NightCrawler. Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 If anyone has watched the leaked one from a couple months back, and this one as well - did you notice any differences? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob2687 Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 (edited) 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.

Ayepecks Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 I thought it was alright. The directing was good and I liked a bit of the premise, but some of it just seemed so vague and cliched. The acting was alright, but nothing spectacular in my book. Looking forward to more still, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dev Null Zen Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 I didn't like the pilot... 6/10The 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watch The Wire and come back later ;) IMO, he acted like crap in Fringe, but , that's my 2 cents . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julius Caro Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 (edited) 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 Edited September 16, 2008 by Julius Caro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurmoth Posted September 17, 2008 Author Share Posted September 17, 2008 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

patseguin Global Moderator Posted September 17, 2008 Global Moderator Share Posted September 17, 2008 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.
