Fringe lost me when they did the episode in which a hooker becomes pregnant minutes after her encounter with a client and gives birth an hour later. Six hours after that the baby becomes a fully grown man who dies of old age while roaming the hospital basement. To go from a newborn to a fully developed man require the infant to add mass - at least 100 pounds. Where did this mass come from? In the womb, the fetus can draw from the mom, but once out in the hospital it has to get the mass from something. Did they set it on a block of suet instead of a crib?

This is such a fundamental question, I was amazed that none of the "investigators" asked it right from the start. "Ummm...how does a baby put on a hundred pounds of meat in the cellar of a hospital?" These guys are supposed to be bright, aren't they?

The very idea was so utterly ludicrous and unscientific I tuned out and never came back.

This show does require one to suspend belief.

It does lay some interesting paranormal events...hence the title of the show, IMO.
