Fringe is all right, but it's just a wanna be X-Files. It always starts out really interesting, but then when you find out what's actually going on, it's boring as hell. I mean the science is interesting, but they promise X-Files and deliver Bill Nye the Science Guy.

Not to knock Bill Nye of course.

You Sir, hold your standards too high. Plus I love alternate dimensions so Fringe is awesome.

the world could use more Sci-Fi shows so I'm not going to knock the only ones available

The difference between the X Files and Fringe is that the X Files went through paranormal activity with the idea that there could be a scientific explanation. Fringe goes with the idea that everything in the show definitely has a scientific basis and, in fact, comes from someone's research. That's why it always ends with a tidy science lesson.

Granted, there are some inaccuracies that bug me as a scientist (like figuring out an organism's genome in roughly an hour), but that's the same with any show. The only show where it gets so bad that I can't even watch it is CSI.

I've actually seen some of the later episodes, and they are more interesting, but the earlier ones were pretty formulaic. They were just wannabe X-Files but with far less interesting characters. The two main characters just do nothing for me. Except for Walter. He's the only really good character.

Yeah, **** CSI. Every time David Caruso from CSI: Miami opens his mouth my blood pressure goes up. Ginger headed son of a bitch.

Awww I love CSI. The only ones I keep up with is the Vegas and the Ny one. I really hate the Miami version.

That's what makes it so great. So cheesy.
