Fringe - Season One


Recommended Posts

We've just been sent the ratings from last nights episode.

Airing from 8-9:35 p.m., "Fringe" averaged about 9 million viewers and a 3.2 rating/9 share in adults 18-49, according to prelim Nielsens.

Not a bad start and next week they have the premiere of House as a lead-in which should help boost numbers.

Just watched the Pilot...OMG what an amazing show its probably the only tv show that hasn't made me stop and check my emails half way through. Anna Torv is very pretty and she did a great performance so did Joshua Jackson I thought where for once I didn't see him as Pacey from DC.

Can't Wait for next week!

p/s Creepy Abaddon was....weird.

This season on fringe promo

Just watched the Pilot. And DAMN, I didn't know what to expect going into it, mainly because I never watched the leaked pilot, and hadn't seen many commercials or anything. But wow, I was really impressed with this. Definitely going to be added to my 'list of shows' to watch this season.

How different is the pilot from the leaked one?

No idea but as I said before those leaked ones are missing scenes and effects so you will need someone who saw the leak and saw the ep to comment.

Great show! It is like Lost, CSI and X-files mixed into one. The company sounds like it is like the one in Lost...but much, much worse! When the show started on the airplane, I was like, "wtf another lost?". haha

I do think people that can't usually follow shows that you have to pay attention to every word will be able to watch this though. That is what kills most of the good shows because most people can't follow them. Shut the heck up during the show and you will be able to understand it.

Saw the pilot and was very impressed, definitely going to be one of my top favorite shows.

Only thing that bugged me which was really nothing special was the over use of the floating 3D text... It's got a bit of "film wobble" (don't know what else to call it) which gives it such a fake feel to it. I believe Heroes does something like it but it's more subtle and not over used, and there is no "wobble". Someone needs to tell them to lay off it a little.

And by the way, I want to kill comcast and their piece of crap DVRs. I recorded the show in HD and the freakin audio skipped every 5-10 seconds through the entire length of the show. Happens on lost and prison break as well. I record other shows in HD without a problem.

I didn't like the pilot... 6/10

The black dude can't act when he has more than one lines. He was better on LOST since he had only a few :D The white chick just sucks. At some points it looked like she forgot her lines when you start looking at her face.

Although, I will watch episode 2. Hoping a stronger introduction is made...

How awesome of them. :rolleyes:

Oh forgive me for thinking posting an opinion. I'm just curious as to why you thought the acting was so horrible, yet others thought it was "top-notch".

You do realize that this is a forum where people debate things, discuss things, talking, right? Or is that forbidden?

Oh forgive me for thinking posting an opinion.
I accept your apology.

I already explained it above.

I stated my opinion. Then you came from your high horse and stated the other people and critics liked it so I wasn't allowed to have a negative review on the pilot. At least that's the way I saw it. So please, don't even bother trying to stir things up.

Something I loved about the first episode and its stupid I know is the titles of the places that would float over something and look like they were there I know it sounds stupid but its better then the plain text :p

I actually really LOVED that. I thought that was a better way of feeding you information as opposed to the text at the bottom of the screen .. or the text that is "typed" in as you see the shot.

Just got done watching the pilot and it definitely has potential. I had a feeling the boyfriend was the contact. The different objects shown at the end of each segment have some kind of significance to the show's premise in pseudo science. Frogs and butterflies got through metamorphosis, not sure what the six fingered hand or the half apple indicates, but there's gotta be some tie in to being able to get the memories out of the brain six hours after the person dies (like the boyfriend) and the leaf (some kind of time frame of getting something out of it after it falls off a tree?).

It's quite interesting and I can't wait to see more :)

No no no. No you didn't.

"The black dude can't act when he has more than one lines."

You didn't explain that. I didn't see anything wrong with his acting, I'm curious as to what you saw that made it bad. Why are you so against discussing the episode?

    • This got me thinking, would you rather a self driving car prioritise protecting its passengers or everyone else? I'd choose the one that keeps me and my kids safest. At some point, these cars have to make those choices already, don't they? Wonder if we have a way to find out what way they lean.
    • The proportion (or number of iterations) has nothing to with this aspect of Copyright I am describing. In short, it doesn't matter how many times the manager tells you to change something or how. Your work product is always YOURS until and unless you then assign that to the person representing the client/company, usually for financial compensation -- either in salary or as a subcontract work for hire payment. if iterations determined copyright, then businesses would have learned to just keep making changes until they could claim they owned the copyright, without having to compensate the artist for their work. And that would be BAD. The only place where the amount of changes does have a role is in how much does a human modify a previous public domain work (from any source) before it is considered fair use or their own work, etc. For example, if a human makes substantial changes to a public domain (re: AI, by definition) work, then they can then claim that derivative work as their own...but NEVER the original version, of course. That's why anyone can make a movie about Dracula, for example, as long as it is based on the public domain novel, but not if they take new ideas from copyrighted movies made afterwards. As one of the people who personally advised the US Copyright Office on their recent ruling on these very issues, be assured that I specifically used the terminology precisely -- though I made it simple enough for laymen to understand it. If I made this confusing by doing so, I apologize. But, to be clear regarding your assumption that I would agree to your second statement that I quoted above -- the answer is NO. If AI does the work, no matter how much "direction" you give it, it cannot be copyrighted. All AI generated content is in the Public Domain and therefore the copyright cannot be assigned to ANYONE, even you -- until and unless substantial modifications are made to it BY A HUMAN BEING (yourself or a contracted artist/writer/etc.) and then that copyright on the derivative work is legally (in writing) transferred to you. This is a critical distinction. And it is important that people, especially AI sloppers, understand this. For example, YouTube is not paying AI slop generators for the copyright, etc. of their AI slop. What YouTube is doing is sharing AD REVENUE for permission to publish your AI slop. Copyright/ownership/rights never come into it. Importantly, that means that anyone can copy any AI slopware on YouTube, etc. and rehost it anywhere they want, even back on YouTube, and there is nothing legal that YouTube can do about it with regards to copyright protections, ownership, DMCA, etc. Anyone is legally free to use any AI slopware in any way they want. When this ruling was pending, I warned Disney legal of all of this before they did their OpenAI deal -- that it would literally dilute their entire IP portfolio forever. They ignored that warning for the PR and stock bump. But that is why, when the ruling came down last year, Disney quickly extricated themselves from that OpenAI deal, even eating the initial upfront fees -- followed closely by OpenAI ending their entire AI video generating business model. They adjusted their PR release dates to make this less obvious to shareholders, of course. Phew. I hope that this clears up the key distinctions for you and anyone reading. If you have any additional questions or even hypotheticals about AI and Copyright, please feel free to ask.
