So I saw commercials for this new "Fringe" show on Fox and thought "awesome!"... I missed the premiere and was sad. So I DL'd the first episode and then never watched it cause I was too busy with work/poker/Obama stuff. Tonight I had a good poker session (7 buyins woot!) and so I stopped and decided to have some fun and watch Fringe! Bad move.
I watched the first episode and it started off with a bit of an X-files feel. But it quickly dissolved into a hyper paced attempt to build a creepy x-files esque show. Didn't fly with me. they tried to introduce crazy conspiracy shit way too quickly, the characters love story got started already, and overall the story felt like they were trying to skip character development so that they could get to the "juicy stuff" asaply. It was not what I was hoping for and overall fell very flat.
Anyone else watched it?

i whole heartedly agree
i've been watching every episode ever since and (with just THREE characters) they try to have science, romance, comic relief, mystery, intrigue, cool special effects, sarcasm, drama, wit etc.
they are pushing suspension of disbelief to the brink. plus the main female character is hard to take seriously (ever).
i'll continue watching and praying, but i think its gonna flop after 1 season t.t |

yeah the female character really equaled life fail imo. The commercials got me excited thinking she'd be some awesome new tv persona, but she was like deuces missing the set on the flop rite?
the black guy who runs it all kinda seemed like a creepy cool guy in the commericals but some weirdo perv in the show. I dunno, so disappointing =( |
