So I had a conference call this morning at nine to discuss complicated financial thingies I had to take notes on, so I was in bed by midnight last night, hoping to get at least a full seven hours of sleep so I could feel like a human being this morning. I fell asleep pretty quickly, which is unusual for me, so things were going well! According to

As for Fringe - I'd show the pilot episode (since it sets up the mission) and then probably skip on over to the last seven episodes of season two. Too much of season one was hit or miss and too much of the big arc came to play in those last 5 or 6 episodes to be missed.

On that note, any particular episodes I should really go back and watch? Seems like the s1 finale would be on that list
I think Bound and Ability are important in terms of Olivia, and Bad Dreams, probably, if that's the one where we meet the cortexikid who can influence other people's feelings, and then the season finale. In season 2, certainly Jacksonville is a must, and then the run up to the s2 finale.

Fixed that for you. :P

I think Fringe is being fast-tracked (not Glee fast tho') as well. Would be nice.
Sorry about the insomnia. We must have shared stress last night because I too was (intermittently) awake at those hours when not having very disturbing dreams.

That's what they'd like you to believe.

I hope you've slept better since. I actually have, which has helped.

I'm glad you have. Nothing is worse that trying to function while sorely sleep-deprived.

So true. If only the universe started later on Monday mornings. Meh.

I'd say that depends on what elements you think are most likely to hook them. The pilot, definitely, but is this a person more likely to be won by Olivia's kickassery or by the relationship dynamic between Peter and Walter? Is it someone fond of mytharcs, or someone who'd be more interested in Fringe's take on familiar sf tropes? Someone who'd enjoy the X-Files shoutouts or someone you hope will like the show despite any X-Files similarities? The friend who got me into the show had been trying for months, but she'd been emphasizing the elements she most liked. When I reminded her of how many of those elements were turn-offs for me (I cannot forget the damned X-Files too soon), she changed tack and started singing the praises of Olivia. That did the trick, though even then she had to tell me to have faith through the first few episodes, which were heavily framed as "John Scott's ( ... )

Yeah, for me, the Olivia stuff is what made me start watching - people were talking about how awesome and kickass she was, and how she wasn't wooden like some people said, and that made me go, "Hey, it's more than just Pacey and Daniels and Denethor? Let me give it shot!"
