    I don't know the sites stance on what can and cannot be talked about but these shows are shown over in the US before they are shown over here. Thanks to the internet it's not that to find the episodes.


    I myself, have watched the first 4 aswell. First thing I think that needs to be said is "it's not like LOST". People associate Abrams too much with that show. Fringe is the new X-Files in my opinion. Self contained monster/experiment/weird shit episodes with an overriding plot ticking away in the background.
    The first two episodes were only okay but it really picked up with 3 & 4. It's on a short break in the US now so it's a bit of a wait for the next episode.

    Looks a decent enough series so far and has been picked up by Fox for a full season and believe me for a sci-fi or mon reality show thats a miracle on the Fox network.

    Can it keep going over a long period I dont know, but it was good to read that the creaters Kurtzman & Orci (JJ Abrams was just added to sell the show the same as Lost) have said they have already written the second half of the final episode so know how it will all end. They wont write the first half until the know how far into the mythology of the show they are at when get word they are being cancelled in case they dont get to tell all the story they want to leading up to it.

    As for Fox they are planning on cancelling The Sarah Conor Chronicles because it doesnt get huge ratings against Heros, Monday Night Football and about 6 other shows in that time spot and are blaming it for Prison Breaks bad ratings this season (which has nothing to do I guess with it being very poor this year). So rather than move it to another night they start to consider cancellation so how Fringe has gotten a full season is a miracle.

    That's a complete pain in the nuts ...

    I'd been following The Sarah Conor Chronicles on Bravo, Sundays then it suddently disappeared .... it's very good, imho (you just gotta love the female terminator ;))

    Here's a bit of info, suggesting it was doing well on the ratings ?

    I've recorded Fringe on the old Sky+ so will hope to be able to catch up here soon enough.

    Unfortunately (kinda), TSCC is still being canceled. They gave them a few extra episodes for season 2 so they can wrap it up. Fox haven't said anything official but it doesn't look good. Ratings for season 2 are poor and I can understand why. I've seen the 6 episodes of season 2 so far and only the last two were in any way good. It's been poor other than that and for a Terminator show there's never any sense of danger or threat.

    I'm not trying to ruin it on anyone, but if you listen to the father he's sounds a bit like Adam West from the old Batman. Not just the sound of his voice but the way he starts explaining things 'we need to get a certain compound and add it to the scruntilizer machine'.......

    I've become a big fan of Fringe and was an X-Files fan too. They are not hiding the fact that this is a re-vamped take on the X-Files which is bourne out by the fact that they have hired a couple of producers from the X-Files to work on this show.

    Its like the observer is going to have a big role later on in the series as after the episode he was heavily featured in the next one we see him getting out of the lift in a blink and you'll miss him scene and isnt seen again but will no doubt be back.

    Its been given a full season in the US as has the TSCC which means between these and Lost and my favourite BSG starting back in January the first half of 2009 looks like being a good one for SciFi fans.

    I've seen them all myself, and EP 7 gave great insight to the current plot...how many episodes have they made this series?

    Watched the first 5 episodes and didnt like it. There wasnt enough of the background plot to keep me hooked. I wasnt a fan of the X-Files so I dont feel Im missing much by not watching Fringe.
