SPAWN was a cool movie by JuanSanchez	Oct 1st, 2009 01:34:16 AM
Johnny Legs turned in a great performance.

Great line.
I hope Van Halen hurries up and makes some new music. by JuanSanchez	Oct 1st, 2009 02:38:02 AM

I love those freaking Observer videos. by LordEnigma	Oct 1st, 2009 02:47:03 AM
Seriously, the rewinding effect always trips me out. Oh yeah, William Bell is the Devil, and Walter Bishop got scrambled from getting Earth 2's Peter Bishop. Good times.

And I sure am becoming more and more interested in Fringe. Hope it pulls an X-Files and becomes great by Season 3.
I really like this show. by Kubla_Khan	Oct 1st, 2009 03:59:21 AM
Shape-shifters ahoy!
I know Entertainment Weekly said as much... by Heckles	Oct 1st, 2009 05:52:31 AM
Is this Entertainment Weekly's website? Is it? Because I like Entertainment Weekly. It's nice that in the age of the internet a weekly magazine that covers entertainment can print relevant information before a website that spreads its quotes across several direct-to-video covers. Where am I?
Joe Buck + FOX Sports = Extra Douchey by YackBacker	Oct 1st, 2009 07:15:55 AM
Just my "observation"
This show has... by Red Ned Lynch	Oct 1st, 2009 07:20:07 AM
...grown on me. Hope it survives the death slot they've dropped it in.
Love Fringe, Flashforward Not Getting A Talkback? by Crow3711	Oct 1st, 2009 07:45:50 AM
I thought after last weeks premiere was fairly large, and for the vast majority, very enjoyable, it might be worthy of a weekly TB right alongside Fringe. perhaps a wait and see approach is better, to judge its worthiness. Either way, very much looking forward to tonight. Should bring two excellent episodes.
Re: conspiracies by YackBacker	Oct 1st, 2009 07:53:57 AM
I love the genre, the whole PARALLAX VIEW, THE CONVERSATION vibe, but I was watching an old X-FILES episode the other night and it struck me how silly the premise is--- that anyone within the government has the competence and the resources to do anything nefarious. We can't even get fucking health care!!! So, as escapist fun, the genre is just that- a departure from all reality.
So they're just going to keep teasing us with memories? by SpyGuy	Oct 1st, 2009 08:21:57 AM
OLIVIA: "This reminds me of something. Something I've forgotten. If only I could remember what it was." WALTER: "Well, it just so happens I spilled a can of Dr. Pepper into my sensory deprivation tank, Agent Dunham. I think it should help nicely, although only for maybe a minute or two because we have a whole season of episodes to fill..."
Bell returning by Gislef_crow	Oct 1st, 2009 08:38:30 AM
TVGuide already confirmed he won't be appearing until 10/8, along with Theresa Russell as another former "patient" of Walter and Bell.
Aren't cameos supposed to be cool secrets? by CherryValance	Oct 1st, 2009 08:41:38 AM
I don't even watch Fringe so I don't really care. But I have to think for the people who do watch it'd be way cooler to not know. If it wasn't on the front page I wouldn't have said anything.
Bill Bell Baggins!! by therobcat	Oct 1st, 2009 09:53:00 AM
Have you guys heard Nimoy's awesome ballad of Bilbo Baggins? Find it. Hear it. Love it. Shatner gets all the cheesy singer cred, but Nimoy should never be forgotten.
I predict a huge drop in ratings. by Royston Lodge	Oct 1st, 2009 09:56:10 AM
I just don't think anybody cares about this show anymore. I don't, and I was addicted for the first half of the the first season.
Royston by PantherMatt	Oct 1st, 2009 10:18:45 AM
I have to disagree with ya, man. I stuck with Fringe last year, only because it was JJ. By the end on season one, it really started gathering steam, and this season, I have actually found myself eagerly anticipating new episodes. I can't imagine I'm alone. If you've given up on it, I suggest giving it another try. It continues to improve
Joe Buck by Aquatarkusman	Oct 1st, 2009 10:18:56 AM
"And who could forget Dear Ratboy?"
therobcat by repo_man	Oct 1st, 2009 10:42:52 AM
Yes. Although that's not the most terrifying thing he's done. His "If I Had A Hammer" is so emotionless in its execution it brings to mind Peter Sutcliffe. Bit of a shame actors from science fiction shows don't make albums any more to cash in on their screen success - Ben from Lost could probably rival Nimoy for unsettling renderings of previously jovial songs, and maybe if someone from Heroes, say, Sylar, put out an LP of semi spoken, maniacal psychedelic cover versions of popular songs it might help with the ratings.
JJ Abrams is by FaTassDino_Molester	Oct 1st, 2009 11:22:11 AM
The Irwin Allen of the 2000's, except without the talent, wit, charm, creativity, originality, and inventivness. And he seems to be infatuated with that fat fuck Porci Orci and the slimeball Creepy Kook Kurtzman.
Last weeks Ep was like classic X-Files one off horror by Stabby	Oct 1st, 2009 11:27:34 AM
Really enjoyed it. Bill Bell Baggins!!! Ha Ha!
Royston Lodge by shodan6672	Oct 1st, 2009 11:57:52 AM
No offense, but not everyone has the attention span of a Gnat with ADHD. Many people still care about this show.
wheres quinto by animas	Oct 1st, 2009 12:14:54 PM

