Tonight at 8 on Fox, they're promoting it pretty heavily.

Anyone else checking this out?

I think they spent $10 million on the pilot, should be interesting to see if it was worth it.

9/9/2008 2:11:54 PM

it's on the dvr lineup.

prolly give it a go this weekend

9/9/2008 2:24:49 PM

looks promising... mix between x~files, heros, and jack bauer?

9/9/2008 2:43:52 PM

^ throw in a bit of CSI and thats what I picture this show as

9/9/2008 3:11:15 PM

isn't the first episode already online?

9/9/2008 3:36:07 PM

^online legally? no.

a digital copy and a dvd were acquired from comic-con

9/9/2008 4:11:41 PM

damn

its been 3+ months since i made this thread

9/9/2008 8:06:28 PM

opening scene is pretty crazy

9/9/2008 8:39:30 PM

it started out pretty cool but i've been bored as hell since then

9/9/2008 8:46:38 PM

yeah

the characters are kinda lame

josh jackson can't pull off his character

and the whole execution of the show is very lacking

9/9/2008 8:48:24 PM

so should i watch it or delete it

9/9/2008 8:49:34 PM

"Excellent! Lets make some LSD."

9/9/2008 8:50:34 PM

i'm likin it a lot...kinda missed the convo there where they explained how scott and the other dude were connected

9/9/2008 9:25:34 PM

fuckin A this show rocked.


A+ Will watch again

9/9/2008 9:36:00 PM

it got better...after 85% of JJ Abrams patented filler bullshit

but i wouldn't say it rocked

I hope the majority of the $10 million wasn't spent paying writers to write dialogue

9/9/2008 9:38:17 PM

7.5/10. Will check out again.

9/9/2008 9:46:25 PM

Ive already seen the Xfiles.

9/9/2008 9:48:44 PM

we're happy for you.

9/9/2008 9:55:04 PM

I will definetly check this show out again, I enjoyed it a lot

I felt like it was really rushed, but I think thats because it was the Pilot episode and they didnt want to leave much of a cliffhanger. I bet the rest of the season will be more drawn out and in depth.

I also like the little Lost-like "easter eggs" that were showing up

9/9/2008 9:56:43 PM

Has potential but if every episode is "Bad guy does something using idea from doctors lab, they use doctors other idea to solve it" i'm gonna be angry. And how is this guy who killed 140 people allowed to be given immunity like that? It had too many stupid things happen... but it has potential.

9/9/2008 10:03:34 PM

yeah, that was pretty stupid

you killed a plane full of people but if you save this guy i'm fucking i'll let you go

9/9/2008 10:11:04 PM

^i agree with that

9/9/2008 10:11:31 PM

i'm going to give the show one more shot since the ending somewhat intrigued me

i'm not optimistic though

9/9/2008 10:17:55 PM

Might not suck, needs more aliens though.

9/9/2008 10:28:39 PM

my gf is a rabid alias and lost fan so i caught it last night

i thought josh jackson was trying to channel george clooney half the time

the writing was better than transformers, though

9/10/2008 8:17:05 AM

The first 45 minutes of it were boring (after the intro), but I will watch so long as Joshua Jackson gets to be a dick to everyone.

(And I remember it's on)

9/10/2008 8:58:13 AM

Was ok. I can't say it was great. I am going to give it a try. I am not sure what it is, but I am not totally feeling it. I think it is b/c it is a mixture of Heroes, X-File, and 24...(which was already said). Eh...Gives me something to watch though...will DVR it


III

9/10/2008 2:55:46 PM

Kinda cool

I'll watch at least 3 or 4 more episodes before I decide if a weekly thing for me

I liked how the text for each place was almost part of the scene

The main girl started out not that hot, then she got kinda hotter as the show went on, but she was still just somewhat hot, not smoking or anything

And I always love seeing Charlie Conway being an asshole

9/10/2008 10:30:34 PM

I fucking lol'd when that old dude was like "I pissed myself...just a squirt"

9/11/2008 12:07:15 AM

Bad casting of the two mains. The chick is too generic. I find it hard to accept Pacey as a genius.

