I was initially embarrassed, at my age and with a reasonable education, to be watching a show where our heroine can control light bulbs with her brain, among many other improbable wonders. I'd have been madly in love with this show when I was eleven years old and "ESP" seemed one mad scientist from reality.
+4
The way Walter coincidentally and "surprisingly" knew all about every bizarre development was also off-putting at first, though they've finally stopped acting like it would be a big surprise that Massive Dynamic and Walter's old labmate William Bell were involved in everything.
Heroine is heroic, handsome guy is handsome, kooky guy is kooky. It's fun.

I have to admit, I LOVE this show! I've always liked X-files, and anything like it that is mysterious and sci-fi focused. Walter is a fantastic character and I'm always curious what type of new concept he is going to explore. I only wish there were new episodes coming soon!

Entertaining and intelligent show with likeable characters that takes the unbelievable and offers scientific explanations for it all.

What started as a pretty hokey X-Files knockoff has now become the best Sci Fi show on television!

Ok, totally shallow but Pacey?!?!?! He's the best! The show is great, and I really can't get enough of anything that JJ Abrams does. And I love the cow.

I don't watch Lost. So this is my Lost. And it's educational. Kinda. Either way I'm hooked.

Sci-fi geeks worldwide cried like little girls the day that X-Files was ended. But take heart, Fringe is here. From JJ Abrams, the maker of Alias and Lost, comes Fringe... a sci-fi/detective drama. Fringe is named because of the type of detective work it follows, "Fringe Science". It's the type of science that borderlines crazy. It's like House--you get all the crazy disesases--but without the disease part. The … more

To say that this show didn't have struggles during its long first season due to American Idol taking precedence would be wrong. People could have just stopped watching the show due to all of the long gaps in the season and the constant annoyance of being cut off short because Idol ran to long, but people did stay with Fringe because of what a fun and interesting show it is and thankfully, was picked up for a second season. I'll admit, it took me about the first ten episodes … more

After meeting manipulative corporate executive Nina Sharp, however, Olivia and her colleagues begin to realize the riddle of that ghastly flight is only a fragment of an even more shocking truth.
