Ever since I heard about the twist in Fringe's finale, I've wanted to watch it.

I agree that the Bones episode was cool. I just wish it hadn't been the season finale. As an episode: great. As a season finale: Kinda pointless until the last minute and a half. Plus, I think most people are just angry that the overly promoted sex-capades happened in an alt. world.

Lost: If I had to choose between those characters (which sucks since I like ALL of them) I'd ask for Sayid and Juliet to live. Daniel was awesome but my least fav. of these 4 and although I loved Locke, I think TOQ will do some amazing stuff as Esau/Not!Locke next season. If only one can survive...sorry Sayid but there just aren't enough kick-a$$ females left so we NEED to keep Juliet.

And Fringe...I think I would've liked it more if the episodes had run continuously. There were WAY too many month-long hiatus's during the season for me to remember every little plot thread. Hopefully the DVDs of the first season will be out soon and I can collect ALL of the information so I come into the 2nd season completely prepared.

Would have been better if it was mid-season or something, yeah. They did the same thing with the House/Cuddy non-sex, too, which is surprising (considering both eps aired the same week), and maaan, were people upset about that.

Juliet is really, really necessary to the show, 'cause she's the only proactive kick-ass female on it now (since they neglected Vengeful!Sun all season). True, TOQ rocks a mean Not!Locke, so if he's around at all I'll be happy. Poor Sayid, though, he was forgotten for most of the finale (and the season); I wonder if we won't even see his real death when they (presumably) flash to the future. His story is pretty much done, though (plus, he hates his life no matter what).

I've never actually seen Fringe, figuring to miss one is to be confused as to its mythology, so I'm waiting for the DVDs to get a better handle on it. Hopefully next season, now that it has a full pick-up, real network backing, they won't stop and start it. Shades of the miserable S3 LOST episode schedule ::shudders::

*joins you in the shuddering*

See, with Lost, I tend to record and re-watch the episodes so I don't miss things but I didn't do that with Fringe. And yeah, I could've gone online and re-watched but I just didn't care that much :D. I'm one of the few people who actually likes to watch my TV shows...ON my TV :D.

ITA about Vengeful!Sun. She had absolutely NOTHING to do all season. It made no sense to have her with Locke and Ben...unless you're Darlton and you just want to make the Sun/Jin seperation as long as possible so you can play up their reunion. Which I can understand but it feels like a waste to not give two of your main characters a storyline just so you can build up to a big moment down the line.
