gentleman as the conspicuous non-terrorist on the plane.

The man was exploded by bombs that threw the woman up into the air and the only injuries he had was invisible skin.

The FBI allows the woman to take custody of a terrorist, gives him back his lab that he used to develop bio weapons, then allows him to stagger around in public with no restraints other than his son who has been freelancing in Bahgdad.

The aforementioned LSD/drug cocktail administered in leftover props from Altered States. Just stupid.

Wooden performances stretched over a cheap framework of badly stitched plot devices.

The prior 4-week time period? You mean the time when they were going against the Olympics without any original programming? It would have been a miracle if they hadn't had this boost. And I'm guessing that Fox would have expected a bigger boost for their flagship new show, which is what it was.

Yes, House also had a rough start, only to be rescued by American Idol lead-in, which luckily stayed for future weeks. But House has the benefit of being a good show with good actors ... well, one good actor, but it's enough. Fringe sucks, and the semi-serialized nature of the show, even if Fox is trying to market it otherwise, will hinder Fringe from gaining new viewers.

And however Fox will try to spin the numbers is irrelevant, the advertisers have already bought the ad time, and if they bought it anticipating better ratings, they will be highly disappointed. Now, if by some miracle Fringe pulls a Cheers and gains massive viewership in subsequent weeks, I'll eat my words, but I don't see it happening.

Now I like it even more!!

I liked it, seriously I have to agree with some of the comments above, but at the same time like the show because it has some promise. Was there bad and over the top acting, yep. Not too many pilots when you look back on them usually do. The characters and storylines need time to develop. I also agree if the show has too many hidden elements so early it can get lost on the audience quick which can hurt the shows future. I'm impressed with it enough to give it some more episodes as I think most people will.

[Furtherman]

The prior 4-week time period? You mean the time when they were going against the Olympics without any original programming?

Yea, the prior 4 week in which networks look at percentage gains for their shows. It's a standard measurement period. And the Olympics is a special case, whereas the only ratings that matter for advertisers is how it compared to the previous Olympics. When buyers look at NBC vs. FOX, they'll exclude all Olympic programming.

Plus Fringe did exceptionally well vs. FOX's prime time average for the quarter.

Despite your feelings for the show content, the ratings were good and if it continues next week.... Mmmmm Mmmm words.

Chigworthy if you want more "reality" I suggest you walk out your front door and live some life, just saying.

[Fallon]

Not sure about the acting. But the way the show moves is pretty good. I'll keep watching.

p.s. That was so not Southie.

[patsopinion]

Nice to see Captain Daniels getting work.

daniels was in last seasons lost also

i think he plays a great stone cold kind of guy

[brettmojo]

So when do Mulder and Scully show up?

I bet the cigarette smoking man is behind all of this.

[IamFogHat]

I missed it on Tuesday, it's pretty good, not great though, but to be fair pilots are usually the weakest of any series, with a few exceptions.
Her American accent is horrible btw.

[Dan 'Hampton]

Not sure about the acting. But the way the show moves is pretty good. I'll keep watching.

My bro says it was fens.

[mildly amusing]

are they fucking serious with this show...

[Melissa the Accountant]

If nothing else, cuz i love Pacey Witter.
Fucking A - that is the thing that made me want to see this show. Pacey Witter forever.

And I was pleasantly surprised to see Alvarez from Oz and Daniels from The Wire.

Watched the pilot and the premise is OK, but the acting and the writing are just about as bad as Lost is good.
So, you mean they are good? Ha, ha, just a little joke about Lost there. But really? I thought it was actually pretty hilarious and I really did enjoy it all so far for that reason--although I'm guessing that's not what they are going for. Pretty much everything Pacey's waterhead dad said was hilarious, whether it was meant to be or not. I thought the plot was absurd and laughable and pretty much unsustainable. There was basically no suspension of disbelief.

I totally agree with everyone who pointed out the stupid shit about it and pointed out all the ways it sucked, I still think everything the crazy scientist dad says is a laugh riot. It rules and is horrifyingly atrocious at the same time. In addition to being completely retarded:

"I used this to extract information from a corpse once. You can do that if they've been dead up to six hours."
Later: "How long has he been dead?" "Five hours." "Question him!"

