Fringe

[white_s2k]

Anyone been watching this show on Fox? One of the best shows I've seen in awhile, quite refreshing from the usual crap that is on TV. Dr. Bishop is one of the most unique characters I've seen on TV in years.

Walter: "Do you have any cocaine?"
Peter: "No!"
Dr. Bishop: "Oh - That's too bad. You'll have to shock her heart then."

:r :r :r

I TRIED to not watch this for some reason, why I don't know, but this damn show is awesome. And your right that crazy dude is a great actor, hell he might be running around in here. Watch it every week.

[Godofgravity]

I really enjoyed this show when it first started, but by the 4th ep or so I lost interest. The concept is good, and Walter is the best part of the show and a great character. But, after a couple episodes it became less "haha, guy stuck in an institution for years makes some off the wall comment" and more "oh, here comes Walter's line this episode."

Like I said I liked the concept but the acting just didn't live up to it for me. It went from something to I wanted to watch every week to something I'd stop on if flipping through but not make a point to watch. Overall not bad, but not great, just my :2

[King James]

watched my first episode last week and really liked it.... will have to see them all now, damnit! :)

[ChINaMaN1472]

Another formulaic show, but very entertaining. One of the few shows I watch week to week rather than waiting for the whole season. The acting wasn't that great at the beginning, but it began to pick up after the few episodes.

[white_s2k]

I hate American Idol..

[Kreth]

Thought I'd bump this back up with the new season starting tonight...

Awesome show. I cant wait for it each week. Similar realm as X-Files but different. I dont find the acting sub-par at all. My :2

[King James]

the one tonight didn't record for me :( Will have to watch on hulu tomorrow

[Kreth]

Well, I won't drop any spoilers then. The first ep was interesting. I'm looking forward to this season.

Isn't it made by the same company or writers as the show "LOST"? I like the show a lot. Didn't know the new season started tonight though. :mad:

I watch this, and enjoy it. To me, it's not as lost as "Lost" is. Fringe is weird for a reason, although I haven't figured out what that reason might be. Lost was just weird to be weird - who knew WTF was going on there? Hey, even the actors didn't understand it.

[timo]

Love it :)

[coastietech]

Great show.. This along with House, Chuck, The Office and Heroes are my favorite shows. :tu

[Kreth]

So apparently the big plotline, at least for for the start of the season, will be what happened to Dunham in the alternate universe.

I am working my way through Season 1 of Fringe.

So far I think it's a decent show, but the episodes have been kind of redundant.

Something weird happens, Walter Bishop pulls some crazy experiment out of his ass and saves the day.

Does the story ever deviate from this? :ss

You must be watching a different show...I've never seen Walter's ass, therefore never seen anything pulled out of said ass...

Apparently, Walter was friends with Arthur C. Clarke...

Did anyone else think is CRAZY that 'chuck' (the agent who was killed) was back last week?! The DVR recorded it, but was it supposed to be a pilot or what? That agent is dead!

I had the same thought. I think the character's name is Charlie.

[muhren]

Charlie...that's right! Error you think, or are they calling the audience stupid and just plopping him back in?!

[pnoon]

I'm not sure why they did it but they have to know the fans are not stupid.

[Kreth]

Are you guys talking about Monday? The ep last week was a repeat of the one with the guy from the alternate universe who had implanted Walter's memories in other people.
There was a new ep Monday (which we missed because Two And a Half Men and Big Bang Theory were also new) and a new one last night.

Yep. The Monday episode was, to the best of my knowledge, new. And Charlie was in it. Very strange. Of course, strange is what Fringe is all about.

[Kreth]

According to Zap2It (http://blog.zap2it.com/ithappenedlastnight/2010/01/fringe-charlies-still-alive-but-not-quite.html), it was an unaired season 1 ep. And Abrams said Fringe would be less confusing than Lost... :r

It would have helped us had they mentioned that at the beginning or something!

The whole time we're like, what is this? Some alternate universe / time jump?!

[Neuromancer]

TBH, it should have been pretty easy for the viewers to realize it was just an unaired episode from when Charlei was still alive...I watch it...it's great...twilight zone and x-files all wrapped up in one...:tu

[Darrell]

This is a great show, it's not redundant like I thought.

[Kreth]

Is it just me, or does it seem like there's less emphasis on "the Pattern" this season?

[Kreth]

IMDB Goofs set me up for this one: So was I the only one to notice the "misspelling" of Manhatan at the beginning of last night's episode. It seemed kind of strange for a series where the smallest detail can wind up a major plot point. As soon as they showed the merged guy, I realized I'd been had.

John Noble should definetly get an Emmy.

[Darrell]

This is a great show. I just got caught up and am on schedule for the 4/1 return.

