Ok, I watch and love Fringe BUT I have not watched the new one yet, nor do I think I will be able to tonight.  Guess that means I ignore this whole thread until the weekend.

Is it any good? It's being played on the local tv channel, but it looks kinda just like a remake of X-Files to me (from the tv spots) :-\

I wouldn't say it's a re-make of x-files, but it's definitely about the weird and wild.  It's created by JJ Abrams (creator of Lost) so you know it's gonna be at least a little trippy.

I've only seen half a season of the first season and sort of gave up on it (Lost) but I do, normally, like JJ's style.

I haven't watched lost or Fringe. Which do you guys suggest i start with? I've heard they're both excellent, especially if stoner/wtf series are a turnon to some.  :P

I have never even had the slightest desire to watch Lost but obviously that was an incorrect desire.... ::)  I love the sci fi/mystery of Fringe. I suppose it is similar to  XFlies, but Fringe answers questions and then asks more. XFiles just left you guessing. ::)

XFiles just left you guessing. ::)

actually, they did. and then they would begin the next episode as if the last was off the record.pissed me off at times.

I do like the whole Mulder and Scully thing though.
But sometimes the 90s special effects are a bit too obviously fake :-\

That makes me sad annee that you're just not feeling it cuz I think it's really good but I can see it not being for everyone.

And here is another reason we have such a vast selection of media to enjoy.  ;) I like it too, but to each his own right? Annee you should posts some of your favs.

I sort of like Fringe and watch it with the missus (that makes 3 things now with Supernatural and The Apprentice). Fringe is good fun I suppose but the writing is quite infantile IMO. Like when someone has got to get somewhere quickly you'd think they'd use a chopper, but no, they'll drive in a beat up old car and somehow arrive there quicker?  Another thing is the lack of money spent on special effects, CGI should not be expensive to add but it would mean more complicated filming which they just don't opt for - that seems to be a contant attitude in these types of show, and it is a great shame. 

I think it is a cross between the X-Files, Eureka and a soupcon of Heroes.

i liked fringe until the middle of the season but from there i felt the stories got weirder and weirder and i hated the last episode and deleted all my fringe files. the monster episode was much too much and they also tend to solve their crimes within 24 h ..
i've never felt the desire to watch lost, but after recently learning that it's the same guy (star treck too) i'm even more put off.
i liked the professor in fringe and some of the things he said were hilarious .. could never stand peter's permanent frown, it mades me nervous. in german those kind of wrinkles are associated with anger - zornfalten (- angry wrinkles) they are called.

right now i'm in the middle of deadwood and i think it's great, even though at times the acting seems kinda stiff.