Crazy doctor explaining why lady got pregnant and gave birth to a "magic old man baby": "Condoms are not 100% effective. You two should be aware of that."

"The very last time you were...intimate...were you safe? YOU WEREN'T, WERE YOU?"

"Her heart just stopped, what do I do?" "Do you have any cocaine?" "No." "That's too bad." After which, Pacey uses metal and welding equipment weighted down with phone books to resuscitate the victim. Yeah.

I mean, god, this show is freaking terrible. And I am going to continue to watch it until it gets canceled! It's on right after House, a show that gets watched religiously in our household. I'll probably keep watching it on at least a half-assed basis. I enjoy Pacey being Pacey and the crazy dad being crazy. Even though the whole premise is utterly ridiculous. I can't stop laughing!

On a vaguely related note, I looked for a House thread tonight but couldn't find one specifically dedicated. I wanted to post and say, "No fetus to dispense!" Then I watch the new Fringe episode and it's completely the opposite.

Interestingly, my husband told me tonight that he read some review where they said it starts extremely weak but that the first few episodes aren't representative of the rest. We can't figure out how this is supposed to happen, but hey, we're laughing all the way.

[TonyStark]

are they fucking serious with this show...
I'm a little confused as to the premise, it seems like a little too much supernatural stuff for my taste. Almost like the writers don't know where to go with it or something. A show like 11th hour is more on my wavelength because it's firmly based in reality. Not to mentioned it's produced by Jerry Bruckheimer...

[ChrisTheCop]

There was basically no suspension of disbelief.



Isnt it up to the viewer to suspend their own disbelief?

Talking with people about this show, they either love it or hate it. Most of the people who hate it also "never could follow" The Xfiles, which of course was a great, and hugely popular show. This show is like the Xfiles in that it deals with the supernatural, but also like Lost in that it has an "arc" storyline that is slowly being revealed and will hopefully be defined by the end of the season. But then, some people dont like Lost because it takes too long to tell that story.

I for one, am enjoying Fringe. It's not as good (so far) as the 2 shows above, but it's pretty damn inventive, and entertaining, and I'm giving it a chance to shine. For me, Pacey is the worst part of the show. It's like when Ricky Schroeder came on NYPD Blue; you just keep saying, "look it's dawson's friend!" And yes, the father is supposed to be quirky, therefore funny. The show isnt taking itself too seriously, as the Xfiles and Lost dont.

If youre watching a science FICTION show, and you can easily believe everything that youre being shown... then you should be disappointed.

[Furtherman]

Isnt it up to the viewer to suspend their own disbelief?


Absolutely. It's the difference between having an imagination or being wonder-less.

I loved the X-Files, but it seems that this show beats you over the head with the plot through dialogue....don't worry if there's anything you can't figure out....the characters will tell you exactly what you need to know.....even the name "Massive Dynamic" is insulting...why don't they just call it "Big Evil Corporation"...that might be less subtle....i'll keep watching, but only for the unintentional humor....

[Furtherman]

....don't worry if there's anything you can't figure out....the characters will tell you exactly what you need to know...

Mulder and Scully did the same thing each week, especially the "monster of the week" episodes.

Mulder would tell us the paranormal story, and Scully would give the scientific story.

you're probably right and i'm just romanticizing X Files, i'd have to go back and watch, but this show is out of control.....did you see when the main characters figured out the progeria test tube baby angle...they walked the viewer through any thing they might have missed....it was hysterical....

[cougarjake13]

I really liked it sort of an xfiles but instead of aliens it's the technology and biology that the government is hiding. Definately dvr worthy hopefully fox will give it a chance...I mean look at prisonbreak...it's not that good and it's still on.I liked New Amsterdam and they cancelled it kind of pissed me off.

yeh i liked new amsterdam as well


so far this looks cool

[Doctor Manhattan]

One thing I noticed about the pilot is that JJ Abrams NEEDS new dramatic music for this show... it is the exact same music as Lost. I kept on waiting for a hatch or a smoke monster when the action music kicked in.

I did not see this mentioned. Michael Giacchino does the music for both shows. He also did The Incredibles and Ratatouille which did not sound like Lost at all. Maybe JJ just requested Lost-like music. Did Alias' music sound like these two shows? I'm not watching anything with Jennifer Garner as a super hero/agent character.

