It's like a modern-day X-Files, IMO. I thought it was great.

Did anyone else catch it? What did you think?

I wasn’t able to see the end but I thought what I saw was excellent. I like TV that is different and this certainly was.

Worth another viewing. I thought it was pretty cool, but then again, I am sucker for Sci-Fi stuff, X-Files, Battlestar, Star Trek NextGen, etc.

One of the saddest nights I have had in the last 15 years was the final episode of Babylon 5.

I really enjoyed it. And I hope that right now, this minute, they have the last episode written, so that I can continue to enjoy it.

Chris Carter can burn in Purgatory as far as I am concerned, for having twenty different plot lines that converged and plopped like a bag of wet cement in the last X-files episode. Whole ideas that didn't fit evaporated, complex ideas that really, honestly, needed to be summed up in SOMEBODY's plot exposition were never resolved...what a nightmare. And what a disappointment.

This is like a fresh start, unencombered by any conveluted story arc. Hope it runs true.

If it's good, I'll rent the DVD. I saw it start to go on last night, didn't know what it was and flipped the channels. (I ended up puting on the radio.)

I didn't get into Lost until sometime in the middle of the second season.

What did you think?

I liked it but there were a few laughable things like the crazy guy out of nowhere saying "I just pissed myself". The name of the E V I L company something like "Super Duper Dynamic" was kind of goofy as well.

Overall, it was a fun ride.

I TiVoed it just in case I heard something decent about it. Maybe I’ll give it a shot tonight now that I’ve read this thread.

So far, it hasn't made me interested in any of the characters. No Mulder or Scully. That's for sure. Maybe it will improve. I'll watch a few more episodes to see.

I really liked it and will continue to watch...since it comes on after House, I’m not too likely to miss it anyway!

I watched SciFi....

Probably won't ever see the network stuff except for FOX.

But your assessment seems to be right on as to the X-files connection.

Good plot. A few nice twists. Decent acting. Will see.

On the other hand, Terminator, The Sarah Connor Chronicles season two premier rocked!

It has potential. I knew right away, spoiler alert for folks planning to watch it on sunday, that Mark Valley, of Keen Eddie a good show that got axed on fox years ago, was the villain. The mad scientist is okay. The female lead is okay, not quite as hot as the babe on bones or number 13 on House. But the mad scientist’s son I though was good. And the Fringe groups boss, was good . So I’ll tune in next week to see what unfolds. And PS, Blair Brown’s character has potential to be like the cigarette smoking guy on the x-files.

I thought the characters were interesting. Especially the quirky scientist and his son...the character development of those two parts could be really interesting.

Is the FBI boss (Lance whatever his name is, I forgot) going to be in two series...this one and LOST? I guess it’s possible because his role on LOST is very limited.

>>When Olivia's investigation leads to multi-billion dollar corporation Massive Dynamic and its manipulative corporate executive<<

Now THERE'S a plot twist I've never seen before.

Not having seen the show, would the evil guy in charge of evil-doing be, perhaps, a WM?

Just asking. . .

;-)

It was just enough better than “OK” for me to keep watching, how about that? I wasn’t crazy about the first episode, but it might grow on me. It is pretty interesting and different. Not sure if they can find that chemistry between Mully and Sculder though...

It was OK. Too much techno and psycho babble. On top of that it seemed to me that they were trying too much to recreate the tone of Lost. Especially with music/sound when going to commercial.

Maybe it will grow on me.

Sorry, but I kept thinking about Charlie Conway and the Mighty Ducks. My son loved that movie and I must have seen it 100 times. “Quack quack Mr. Ducksworth,” is what I wanted Peter Bishop to say to his dad.

I thought it was meh....

The ratings were not good. Fringe will not last long if ratings doesn’t increase.

Was “X-Files” broadcast in black and white with Burma-Shave commercials?

As a 43-year-old, I resent the “modern-day” caveat ;)
