Sep. 8th, 2011 08:16 pmThe only problem with Fringe? Is that it can be incredibly gross and hit at things that, well were why I did not watch the X-Files. Although, they do a good job with the gross - unlike Ryan Murphy, they don't feel compelled to show me everything...just suggest it really strongly. In short, they trust the audience to fill in the blanks (which is also like the X-Files). But unlike the X-Files it is also incredibly funny in places. Horror must be funny, otherwise there is no point!

I'm on episode six - we're still in episodic nasty terrorist practice of the week territory. Which is annoying. This episode is The Cure. Has a nice twist, I'll give it that. But still too much like X-Files meets 24 or Alias. That said? More entertaining than anything else at the moment. Also quite funny in places. Plus the characters are slowly growing on me. It really is a bit like watching the Angel, Connor, and Faith show...except Angel is played by John Nobel and is a bit crazy and a genius, Connor is a con-man and in his 30s and a lot better looking than well Connor was, and Faith is blond and an FBI agent. Although I swear Lance Reddick sounds like Lt. Daniels from The Wire but in a really really bad mood all of the time. He might even break a blood vessel. I miss Blair Brown.
This episode does have back story...though. So you have to watch it. Or rather I do. ( Olivia back story )
Remember what I said about back story? Guess what...Blair Brown pops up and we get back-story on Peter, plus future story. ( Peter backstory ) The B plot line is sort of cool.
