Hmm I never thought about it but you're right.
BTW, is Vincent D'Onofrio still on the show? I stopped watching when they brought in Chris Noth . __________________

Has anyone here caught Eleventh Hour? It's a pretty good show, but it's almost laughable how similar it is to TXF.

Anyone seen Fringe?
It's okay but sometimes it's feels like I am watching a X-files episode with different characters. Creepy things coming out of mouth, agent being abducted for tests, going to get evidence but the place has been cleared out. |

I'm watching it. It's okay, though sometimes there really are too much similarities. But not everything, though I can't say whether I like it or not.

Just watched The Number 23 with Jim Carrey again recently and even though the film itself doesn't really remind me of the X-Files the whole conspiracy about the number 23 could certainly have worked in the world of the X-Files very easily
I never bothered with Fringe. It just seemed like such an X-Files rip-off that before it even aired I had already developed a deep hatred for it! And with it being a JJ Abrams show it will probably just descend into a massive mess in a couple of years time anyway __________________

^ Rather like Lost, I would presume. Have you watched that recently???? I'm SO confused.
I've seen a few episodes of Fringe, but it's too... X-Filey for me. I watched it with an open mind but after two episodes I was half expecting M&S to walk on-screen. The mad doctor/scientist was too over played for me to enjoy it. It's like, yeah, we get you're a genius, so calm it down! __________________

I agree.......B&B remind me a lot of Mulder & Scully. Quote:

Yes, you are absoluetly right. They are certainly different. But that's exactly what I like about them......they are not trying to copy the Mulder/Scully dynamic. They do their own thing, and it works amazingly well, IMO. I give them credit for starting off from a similar premise (intellectual/logical female meets cute, childish hero), but then develop it into a completely different direction, I enjoy watching that because they have an amazing amount of chemistry together, yet they are NOT exactly like M&S. Cause let's be honest, no one can be exactly like them. That's the problem with 'Fringe', as several people have pointed out. Their show is too similar to the X-files, just just not as nearly as good. The only thing they have going is the Father/son relationship, which admittedly is a lot of fun, IMO. I guess what I am trying to say is: watching B&B interact gives me the same kinda fuzzy feeling that M&S used to give me. Two people who just belong together yet try to ignore it most of the time, for professional reasons. __________________

The X-files gave us Mulder, who's passion for the truth and existence of aliens made you want to believe as well. But The Fringe seems a continuation of X-files (not a good one) . They are trying to put in mysterious characters, and weird things happening but it's not executed as well as X-files was. And the cast is the greatest one either except for Joshua Jackson and the guy who plays his father. I don't like Olivia much. So not much to enjoy in the show and the case always make you feel, oh I have already seen that in the X-files. Quote:

Of course M&S are HUGE! And the chemestry between DAvid and Gillian..
But the chemestry between Emily Deschanel & David Boreanaz is undeniable.. __________________
