I've actually gone onto forums to talk about it, which I've never done before! It's lovely to see so many of us are enjoying Fringe too :-) thanks!Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09095246748581382752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6145452263098688113.post-75320585869852770152009-10-28T11:10:12.703-04:002009-10-28T11:10:12.703-04:00Oh I adore this post.

Or get the dvd of the first season? oh, that would be so great if you could, or get it already. :-D I had no idea I could sway anyone! lol it's good tv, and if you like it too, I'll be so thrilled. Another thing we'll share! There was a character on one of the episodes named Susan too....but you don't want to know what happened to her....<br /><br />Lesley: My husband wants to like it too, so I get to watch it all over again with him! He's never seen me like this about a tv show. I think it's so cool that so many of us book-lovers are watching Fringe! I think Walter is a great character, and the actor has had me in tears a few times with some of his scenes. It's great that you love it too!<br /><br />Daphne: that's a phrase I haven't heard in a long time, X-Files viewing parties! wow, that brings back time......I never went to one, I didn't know of any here in Ottawa, but I sure heard about them. My son grew up afraid of the theme song - he knew he wasn't allowed to watch the show - and I find it funny that a few years back he bought me a couple of seasons of X-Files and now he watches it! So, my dear blog-friend, if you like X-files, give Fringe a try. I think you might like it! <br /><br />Didn't the alien story line bother you just a teensy bit on X-Files? I have to admit I wanted to believe in alien space craft/ufos after watching some X-File episodes, but there was alot of dark government conspiracy stuff that now i work in the government, I know isn't so far-fetched! I might have to watch some X-Files soon too! lolSusanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09095246748581382752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6145452263098688113.post-40135102706915688282009-10-17T15:32:37.420-04:002009-10-17T15:32:37.420-04:00Hi everyone: sorry I'm late with my replies! ...Hi everyone: sorry I'm late with my replies! I'm really thrilled everyone is either watching it already, or now keen too (lol, my plan worked! more viewers means it stays on longer!)<br /><br />Kailana: have you got it yet? I hope you enjoy it (fingers crossed you do). I'm about to rewatch it again, since I now I know there are certain clues scattered about, that you find out in season 2 are important. I love this show!<br /><br />Table Talk: I couldn't get into the old Stargate (much to Deslily's disappointment I think, she loves it) so when I saw Robbie Carlyle was on it and it was on a ship, I was interested. I fell asleep during last night's episode of SGU, so I'm going to try again today. It's nothing like Fringe, though, which is far better! did you ever watch the X-Files?<br /><br />Hazra: Exactly, the show doesn't become ridiculous (although very funny sometimes). I like the science aspects, and I love the characters. Great story. Have you seen any from season 2 yet?<br /><br />Molly: did you try it yet? I'm so glad I can convince you to sometimes try something! lol at least I'm returning the favour since my son has the same affect on me! but honestly, this show is good. Just don't start with episode 4 the Arrival, which was the one I tried first. It's easier to start either with this season or the beginning of season one. I hope you like it!<br /><br />mariel: we have the Tudors on here too! The only thing i watch on Wednesday nights. I wasn't sure they could continue it once Anne Boleyn was dead,but now I see they're looking at the dynasty - already laying plotlines for Mary after Henry dies - so very interesting and intriguing again. I'm really enjoying this series. <br /><br />I'm so happy you like Fringe too! Are they showing season one over there now? Have you seen episode 4 yet? It's very important overall, just a hint! What's your favourite part of the show? <br /><br />I hope you feel better by now, too....<br /><br />Kathleen: I've been hearing good things about Flash Forward too, but I missed all the first episodes, and my friend says they have to be seen in sequence. I'll have to wait for reruns to start....<br /><br />Fringe is continuing good the past two weeks, so I hope you are enjoying catching up on dvd! that's how i saw Fringe last weekend!<br /><br />I didn't like Season 4 of Lost, Season 5 got me back again, but I have to admit I'm almost completely hopelessly confused about the plot now. And I hate, I loathe, Ben. I still can't believe what happened to Juliet (even though I don't really like her either, I want Sawyer with Kate....)Heroes is terrible this season, where is the plot?<br /><br />bride: oh yaay! I'm so happy you watch it too. I told my husband (he knows all about you!) and now he thinks I'm not such a freak! he's trying to watch Fringe too, but I have to start him at the beginning. Let me know when you see the episodes from this season so we can catch up (email me) there's so much that happens in ep 4!!!<br /><br />3M: Hi Michele! I hope you like it. It's funny the shows we miss even though we like the genre, isn't it? <br /><br />Stephanie: you and me both, Joshua Jackson has me fanning myself! Love that half-day beard and now he's wearing jeans and that leather jacket, yep, hot! I'm hoping(praying) he and Olivia get together. I love his wisecracks too, and how Peter Bishop became more invested in the show by deciding to be proactive instead of reacting all the time. He needs a gun,though! Not because I like guns, but because he's back up now for Olivia, and he's in too much danger without one. I want to see what he can do with that high IQ of his! And Joshua is Canadian too, like another cool sci fi hero, Nathan Fillion....<br /><br />I hated where X files went in the end too. Do here's hoping Fringe stays with it's story arc for 5 good seasons (that would be fabulous, are you listening, tv gods????). Nope, I'm not obsessed at all! lol I'm glad to know you are too!

I love the science, flawed though it sometimes is, and really like the character development. I look forward to watching more!<br /><br />I too have been laid up with a horrid cold, and instead of reading, have been relying on the Tudors to get me through it!

I can't stop thinking about everything we learned, and that bell sound keeps ringing1 I'm so counting down to Thursday evening!!! I love Walter too, but Olivia makes it all reasonable - she balances everything, I think. I do wish she would laugh a little more, she is so driven right now. I think all the actors have grown into their characters. I really like Peter this season too, he's not so aimless, but much more in the front, taking charge while Olivia recovers. I'm so glad you love it too!!
