Just saw the first one (I love online playback, esp. at HD), was pretty disappointed. Loved X-Files, Twin Peaks, etc., but this just seemed too forced.
Get into a bin of liquid sitting for 20 yrs., get drugged by a locked up psycho you've known a few hours...dunno, seemed so far fetched that I couldn't get into it.

I like the show but tend to agree that it's a bit too far fetched. Dr. Bishop does all these things that are unproven and they always work. A bit lame.
My thinking is this show should have been set in the near future to sell some of the stuff they are doing.
Still... entertaining show. does remind me of X-Files.

A bit far fetched at times and there isn't much character development. But I'll keep watching cuz I'm bored.

this show is so much worse than it should be. take one of these mysteries that gets solved in 40 minutes and stretch it out to 5 or so episodes - at least make it HALF believable. that's the great part about lost that seems to be, well, lost on this team. instant gratification isn't any good in sci fi. keep the subplots and extend the main ones. i don't care about seeing something brand new and "exciting" each week, i'd rather they pace this shit out.
plus it's weird to see cedric daniels. just makes me wish the wire was still on.

I watched the pilot and had to stop because everything just seemed like it was 'trying too hard'... the writing, the acting, the clever quips, the casual smirks and one-liners, the serious moments... it was so contrived and campy. Meh.. by the sounds of it, im glad I didn't waste any more time on additional episodes.

I watched all 3 episodes yesterday bc I was done with Bones and House. I find the show possibly blah because they solve everything in one episode. I do want to like it though, the typography is kind of cool. It's not the X-Files, but these are different times and it has already been done, that show wouldn't be seen as good in today eyes bc it's been done. I didn't watch the movie, but I know it sucked. Plus lost started to suck after the first season, they drag that shot out forever...

I think the show is lame. Let it be heroes who keeps our sci fi attention

anyone watching it,
I'm loving everyonce of it,
btw I'm a big fan of Xfiles but I've moved out of comparing every scifi series to it. it was good, they ruined it with two films and a sex scene.put telekinesis and teleportation with a killer virus and i'm sold

i have been watching the show but a lot of the plots are too far fetched. i feel like the Doctor and his son share too much camera time and it makes their conversations forced so one of them has to go. i like the premise of evil medical conglomerate and the crazy scientists so i'm sticking around hoping it figures itself out soon.

nice how they are back on the mainplot now.
That Walter is truly a great actor, I hope he turns evil or something.
or maybe a polar bear ..

I love Fringe, Walter Bishop is one of the best characters on TV ever!

I watched a handful of episodes when it started. I got extremely frustrated with the inconsistencies though. Major cases were going to a crazy old guy with almost no support and that simply made no sense. The most frustrating part is that they wouldn't use their knowledge from one case on the next. For instance, one time they rigged up a device that allowed them to talk to a dead body, but never again did they use this technique, although they clearly needed it several times afterward. These things put together just made it so ridiculous I had to stop watching.
- I bet you didn't like the X-files then ;pgeorgesIII

- I love sci-fi. I really wanted to love Fringe, and made it through most of the first season, but just got frustrated.monospaced
- This is the thing with Scifi,
it is all about personal taste and you should never asked geek about it ehehehegeorgesIII - I disagree. I think sci-fi is better served when it can stand up to geek logicmonospaced