9/11/2008 1:36:01 AM

i think Anna Torv is great. She has enough sex appeal to attract me but still maintain that authoritative seriousness about her. She is no Gillian Anderson, but I think she fits great.

I think they need to cut down on the pacey one liner jokes. I know he brings the lighter side, kind of like sawyer/hurley in JJ's Lost but i think this show needs to stick close to its conspiracies and phenomenon and drop the cheese humor. I think it will after a couple episodes.

9/11/2008 8:43:46 AM

The main girl reminded me of Sienfeld's Two-Face. In one shot, she looked hot. In the next, she doesn't and you just can't figure out if she really is attractive or not.

Also, I never felt that they were actually going to give the guy immunity. To me, it came across more as a tactic to just get him to talk. He committed an act of terrorism and there's no way the US goverment would let that slip by.

Interesting ideas though and the lady with the Terminator arm weirds me out. I'll watch for the next few weeks at least.

9/11/2008 11:17:05 AM

Did I miss this, or did they talk about what exactly Olivia's rank was in the FBI?

It just seemed like she was just a plain ole local FBI agent and now she is going to be heading up this "team" to uncover a major conspiracy.

Like I said, I may have missed it, but it would be a little more believable if she led a bio chem division or was the head of the eco terrorist unit beforehand.

9/11/2008 12:07:18 PM

^ so you can look past re-animation, but her unwarranted promotion bothers you? Take the show for what its worth and you'll enjoy it a lot more.

9/11/2008 12:19:49 PM

According to the Fringe website she is a "rising star in the fbi" with marine experience.

9/11/2008 12:24:57 PM

^^i'm actually one of the least critical realists on here.

What? He was far and away the best part of the episode.

9/11/2008 12:34:27 PM

^^ yea, with both fox premieres this week I had to almost turn off the critical part of your brain so you can halfway enjoy the show

9/11/2008 12:44:32 PM

^^yeah, but a few of them just felt so forced.


but im not gonna be critical, the show hooked me fast.

9/11/2008 2:53:40 PM

i like the show but it had some of those dramatic clichés that you can predict in the dialogue

"so what now?"

...

"we wait.."

the only way i was able to accept all of the genius talk is because of how ridiculously mature the dialogue in dawson's creek was.

9/11/2008 7:23:37 PM

This episode wasn't rushed at all. I thought it was bloated by at least 20 minutes but I think the show could have felt better if we just got a 2 part Pilot and throw in another bad guy. Pacey's one liners were bad (he's a bad version of House). He would criticize his father and then the next second he is throwing in his ideas and going along with the plan. There is definitely enough to keep me interested in the show though. Just tighten up the writing and I'll stick around. There's enough Alias/Lost/X-Files tie-ins that I can look past the CSI/procedural crime drama aspect.

9/12/2008 9:32:11 AM

Caught it on hulu, looks interesting. Definitely a little rough around the edges, but there is potential to make it awesome.

9/12/2008 12:06:32 PM

This will be a terrible show that people like, like prison break. The jam-packed that opener with a bunch of sci fi cliches.

9/13/2008 3:25:55 PM

^PROFESSIONAL OPINION!!!

9/13/2008 10:55:33 PM

i REALLY like this show.

9/13/2008 11:31:35 PM

finally got around to watching the first episode tonight. pretty cool ideas, definitely going to check out the next few episodes.

9/14/2008 12:02:11 AM

I watched this last week on my DVR. Really liked it, and I've been a fan of Joshua Jackson ever since DC. Unless it starts to suck I'll be watching this on the regular.

Thought this show was awesome. I just watch for entertainment, not for scientific correctness or whatever, and it entertained.

Here's my fear: we will never actually "learn" anything about The Pattern. Every week will just be more questions. Because the guy from Lost is in charge.

I *loved* Lost when it started. ~8 episodes in I stopped watching and never started back because there were never any answers. Same will happen w/ this one unless some resolution hits eventually.

9/14/2008 2:48:53 PM

nice show
