I can't praise FRINGE enough. As I recall I wasn't really too interested in the idea when it first started and only started playing catch up as the first season was coming to a close.
more people need to watch FRINGE. I mean people loved the x-files and here is a show that started out much the same and becomes much stronger as it goes on. - and x-files ran for like 10 years.
I was watching a BSG commentary recently and they were talking about how easy it is to lose people in the audience who then go off an watch something else, or instances where people drift in and out of shows.
I find it hard to picture how people can be so fickle, I mean yes a show needs to really step up and engage and entertain you but when some people are barely paying attention it must get frustrating.
FRINGE is a fun ride and I love how even when they resort to a 'monster of the week' type story they find a way to further the overall plot of the show.
in the end, they need to wrap things up in a satisfying way, whatever happens. Lost ended poorly, BSG ended well [IMO] but people still had mixed feelings about it...
