Title: Fringe is officially a better show than Lost - and it has Star Trek crap in it
Post by: The Fake Shemp on May 12, 2009, 11:04:18 PM: Fringe started off shaky and seemed to find its legs (I credit bringing Brad Anderson on a full-time basis), and closed with a pretty great finale.

Plus, it had Spock.

Superior Abrams show.

Post by: Cheebs on May 12, 2009, 11:09:18 PM: Agreed. Fringe is the better Abrams show. I nearly gave up on it after the first few episodes but it really grew on me. Love the X-Fileish vibe.

Post by: demi on May 12, 2009, 11:09:34 PM: Thats not very fair. How many seasons has Fringe had. And Fringe doesnt have Hurley so go eat a sundae Jonah
Title: Re: Fringe is officially a better show than Lost - and it has Star Trek crap in it
Post by: The Fake Shemp on May 12, 2009, 11:13:05 PM: Fringe has Walter Bishop, who is funnier than Hurley and crazier too!

The fact that Fringe has not dragged on for too many seasons is not a credit to Lost, demi.

Post by: The Fake Shemp on May 12, 2009, 11:16:17 PM: I'd bang Olivia. She's got this super hot conservative demeanor. You know she's crazy in bed!

The monsters-of-the-week females seem to be wicked hot too.

I'd actually think you'd like Fringe since you loved X-Files so much. The monster of the week stuff in Fringe is total X-Files.
Title: Re: Fringe is officially a better show than Lost - and it has Star Trek crap in it
Post by: The Fake Shemp on May 12, 2009, 11:19:59 PM: Yeah, it's light on mythology, but when they do an arc - it doesn't overstay its welcome. I felt like they haven't cockteased answers all season long, and we even got some new reveals tonight.

It's definitely a show that has grown as the season has gone on, and like I said, once they added Brad Anderson as a producer and regular director (probably the best unknown director in Hollywood) - they've been on an upswing.

Title: Re: Fringe is officially a better show than Lost - and it has Star Trek crap in it
Post by: The Fake Shemp on May 13, 2009, 02:38:26 PM: Yeah, I almost dumped it because I was afraid that they'd give us three seasons of alluding that Massive Dynamic was behind it all - but never confront Nina and William Bell.

Well, that changed. They learned how to progress the show's overall storyline and keep the monster-of-the-week intact.

American Idol is the best it's ever been this season

Gay Messiah Adam "Flamboylover" Lambert vs. Christian Satan Danny "My Wife is Dead" Gokey

Sure, it takes her about six, seven episodes to actually start to "act". But who cares when you catch that milky white skin of hers... excuse me :nsfw

I'd recommend until a month or so after it's released on DVD, and even then marked with [spoiler/] tags :P

Most people watch these shows in season format nowadays! Argh! Fuck!

Fuck your stupid show! It sounded interesting and I was thinking about watching it when it came out on DVD but WHAT'S THE FUCKING POINT NOW

This isn't a thread for discussing the show! It's a thread ENCOURAGING PEOPLE TO WATCH THE SHOW WHO AREN'T ALREADY!

That's like the WORST POSSIBLE PLACE to post spoilers! You guys are morons!
