Fringe

[Weebs]

Anybody else catch the premiere tonight?  It's the new J.J. Abrams show, for those who don't know.

I thought the pilot was pretty good.  The production values were off the chart.  Anna Torv plays the lead role, and while it was nice to see her stripped down to her bra and panties a couple times, the fact that she seemed to only be able to cue up a "nervous" expression on her face through about 90% of the show was a little annoying.  Charlie Conway was also decent, although a majority of the episode he was responding with unfunny one-liners to anything his dad said.  All-in-all, I think it should turn out to be a pretty good show.  I'd assume it will be filled with the usual Abrams twists and turns and half-truths about everything.

I was kind of out of it while watching this show, but did the hot confused looking blond take lsd that that dude from Dawson's creek just "whipped up"  and it was only like an hour trip?

[Wheezer]

Holy cats.  I'm only at the 60 minute mark, but I'll be amazed if this manages to last as long as "The Nine."

[5laky]

The Nine? UGH.

I'll catch the first season on DVD if it turns out to be decent.

[Waco Kid]

I thought it was pretty good. I like the premise and it certainly is classic Abrams.

[Andre Dawson's Creek]

I don't know if it's been mentioned before, but this is just the usual, classic Abrams TV show.

It lulled at times, and the end twist was a touch predictable, but it was certainly enjoyable.  A good kickoff to the series.  Hopefully they can better the pacing by cutting the airtime to 60 min.

I've started to think like this about all upcoming shows.

No commercials, no time commitments. A winner is us.

I usually just DVR the first few episodes and see if I like where it's going.

DVR? I can't afford that! Who do you think I am, Weebs or something?

[TDubbs]

I thought this show was pretty darn good.  A bit too sciency at times, but good.  TDubb's star approval:  4 out of 5

[Wheezer]

A bit too sciency at times, but good.

Emphasis on the 'y'.  It takes longer than two hours to whomp up a batch of LSD.  How this was supposed to synergize with everyone's favorite battlefield anesthetic, ketamine, completely eludes me (John Lilly reference notwithstanding).

I didn't make it to the end--the characters were just too flat for my taste.

Wheezer is right.

Otherwise, I would have been a chemistry fhag.

I have TWO different TVs with DVR.  HDTVs!

I have one TV with TWO different VCRs.  Lets me lay down the radio call on the same tape with the TV broadcast in case of emergency.
