Saw this last night. This is a cool show...felt like I was watching a movie :) I'm looking forward to the next episode!

Yeah it had that sort of feel to it, also you wondered where the next twist and turn was coming from.

I hope it doesn't turn into a labyrinth of never ending mysteries surrounding secret organizations and shifty looking people popping up once in a while like in Lost.

X-Files did standalone episodes very well and it's a huge part of what made it so great. It seems like not many shows pull that off anymore.

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...

I'm going to assume that you oh so delicately mean Lance Reddick. I highly suggest you watch The Wire and see just how wrong you are about his acting. He has a very specific style, that perfectly fits with the character they have casted him in. But then you probably just want to spout off like you know something rather than do a tad bit of research.

Hell yeah, Lance is one hell of an actor . Watch The Wire and come back later ;) IMO, he acted like crap in Fringe, but , that's my 2 cents .

You can watch the full episode (for FREE) in HD at http://fox.com/fod/play.php?sh=fringe :D

It's exclusive to people living in the US. Damnit, why do Canadians always get screwed over when it comes to HD content on the internet? :(

I hate those region limited services. The problem with them making it a world wide service sea, technically, is that they have contracts with local channels (or even the localized version of the same parent company, so to speak) so they have to be careful not to breach them. I think, anyway.

I'm almost finished with fringe and so far I like it, but I think the whole inocent nosy person vs evil misterious corporation is kinda worn out (heroes, lost, prison break, you name it?)

can someone tell me.. when the dude dies at the end, what does he say to her?? I didnt understand very well

One last thing. The girl totally looks like an older version of Blake Lively

Another awesome episode!, only problem I have is it creates more mysteries!

Ever watched a J.J. Abrams show before? :p I don't think he actually believes in answers, just questions. I bet he's someone who answers a question with a question :laugh:

But I agree, good episode. Especially loved the part where they cut the girls eye out. Great stuff!

Yeah it reminded me of Hostel :p

Its great that this show is actually quite extreme

As for the people who asked about what changed from the pilot that was leaked and the pilot that showed last week I was told by someone that the time difference the leaked was a longer episode and alot was cut out for the tv pilot not sure how true that is btw.

I watched the series premier and thought it was OK, maybe 6/10. Enough to peak my interest. Episode 2 was much better and I can see that the series will get better and better the more the story develops. I am very excited about it now.

My only complaints are the somewhat over-acting of the doctor (Walter?) and the son with his CONSTANT sarcastic comments. I think once the actors settle into their characters though they will be better.

Lance Reddick is the man though, I love that guy. I was a faithful watcher of The Wire.

Oh, and one of the things I look forward to in every new scene is the titling. They've done some way cool stuff making the titles look like part of the environment, even down to them reflecting in the water. Really cool stuff.

      Exactly. They won't go 100 because current gen consoles are simply too old for any groundbreaking graphics or gaming experience otherwise. They will go with standard (console) price 70 or go with 80 if they really want to go premium. Of course they will have more expensive options too with some useless cosmetics as always.
    • The Light of Life? We actually do glow till our Death, study finds

      Doesn’t surprise me at all. God is light & He gave us life so it sounds almost logical that we would therefore emit a certain amount of light.

    • Motrix Next 3.9.6

      By Copernic · Posted

      Motrix Next 3.9.6 by Razvan Serea Motrix Next is a modern, open-source cross-platform download manager built as the official next-generation successor to the original Motrix project. It has been completely rewritten using Tauri 2, Vue 3, TypeScript, and Rust, while still relying on the powerful Aria2 download engine for high-speed multi-protocol transfers. The app supports HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, BitTorrent, ED2K and magnet links, offering advanced features like multi-connection acceleration, task scheduling, bandwidth control, and batch download management. With a significantly reduced install size (around 20MB), it focuses on being lightweight, fast, and resource-efficient compared to traditional Electron-based download tools. Designed for Windows, macOS, and Linux, Motrix Next delivers a clean, modern UI inspired by Material Design 3 principles, with smooth animations and a minimal workflow. It improves usability through better download organization, system tray integration, and enhanced torrent handling including selective file downloads and tracker management. Motrix Next features: Multi-protocol downloads — HTTP, FTP, BitTorrent, Magnet, .torrent, ED2K, and Metalink tasks BitTorrent — Selective file download, DHT, peer exchange, encryption controls, metadata caching, GeoIP peer flags, and tracker probing Browser extension integration — Embedded Extension API with independent authentication, download confirmation, smart auto-submit, filename hints, referer/cookie forwarding, and real-time controls (Chrome Web Store · Edge Add-ons) Safe filename handling — Content-Disposition, RFC 2047, non-UTF-8, percent-encoded, and extensionless URL resolution with path traversal sanitization Download organization — Favorite and recent folders, optional file-type categorization, stale-record cleanup, and completed history backed by SQLite Concurrent downloads — Independent controls for active tasks, HTTP connections per server, segments per file, and BT peer limits Speed control — Global and per-task upload/download limits with day-of-week and time-of-day scheduling System integration — Tray operation, optional tray speed display, macOS Dock badge/progress, protocol handlers for magnet://, thunder://, and motrixnext:// Lightweight mode — Destroys the WebView on minimize-to-tray while Rust keeps the engine, task monitor, notifications, history, and extension routing alive Notifications and power options — Native task start/complete/failure notifications, keep-awake during downloads, and optional shutdown after completion Network controls — Scoped proxy support for downloads, app updates, and tracker updates, plus system proxy detection Auto-update channels — Stable, Beta, and Latest Across Channels policies with separate download and install phases Diagnostics — Structured logs, exportable diagnostic ZIPs, database integrity checks, automatic DB rebuild, and Linux GPU rendering fallback Personalization — Light/dark/system theme, 10 color schemes, 26 languages, and first-launch system language detection Motrix Next 3.9.6 changelog: New Features Clipboard management — App-owned copy actions no longer trigger the Add Task auto-detect popup. aria2 input compatibility — Multi-line aria2-style task input is supported for URLs with per-task options such as out=. BitTorrent IPv6 DHT — Added IPv6 DHT support and related configuration. File category URL patterns — File category rules can match URL patterns with validation and localized hints. Task status tags — Added clearer waiting and sharing states for task cards. Download event bridge — Added an aria2 WebSocket event bridge for faster download notifications. Improvements Improved task list transitions and preserved task state during tab switches. Kept RPC origin access enabled for local integrations. Restored AppImage stripping in release builds after beta validation. Added localized preference guidance across supported languages.
