I crack up every time I think about it.<br /><br />I think if you loved Lost then you will really enjoy Fringe. The stories for the most part are really exciting and creepy, the performances, especially John Noble, are consistently high quality, and it blends dramatic and comic moments really well. <br /><br />Actually, I think Fringe is a better show than Lost, for a few reasons. One, it deals with a lot of the same themes (father/son relationships, the struggle of our impact on events, the part of memory in our self-definition) but since it is confined to a smaller set of characters, the exploration is richer. Two, for the most part, Fringe operates on the principles of free will, choice and consequence, which I find more dramatically compelling than destiny as a universal principle.<br /><br />But just to let you know, Fringe is kind of a slow start. It takes a few episodes to find it's voice and footing, but every show has some growing pains. Also, it is gory; people die in icky icky ways in almost every episode. I think it's really cool, but that's not to everyone's taste.<br /><br />Especially if you don't watch all that much TV, and therefore I assume you don't want to waste your time, Fringe is a great choice to watch.The TV Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14014983101458697171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6036480539475400168.post-41705911493137456752011-05-09T21:42:07.282-04:002011-05-09T21:42:07.282-04:00hey there in tv land...I don't have tv- so I h...hey there in tv land...I don't have tv- so I haven't watched anything since Lost finished- I loved it....every minute of it (except Bai Ling- what was that?)--- I see you watch Fringe- should I rent the first seasons???
