Fringe Pilot
I had the chance to watch Fringe tonight when it reaired. Initial thoughts? The beginning was definitely gross. But not really more so than an episode of NCIS. And despite all my inclination to not like it...I kind of did.
I was actually impressed with Joshua Jackson. I've never liked him before. But in this one episode, I really thought he played the role well. He didn't really do all that much, but his simple presence and the way he barged into that interrogation room, and how easy the technobabble came out...yeah, I liked him.
The Anna chick was decent too. I was so irritated when the show was first being talked about and this girl was supposed to be about 25 but have done all this other stuff already. However, the character came off as much older, much more experienced. I don't know if it was a change from JJ Abrams or just the actress, but I liked it.
I also like that random FBI guy that I didn't catch his name; the cute one. I'm looking forward to seeing more of him.
I was perhaps most impressed with the production quality. I loved the effects, the way the director (Alex Graves of West Wing fame, thank you) set up the shots, the lighting, etc. Very well done.
I ended up liking the whole concept of the show. While I still think it's a rip off of The X-Files, I can't help but like that type of show. Weird science, conspiracies, bad people, ethics, it's all fascinating and exactly my type of show. Lets hope it stays this way...and that FOX doesn't cancel it after 10 eps if it does. *rollseyes*
PS: OMG did you guys see who is guest starring in ep 4 of this season's SPN??!?!
