Fringe

[Alien Redrum]

I've been tearing into season 1 (finally!) and I'm really digging it. It's obviously heavily influenced by X-Files (and even has a Millennium-esque intro) and that's not a bad thing at all.

I really dug the episode where it's the agent's birthday and it delves into why she doesn't like that special, special day. I hope they come back to that story.

Yeah I started watching this a few months ago, and put it aside (when the DestinatioN Truth season came out). I recently got back to it and am on like disc 6.

I wasn't crazy about the show at first as the formula was kind of annoying. Something weird happens, they don't know what, Walter remembers something he was working, creates a crazy device that works, solves the mystery. Every week. But once the back story stuff started coming in more and the overall arc was showing itself more I got into it a lot.

Definitely looking forward to S2, which comes out in about a month.

I just got to that German guy (the one in the prison). He's pretty damn awesome. I hope he sticks around.

Definitely agree with you on the mystery-of-the-week part. I cut it some slack since a lot of shows are like that at first, then find there own (Buffy, X-Files, Supernatural, etc.).

Yeah, you're probably like 1/3 through the season. More interesting things happen and the show definitely starts to find it's own.
