So I am watching Fringe and love it.  But am I the only one out there thinking and hoping that there may be some crazy connection between Fringe and Lost?

Could the FBI be covering up the plane crash?  Matthew Abaddon plays an FBI agent in Fringe and a recruiter of mercenaries in Lost.  Could he be a connector between both shows?  And what if Massive Dynamic were trying to find the island to exploit it's powers?

With J.J. Abrams working with both shows, it just has me wondering.

I don't think there'll be any crossover, but this is probably my favorite series of last Fall. Great characters, and the dad is completely nuts, it's hilarious.  I'll wait for the next episode to come out to have a better discussion. But last episode was really good, lots of action and plot important events.

I remember the father from Lord of the Rings.  He is so funny in Fringe, he makes the show in my eyes.

I like Fringe. I like Life on Mars better for new shows, but I like Fringe.

I really liked the past 3 epis...its really starting to come together.

Walter: I heard your tone, it sounded like you were arguing.
Peter: Everything is fine.....I tried to expense a couple of Celtics tickets on the FBI, she caught me.
Walter: Ha, I see...I truly hope she does not notice the two thousand dollar for the baboon seminal fluid I ordered...
...Now if I can recall why I ordered it.....


This show is pretty funny in between the dead people and intrigue.

I rarely watch anything live myself.

Anyways, just watched the latest episode and liked it a lot. I'm enjoying the sister being around, so we might be seeing a bit of tension relationship-wise between Olivia and her sister with Peter.

The episode's message was very clear, DON'T CLICK POP-UP ADS!.

I really, really hope that people are watching this show. It is really, really good. I mean talk about a show starting slow then hitting its stride. I just dread the horrible awful cliffhanger that is due ina bout 3 weeks or so.

Do yourself a favor and catch up, its really good now. Last weeks was the best one I think so far.

Finally caught up. The last few episodes have been great, with some good reveals. We learn more about the nature of the bald dude, the origins and powers of people like Olivia, Walter's involvement in human experiments, and tying the terrorist to William Bell.

And as always, Walter is hilarious.

I would've thought that more people would be watching this series. The last couple of episodes have been quite good and revealing. Last episode especially was excellent, with a great twist and cliffhanger ending. I loved Olivia's confrontation with Walter.

I agree that the second half of the season has been great. The problem is the early parts of the season lacked the compelling narrative. All we got was regular allusions to how sinister Massive Dynamic must be and then mentions of The Pattern. I almost tuned out early on.

It was when that guy was broken out of prison that things started coming together. Like Lost (which had an amazing episode last night), the mythology of the series seems very robust, and it should lead to some compelling twists.

I think that fact that they didn't know if they were going to get picked up for a second season may have had something to do with the slow start.

Writers may not have wanted to get into the big picture if they couldn't continue after the first season.

Now that they have been picked up, I think that Season 2 is going to be very good.

I am looking forward to the season coming out on DVD so i can go back and watch it again.

Season finale last night... what did you guys think of it?

So the "real" Peter is dead, this one is probably from another reality. We get to meet Spock... sorry, William Bell. Alternate realities, one with the Twin Towers still there. I wonder where the second season will take place.

Oh crap, I forgot to mention LEN BIAS IS ALIVE in this alternate universe, and the Celtics Sweep... he also won the MVP.

Also, there's a new White House, who knows for what reason.
