its not a great program, but it sort of plays itself as kooky and not very weighty.
most recent new episode was pretty good though

This program is shocking.
It follows the same path all the time.
They investigate something weird, someone gets hurt, the crazy old man is the only one to fix them and they never really find out the cause.
Acting is poor, story line is poor, theme tune is poor and they claimed it was the "New" X-Files. How dare they!.

Yeah it's very thin - I've watched it for lack of many other things to watch and it just isn't that engaging.
yea same thing all the time. Shame it had some good ideas I just wish they changed the way the program went. You could almost predict what was going to happen.
The acting was pretty poor aye. Walter was the only char I thought was half decent. The rest was just meh.
Anyways Lost is back now so time to watch more WTF is going on T.V
I love Fringe. I get that the story of each episode has been repetitive so far but there's something about the way it's delivered that keeps me interested.
The acting doesn't strike me as bad at all, rather some of the lines are a little cheesy (e.g. Dunham talking about Scott).
Also Walter alone could carry this show for several seasons
I think I'd best describe it as the love child of a threeway between X-Files, Lost and House.

Don't you dare include x-files in the comparison to Fringe!
X-Files is 20x this show will ever be.
I'm not comparing it, I'm drawing similarities.
I can't see him without thinking Vincent Price.

Hopefully gets canned soon, sorry but this is prime time you cant be just showing the same episode/plot each time 
Acting is almost blank apart from that guy, I think Xfiles covered pretty much most of the angles over its course of 10 years and 2 movies? and frankly we dont need another wannabe.

I've never seen 24 before but doesn't he have 24 hours to save the world, every episode?
every "hour" is a 45 minute ep so 24 ep later..

Come on guys, even though the acting is woody, even if its the same episode every time, you have to love Fringe just for the fact that Walter is a legend! He makes me chuckle more than any other character in a series for a long time.
Well since JJ is involved I was hoping of more a developed arc rather than what is essentially a series of one offs which may / maynot hit upon a tie in for it all once or twice per episode... so on the one hand I am hoping that it is building to something more interesting and with a bit of depth, but on the other I think its a couple of sci-fi fans writing a bunch of "wouldn't it be cool if" 's.
