Hurlshort Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Anyone catch The Fringe tonight? It's a new sci-fi show, JJ Abrams is involved. It actually was pretty entertaining. The mad scientist was very fun to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xard Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 oh god, that stupid Abrams WHY WON'T HE EVER FINISH ONE SERIES BEFORE RUSHING FOR ANOTHER?!?!?!?! How can it be a no ob build. It has PROVEN effective. I dare you to show your builds and I will tear you apart in an arugment about how these builds will won them. - OverPowered Godzilla (OPG) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gfted1 Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 I watched the first few minutes but for some reason I lost interest right after everyone got melted on the plane. Each eposide is something different aka the new generation of the X-files? "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theslug Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 I'll probably watch it wednesday or thursday. Thing is 80 minutes long. Who has time for that. There was a time when I questioned the ability for the schizoid to ever experience genuine happiness, at the very least for a prolonged segment of time. I am no closer to finding the answer, however, it has become apparent that contentment is certainly a realizable goal. I find these results to be adequate, if not pleasing. Unfortunately, connection is another subject entirely. When one has sufficiently examined the mind and their emotional constructs, connection can be easily imitated. More data must be gleaned and further collated before a sufficient judgment can be reached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each eposide is something different aka the new generation of the X-files? I think so. I actually didn't turn it on until about 15 minutes in. It didn't get good until the mad scientist showed up. The other show I caught the pilot for was Sons of Anarchy. I don't like it. The main guy is terrible, he walks weird, and he's probably going to smoke around his premature newborn son. I can't watch that trash. The supporting cast is great, but it's not enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyCrimson Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 I missed the premiere, but I saw the episode from last night, after House. I wasn't impressed - the mad scientist character is interesting/entertaining, but the female lead felt lifeless and didn't seem to have much chemistry w/the other leads. I couldn't connect with her at all. I might try to catch another couple episodes, but if that aspect doesn't improve then ... meh. P “Things are as they are.

Laozi Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Its good to see William Perry finally get another chance at entertaining the masses. People laugh when I say that I think a jellyfish is one of the most beautiful things in the world. What they don't understand is, I mean a jellyfish with long, blond hair.

Spider Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 oh god, that stupid Abrams WHY WON'T HE EVER FINISH ONE SERIES BEFORE RUSHING FOR ANOTHER?!?!?!?! Because he's the showrunner of so many shows right now? Other than Fringe, that'd be exactly zero. He hasn't been involved in Lost since season one, that's always been the child of Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cruse rather than Abrams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurlshort Posted September 18, 2008 Author Share Posted September 18, 2008 It's hard to look at the Dawson's Creek kid and buy into his 199 IQ. But I really like the mad scientist, so I'm willing to watch the season and see if it improves. The lead female is a bit meh as an actress (is she trying for Jodi Foster?) but she's not atrocious.

wesley2 Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 This is too fantastical of a premise for me, I've become kind of fed up with a lot of the supernatural elements to these shows. I'd swing for something more like Eleventh Hour because it's more realistic. The show is based on science fact and all the events that happen are things that actually could feasibly occur.

Oerwinde Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 I enjoyed it. Dr Bishop is definitely entertaining. "I'll need a lab..." "You have a lab, your old one at Harvard. We reopened it for you don't you remember?" "No, but thats wonderful news!" The area between the balls and the butt is a hotbed of terrorist activity.

Hurlshort Posted September 19, 2008 Author Share Posted September 19, 2008 (edited) New Fox Show You lost my interest there. Really? They did put Firefly on the air. But they also put Roseanne on the air. What is wrong with you? Roseanne is awesome. Next you'll be knocking Married with Children. They also put Get A Life and Arrested development on the air. In fact, Fox is fantastic at giving odd shows a chance on the air. What they are terrible about is axing them before the first season is complete. edit: I looked it up, Roseanne was on ABC. You lose.

Pope Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 (edited) What is wrong with you? Roseanne is awesome. Next you'll be knocking Married with Children. They also put Get A Life and Arrested development on the air. Arrested Development was probably the unniest sitcom I've ever seen. There's a movie rumored to be coming in 2009. "I accidentally blue myself." "I was a professional twice over - an analyst and a therapist. The world's first analrapist." Gotta love Tobias. Anyway I'll likely give Fringe a chance once the season is done. Can't be bothered to wait for the main plot to progress in a show that (also) has standalone episodes.

Walsingham Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 I thought the point with Fox was that they took a Darwinian bastardy to tehir planning. They don't care if your show is weird, but they also don't care if its good. Ratings ratings ratings. "It wasn't lies. It was just... bull****"." -Elwood Blues tarna's dead; processing... complete. Disappointed by Universe. RIP Hades/Sand/etc. Here's hoping your next alt has a harp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woops, that sounded more serious than it was supposed to. I only watch Family Guy and Mythbusters so my opinion on sitcoms is pretty void. XD "Alright, I've been thinking.

GreasyDogMeat Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 Saw episode 3 and really liked it. The whole amber bio-weapon was cool. I think the show has potential. Oh, and Mythbusters it he best show ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theslug Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 Episode 3 was alright but when Peter started yelling at his dad about ethics and crap like that it got bad. Totally melodramatic and kind of bad acting; though the director didn't help at all with the atmosphere and pacing what so ever. Completely out of tune with the tone of the show.

Oerwinde Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 So... old ass thread, now its like 3 seasons later. Anyone else still watching this? Its currently my favorite show on TV, though Camelot and Game of Thrones are catching it. The area between the balls and the butt is a hotbed of terrorist activity.

Kor Qel Droma Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 I'm hooked too. Walternate is a cool name. I still haven't watched this seasons' finale yet. The episode a couple weeks back with the animated Leonard Nimoy was ace. Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