[Furtherman]

Another decent episode this week. Walter Bishop looks to be the stand out character in this series. Very funny and quirky.

[Doctor Manhattan]

Another decent episode this week. Walter Bishop looks to be the stand out character in this series. Very funny and quirky.

Love Walter but hate his son. There is no need for him on the show (His character even thinks so) and I can't stand the way he calls his dad "Walter" I understand not wanting to call him "Dad" or "Father" but stop trying to force his first name in there. Just don't call him "Dad". The witty comments suck. Fuck you, Dawson!

All the other negative stuff I can put up with. I'm not taking this show that seriously so I can put up with some cheese. I'm a sucker for conspiracy shit and Sci-Fi which this has lots of.

I'm in the middle of the 4th episode

[Furtherman]

Looks like we got aliens!

Fox orders full season

http://community.tvguide.com/blog-entry/TVGuide-News-Blog/Todays-News/Fox-Orders-Fringe/700018287

Now, if by some miracle Fringe pulls a Cheers and gains massive viewership in subsequent weeks, I'll eat my words, but I don't see it happening.

Fringe's benefits to the net have been consistently good ratings since its 90-minute opener Sept. 9, with an average 10.7 million total viewers each week, landing it at the top of debut adult shows this fall.

Would you like fries with those words?

[Willmore]

Would you like fries with those words?


Well, it's not massive viewrship, but it's solid. I'll eat my words. House was a savior for this show. Fringe is still losing plenty of viewers - 10% declines a half hour into the show, but the numbers are solid and will likely get the show a second season. And on FOX, where Prison Break gets 5 lives, who knows?

[boonanas]

This last episode was pretty good.

[RingWraith]

I for one am really into Fringe. I think it's a great show and Walter is by far the best character.

[lleeder]

I hate how they need to have the whole son hates dad storyline. Its forced and annoying. "Oh I'm leaving, ok now I'm staying." We know you're gonna stay and yawn we don't care. And whats the point of everything having to connect to that one company if they are just gonna help them figure out that everything comes back to them. I'm still watching but I'm confused in an non interested sort of way.

[cogsdoc]

I entered the show very skeptically, and didn't like the first episode. Glad I stuck with it, I am really enjoying it now. And I agree, Walter is great, but Pacey blows.

[Kevin]

Fuck Xfiles

This show blows it awy

[fezident]

I've never seen an episode of X-FILES (or the movies) but, I'm diggin' on FRINGE. The constant exposition is a bit much but, it doesn't ruin it for me.

Some shows are "iPod only"... and this is one of 'em.
I watch it during my commute. It keeps me from killing people.

[Contra]

You could watch fringe, or just chant row row row your boat, gently down the stream...

[cougarjake13]

fringe is good,

sort of x-fileish (never watched that show much)


but i love the blonde chick

[IamFogHat]

Ok, now I know why I'm finding it hard to thoroughly enjoy this show: it is wholly and utterly predictable. To the point where it's absurdly silly. Still sticking with it though. Still pretty entertaining.

edit: the reason I posted this is I called the pacemaker bit literally the second it was set up, for reference sake.

A lot of people figured out that Jack and Claire were related... does that mean theyve figured the whole show out? I'm guessing the result is similar here. I'm pretty good at figuring out the smaller storylines on Dexter, but that doesnt mean I cant thoroughly enjoy the show. You should be proud that you figured it out, and that pride should help you enjoy the experience!

and to the guy who said this show is BETTER than xfiles, I disagree. I like this show alot, but I constantly compare it to the xfiles; Finally, there is a decent replacement to fill the hole left by that great show.

Well to be fair, there has been five episodes aired. And they get better.

[Doctor Manhattan]

Anyone else notice the bald dude from the previous ep getting off the elevator before the electro-magnet guy got on?

Looks like he was there to observe the elevator crash. I guess he is kind of like Marvel comic's Watcher (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watcher_(comics))? Also, guess he will keep showing up like that.

[lleeder]

Well to be fair, there has been five episodes aired. And they get better.

And he trys to be more predictably over the top.

[boonanas]

Latest episode was pretty good in my humble opinion. I don't even consider Anna Torv the main character anymore, even though she is the face on all ads.

