Fringe season 2!!! watch this show!




I think fringe is an excellent show, but for some reason i never hear much about it. The show plays out similar to how law and order, csi, etc.

The basic plot however has some truthfully trippy science fiction mixed into the equation. Basically you have a division of the FBI who investigates "different" types of crime. You have plot lines with everything from LSD induced memory reading in isolation chambers, to parallel universes and even shape shifters! The show however has taken 1 and a 1/2 seasons to really show which direction it is headed.(Not really a bad thing to me.)

The acting i find is top notch. One of the main characters Walter(played by John Noble), is an Off the wall Scientist who is fresh out of a 10 year stint in a mental institution. He truly is a riot to watch, as he references many drugs, and is always on quite the cocktail. We will just call him an LSD enthusiast to say the least.

Another great character is Olivia Dunham(played by Anna Torv). A lot of fans question her acting but i think she is perfect for her role. She is a great character because you will get to see a lot of off the wall shit going down. I'm talking like traveling to parallel universes and the consequences which that can have, as well as many other cool things but i don't want to ruin the show.

I would highly recommend this show to anyone. IMO it has the perfect mix of action, mystery, sci fi and comedy(what a mix!).

Re: Fringe season 2!!! watch this show!

I LOVE Fringe. Def one of my favorite shows currently on tv. Unfortunately its ratings have plummeted. Hopefully they don't get cancelled.

Re: Fringe season 2!!! watch this show!

I really enjoyed the first season but season 2 has been a let down so far. The plots and dialogue have taken a turn for the worst.

All of the characters seem to be a little more "over the top" than last season.

Re: Fringe season 2!!! watch this show!

I watched most of the first season, haven't watched it since they put a two or three months break in the middle of the season, but I thought it was good. It didn't have a bunch of stupid, over the top tech stuff (or scripts about tech written by people who have no idea about tech, that shit is annoying, L&O, NCIS, CSI all do it and it's always terrible) and the topics and plot were pretty interesting.

Re: Fringe season 2!!! watch this show!

After seeing this thread last week, i decided to check it out. found most episodes online and ive watched the first 17 so far. its very interesting but they keep digressing from the main storyline. its still fun as hell to watch stoned or sober though!
i was just watching episode 18 and the site killed my stream saying i already watched 60 something minutes of video today and i have to wait :s the episode was just about to end!!!! i hate this

Re: Fringe season 2!!! watch this show!

My dad watches this show and tried to get me to watch it last time I saw him. In my opinion its a fuckin horrible show but to each man his own.

Re: Fringe season 2!!! watch this show!

Fringe comes off to me as a cross between CSI and x-files, also the characters and stories don't seem interesting to me

i could see how this show could be cool for some people but id much rather watch an x-files episode over this even though i have seen them all
