Title: FRINGE and why you should watch it
Post by: shirenuファクトリー on April 17, 2010, 10:38:54 PM
FRINGE IS AN AMAZING, TOTALLY UNDERRATED SHOW THAT IS CURRENTLY IN ITS 2ND SEASON IN THE US. THEIR CONTRACT HAS BEEN RENEWED FOR A 3RD SEASON. I THINK.

IT HAS MIND BLOWING SCIENCE, A CRAZY LOVEABLE SCIENTIST, A SEXY FEMALE FBI AGENT AND PACEY FROM DAWSON'S CREEK. AND AT LEAST TWO ACTORS FROM HBO'S OZ.

JUST DON'T EAT WHILE YOU'RE WATCHING THE SHOW. :heart:

REASONS TO WATCH FRINGE:

Walter Bishop

Fringe - Walterisms (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZHiBbY7ILBk#)

Special things for special episodes

Not shy of lesbian kisses

CHECK IT OUT!! THIS SHOW DOESN'T HAVE NEARLY AS MANY VIEWERS AS IT OUGHT TO. :lol:

^ I am guilty of not watching it  :lol:

Walter is the best character out there and Olivia is hot :drool:

OK Just so this thread has at least one reply I'll share my Fringe story. :lol: (^ Nvm, kuro replied lol)

When I first started watching Fringe (from the very first ep) I didn't think it was immediately awesome, and Olivia Dunham (the main character) seemed a bit cold to me. But I'm so glad I stuck by the show and kept watching it, because by the end of the first season I loved every character and couldn't wait to see season 2 :wub: Season 2 has been only reinforcing my love. There have been some really great episodes, most recently 'Peter' and 'White Tulip'.

It's fun to see how sick cases the writers are able to come up with :lol: And how inappropriate comments Walter can make. The reason why I now love Olivia is because also her softer/more playful side has shown sometimes... And she is beautiful >_> The show isn't only about different cases, but many of them are tied to this bigger picture, a threat of a scientific war coming that should be pretty damn epic if the show gets to live that long. YESSS looking forward to that...

Anyway that is my Fringe story. LOL

I've been watching Fringe since it started, and was hooked from the get go.
Easily one of the best series on TV, IMO.
Olivia is HOT, and Walter is a treat to watch.
Astrid is a babe and Peter seems to be a pivotal character now.

I was definitely glad to hear that its gonna have a 3rd season, cause its one of the main reasons I still watch some TV.

Peter finally found out the TRUTH O-O OMG OMG OMG. I understand his anger, but I still couldn't help but think he was acting like a douchebag. Probably because I feel so bad for Walter lol.

And I think the dude who crossed is the other Walter. o-o;; Just because u could see the shadow of his nose and it was like Walter's... but who knows :P

Fringe is absolutely amazing! And it's one of very few shows on currently where I actually care about the main plot arch.
The episodes focusing on single cases are fun as well, of course, but it's the main plot that keeps me interested xD; ... and Olivia... and Walter, and uhm... everything xD lol

The retro opening was frickin' amazing. I wish they'd kept it :P Did you also notice that the last two episodes (recent season final) had a slightly different opening too? ;)

FRINGE and why you should watch it?

Anna Torv of course!  XD

First I thought it was a total X-Files rip off, I never cared for X-Files mainly because I can't stand David Douchebag, but I LOVE Fringe.

Too bad our channel stopped showing it in the middle of season two, now I have to probably wait til autumn til they continue showing the rest of the season  :(

OH MY GOD.

HOW EPIC IS THIS SERIES OJACFIWEJOIJFO

ANNA TORV DESERVES AN EMMY D: SHE'S SO GOOD AT SUBTLY SEPARATING OLIVIA AND ALTLIVIA, AND EVEN MAKING A MIX OF THE TWO. LOL

I LOVE THIS SHOW SO MUCH D: SO EXCITING, MY MIND IS BLOWN. OMG.

IT'S SERIOUSLY ONE OF THE BEST SERIES ON TV RIGHT NOW, I WISH IT WOULD GET MORE RECOGNITION, BUT I GUESS IT'S TOO SCIENCE-Y. BUT SRSLY THOUGH.

ANYWAY ON TO EPISODE STUFF
- I DON'T WANT TO LOSE MY ORIGINAL OLIVIA T____T
- ALTLIVIA IS SUCH A SLUTBAG CUNTFACE
- GUESS WHO OWNS MASSIVE DYNAMICS NOW WHOA SHIT PIMPIN'

THIS SHOW IS SO GREAT, IT DESERVES FULL CAPS.
Title: Re: FRINGE and why you should watch it
Post by: twissie on October 02, 2010, 07:54:33 PM
I just watched the second episode of the new season and I LOVED IT. The main plot is always what brought me back to the show (never really cared much for the stand alone episodes, which is rare for me when it comes to shows like this), and though I was rather sceptical of the whole Olivia vs. altOlivia at first, I'm getting into it now.