Episode 4 was awesome. I stand by that.

[ChrisTheCop]

an easter egg of sorts:

The bad guy's female asian lab tech character name was Elizabeth Sarnoff,
which is also the name of a writer, producer, director on Lost.

I thought tonight's was the best storyline yet.

[cozzie]

I've watched the last couple of shows and it seems like a good show. tonights was pretty interesting. one question though , is Walter some sort of mad scientist?

[Jughead]

I just don't fit in here I tried real hard to watch it...BUT switched to the first 48....Maybe I find it more my style...:smoke:..Oh I hate hairless rats

[boonanas]

I've watched the last couple of shows and it seems like a good show. tonights was pretty interesting. one question though , is Walter some sort of mad scientist?


I guess you can say that. The first episode showed him being taken out of a mental home to help out with these cases. He was once a scientist dealing with this "fringe" science, so they needed him out of the home.

[IamFogHat]

As stupid as I first thought this show was, I've grown to really like it. I think because Abrams was attached I was expecting more substance in the vein of Lost, but over the course of these weeks I'm content with the fact that this is just a fun show, with Monster of the Week type shit that is entertaining and enjoyable with no real substance, which we all need in our entertainment lives as far as I'm concerned. I approve.:laugh:

I cringe at the beginning of almost every show because I know something terrible is gonna happen. It's awesome.

He was also in the episode before that for a brief glimpse. I forget exactly when cause it was like a month ago, with the World Series and shit, but I keep an eye out for him all the time now.

Wow was the action bad in this episode.
BTW, can that girl switch up her hairstyle slightly? It's stupid, but it isn't working and it's driving me crazy. I guess I'm queer or some other gay derivative.

[spadanko]

So did that thing clone the apple... or did I miss something? what did the equation do to that machine?

[Epschtein]

did walter ever commit a crime? i dont remember exactly what the explanation was for him getting put in an institution.

yeah, that girls hair and constantly scrunched up faces really suck. im pretty sure i have seen her with another hairstyle somewhere and she was pretty hot.

its a little dopey at times but i still enjoy it.

didnt the end of this last episode feel a little abrupt? they needed to give some sort of explanation for a few things to make it feel like a complete episode imo.

i didnt think it was very clear exactly what the machine did either, im about to rewatch that part, i thought it just made the apple a little bigger lol.

It seemed to me that the mathematical equation when put to music created some kind of electromagnetic pulse or frequency that enabled the man to grab the apple through the door of the safe. An application that most likely will lead to people being able to walk through walls.

And gee, who didn't see that kidnapper getting shot coming? Silly girl, the baddies never leave anyone alive to talk!

I am glad they are having more connections in between shows ("In Which We Meet Mr. Jones" and "The Equation" lead into this latest episode) We still don't really know what is happening but at least we are a bit closer (I hope)

well for the most part each episode is loosely connected

[cougarjake13]

i'm not 100% sure



but early in the first half of the giants eagles game they came back from a commercial and it was from a camera near the end zone


as they panned forward to the action there was a bald white guy who looked very much like the watcher guy in this show, paused briefly on him and continued to the game


it was just weird that they would show a shot like that, they usually dont come back from comercial like that

[cougarjake13]

after googling it appears it was him

Recognize this dude on the sidelines at the Eagles/Giants game? You do if you watch Fringe, because he's the weird bald dude shows up to watch most of Fringe's wackiest events. It was actually kind of cool, since Fox's camera suddenly brought up this shot, cut away, and no one on air mentioned it in any way.

Peter Bishop and agent Farnsworth serve no purpose to the show, give them something to do or kill them off! I know Peter is there to help get his father to focus but I don't think it's necessary at this point.

When I was a kid Marvel Comics had a character that appeared from time to time in the Fantastic Four called the Watcher.

He was big and bald and wouldn't interfere, only watched.

I was into the this show at the beginning. I watched -and enjoyed- the first two episodes. I didn't care for the younger wiseass, genius character (the scientist's son) but, overall... I liked where the show was headed. Then I had to miss a few and I thought I wouldn't be able to follow it. I'm looking forward to the dvd release and three day weekend.

As a bonus. The chick, the main character, really does remind me of my chick. I'm anxious to get on back on board with this series.

well that was certainly an interesting season ending episode.

wow.

