SamiLost wrote:Wow this looks good. Let's hope it lives up to expectations! I dont have sky1 but I'm thinking of getting it. Until then, I will watch it the Lost way!

In today's issue of USA Today re:Fringe " ........ now adds the best new show of the fall, Fringe" ...... Fringe premier lacks the beauty and resonance of Lost, but it provides a solid framework for a series, which is what a pilot is supposed to do.......it should be fun to ride along.......This Fall, that could be the best offer you get"

Tracker, I know I will be checking it out tonight.
Here is a link that has a little background about this new show, on Scientific American.
It is enough for me to know it was created by J.J. Abrams.

Who's watching it right now?! I AM!!! JJ really has a thing for planes doesn't he?!

"my friend... it is just an electrical storm..." ELECTRIC as in ELECTROMAGNETISM....


Wow, that opening scene was rather graphic with that guys jaw falling off.

ABADDDDDONNNNN!!!!!

Oh, wow, he is bad-ass in this one! Not as bad-ass as Lost though...

Are you....um....ok there?

Sorry, Jax, I am excited about this show. I forgot you guys don't have it. I will post no more spoilers. But, it does open on a plane.

Got it Jax. I'll go back and edit. No more said. I am on pins and needles here.

LoL, CJ... I can only image the things you said before you edited. The comms for this are only 60 seconds, which is pretty awesome. So far, I'm kinda loving this show.... a little confusing, but... not bad.

So far pretty good.

Not horrible... the writing of dialogue is about as brilliant as it gets. I would say that the dialogue of this episode so far rivals that of Lost and is almost better.

As for clues and hints, this show is packed full of them. So far, I have counted a total of 5 possible clues to something in the future. Random things I have noticed that don't belong.

The plot though, so far, from what I've seen... is very similar to Lost. I would write a list, but... I don't want to spoil anything. The situations are similiar.

I love the direction/cinematography of this show. It is really quite amazing.

The main character girl, I think, could kick Kate's ass any day.

Josh Jackson's character somewhat annoys me.

Lance Reddick is so awesome.

Oohhhhh the end was a shockfest!

The previews look pretty kick-ass.

Overall, it is pretty far out there, but I expected that. Fringe really pretty much explains the concept of the show when they explained what Fringe is. I'm not 100% sold on it, but I'm close. I think, it seems, that this show is a very good mix of Alias/Lost/X-Files.

What did other people think, I'm curious!

I thought most of it was awesome..

I had written but must have lost the post with another post going on.

I was able to call the ending due to one clue! LOL!

Nicknamed it Fringles.

She is very good in this part.

So far, it looks like JJ has hit another one out of the park! I like the concept of the show, and I like all of the characters, in particular Joshua Jackson.

I would agree with Cosmic Jewels, Anna Torv is wonderful in this series.

Lance Reddick sounds so much like Boris Karloff! Totally suits his character as the 'mad scientist'!

I will at this point, definitely continue to watch!
