Fringe, anyone?
by dawnsfire on Tue Sep 15, 2009 12:46 pm
Someone said we should have a Fringe thread, so I decided to start one.
I said before that I just got a chance to see the season finale last week, though I missed about half of the entire season. (Maybe I'll get the DVDs--haven't decided yet) Now that it's paired up with Bones, I should have an easier time!
I also noted that I was more shocked about the gravestone than the city skyline, and I think I realized why. First, I didn't see the original airing and therefore heard a few things here and there, plus saw at least 1 promo before this past Thurs. Second, I've never been all that familiar with the NYC skyline, so it wasn't this drastic, OMG moment, sorry to say (make it Chicago and we'll talk).
The whole trying to explain alternate universes or realities to Charlie, though--obviously the guy never read a comic or sci-fi in his life. Standard stuff, really. I've always enjoyed alternate histories, which is really the same thing, just not so--hard-edged, I guess you could say. One little change and a new world is split off, and the further back the split happens, the more radically different that world is from the one we call home.

I love Fringe!
I wasn't shocked at all when I saw the gravestone although I hadn't seen any spoilers before I watched it.
But I think there were enough hints and stuff like the coin that it was already more or less clear, that Peter wasn't the this-world-Peter.....
I can't wait for the new season to start.

As you can see, by my signature, I love Fringe! I was not all that surprised by the gravestone, I was a little surprised, but more like, O.K., so Peter is the other world Peter... what now???

UGH TELL ME ABOUT IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am not so sure I like that though; I guess I will be OK with it if it's not one of those long arcs; if it goes away in 2 or 3 episodes I won't mind it as much.

Noooo, Charlie! *cries*
I'd been waiting for Charlie to turn evil since the first episode I watched (thank you JJ for scaring me for life with Alias) so I wasn't surprised, but man, what a bummer.
[On the other hand, how happy am I that Kirk Acevedo is staying 'round? So, so happy]
I have to say, I really, really loved this premiere. I didn't even mind Exposition!Peter when he was introducing...the show to the new Charlie (does she have a name?). Also didn't mind the directing. Guess Akiva Goldsman is not horrible all the time, after all.most of the time though..
Oh, and moment of the episode: forget about Charlie, or Liv quoting his mother to Peter...Nina and Broyles, y'all!!! What an excellent moment. Even my brother (who watched with moi on the phone) was like, 'whoa, JJ!'

Half-way through and I'm already in love. Gosh, this might in fact be the new X-files.

Closing time - time for you to go back to the places you will be from.
Closing time - this room won't be open 'til your brothers or your sisters come.
So gather up your jackets, and move it to the exits - I hope you have found a friend.
Closing time - every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end.

Yeah, it's official. JJ Abs' purchase on my soul is large and permanent. *sigh* I love this show.
But you know, I'm kinda digging evil Charlie. Might just be my love for Kirk Acevedo shinning through but I'm all for it.

John Savage. If you watched Dark Angel that would be Lydecker.

That's it! I knew it wasn't a sympathetic character.
Only watched 1 season of Dark Angel, but that was enough. Hair threw me, I guess. Thanks.

You know, that's the problem with these types of shows...there's nothing cut and dried, no black hats vs white hats. The good guys have dangerous secrets and the bad guys have good motives. 
This Colonel--he only had 4 people that we know of, right? And how many couriers did he think there were? Well, you know what they say about military intelligence sometimes!
The Observer--I'm a little in the dark about him, since like I say, I missed some of S1. He reminds me in a way of the character of the Watcher in Marvel Comics. Not supposed to interfere, only observe--but sometimes breaks the rules and helps (and he's bald, too).
Wheee! And Olivia walked across the room!

I think we're all in the dark Dawn, but I gotta say: Evil!Observer? Oh, I like it.
I haven't watched the whole thing yet -the joys of being on the road. There's one thing I have to say though: The music, OMG. Who is the music director for this show? Because between the creepy instrumentals and the radio classics, I'm convinced he/she is a genius.

bones206, I just need to tell you that your X-Files signature is absolutely FANTASTIC!!! I just thought I'd share 
Oh, and I am a newbie to Fringe and I am really liking it. I need to go buy Season 1 or at least rent it. I love Walter, he's my favorite.
