Fringe

[Red Phoenix]

Not happy at all with the way that last episode turned out!

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

It's okay, there'll be a wormhole opened up to bring her back or something.

[Iantn]

From start to finish that episode was fuckin' boss.

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

I've really enjoyed the entire programme. There is always something going on, and its well paced. Good shit.

[Red Phoenix]

Can't believe what happened at the end again! But yeah, the pacing is brilliant, it's probably because there's only half the amount of episodes this time so there's very little room for filler. It's been amazing so far.

[Red Phoenix]

This is getting intense way earlier than I thought it would've done. The only thing I'm waiting to see now is how Olivia comes into all this. First we got used to the future and Etta was leading, now Peter's doing his stuff, but it's bugging me wondering what's going on with Olivia and her cortexiphan abilities. Surely we'll see eventually, but that might be saved for the last few episodes if so.

[Red Phoenix]

Spoiler alert! If you've not watched the latest episode yet you should probably avoid this.

 

Could hardly believe it when this happened.

Would've put that in tags to hide it but wasn't sure if the video would embed inside them.

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

Yeah, that duberrywatsit he put in his head is going to cause him some grief. But he'll save Etta by time travelling.

Pure Matrix by the the bish.

[Iantn]

Loving every minute of this season. They have, given the time constraints, restricted the show to the pure storyline and it works so well. Although given the situation they are in I highly doubt they could do much more than this right now.

 

John Noble, for me at least, continues to brilliantly excel over the rest. And that ain't a dig at anyone else in it.

 

The only frustration right now is the slightly fucked up way the final seven will air. We have one this week before a fortnight off, three in December before another fortnight off during Christmas and New Year before returning for the final three including a double episode series finale. Madness!

I got this from lovefilm and expected to like it. I watched two episodes and thought it was spectacularly shit. The girlfriend concurred.

 

Badly acted bollocks was about the gist of it. I can't be doing with the shit acting. Is someone going to assure me I got it wrong?

[Iantn]

Is someone going to assure me I got it wrong?

 

Yep. First season was alright, at best, although it picked up towards the end of the season. It has kicked on brilliantly from there though.

 

Edit: In addition, I did not like the pilot at all. Thought it was pretty shite mostly.

[gumps]

Yeah, stick with it. The Early "monster of the week" stories were like a poor mans X-Files but when the story arc begins to develop it really improves.

 

I take it you guys are watching US pace? I'm only watching it on Sky and the way the yanks do breaks in the run of episodes I think the Sky ones will eventually catch up as they can show them in one run.

Have got to agree with this. At first I was hoping it could match the X-Files from the off, but it took a while longer, because the main story is by far the strongest point. It was only at the end of the first season when the main story kicked in more that I started to really like it. (and from then onwards the main story is there a lot more than the X-Files was at the start. X-Files is still my all time favourite.) I just wanted to stick with it because I thought J. J. Abrams was a smart guy who could write some decent sci-fi, and am glad I carried on watching.

[Red Phoenix]

Not liking the way this is turning out now. Still think there'll be some great twists during the last episodes though so hopefully it doesn't end up too bad.

Why not?

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

Been quite good, I think. I'd like to see more of Etta. Much more.

[Red Phoenix]

Why not?

 

Just thought Peter wouldn't end up in such an insane situation, and it leaves me wondering how much crazier things will get seeing as we're only just past halfway! If it's good crazy, awesome, but so many of the things I've watched have jumped the shark at or near the end, and I really don't want that to happen with Fringe.

 

We've still had next to nothing happening with Olivia too, it's confusing me but maybe that'll be saved for the last third or something. If she goes right through to the end without even having her abilities back that's going to kind of suck in a big way for me. I don't think that'll happen though, so just trying to be as patient as possible.

What episode number have you watched up to Red Phoenix?

[Kevin D]

Last two episodes have really ignited the season.

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

I think it has been a good season right the way through.

[Kevin D]

It's not been poor or anything, I just thought it was lacking a dramatic edge up until Peter's development, which I really like. I have also found the whole process of watching old tapes of Walter a bit hokey and long-winded. The sort of thing you'd expect in a camp 80s movie.

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

Yeah, that bit isn't brilliantly done. It seems a bit like an afterthought.

He pulled out some of his hair which means he's going full-on observer just did my head in a bit, was hoping he wouldn't end up like that. Maybe Walter can find a way to turn him back or something though after he's done with whatever he's about to try and do.
