Fringe

I was wrong about Fringe.
I stopped watching it because I thought it would be science crime of the week, and the thirty minutes into the first show they went for thought transference. Now that I've watched all the episodes (thanks Hulu) I realize that its mad science crime of the week plus season long continuity plus psychotropic drugs.
So, to reiterate, I was wrong and I now like Fringe very much (Prince of Space reference).

I'm addicted to it too, although I'm starting to wonder where it is going? It reminds me of Lost sometimes, in that I seriously begin to wonder, "Are they totally making this shit up? Fie to having a storyline that makes sense!" hehe...I am looking forward to the next episode in January. :)
Hulu rules btw! Andy and I are thinking about getting rid of our cable and just watch shows off the mediacenter on the internet. Yay to saving money!

I'm sending Yule cards out again and I want to send you one, but don't have you address. Could you please reply with that? Andy and I are going to be in the Albert Lea area (Glenville) the weekend after New Years. Would you want to get together? We haven't seen you in a while and we'd like to catch up.

What's Fringe?

I just pm'd my addy to you.
Fringe is a show on fox and available on hulu.com.
Its about a FBI agent seconded to homeland security who investigates weird shit like a busload of people encased in solid smoke, a lady who gets pregnant and come to term within hours, and a bankrobber stuck in a wall. Assisting her are a very mad scientist (he was institutionalized until recently) who actually developed most of the crazy stuff in the show, the scientist's drifter son, and Astrid the receptionist assistant FBI agent. The show contains a MythArc (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/MythArc) but since this is a JJ Abrahms show, it might take seven years to pay off (or they might not even know where its going).
