Drinking pureed worms for science!

heresluck wrote a fantastic write-up on Fringe.

Have a quote here:

It is at this point a commonplace to observe that The X-Files is a significant component of Fringe's genre DNA; but in fact Fringe is considerably more to my taste in several ways, perhaps the most important of which is that it is much more of an ensemble show. Olivia and Peter and Walter are the heart of the show, but Charlie Francis and Philip Broyles and Astrid Farnsworth and Nina Sharp play significant, albeit supporting, roles in the week-to-week business of the show.

I also appreciate the way that the tensions between the main characters are not locked into the simple believer/skeptic binary that TXF used (and ran into the ground), but a more complex triad: Walter's a believer, but his responses to bizarre phenomena are not just a matter of belief -- he MAKES this stuff; Peter's a skeptic, but not dogmatically so; Olivia is essentially off that continuum altogether -- she's pragmatic, she's fearless, she wants answers, and when she has exhausted the sane and obvious way to get them, she will put herself in a vat of liquid or drink a flatworm milkshake if she thinks it will get her the information that she wants.

( thoughts and reasons why I love Fringe )

Seriously, though, why aren't more people watching this show? It's sooo good!

C'mon, guys, what can I offer to entice y'all to watch Fringe?

Oh, Fudge Monkeys.

What is this I hear about Fringe going on a one month hiatus after the Thursday episode??? What is this madness?!!

On the plus side, Fox will show repeats of Fringe on Saturday Night Fringe every 11 PM (10 central) and hopefully through that the show will get more viewers but on the other hand, the show just started! Why is it going on hiatus?!

See, this is the reason why I don't want to catch up, its only going to be a roller coaster of anxiousness from here on out!
