Re: JJ Abrams new series "Fringe"

I'm not sure what to think so far. I was not an X-files fan and this show did remind me of that (but in a less annoying way)

I liked the Dr. Bishop & son characters and thought the story was told well. I had (probably too) high expectations for the show, but that's my problem, not theirs.

I'll give it another week to see if it hooks me a little more.

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!

Dab, Lance Reddick is Abaddon's real life name. Lance Reddick isn't the "mad scientist."

I called the ending too on a clue, CJ, but forgot about it by the end of the episode when it happened. LoL.

Correct, it is John Noble. I had Lance Reddick on the brain! Forgive my error!

You are forgiven! .... Just don't let it happen again, lol.

The interaction between Walter and Son was written, and acted, very well. One of the highpoints in the show if you don't count Bessie. Miss Moo. Wink

Only one character I did not like. AbbaDabbaDooMan. He seemed to overplay the role. Just a bit.

I liked the casting of John Noble as Dr. Walter Bishop. He was also in The Lord Of the Rings movies in the role of Denethor. He is a good actor, but played a despicable character in LOR.

JWLost · by JWLost on Wed Sep 10, 2008 4:03 am

I liked him in both, KSJ! He is a good actor. I enjoyed his line when he was in the back of the car. LOL... "just a squirt" hahahaha, I almost had just a squirt at that line.

JW, How is 5.10 coming along ? Have you finished it yet ? bounce

JWLost · by JWLost on Wed Sep 10, 2008 4:34 am

I didn't touch it today. I was pretty busy. I told you, I was on a week and a half hiatus. Haha, a few more days. It could, maybe, be out by tomorrow night, but more likely Friday. Thursday night I will be out of town, as I have a hot date.

katesawjack · by katesawjack on Wed Sep 10, 2008 4:56 am

JW, Please don't tell me, you went out and found yourself a Sheila, and you will be moving to Australia soon ? lol!

Have fun on your date!! Very Happy

JWLost · by JWLost on Wed Sep 10, 2008 5:29 am

A Sheila?! I don't get it! Nope, not an Australian, but I did once date an Australian. I try to fill my life with everything Australia if you haven't noticed. I am an Aussie with an American accent.

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

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

Oohhhhh the end was a shockfest!

O maaaaaaaan! I now sooo wanna cccc this!!! Tonight after work sure! (I'm supposed to be working on my project at the moment by the way!) Wink

ksj, nice use of sheila there! sounded very casual, i take it that's not your first time. Smile

jw, it's an australian slang word for a lady.

and to be honest, i'm just happy that they cast kirk acevado from oz in fringe... about time he came back! he makes me happy, in a squirmy way. I love you

Isn't it funny but being used to the word sheila, I had never thought of it as being slang! Fair dinkum!

I reckon that today's weather was bonza, on my way home from Clayton I hopped off at Richmond and walked home via Rod Laver and Fed Square. It was just nice to soak up some rays.