[PD]

I watched last week's and this week's back to back.
Nice end, although they promo'd Nimoy's guest appearance a lot.

oh and I called the "Peter Twist" about half way through the episode, but still good.

as far as the Tivo's, yeah, damn american idol.
tonight i had recorded 5 min of the news at 10 just in case.

[IamFogHat]

1. The elevator scene made me think of Being John Malcovich
2. The Nemoy cameo suffered because he is cameoed in the Star Trek movie (both JJ Abrams), but besides that I liked it, and the final establishing shot I liked, cause it makes me wonder where they're going with this.

[Doctor Manhattan]

I really was hoping for a little more conversation between Oliva and Spock. We've waited all season and he didn't say much. And something tells me they are not going to start the next season right where they left off...

In Bell's office in the WTC (Does that mean Massive Dynamic has it's HQ there in the other universe?) the NY Post said the Obama's were moving into a "new" White House, I wonder what happened to the old one in this alternative universe.

I was thinking that Walter either took Peter or perhaps his wife from the alternative universe, I couldn't remember anything about Peter's mom but I think she is dead. When Walter put the coin on the grave (the coin Peter didn't remember because it was the dead Peter who would remember) then It was obvious (even if just for a couple seconds before they revealed the name on the grave)

Which brings up: What about the alternate Walter Bishop and William Bell? Won't the other Walter come looking for his son? Sure this Walter has a way to plug the holes, but I am sure that the other Walter can figure our another way in. Where is the other William Bell if the one from our universe is in the other one. Are they both in that universe? And if there is a second universe wouldn't there be more as well?

Anyone from New York recognize the name of the place Nina Sharp asked Oliva to meet her? Is that near the WTC site? Does the elevator also transport you to another location in NYC as well as another reality? Or maybe a more simple explanation would be that the WTC was built in a different location in the alternate NYC.

[Tall_James]

I liked that on the cover of the NY Post it had "Celtics Win Championship - Len Bias MVP" in the corner.

[Doctor Manhattan]

I'm still rocking a 4:3 SDTV and Fox really fucked up the framing on the WTC shot at the end of the show (The North Tower was cut off, you could not see the antennae)

I'm really tired of shows that are filmed in 16:9 not being letterboxed for 4:3 TVs. I watch most of my TV on my computer, but do like to check out some shows live. It seems that lately I'm seeing a lot of shots of just half of people's faces when they talk or a large emtpy spot with someone standing just outside of frame. Pan and Scan sucks!

I will eventually go to HDTV.

just watched the finale, and was quite happy. there was definitely something odd about Peter and Walter, and now we know why. Walter has been talking about all the horrible tests he had done to him - i wonder which experiment was the one that killed him, or perhaps the sickness he had very early in life killed him.

maybe peter was sick with no doings from walter and thats why walter was experimenting

[ChrisTheCop]

Dunno if theyll go into any of this, or just probably say "things are different there."

But my guess would be that since the White House was a target on September 11 2001,
that plan succeeded in the alternate timeline, and perhaps the ones that hit the WTC
were stopped by passengers on those planes, or by other means.
Agent Dunham did have visions of a very 9/11/01-ish skyline, but not the WTC, in the previous episode.

I too kinda wish they hadnt promoted, nor put his name in the opening credits, Nimoy's appearance, as it wouldve been a cool surprise. And did they really expect we wouldnt recognize his voice in the shadows?

I caught up this past week on hulu, and cant remember one good reason why I stopped watching as it's broadcast. Great show, and its gonna be back on my tivo.

[Aggie]

I watched the first 3 episodes last season and I was out because I had so many other shows I was following but I have time now.

Can I just start watching or did I miss some major plot points and be lost?

yes, like x-files, each episode had a main plot you that you need to follow, and then other stuff.

maybe not all, but probably the last few episodes, and definitely the finale.

[Aggie]

dammit. ok. are they out on dvd yet?

[WampusCrandle]

dammit. ok. are they out on dvd yet?

yeah, they are. im watching the last dvd now, in preparation for tonight.

[Aggie]

ok thanks, might need to get on board.

[WampusCrandle]

ok thanks, might need to get on board.

yes you do. it's a kick ass show.

