I haven't removed it from my DVR even though I haven't watched the last three episodes. It seems really bad. Which leads me to believe Fox is going to bleed this series dry for another five years and it'll be gangbusters with nerds simply because it's in the sci-fi genre and they'll put up with anything (you know, like Heroes or Jericho).
Can't really compare with X-Files since I never liked or got into that show, but the acting seems a good bit worse and the show is really predictable.

Meh. I'm done with it. High hopes have been dashed. It's off my DVR.

Saying "fringe science" in this way makes me think of the "super science" from The Venture Bros. Except that the latter is a fabulous show.

I know it's cheesy but I think I would have liked it if it were the theme song from x-files in that episode

I'm still digging this show. I like that the chick used the GGGR sequence to escape.

I'll give it another chance once I can watch all of the episodes consecutively. Right now I'm having a tough time because missing out on things like previous occurrences of the gggr pattern really pisses me off, but in a way that makes me want to buy the DVD. Damn you, JJ!

To tell you the truth though, I really never noticed the reoccuring GGGR....until seeing it mentioned on the interwebs. Nor do I pick out the random observer appearances. You can fully enjoy the show otherwise.

Complaints:
- For now, Walter Bishop is used as a "Deus Ex Machina" a little too much (even if it's justified in the context of the series.).
- Formula is a little repetitive, and brings us back to the "show the villain and its evil act first, and then the investigation leading to it after".
The tenth episode (but the fourth one, introducing The Observer, was good too) has broken the mold, so to speak, and I hope we get more of that, just like it happened in Alias.
The visual quality of the product is excellent, but I expected no less from the experienced Kurtzman/Orci/Abrams trio. It's very high quality, every detail is there for a reason.
John Noble is stellar, Anna Torv is slowly getting into her character, Joshua Jackson is quite good and I really hope they make more use of the actress who plays "Asterix" Farnsworth ;)
Lance Reddick (Broyles) is (evil) god.

Oh yeah. I have liked the show since it started, but it absolutely hit perfect stride with this "mid-season" finale. It was perfect from start to finish, and paying off an earlier episode with such pure awesome tells me there's more good stuff in store. |

I agree - the cliffhanger episode was OMFGBBQ!
I love this series and cannot wait for January!

This is a great series with a likeable cast and interesting stories. I too didn't catch the gggr stuff. The last episode was quite good and revealed at a good pace. When Anna Torv's FBI agent lets down her hair (or pretends to) she has got great charisma.
Turns out Walter Bishop was a busy man back in the day, inventing and hiding many many strange devices. The writers need to set up another scientist rival maybe so Walter can investigate devices other than his own.

Wow, they picked a lukewarm and crappy episode to kickoff the second part of the first season.

There was an ad that made it look good recently. This show didn't even make it off hulu onto my hd last time I tried it out (got to like ep4) should I come back?

A nation consists of its laws. A nation does not consist of its situation at a given time. If an individual's morals are situational, then that individual is without morals. If a nation's laws are situational, that nation has no laws, and soon isn't a nation.

Yes, because it built to a great midseason finale. Then they started up again, and though it wasn't as good as the midseason finale, I still liked it. |

Anyone else notice the observer standing on the sidelines at the Philly-Cards playoff game last week? Fox promo bullshit....maybe I am just upset my eagles lost.

Fringe is doing some serious ass kicking, for goodness!
Loved the first episode after the break; can't wait 'til tomorrow night, when my personal donkey will return from the States with the new episode.

Fringe is great, but if it's a fucking alien invasion I'll just quit watching it and go watch X-Files reruns.

He's upset at the possibly that Fringe will cut&paste the conspiracy plot from X-Files.

Fringe couldn't do that plot any worse than X-Files did. They could steal from LOST too and have them jumping around in time to save themselves from the aliens...on an island. |

Hm, I don't remember writing that. Maybe I thought it was a spoiler more than a prediction. Hooray for drunk posting.

I'm liking the show for what it is but I'm getting the feeling it's gotten a little 're-tooling'. Massive Dynamic hasn't been seen yet in the second half of the season (couldn't turn around without bumping into them in the first) and now we have the sister and niece in the picture. I'm trying to see the need for introducing those characters.

So the leading lady has something to loose? |

The sister was acting extremely odd about why she was dropping in. I imagine it will end up being the center of a story arch along with some sexual tension between her and the male lead.

I just want to chime in and point out that JJ Abrams always fumbles romance and it's notably the beginning of the end of any of his series. |
