Who saw it? We got about halfway through watching it on the tivo last night, but should finish the rest tonight.
I'll hold off on comments for now, to prevent SPOILER ALERT!

It played last night, my tivo didn't pick it up. Strange must have conflicted with two other programs.

So I watched the rest of Fringe last night...meh. I was expecting more, the previews made it look like some sci-fi superhero show. It was just a couple of normal people trying to figure out why some disgruntled employee used chemical weapons on them. A few extra notes (SPOILERS):
*Joshua Jackson is really a whip on this show. He reminds me of Ryan Reynolds character in Blade 3, trying to hard to be the hip, wise cracking sidekick guy. He really needs to let the game come to him...
* I had no idea what the hell was going on with the "pattern" or that Terminator armed lady at that corporation. Too much werd stuff going on...
* The part where the lady FBI chick was drugged up and linked into the other FBI guy's mind was just silly. At least she got a nice shot of LSD out of it...
* The crazy scientist guy was kind of funny in a quirky way, I was glad he stayed on the show and didn't get "sent back"...
* The previews for the upcoming shows looked kind of interesting, I'm gonna try and stick with it for awhile but it needs to show me more than what it did. Arla really got into the show towards the end though...

He really needs to let the game come to him... About 90% of what's wrong with this show is this guy's over-the-top wisecracking antics. It's very forced, and he's really not good at it at all. He thinks he's like the new George Clooney or something, right down to the gratuitous stubble. Yeah, I was hoping the show would be better, but I will also stick it out through another couple of episodes. A lot of the story and where they appear to be taking it looks promising, so it's too soon to bail out yet. |

After Bob's review, I wasn't sure if I would like it or not but I enjoyed it. Joshua Jackson was't as bad as some people have said. The crazy old scientist was the one I liked the least. I'm going to stick with it a few more episodes to see if they get better or get worse.

I haven't seen the 2nd episode yet but I saw that the ratings were up 68% from last week.
Could be that JJ has another hit on his hands....

I watched episode 2 last night, I thought it was better than the first one. I was onboard with the serial killer ripping off pituatary glands...good schtick.

They pretty much tell you this is happening at the beginning of the episode. The msytery is figuring out who it is and why he is doing it... |

Saw the 2nd episode today. Liked the old man a little better this time. In fact the whole cast worked for me. I liked this episode more then the first one.

Watched tonight's episode, it seems to be picking up more steam as the show progresses. The bald guy is an interesting character although I'm not sure I am onboard with him just being an "observer". Maybe he will get more involved further down the road. What was the deal with that laser gun and mind reading machine the hoodie cap guy was using? The scientist guy seems to be turning more and more bossy and OCD. Joshua Jackson's character is getting less annoying, I'm glad they scaled back his annoying one liners. I know the chick is supposed to be the main character but these last few eps she has been nothing but a statue for show...

I'm starting to come around on this show with each passing episode, although the constant shouting matches between the mad scientist and his son are growing tiresome. "The Observer" is an awesome new character. We need to mix in a lunch soon featuring a raw roast beef sandwich with 11 jalapenos, an entire shaker of pepper, and room temperature water.