I am really curious how Olivia is going to handle finding out Peter is from the alternate universe. It was fairly certain to me early on this was the case because Walter mentioned before "He's already died once" or something like that.

I don't think Olivia is going to make a big deal about it or anything. I mean, it's not like he's been a problem.

Thoughts?

[Kreth]

With my amazing grasp of the obvious, I figured out what was going to happen almost a full minute in advance... :r
It seemed strange to me that Walter didn't see that coming. Was that supposed to be a by-product of his general eccentricity?
Also, I honestly can't remember, did we ever find out what happened to the alternate Dunham? Did she have a goatee?

I do not believe that we did.

Does anyone else get the feeling that Olivia and Peter were together in the alternate universe? Walter keeps making a lot of comments about the two of them becoming an item.

I'm thinking the other Dunham must be dead, or "our" Dunham would have ended up like the merged guy in the last episode, when she met Bell.

Didn't Walter fetch the other Peter right after "our" Peter died? So he would've been 7 or 8, kinda young to be dating...

We don't know enough yet about the rules between the two universes, so I could be wrong about the other Dunham.

I wonder if they are going to try to bring the alternate universe Charlie back. Isn't it odd he just died and that was it? No funeral? No telling his wife, etc?

Interesting. They are kinda thin in supporting cast with him gone and the plot with Dunham's fiance wrapped up last season. Although, they have started featuring Astrid more this season.

I don't remember any explanation as to where she went (she was just on the one ep, IIRC). I guess we were just supposed to assume that she got sent back down to the minors with Dunham back in action.

Well, at least they didn't kill her off. When she first showed up, I was a little afraid that they were going to start having "red shirt" agents.

So I caught something in last night's repeat: Dunham was talking to Peter when her ability to spot items from the other universe kicked in. So how come she didn't spot the "glimmer" then?

They could have done a better job deaging John Noble to play a younger Walter.

Any speculation as to where Peter ran off?

I know he will be back, but I imagine he's a bit overwhelmed with all that has happened.

I feel bad for Walter, I probably should not because if we look at the history of his experiments and scientific studies, he's kind of a creep. However, I can understand how he was devastated at his son being gone.

So the other Walter, or Walternate as I've seen him referred to on a few Fringe forums, apparently is a little slower than our Walter. The question is, who is the Secretary? Is it Walternate, or someone else?

As in many plot lines and stories, I imagine he ran back to somewhere from his past where he felt safe. Not sure if we know where it is, but I'm sure we'll see it next episode.

I also feel for Walter. I think despite his ethical problems, he is a good person at heart, and realizes that the things he has done are reprehensible.

I'm sure Fox has downplayed it for legal reasons, other than Walter using LSD In his experiments. But, that's how I pictured Walter and Bell in their prime, a couple of Timothy Leary types not above experimenting with illegal substances to advance their research.

*If* Walternate is not Mr. Secretary, I think Peter may be the catalyst between the two Walters, getting them to cooperate against the Secretary and Newton.
I'm curious how they will wrap up the William Bell storyline, as I've heard Nimoy wants to retire to explore other interests, and get out of the public eye.
And speaking of Nimoy, was it just me, or did the brief glimpse we got of Bell (when Nina Sharp was talking to him through the portal), look more like an avatar (general meaning, not the giant blue guys from Cameron's movie)? What's up with that? (cue Kenan) :r

Ya know something? That's pretty funny...they go out of their way (including editing old Tom & Jerry cartoons) to keep cigarette, cigar, and pipe smoking off of TV and out of the movies, but here they had Dr.Bishop using a bong and smoking his own special concoction of ultra-maryjane...:banger

I enjoyed it, even though my theory got shot down (well, I guess Peter *could* still get Walter-squared cooperating). The actress playing the Sheriff guested on The Good Wife a while back (as an opposing lawyer) and I hated her, but she was pretty good in this.

-The US map in Walternate's office caught my eye. Something looked off, but I don't have a DVR.
--The trip across "burned out" the Cortexaphan Kids (tm). Will this have an effect on Dunham down the road?
-Who was the leader of the alernate team? Is he one of the Cortexaphan Kids in our universe?
-Was that Nixon on the silver dollar used to do the gravity test?

No Tivo, so dunno. Regardless, I have to call BS on the show. OK, Olivia is Olivia in both worlds. Walter is Walter, Peter is Peter (or would be, were he not "half-dead"), Martin Luther King Jr. is apparently MLK Jr. there, all the other people are the other people . . . but they never heard of Andrew Jackson? WTF? Does this mean that Col. Jackson was killed down in N'awlins in 1814? And if so, why could not one of those brainiacs mentioned that? :confused:

Hell, I don't expect my fantasy fixes to be logical, but I do expect some logical consistency in my illogic. Does that make sense? You know what I mean, regardless.

