I don't recognize any of the actors, but I am liking it so far. I was an adherent fan of X-file's, so it's pretty much a given that I had high hopes for Fringe to give me a fix.
Count me among the numbers that got tired of the convoluted/conspiracy shit in the X-files and are weakening but still fan's of Lost because of the same.
I'm enticed by the "pattern" aspect but not if it becomes completely convoluted. I'd rather each episode is "encapsulated" and the rest is a minor part of the whole. It seems so far that that is what JJ is doing, but there is so much hinting at a "Lost" or "X-files" mythology that I'm a bit off-put.
I'm not a J.J. Abrams fan (because I don't know his work), although I love "Lost", so I can't comment on the aspects from his other shows like "Alias" that element's of "Fringe" might reflect.
Call me weary, or tired, I just want to be entertained and have to think/ponder a little bit on the shows I watch, not devote precious mental energy on my entertainment/down time. My brain is constantly engaged, I want it to be a bit less so when I'm relaxing for cripe's sake!
I'll keep giving Fringe a chance for awhile and see what comes. I'm getting worked up watching the Debates and as I don't foray into Politic's and there's no place for that here, I'll bow out.
P.S. As a parting thought, I really like Dr. Bishop.
