i want to join fringe division

I bought the Fringe Season 1 DVDs the day they came out and I’ve been rewatching them. I’d hoped to rewatch the season finale before Season 2 premiered Thursday, but I didn’t get a chance, what with moving and unpacking and organizing and normal daily routines.
Still it has been awesome to see clues early on [...]

farewell, oceanic 815

Anyone who knows me or has perused this blog knows how ginormous of a Lost fan I was, and how much I love creators J.J. Abrams, Damon Lindelof, and Carlton Cuse. Over the first four seasons, it was consistently, in my opinion, the best show on television.
I’m quite certain that has not changed.
But my interest [...]

star trek, summer blockbusters, & state of play

My moviegoing trends are pretty erratic. I’ll average maybe one a month for a while, and then, like this weekend, I’ll see three movies in two days. This summer promises to be one where I’ll see lots of movies. At least the ones generating all the buzz. I tend to be a ginormous fan of [...]

there’s more than one of everything

“Every day, life presents us with an array of choices. Each choice we take creates a new reality. It’s another path — the road not taken.” — Walter Bishop
I know I’m running the risk of sounding like a broken record, but I can’t help it — I frakking love J.J. Abrams. Okay, so technically, Fringe’s [...]

fringe is the real deal — but scc is in trouble

Fringe debuted before an audience of 9 million. That’s a lot of people, but considering that LOST premiered to nearly three times that number, and considering the time, effort and resources FOX sank into promoting JJ Abrams’ latest offering, detractors had a field day.
What they weren’t talking about, of course, is that 9 million might [...]

rocked my face off

I will further dissect tonight’s two-hour Fringe pilot when I’m not about to fall asleep, but I loved it.
Best I can figure — and not that it needs any sort of comparisons assigned it — it’s like a mix of the freakishly cool, non-alien early episodes of The X-Files with a little bit of Alias [...]

on the fringe of awesomeness

It’s taken every bit of (practically non-existent) self-discipline I have not to seek out the “accidentally” leaked pilot of JJ Abram’s eagerly anticipated new thriller, Fringe.
For the past two years, I’ve seen a good chunk of the new crop of shows before they premiered, and while it’s exciting, I’m working on my integrity. Which means [...]

flight 627: the new flight 815?

FOX has released a three-minute trailer for Fringe — also known as the show that has me almost as impatiently excited as the Lost pilot — and you can bet that trumps any personal post from me.
I was freaking out while I watched it. The X-Files wishes it was ever this freaky.
And if that weren’t [...]

i’m definitely not a trekkie…

… but I am really getting excited for the release of the movie, schedule for a May 8, 2009 release.
“My goal is to make Trek REAL — that is to say, not have it be camp, not have it be phony, not have it look like a scrap of green scrap was used anywhere. Of [...]

one of us

I admit, I haven’t always been the devoutest of Lost fans. I mean, this is the first season I have actually watched all the way through (so far). Both Season 1 and Season 2 I gave up on after the Christmas break. Not because I didn’t think it was awesome, but because I watched casually. [...]
