My brother told me that I absolutely had to watch "Fringe." He said it was amazing. I get too tired to watch shows after work that aren't on tv so Internet tv works great for me. So I turned to Hulu.
Also, it was kinda slow at work so I managed to watch all three episodes today. Ok, here are my notes.
- Not bad, but not LOST. Also, did they borrow music cues from LOST?
- The graphic titles are cool
- The chick hopped in a tub and the tub had a "hatch"... ok, maybe that's tying it too close to LOST
- I got real tired of all the negative remarks from the Kirk Cameron wannabe.
- Oh, numbers! Are the numbers like LOST's?
- The more I watch the more I feel like it's an episode of The Twilight Zone.
- "Someone has perfected this super top secret experimental anomaly... let's find him, now lets try and capture him but he escaped or killed himself... ok, now onto the next guy"
*******POSSIBLE SPOILER ALERT!*********
- What's with that ladies arm?! Is this iRobot?!
*******END SPOILER ALERT********
Conclusion? Fringe has some great mysteries and a semi-interesting cast but it just doesn't have the hook like LOST does. I don't have a desire to "have" to watch the next episode. It's like black guy and music from LOST have met with a polished CSI show.
OK, so that's Fringe, but my friend Josh wanted me to watch Flashpoint. So I watched that the other day.
Not much to say about Flash Point. Mostly because it's normal show. Not to beat a dead horse but it feels like CSI just more "tactical." Not so much story but still interesting. I mean, I like swat teams and stuff, but I don't feel like it's real enough.

You are right about the LOST music similarities. But the greater similarity is between Fringe and The X Files. Fringe has a bit more action but The X Files had more interpersonal chemistry between the lead characters and an overall creepier sense. But the conspiracy story is good and I look forward to the next freaky thing to happen.
I did get some good laughs from Worst Week...