The season premiere didn't grab me at all, to be honest. There were too many things to pick up on, and I just found it uninteresting, but this second episode 8D This, thissss is why I love Fringe :heart:

Hey guys, if you want to start watching Fringe, here's an episode guide so that you can catch up without watching *every episode*
http://community.livejournal.com/ohnotheydidnt/51623939.html#cutid1 (http://community.livejournal.com/ohnotheydidnt/51623939.html#cutid1)
16 episodes from Season 1 & Season 2, less than half of all the episodes :3

(Tho if you end up really enjoying the show, I think you should watch all the eps lol)
Title: Re: FRINGE and why you should watch it
Post by: winner on October 03, 2010, 10:39:43 AM
Caught up on watching all the episodes. :twothumbs

This might sound crazy. But I actually had deja vu when watching "Unleashed" from season 1. I knew the whole story just by watching the first minute of it.
I think that is solid proof that those guys in the alternate world also get Fringe on TV. :nervous
Title: Re: FRINGE and why you should watch it

Good ep of Fringe tonight, yeah!
Gonna be without Fringe for 2 weeks, it'll be back on Nov. 4th, not to worry. :)

Post by: twissie on November 30, 2010, 10:19:03 PM
Grrrr evil Walternate... man how I laughed when they first called him that 8D I mean.. really, Fringe.. really? I wonder if it was a name they picked up from fans, or if they beat the fans to it..?

Peter must feel like such a jackass now, though.. huh? Assuming he believes the message to be from "his" Olivia :lol: Hahaha, oh man, can't wait for the next episode 8D

That was one extremely exciting episode~! Fffff, love this show :D

How many episodes are left of the season?
Title: Re: FRINGE and why you should watch it
Post by: RatBastich on December 10, 2010, 04:06:53 AM
Seriously great ep of Fringe tonight, fo sho!!

The downside is no new Fringe eps until Jan 21st, which is on a Friday, Fringe's new night.
Title: Re: FRINGE and why you should watch it
Post by: shirenuファクトリー on December 11, 2010, 09:47:44 AM
I still love this show so much omg

OMG POOR OLIVIA :( :( :(
I actually loved that they showed her break down at her apartment... Showed what it was like for her... They could've easily skipped it

And I loved that she let Peter hear what she thought... I loved that she said that she didn't want him. He SLEPT with ANOTHER VERSION of HER, there was no way she could just ignore that!! And all this time I couldn't believe that Peter didn't figure Altlivia out until it was fucking pointed out to him.

I think that eventually they can get over this, but it should be a process and it shouldn't happen fast.
Title: Re: FRINGE and why you should watch it
Post by: twissie on December 13, 2010, 07:02:05 PM
So, was that the season finale?

Once again I find myself liking one-shot episodes a lot less than main plotline ones. Sure, there are of course plotline elements going on in this one too, but I felt the case they were working was just an excuse to keep lingering on the "I looked into her eyes and could tell it wasn't her"-thing.

So sad to see Olivia like that, though :/ But I also felt it was pointless to keep blaming Peter for it. He thought it was her~~~~! Aaaaaah. Anyway 8D

Anyone else notice the Dexter references? 8D The plastic-y kill room, and Walter suddenly calling Astrid "Astor".... Fringe knows how to tickle my funny bone :lol:

The puppet on a string ballet scene was bizarre and disturbing D:
Title: Re: FRINGE and why you should watch it
Post by: shirenuファクトリー on December 13, 2010, 08:54:31 PM
^ Nope not a season finale, season continues Jan 21st or so, and it's been moved to FRIDAYS aka the death slot T_T

Which is why everyone needs to tell all their American friends and family to watch it or DVR it. :3


EDIT: Yeah I noticed the Dexterism, though I didn't really think about it. I was just like.. "Astor.. Isn't that the kid's name on Dexter?" Then forgot about it :lol:

The people have spoken, and they've decided that FRINGE IS AWESOME! ... at least better than Smallville, Supernatural, True Blood and, The Vampire Diaries because FRINGE triumphed over them in the People's Choice Awards 2011 (http://www.peopleschoice.com/pca/awards/nominees/)~!

Congratulations Fringe, and thanks to everyone who voted! ^_____^v

By the way, if anyone wonders who sings the wonderful acoustic version of If I Only Had a Brain at the end of this episode, it's Jeremy Little, and you can buy the song on iTunes 8D I totally did. Thanks, Fringe! :lol:

Finally decided to start watching this series. For now I'm interested. It's more bearable than Lost.

Walter makes me  laugh.  :lol:

If I had started watching this when it first aired I would've wanted to take a crack at the glyphs they show before each break.

http://www.juliansanchez.com/2009/04/07/solution-to-the-fringe-glyph-cipher/ (http://www.juliansanchez.com/2009/04/07/solution-to-the-fringe-glyph-cipher/)

I probably would've taken a different approach at solving which letter goes with which glyph.

Now I'm trying to spot where's the bald observer is in each episode.  :lol:

AAHHH NEW SEASON HAS STARTED

I caught up with the show... The day before new season started :lol: That's why I haven't been commenting here, bad bad shirenu!

It's interesting how the s4 first episode could work as a pilot. o-o

I'm a beeeotch but I didn't miss Peter in the episode at all. >_> He's never been my fav character anyway. I don't find him all that interesting as a person, so the fact that everything revolves around him is a little weird to me. I'm all about OLIVIA and Walter and now, agent Lee! :lol: (He's so cute!!) And Astrid is cool :P
