Did anyone see the premiere of J.J. Abrams’ new series, Fringe last night? I liked it, but thought it copied every Sci-Fi show that exists right now or ever existed for that matter. And, I found it awfully close to Lost. Anyone else see that?

For those of you who missed it you can watch it online and it’s also replaying this Sunday at 8PM ET/PT.

I watched it. I actually really liked it. I thought that the beginning was pathetically like Lost…and basically the overall feel of the show is the new X-files. However, I loved X-Files…so I am all for it!

I didn’t, and I was just reading that Fringe’s ratings didn’t nearly live up to its hype. Too much JJ?

Also 90210 tanked hard. I saw that one coming 5 miles away. It just looks terrible.

90210 SUCKS so hard. I’m so over that show! But I agree with you shan about X-files. the show was too much of a hybrid of x-files and lost. I like Sci-Fi as long as they’re not copying everything out there. When Lost came out it was revolutionary for that genre, and same for Lost…but Fringe, meeehh. I’m not giving up on it as I liked it, but it’s just another JJ show. Keep u posted after next week’s episode.

I actually liked Fringe, I thought it had enough of a “mystery set-up” (like the Dharma Initative or SD-6) to make it a long term interesting show. Plus the characters were pretty original, not just copies of other people from his other shows.

The beginning with the crashing plane was very “LOST”, and some of the music was similar, but overall, I think J.J. Abrams fans will enjoy the show.

“Let’s make some LSD.” Good line.

And yeah, the music is very identical to lost, considering it’s the same composer on the two Shows.

Liked the show, I will definitely have this on my PVR.
