Fringe

I'm sort of surprised there is no thread for this show yet, I went back through and didn't see one. If there was and I missed it I apologize and ask that the mod just go ahead and merge my thread into theirs.

I watched the first episode of this a month or so ago on Fox Tuesday nights after House (9:00 EST). I had an opportunity to sit down and watch last Tuesday's episode marking the second one I've seen and I'm really happy with the show. The premise seems to be an FBI agency who specializes in "abnormal" cases.

When I say abnormal I mean borderline paranormal, its mostly centered around futuristic technology that seems to be supernatural.

Has anyone else seen this show? Am I giving a good synopsis? What are your opinions on it? I'm still a little torn myself, I'm going to start watching it every Tuesday to get a feel for it.

Actually yes, I love this show. I haven't missed an episode yet. When they were interviewing the actress who plays Agent Dunham, she said that the thing she likes so much about it (and the thing that distinguishes from shows such as the X-Files) is that it all seems probable to the human mind.

If you've only seen those two episodes, you should really get online and watch the others because you're missing out. The first one was great, but this last episode wasn't one of the best. For example:

[spoiler] Last weeks episode was where an agent of the FBI had some kind of organic creature latched around his heart. They were trying their best to save him. They ended up trying to receive information from a dead man via electrical impulses just in time for Olivia to save the agent. It was pretty exciting. But the more exciting part was when you find out that the agent was actually a double agent and inflicted the creature upon his self so his spy/wife could get the info... Something about "Little Hill." Anyway, that same agent, was the one who shot the red-haired woman in this last episode. So, anyway....[/spoiler]

Yes, it's all a very good show. I hope it succeeds because it's one of my regulars.
