I actually liked Fringe... it could become really good or really awful, and I think it’s going to go one way or the other really fast, but so far it was fun to watch for the special effects and explosions, and it had a halfway decent plot, but super-lame dialogue and acting. Why they even advertised the fact that it was scripted by ‘the writers of Transformers’ was beyond me, cause as far as I could tell, the writing in Transformers could have been done by giving an 8-year-old some action figures and writing down the results. Beyond that, it really looks like my type of show.
I haven’t seen last weekend’s Stargate Atlantis yet cause I still haven’t got DVR, but the one before it, “Whispers” was really good. I’ve been missing that kind of TV since the X-Files and Buffy went off the air =( Although, I agree with you on Teyla. The one thing about the Stargate franchise that always appealed to me the most was that there were cool female characters that were more than just completely useless eye candy (although I NEED Teyla’s clothes. She’s the best-dressed female character currently on TV, IMO.)
I liked Whispers cause of Nicole Deboer. The about Stargate is that they made smart look sexy..
