It wasn't bad but I could see some premise fatigue setting in after a season or two.
It was a good first episode. The mad scientist and his son hooked me. Lance Reddick and Blair Brown were excellent in their roles as well. I'm not sold on the lead actress. I'll give it a shot. --- In scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com, Martin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > For the Official Record, folks, I lasted abotu forty seconds into "Fringe".

For the first time in years, I didn't get the advanced TV Guide to the upcoming season, didn't even spend time on the Web researching the upcoming series--not even the scifi ones. Guess I can thank the Presidential race and the Olympics for that. In a way that's cool, as I don't know what to expect from anything. I was surprised to note in the trailers that John Noble (the Steward of Gondor from LOTR) was one of the stores.
