Surprised no one else started this thread. I don't have much time this morning, but....

Thought it was a terrific pilot for what could become a second X-Files as discussed all over the press in advance but more relevant to today's science. Like most pilots there were some disconnects - like why she didn't secure the body herself as she knew they could talk to dead people. But the twist on the characters' relationship to create what might become a "trapped" nemesis was great.

I'm surprised there hasn't been more discussion either, but I won't really be "discussing" it either. If I didn't already know, I could guess J.J. was involved--similarities in the way scenes end and the music.

I liked it and will keep watching.

Personally I recorded it and won't have a chance to watch for a couple days.

Me too Stuart. Waiting for a Saturday afternoon matinee showing.

I thought is was a good start for the series. Lots of action and a smattering of humor. It has earned a Series Link, at least for the moment.

I had not seen any prePremier talk about this show, watched it without any preconceptions. I liked it. Looks like it will have more twists and turns than "24".

I think that knowing to much about a show before it even starts ruins it all. Shows are build up so much that they end up anticlimactic and rarely meet the build up.

 

[ImBack234]

I just watched it and I think it blows away the X-files. Lets just hope it last.

 

[HDTVFreak07]

Just another X-Files show... hopefully it'll be better. I have set my DVR to record the series. I think it is going to be perfect timing because I can NOT miss my NCIS.

 

[say-what]

I watched it last night and was interested enough to keep the series link. It's "out there", but it's sci-fi.

I just wonder how long they'll keep doing the 3D letters explaining a scene location... :grin:

Saw the lead actress on Letterman last week. She's British. Dave commented on her posture.

Definitely feels like a new X-files.

I must say that I really don't like that they use the same "lost music" when going to commercial. I can't say why but it really bugs me that they ripped this.

Thanks for the heads up. I too will be recording the next showing. I really rely on you guys to warn me of these programs that come out. The one thing about the skip function is you truly miss all the commercials good and bad.

I thought it was okay. It was at least good enough to watch one or two more episodes to see what happens.

I just wonder how long they'll keep doing the 3D letters explaining a scene location... :grin:

I did not like that part. I wish they would just use normal text on the screen.

 

[phrelin]

Thought I should mention that the pilot will be repeated Sunday night. I really believe it's a show worth watching. My full review (with spoilers) is entitled Fringe - it's not about "what's out there", it's about us.

To me, more a mixture of 'X-Files' (spooky sci-fi) and '24' (heroics & action scenes).

It was mentioned earlier in the show that they could do the dream sharing up to 6 hours after death, so I thought it was odd that they didn't take his body straight from the wreck to the lab.

My guess is it took a while for Massive Dynamic to take custody of the body ...

Now about the show ... absolutely loved it. Hooked from the beginning, and not disappointed.

I do agree that I don't like the "Lost" sound affect at commercial break, and the three-dimension locations across buildings and scenes reminded me strongly of Heroes, but even with that... still loved it.

The biggest surprise to me is that Mark Valley was killed off, when I thought he would be a seres regular. But maybe he'll be resurrected, eh?

By the way, you know you're watching a JJ Abrams show when you can click here: http://www.massivedynamic.com/

Loved it - especially the 'twist' at the end that will keep you hooked as they search for it

I meant Olivia or the FBI... You'd think she would've taken him right away.

The only time she heard about that was when Walter was talking about all the experiments that they were attempting back in the 1960s. It was just one of many and she had no reason to suspect that it had been perfected.
