Fringe 1X02: The Same Old Story
This was a damn fine episode.
Not sure I've ever been turned around on a pilot I hated so quickly. The characters and relationships (and the quality of the cast) make all the difference. Plus, it was genuinely creepy.
I'm on baord.
I'm also super-impressed that they snagged Darin Morgan as a consulting producer. Morgan wrote four--and only four--episodes of The X-Files, each one a classic. His script for "Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose" won an emmy -- which is exceedingly rare for a genre show.
So, fine--It's basically a new X-Files... but maybe it's not a knock-off, after all. Time will tell...

Oooooh, really?
I was so going to delete it from my DVR, but now I'll check it out.
totally. check it out. i'll be interested to hear what you think.
I didn't mind the opener because I liked the characters. Looking forward to ep 2 which airs on Wed pm here in Oz. Two of the main stars (Anna Torv and John Noble) are Aussies so it's had a but of press here!