Stabby, your one line review by YackBacker	Oct 1st, 2009 12:19:07 PM
Makes me interested in seeing that episode. FOX needs to hire you.
YackBacker - if you knew your history -- by Boborci	Oct 1st, 2009 01:21:50 PM

Abrams is by SithMenace	Oct 1st, 2009 01:28:27 PM
not only a great storyteller, above average director and extremely talented writer, but he is also one of the funniest, wittiest and congenial behind the scenes people you'll find in Hollywood. Oh and, sorry he broke Star Trek out of the stale 20 year old formula it was stuck in, but get over it already.
Hate Thursdays - too much to watch by Itchy	Oct 1st, 2009 01:50:08 PM
Can we maybe move Fringe to Mondays or something ? Especially now that I'm officially giving Flashforward a shot.
isn't the title of this article a GODDAMNED SPOILER? by SolidFuelStudios	Oct 1st, 2009 02:00:21 PM
come on. jeeeezus.
by motabus2	Oct 1st, 2009 02:06:40 PM
umm its not a spolier cause he is not in the show tonight!!!!! the preview for next week is talking about the meeting we saw last season final. anyone who thinks he is on tonights is wrong!!!!!!!!!!!
LOL at Herc's reference to the mole-scorpion... by NoPIX	Oct 1st, 2009 02:07:06 PM
getting conveniently crushed by a squad car. This is what I was talking about last week. I'm not a hater, Fringe is cool....but the X-Files treated their monster death's with more respect.
Best show on tv... by jaysin420	Oct 1st, 2009 02:52:14 PM
till Lost gets back.
SithMenace by obidawsn	Oct 1st, 2009 02:58:28 PM
And not only did he revive Star Trek, he made a great Mission Impossible movie. Too bad the lack of interest in an M:I movie and Tom Cruise's craziness killed it at the box office. But hopefully these talks about another M:I with J.J. works out and does better. Or maybe his idea for another M:I is being put into this new show that all the networks are fighting over.
Seriously Herc...Supernatural talkback? by spooky2k	Oct 1st, 2009 03:41:54 PM
You do realise that having these articles on the site actually makes people want to check shows out. For that reason, how can you promote Fringe but not Supernatural? IN it's earlier seasons it was a bit silly at times but it's one of the best under-rated shows on television right now. Even if you just post a picture and title it 'Supernatural talkback', that'd be fine. C'mon...it's time you got beyond your personal tastes and saw that this site caters to an audience who have different tastes to you.
I think tonights Fringe episode... by Naughty	Oct 1st, 2009 04:54:03 PM
will be more like an episode from the first season...but with shapeshifters!
The Observer = football fan? by The_Ed_Carden	Oct 1st, 2009 06:19:07 PM
He does seem to go to a lot of games. He gets really good seats too.
obidawsn by SithMenace	Oct 1st, 2009 06:26:27 PM
I agree, in fact I think MI:3 was the best one. I can't wait to see ST 2 since Lindelof helped with the script.

