Watched this last night, but dozed off a time or two, so watched it on the internet again today, made more sense. I guess I expected it to be a lot weirder than it was, although I liked the Walter Bishop character. Needed to be a bit more like that Lone Gunmen show, IMHO. Presumably each week they'll use some sort of "fringe science" to stop some bad stuff from happening.
Umm, give the first episode a B. Needs more cow.

Re: Fringe
I thought the pilot was needlessly complicated, but had its moments, and the ending hooked me, so I'll probably at least watch the next one. I think the show in general needs to establish and follow a premise (dare I say, a formula) if it's going to be successful.
At least, successful in my eyes. It's a JJ Abrams project, so it'll on until he's ready to end it.

Re: Fringe
Wow, what a finale. I'm glad this got renewed. Did anyone else keep up with this show during its first season?