[WampusCrandle]

the new season of fringe starts in 20 minutes people

[BlackSpider]

the new season of fringe starts in 20 minutes people

I'm ready.
I watched the last season thanks to you...

[Foster]

forgot all about this, thanks!

[WampusCrandle]

I'm ready.
I watched the last season thanks to you...

i also like the fact that the creators said that this is a show for fans. if you don't like it, don't watch, and that all fans need to watch every episode in order - they are all important to the underlying story.

[PD]

"The old "X" designation"

:clap:

[PD]

so no one is watching this anymore?

I just watched last week's episode, and we now finally see a major plot advancement.

[lleeder]

I guess this shows not popular anymore. I just watched the last 3 episodes in a row. Why did they have an episode that was out of sequence? I guess they never were gonna show it then got desperate for an extra episode. Kinda sucks when you have a dead charcter reappear on a new show.

[King Imp]

Still watching here. It's probably my favorite show right now and I still contend that Walter Bishop is the best character on TV today.

i'm still watching also, but this fucked me up too...you can't just randomly have a dead guy come back

[lleeder]

They really should have just said it was a lost episode or something. To run it and make no mention that it was out of sequence is stupid.

I loved the episode where Walter gets his memories back and is all serious and normal sounding.

I'm not realy a fan of the stand alone episodes. They come off like an Xfiles imitation to me when they do those (which I'm sure will make someone say Xfiles is an imitation of something else and so on...) Just focus on the main crazy two world shit. I dont want to know about freaky faced little kids or girl thats possessed.

I'm with you on this. More of the invasion!

Ya, I was like WTF when I saw Charlie and had to go online to see what the deal was.

Not a problem though, got two new episodes last week.

That's a good thing.

[joeybags]

two new episodes good...yes

no plot advance was dissapointing

this week looks good too but i think its another stand alone episode

[PD]

That's a good thing.

yeah, it was an ep left out of last year- and it was weird for them to put it in, especially on a different night, without mentioning it.

I loved X-Files, and I don't mind the non-mythology shows, but yeah, the one's that advance the mythology are the best.

By the way, in that "lost" episode, there was an appearance by "the watcher".

[cougarjake13]

yeh it fucked me up as well


they also did it with bones also, cause i was like hodgens doesnt have that long hair anymore

[CountryBob]

Haha - Walter killed a dude last night and got off scott free!

[Fallon]

Haha - Walter killed a dude last night and got off scott free!

Walter is fucking great and did the right thing.

Stupid Nazi!

[cougarjake13]

not sure if anyone else noticed but at the end when peter asks walter about how could the nazi know the formula if he didnt get it from the books and they pan to the picture


it has the nazi and a guy that looks like walter



i think walter is the grandfather he's talking about to peter and he and the nazi somehow have slowed their aging process or time traveled


cause earlier when the nazi was in the crowd and saw walter he said he was trying to place him and that he looked like his father

then as he was dying he was looking up to where walter was , said the old name of bischoff and called him a traitor

[Chimee]

I'd say Bischoff was the name Walter's father used, the Nazi slowed his aging, but I doubt Walter did.

I think they'll limit Walter's big secret to the thing with Peter.

[Brad_Rush]

I'm sure someone else has mentioned this in this thread, but is anyone else annoyed that they keep acting like they didn't move production out of Long Island this season? Vancouver looks nothing like New York/Boston/DC, and yet they still act like that is where they are. They should have at least worked into the show that they were relocating to the West Coast for some reason or another. It is just ridiculous seeing the coastal redwoods and constantly misty outdoor scenes and we are expected to just ignore it...

if that makes you not enjoy the show thats not to great. Just think because they moved it to a cheaper location the show stayed on the air so i would say its not to bad all things considered

And I agree that the Peter/Walter secret will be Walters only secret

Also Astrid has gotten better looking as the shwo has gone on

THis week should be really good

[joeybags]

yea finally this week they advance the main story of the two worlds

looking forward to it

[disneyspy]

i wonder if he has 2 dicks

[joeybags]

one cut ...one un-cut

[disneyspy]

Holy Shit!!!

[Brad_Rush]

Holy Shit!!!

My thoughts exactly... god damn having to wait till April!

[Dan G]

Anyone notice at the very beginning how they spelled "Manhatan?"
