Wow! Some people must not have had creative and imaginative playtimes in their childhood! Maybe a marathon of Star Trek episodes or a viewing of "Frankenstein" would put this show in perspective for them. I love this show and it's a fun break from reality....and the economy. :tongue:

You aren't kidding!

I wouldn't care if the show was crap - as long as I can look at and listen to Joshua Jackson I am cool! The good thing is the show ROCKS!!!!!!!

YAY!! I'm glad Janice is watching too now. I can't remember if people took the X-Files seriously . But I guess it was more supernatural. I wonder though how much science fiction has came to be? I mean really when you were a kid did you ever dream of having a computer in your home? I remember reading sci- fi books about that and now here we are.

I like fc's quote by Carl Sagan. So true. I remember Bill Gates saying not that long ago that they were working towards a computer in every home.

Frankenstein is a little "out there," but the concept of creating a body is in part current. Vital organs can be replaced and surgery to replace damaged parts such as joints and limbs is fairly commonplace now. Amazing, amazing advances!

Jules Verne is an example of one whose imagination was way before his time. I also like stories about time travel and the possibility of other forms of life in the universe and I think even before Star Trek and Star Wars there were numerous kid's programs on space travel. Maybe those discoveries will be made one day. I just hope we don't get to the point that a "HAL" (from Space Odyssey) becomes a reality.

I'm thinking I will watch Fringe tonight as DWTS is just the results show and I can flip during commercials.......... :)

I think I will watch Fringe and tape DWTS instead of the other way around. Too often I don't get to watch things I tape until the weekend and I don't want to wait that long with Fringe. I figure I can FW through DWTS and just watch any good parts.

Well I will ATTEMPT to watch Fringe. At the very latest I will watch Wed. during the day so we can discuss.

Oh it was so good tonight! Lots of moments that I really like - all involving JJ of course! Don't miss the very end! Or the previews for 2 weeks from now!

So I must be stupid or something - what is going on next week that so many shows are not on? Most of the shows I watch won't be on next week - even shows on the CW. I wonder what is up. Does it have to do with baseball maybe?

OMG! This show................... I can't describe it. If not for all of you, I probably wouldn't have started watching this one.........THANK YOU!!

Is this just the weirdest show you've ever seen? I love it. I found myself feeling pain along with them tonight........ I can't wait until everyone has watched it.

Ah, yes...weird alright and sooo good. It's space alien weird, as in mind-melding without even touching the other person. It has eclipsed Dr. Spock's special abilities. And...it looks like they (whoever "they" are) may own the mad scientist's soul. Interesting.

Yes Janice! Veeeery interesting! *said in my best Arte Jonson voice*

You are welcome Sky! And you know what, I probably wouldn't have checked it out if weren't for Joshua Jackson! So I have to thank the casting director big time!!

I stayed awake!! Man what a terrific episode. But I tell ya I was squirming when Peter was being tortured. That must be the episode when JJ was really injured. OMG the bald , browless man, how cool is that. I don't think he is an alien . I Think he is some creation of William Bell and Walter. I reallylike the lead actress Anna Torv , I think she is terrific. And EEEK HE"S BAAAACK! Just what he is though. I don't care as long as I can look at that actor Mark Valley. I just LOVE JJ. He really does remind me of Mr. George Clooney.What if Peter is a clone of Walter?

When they tortured Peter, I was squirming, for sure. The browless man was cool and weird, but what do you make of the cylinder??

OOH! Now that is an interesting thought!!

Yep, love Mark Valley! I have since he was on Days of Our Lives many years ago!

JJ is soooo a young George Clooney! I hope he continues to have success like GC and someday gets an Oscar! Can you just see JJ in a tux??!! So gorgeous! I love the way he plays smart ass to perfection!!

Yes, I am thinking it is possible that baldman (and he was something else was he not?!) could be more a creation than alien since this show tends to be more "mad scientist" than "something is out there". But who knows. It is early yet. They could throw some curves at us.

I really like Anna Torv too. I wasn't sure at first. She takes some time to appreciate. But I have really warmed up to her and her style. I think she plays the part just right.

Sky, I just have no clue about the cylinder. Maybe it contains a bunch of data on experiments on humans or something I have a feeling that will remain a mystery for quite some time. I bet it "pop-ups" in future episodes though!
