Just finished watching it. I liked it. There's a little more humor than I expected, and it's got that Abrams slick/polished look.
Obviously influenced by the X Files. |

Very cool show. Lots of potential. Your right, definately X-File inspired.
Wasnt sure about "Pacey" being in cool sci-fi stuff, but hes ok. I wonder whatever happened to James Van Der Geek? LOL

I was hooked when I saw Giacchino as the composer.
I was happy I was able to call the agent working with that informant.

Also, I loved the limited commercial interruption, which is a draw for the show since it's one of two test shows they're doing it with.

I thought the first 15 minutes was absolutely awesome. But then the second quarter hour just dragged for me. After that, I thought it was pretty solid. Definitely a show with some promise.
Isn't Dollhouse the other test show? |

Oh Hell YES!
That was the shit. I was a kid when the X-Files was on so I cant quite remember, but I think that the X-Files were like CSI, in that each episode was its own story for the most part, while it sort of followed a general story line. The previews for the upcoming shows make it look like its more like Lost/Heroes where the whole show follows a basic storyline, where you had to watch last weeks episode to get this weeks. I really liked it, and I think that the actors did a pretty good job, it didn't feel like any kind of fake acting. I will definitely be watching this show this season. |

Yeah, that violin upsweep takes me out of Fringe and has me thinking, 'when's Lost coming back again?'

I know, right? Sucks I have to go a whole season without it. Oh well, maybe I can catch up on it.

Wow. I'm surprised at some of the comments.
I thought the score was awful. Totally derivative. It sounded like a "Pilot", not a series. The story was "okay" but nothing special. What's JJ's fascination with planes? This would have been a C Minus if it had been an X-Files episode. I'll watch again, but if episodes two and three aren't better than the pilot, they'll definitely lose me as a viewer. |
