I am hooked on the series, and am racking my brain figuring out what happens next. I think that Walter is Michael Bell, in some twisted way. What do you guys think?

I love fringe, I've never even thought of that possibility, but with how twisted the show is I could see it coming. How about Heroes, it's up there for my favorite show with Fringe.

I am not a big watcher of Heroes, I have the episodes recorded but havent started watching. I just watch the last three episodes of fringe yesterday and it got me thinking.

I haven't had the time to watch Heros this season. I've seen all the other seasons though. I'm gonna have to rent this season when it comes out on DVD.

BTW...I've heard some great things about Fringe, but again, just haven't had the time to devote to a new show. We only watch two show religiously in my house: Monday Night Football and Grey's Anatomy....
 
I watched Fringe for the first five episodes or so and I enjoyed them. I missed a few and haven't gone back to catch up. It is a good show though.
 
I found this really cool website today www.hulu.com it lets you watch some movies and most current full length TV shows. It has minimal commercials, and pretty good quality pics. Assuming you have fast enough internet to keep it from hiccuping while downloading.

Hulu is owned by NBC i think

I never thought to ask who owned it. A quick google search shows that Fox and NBC own approximately 12% of the company (as far as you can trust what you read on the web).
 
They actually own 90%. It was a big deal when it was launching. In my opinion it is the ONLY successful online video site. Their business model just works. I watched HULU when I was in the airport lounge and it was great. All that is left is the ability to integrate it with media centers.
 
I'm not a TV watcher but this series has me totally enthralled. It has everything: nuanced acting, fascinating characters, tantalizing technology, and enough twists turns and speculative ideas to draw you in and keep you engaged. This and Heroes are the only two shows I watch and I feel Fringe is superior in almost every way although Heroes is excellent too.

Anna Torv has been so refreshing to see. Her expressions and reactions really seem to come from a genuine place deep inside and she seems so very real. And Walter...what can I say? I have a fondness of mad scientist characters and he's a damned good one. The son seems to have a mysterious past and I'm intrigued to learn more.

I've never been a fanboy for any TV show aside from STNG, but this, this is a good one. Potentially a great one. I just hope it makes it to next season, and the seasons after that.

I am really enjoying Fringe. Been a watcher since day 1.

But their story lines are getting thin.

Hopefully the new season ties everything in! I hope JJ abrams doesnt "jump the shark"

-Weird thing happens.
-Olivia Dunha investigates, she finds out more and as usual Massive Dynamics is involved.
-Olivia goes to her boss who never tells her anything.. but all of a sudden he tells her" Well you know.. this is what we have..it happened x years ago"
-Walter in his past has been working on a project that has to do with the new phenomenom they seem to be investigating.
-Astrid and Walters Son are just story line fillers.
 
Big Fringe fan... Not sure what to expect next from the guys responsible for Lost. Speaking of, in the last couple episodes, did anyone notice the flight company on the airline ticket on Fringe?
 
I've gotten into this show as well. Besides Hulu, I think every episode is on fox's website. If you're really into it check out this site. I think every episode is there to watch, as well as lots of little observations and easter eggs.

Please tell me it isn't Oceanic?
 
This show has caught my attention, I have only missed one show, it's a season pass on Tivo so I can watch whenever, Heroes however took a wierd turn this season, not as good as last season imho. :blush:
 
I feel like Heroes is best watched 2-3 episodes at a time. It seems to hold my attention better that way. I wasn't as into it early in the season, but the latest episodes have been very good.

I rather enjoy it...it feels like X files....each episode could stand alone, but they all tie together....I just hope it goes somewhere and not in circles that never end....

Right on. Heroes feels like a comic book. Fringe feels more like a novelette.