Fringe Is One Of The Best Things On TV by Real Deal	Oct 1st, 2009 07:25:26 PM
It's different from anything else out there. I love the cast! Thjey really got lucky with the combination of actors ( and yes even Torv whom I don't find her acting bad as some have said ). It's inventive, different, and entertaining. It's a real brite spot in the TV wasteland. When things get boring or ordinary they're " at the door and you should thank god for that! "
Ummmmmmmmmmm... NO Spock Cameo?! *cry by blhotz	Oct 1st, 2009 09:00:26 PM

Another great episode... by jaysin420	Oct 1st, 2009 09:36:22 PM
I guess Herc meant that short headache flash of Spock or he got mixed up cause they showed him in scenes from next episode. Great character development tonight, Jackson and Torvo keeps getting better, and we even found out that Astrid doesn't live in the lab. Cool stuff.
I wish it was just The Bishops. Drop Torv. by JuanSanchez	Oct 1st, 2009 09:56:08 PM

That Observer at the NFL game........pretty lame by Onin Solstice	Oct 1st, 2009 11:02:59 PM

Dialogue is too quiet, sound effects too loud... by JuanSanchez	Oct 1st, 2009 11:13:13 PM
Commercials are crazy loud after you turn up the TV for the show.
I like Fringe, but that episode?!?!? by The Bicycle Sharer	Oct 1st, 2009 11:17:55 PM
Sucked. Mediocre as all hell. "Hi, we're the FBI and we're in a meeting room across town looking for some woman." "Hey, Special-Agent-in-Charge, we've magically determined that woman is in a cab without talking to her husband and she's on her way to the station!" SHAZAM! "We, the FBI, have used over super magic transportation powers to beat the woman to the station AND set-up surveillance!" WHU-POW! Fu cking puh-leaze!
If that's what's considered "great" storytelling now by The Bicycle Sharer	Oct 1st, 2009 11:19:28 PM
Someone should fucking exterminate our entire race and start all over.
Why would the Observer need photos of Walter? by CatVutt	Oct 1st, 2009 11:23:47 PM

