Sure.. I watch every episode, but let's be honest. This show sucks.

The way they changed the characters in the alternate dimension was just the nail in the coffin for me.. laughable.
Why was it laughable? They aren't like Nega-Characters. They don't have "opposite" characteristics, just different ones.

Care to lodge any valid criticisms other than "this sucks, I mean I laughed at this COME ON"

I'd be super pissed if it gets canceled, but unfortunately that's the way of TV. Only a very minuscule number of shows get to end on their terms.

I've come to terms with it and made peace. I was so pissed at first, got so angry but... I got over it. If it gets canceled, I got 60+ episodes. If not, I get another gift of a season for them to wrap things up with, like Dollhouse season 2.

It's hard though.

It's hard, but for shows like Fringe it's worth it.
Coincidentally, I still haven't seen any of Dollhouse S2 beyond "Vows." Just didn't have time. I'll need to get the BD this year.

There are only 2 mediocre episodes of S2, maybe 1 bad one. It's a *great* string of episodes.

But yeah, I knew there never was going to be a Dollhouse season 3, so I saw the whole thing as a gift. I'll feel the same way if we get a Fringe season 4.

I've been trying to get my brother caught up on Fringe for a bit. He actually watched the first season when I got it on DVD last year, but then he didn't have a chance to catch up on Season 2 until I got the DVD this year. He told me he watched Northwest Passage last night so we watched Over There after CFB was over tonight. It was pretty cool watching it with someone who hadn't seen it before. Lots of "Oh shit" moments for him and stuff like that. He seemed to really like it. So I saved this whole season on my DVR so I'm going to try and get him all caught up as soon as I can. It will be cool to actually be able to watch it with him weekly. Only other thing we both watch now is The Walking Dead.

Heh whoa that's funny: the only two shows my brother and I watch are also Fringe and TWD.
Unfortunately, he hasn't watched ANY of s3 yet. I keep telling him he has to.

Ha... that is funny.

How could your brother not want to watch Season 3 immediately :lol I think if my brother didn't have to go to work tomorrow, he may have watched the S3 premiere right away. He needs a day or two to let his mind wander about what will happen next anyway so it's better off this way.

I dunno, he's weird. He far prefers MOTW episodes, and he originally hated the growing mythology. I've tried to get him interested, and I think I did, but I'm gonna let him take his time :p

We're only seven episodes in but so far, this is shaping up to be the strongest season. Really happy that the show is finally living up to it's potential.

It seems 3x09 is our fall finale. That means we're going to get a nice 13 episode spring.

I really really hope Fridays work out, I need more of this show in my life.

No episode on the 16th, you think? Makes sense I guess, splitting it into 9 and 13.
Fridays are going to be rough...maybe not. It's not like I do anything.

I would have liked Peter to be a little more pissed in that scene (both at himself and Bolivia) but it was still tense as fuck.

And the Red/Blue title sequence! So freaking cool.

Awesome opening. Joshua Jackson fucking killed it. Also, Olivianate with the ponytail at the end? Yummmm.

I wish he would have gotten at least one or two answers. Even ones we already knew the answer to.

OMG Walter's story about sleeping in the wrong house for days :lol :lol :lol :lol

Written by showrunners Wyman and Pinkner and directed by Brad Anderson, who always does greatr episodes. This should be awesome. Also, still a huge fan of the transitions between universes. Slick as hell.

I think they're sweet. I'm still shocked some don't understand the transition.
