I've been trying to locate this as it just about sums up the feeling I had after the last episode was aired:

Don't put off until tomorrow, what you can put off until the day after.

There is an exception to every rule, apart from this one.

I largely enjoyed the series--if only to catch the book titles that whatizname was reading (lotsa in-jokes there*). The last season and the finale were lame, lame, super-lame. Ultimately a vast disappointment...

* The Invention of Morel, for example. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Invention_of_Morel

I started it when in was in the hospital to have Adrianna. I like it. Kind of. It digresses a bit much for me. I'm on the last season and its getting less and less interesting but I've come so far that I am just going to finish it. I think jj abrahms (excuse my spelling) doesn't know how to end stuff.

That may be the case, lol. But he's still way ahead of the curve when it comes to creating interesting series.

I agree. I'm a big fan, just think he could use work on endings. I'm still upset about the last season of fringe.

Did you find it to be a let down or is it because Fringe is over? The whole last season just seemed sort of ad hoc and sudden but, all-in-all, I liked it.

I was used to exciting mysteries and weird stuff and they changed the whole formula in the last season. It was disappointing not to see Anna Torv playing the usual badass.

I enjoyed the last season but hated it overall for the Fringe show.  I liked how it was progressing before...

I don't understand why they decided to just up and change the whole direction of it.

^ Never liked him much anyhow. I enjoyed Walter's antics and loved all of the women...
I suppose the reason for the odd change of focus can be laid at the door of the usual Hollywood (etc) malfunction--too much cocaine and a massive dose of ADD.  ;D