Episodes like this show that Fringe isn't the brilliant show... by JuanSanchez	Oct 1st, 2009 11:56:27 PM
so many make it out to be. It has flashes of greatness, but is as imperfect as most shows.
Cameos are cool secrets. Like McShane on FlashForward. by dailysportspages	Oct 2nd, 2009 04:45:35 AM
Looks like we know who the big bad is going to be. Or maybe he's the big good?
And any Ian McShane is good Ian McShane by dailysportspages	Oct 2nd, 2009 04:48:44 AM
Cocksuckers!
Crazy Olivia by Aeronaut	Oct 2nd, 2009 05:17:33 AM
Even before her little trip Olivia liked pulling her gun on folks - I reckon she must do it when people do not get out of her way in the street. Maybe it does not register for US viewers, but for the rest of us it just looks absurd. At least Astrid got a little more to do this week.
Bored by this show by SwampDonkey	Oct 2nd, 2009 07:19:24 AM
I won't be watching any more Episodes until the Season has ended. I'm not a fan of delayed orgasm and teasing.
Don't You Just Love by Real Deal	Oct 2nd, 2009 08:26:27 AM
People who turn to the last page of a book when they start reading? I like the journey as well as the destination. Oh! And Fringe is a great show.
Re : A G by Real Deal	Oct 2nd, 2009 08:27:13 AM
Nah! Just another troll.
Can't believe Astrid was given a scene that wasn't fetching coff by SpyGuy	Oct 2nd, 2009 08:54:39 AM
I mean, an actual scene that gave her more than two lines of dialogue and gave you a glimpse into her persona. Sure enough, though, in her next scene, she's looking shit up on the internets for expository plot points.
Fringe Enthusiast, But That Was Really Weak by Crow3711	Oct 2nd, 2009 09:11:49 AM
I mean, seriously. Possibly the worst episode of Fringe yet. Complete filler. And what the fuck is with the scene where they travel to Iraq to ask some shady guy about the secret whereabouts of some missing doctor, and the guy just happens to be fucking washing dishes in the exact building they went to visit? I thought the shady scarred guy would go make calls or ask someone where the guy is, ther's no reason except complete convenience that he would actually be right there in the backroom. That was awful. I love Fringe, I'm certainly not quitting, but that episode sucked.
The Pulling the gun on Corrigan thing. by CatVutt	Oct 2nd, 2009 12:11:36 PM
I didn't have a problem with that. She almost shot Peter in the Season Premiere. It was in character for how fucked up she is right now.
The many things wrong with this episode. by NoPIX	Oct 2nd, 2009 02:05:21 PM
Walking into a bar with curtains and hookah's like in Team America World Police -- this is supposed to be Baghdad?? Olivia limping around is funny. The whole episode was just about the ending - the Observers are bad guys planning...something!? The guy in the bowling alley is really really annoying. Oh yeah....and Peter knows lots of people and that makes him cool!

Agrrh! by Darkocity	Oct 2nd, 2009 03:35:03 PM
Last episode had some great moments, that reminded me a bit of 'Drag Me To Hell', and liked how they played the 'mythology' or season-arc plot straight through a 'monster-of-the-week- episode. I hope they keep it up while expanding and integrating this mythology or 'game play' behind the paralel universes, Dynamic, Bell, Peter, Walter & The Bald Fella etc more into each episode or season progressively
X-FILES DISEASE by Weasel	Oct 2nd, 2009 04:29:22 PM
My greatest fear for Fringe is that it will come down with a terminal case of "X-Files Disease" (AKA Chris Carter Syndrome). Much like its predecessor, Fringe has an intriguing premise salted with some equally intriguing tid-bits that give viewers the apparent idea that the show actually knows where it's going with its underlying mythos. X-Files was much the same but, ultimately, as the show neared its end, loyal viewers were forced to endure the horrific realization that there was no underlying unity to the X-Files mythos and that the bits and pieces that ran teasingly through the various episodes would never be able to come together as a satisfying whole as the series ran to its conclusion. I'm hoping that Fringe can learn from the mistakes of its 20th century antecedent and give us a series that, no matter how long it runs, will give us some solid narrative fulfillment over the long term. Also, the too-pallid Ms. Torv desperately needs to be replaced. Seriously. This actress and her character are far too colorless to carry the show for much longer.
Where was Charlie? by Naughty	Oct 2nd, 2009 06:36:26 PM
Take Kirk Acevedo out of an episode, and the show looks like shit.
Re :Weasel by Real Deal	Oct 3rd, 2009 12:36:07 PM
I think Fringe has a lolt more to it than The Xfiles. However yes in the filler episodes ( like this one which isn't bad every show has filler episodes ) it does tend to seem to seem like monster of the week.

Balance in Fringe by browncoat_skyfan	Oct 4th, 2009 12:11:05 PM
This latest was a good combination of horror event, character development (asterisk), and mythology-supporting subplot. Even the "baddie" got a little less so when his actions became clearer. I was less fond of the "flashing orange arrow" exposition of the two-worlds experiences that Olivia had; but the bowling-alley sensei more than makes up for it.