Well, we do know that there are some significant differences. Maybe Jackson was never president? I wouldn't expect them to have heard of a specific colonel, no matter how distinguished his career. And maybe whoever was prez in Jackson's place led down a road where technology developed at a slightly quicker pace.

Let's see what tonight brings us.

Technically, you're a dumb$hit. :r
It's (word #1) television (word #2). Hence, the two word explanation.

I'm glad we finally have something in common. :D :r

I think I've figured it out. At the end of tonight's ep, Denethor will wake up in Minas Tirith and say, "I just had the strangest dream..." ;)

What, we talking an alternate Middle Earth now? Kewl.


Last night tied up a number of loose ends for me, but opened up another whole can of worms for next season. Can I wait? Guess I'll have to.

Tried to make a joke (that no one got) referencing the finale of Newhart and the fact that John Noble played Walter and Denethor.

I figured out the Dunham switch right away. Next season will be interesting.

Eh...My thoughts are that we did a shape shifter / type writer villain when Charlie was taken over.

My issue with time travel is always the same...the slightest change would change everything! i.e. Dunham's mom is alive in alternate universe yet she still works in the FBI there? Her sister is dead in alternate world...which may affect her profession as well.

Anyway, I still watch it and try my best to get over literal "what the hecks?" It is still a fascinating show in that you never know what will happen next!

Yes, you must. :tu

I did. Just finished.

It was worth going back and starting over. Couple things tho:

Who exactly was Newton? Why was his head frozen, who froze it and how did he have knowledge of not only Walters brain parts, but the people they were in.

And why was the German so pissed at Bell and why did he want to kill him? He could make a doorway, why did Newton need the brain-memories to figure it out? All he had to do was get the German and he could have extracted his info.

Also, I don't buy Olivias reaction to being imprisoned by Walternate. She wouldn't just break down and beg.


Off to watch Dexter Season 4 now!

I gotta watch tonights episode but let me say ....I liked the first seasons better. This new season MEH. The whole alternate universe plot is just not my thing. I'll keep watching but if it doesn't get better soon I'll probably stop after this season.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?>?!?!?!?!

2 weeks no fringe.......because of baseball :td:td:fl:bh

[Bill86]

This weeks episode, partial interesting. Not bad ....not great.

[LooseCard]

DVR should have caught it last night, so I'll get to see it this weekend.

Sad to hear that it was only partially interesting tho. I'd swear I'd seen a clip which lead me to believe that Peter figured her out and tells her to go back....



I think I'll stay out of this thread till I see it........

[gvarsity]

This show has really grown on me. I have started to look forward to it each week. It has found it's mojo and has become really interesting. Although I have not caught up with this weeks episode.

I'll be honest this season is confusing the piss out of me. Maybe I should stop following 18 different shows?

[The Poet]

The only thing that really confused me last night was how Olivia could "jump" out of a tank of water, yet not be totally wet standing in the gift shop. Hell, I was looking forward to seeing that light whith shift plastered to her frame. ;)

[Bill86]

Agreed she's pretty hot

Yeah, THAT'S what I'm talkin' about! Hose her down . . . and her alternate, too! :r

This. She looks hot both blonde and brunette ....2 of her :dr

[LooseCard]

Even better as a Redhead... :dr


I'm finding this season a little confusing too. The first season was absolutely the best.

She was wet in the giftshop, but I too would have expected her to have 'sticking' issues with that flimsy outfit. :=:

'Her mind' is fighting back, so this will swing the show again... we'll see how it pans out.

[Bill86]

Agreed the first season was awesome definitely pulled me into the show. This season......barely keeping me watching.

I also wish such issues were present. For realistic purposes of course.....

[The Poet]

Well, it's over. I guess it is appropriate that Walter "atoned" for his sins with his self-sacrifice, since many of the problems - of BOTH universes - were his doing.

[jcruse64]

So who squashed the bald guy between 2 cars; the kid or Olivia??????

[JoeCool87TC]

My bet's on Olivia, because in some of the early episodes she was described as a "warrior".

[The Poet]

Yeah, I thought that Viv had accessed her telekinetic force and squashed that bald bastid. Remember, she was still highly juiced on the "cortexiphan", even if she was not still able to "jump".

[jcruse64]

What I thought too. Before that, they were arguing about what they'd do, and the kid does the "hush" sign, and out comes a plan from someone else that worked. Then, the bald guy gets smashed, and the kid makes the "hush" sign at Olivia, so I figured she did it without really realizing she could or did till the kid shushed her.

I did not always stay up to date with the show, but enjoyed it when I did watch; I liked the finale.
