Fringe Discussion #1 ~ Renewed for it's last 5th season!
Fringe follows the casework of the Fringe Division, a Joint Federal Task Force supported primarily by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, which includes Agent Olivia Dunham; Dr. Walter Bishop, the archetypal mad scientist; and Peter Bishop, Walter's estranged son and jack-of-all-trades. They are supported by Phillip Broyles, the force's director, and Agent Astrid Farnsworth, who assists Walter in laboratory research. The Fringe Division investigates cases relating to fringe science, ranging from transhumanist experiments gone wrong to the prospect of a destructive technological singularity to a possible collision of two parallel universes. The Fringe Division's work often intersects with advanced biotechnology developed by a company called Massive Dynamic, founded by Walter's former partner, Dr. William Bell and run by their common friend, Nina Sharp. The team is also watched silently by a group of bald, pale men who are called "Observers". __________________

LOVE this show. I am so happy it got renewed for a final season. Because then things can end the way they want, rather than get cancelled without any conclusion. I have had many shows do that and it's annoying.

Hello everyone! I mod the Fringe board and we are doing a series rewatch. We live chat and watch the selected episodes together.
We do it every Saturday at 12 EST and there is a time zone chart in the rewatch thread (click here) for those who need a time conversion. This week is three episodes ("Northwest Passage", "Over There (Part 1)", and "Over There (Part 2)"). Join us! We'll be more than happy to have you. __________________

Loved this show. Started watching really late, but caught up for the last three episodes 'live'. I can't say I miss it in the sense that I don't sit around wishing there'd been more eps (but at least Fringe didn't get cancelled after 14 eps like poor Firefly #ForeverBitter) but it was a very smart show.

one of the best shows ever made
Olivia Dunham was amazing season 5(and the last one) was not good at all |

I know it was one of the most popular shows on TV when it was airing, but I never had a chance to see it. Now it looks overwhelming to try to watch so many seasons.

Really? I get so irritated with shows that turn sour in the final season.
