So... I was going to be the Pilot episode of Fringe in iTunes, and I end up buying the whole season pass for 32 friggin dollars. So... Is it good? I'm obviously gonna watch it now, but I'm gonna be extremely pissed if it's not good.

Just wanting your opinion of the show.

Why do I keep reading the topic title as "I just bought France... :("?!?
I enjoy it. I don't know if I'd watch it all as a season on DVD, but I like it in a once a week dosage. It's stupidly smart, and kind of like a darker, more realistic Eureka, if you've seen that.

John Noble is fantastic in it though. It's worth watching just for his character's mad ramblings.

I totally understand the "stupidly smart" comment now. :)

I live near Eureka!...;) the kids place...
I love it! The weird science is just mind bending and it's fun. I think they're tip toeing around getting to the what's going to be the final showdown of the season, which is driving me nuts, but that's just because I'm impatient! The humor's great, it's a little subtle, so you have to think about it.....I like that in a TV show.
 
I enjoy the show. However, I don't feel like it's even close to living up to its full potential. It could be as good as Alias and Lost but isn't quite there. The show has been getting really good with the last few episodes though, and I'm looking forward to the show's return next month.

I think it's a 2nd season deal with JJ, he seems to need a little warm up time, you know?
My boyfriend and I both enjoy it. Don't know that I'd want to watch back to back episodes of it on dvd yet. But definitely watchable.
 
Okay, this makes me feel a little better. As does the Pilot epy. I actually really liked it. So, if every episode lives up to this first one, I'd say "money well spent". 🙂 Thanks.

I'd say they get MUCH better.
Ok, I've watched 3 epy's, and I think I can say, without a doubt, that I totally spent my money well. It's totally badass. 🙂
 
I have been watching it here in the U.K and I really like it. Well you will be glad to know 'the Ferg' that it gets better as it goes along.x
 
I like it. I didn't like whasserface at first--I thought she was too serious (of course, she has good reason to be), but the crazy doctor is awesome. And she lightens up a bit . . .
of course, right before she gets abducted by a crazy man and they ended until January!

Of course! But what's even more intriguing to me is what does what's-her-name, the head of Massive Dynamic, have to do with it? I just KNOW she's behind it all!
Just posting to agree with the general consensus that this is an awsome show, which I've just finished cathing up on - no need for only once a week viewing for me. :biggrin:
It's definitely a show I'd wanna get on dvd when it comes up (so don't bite my head off for having watched it! :wink: )
 
Like everything else of Abrams (so far - if he ruins Star Trek I will follow through on my Jihad promise) I am far from impressed.

I seem to be in the minority (ON HERE) but I don't like it.
