For a while it seemed like "Fringe" was going to be about hollow earth things and I was super jazzed about that but then it turned out to be this parallel universe crap and Walter is the cause for EVERYTHING and I guess it's been on a steady decline since the end of season 1.

Best part of Fringe for me so far was when the main actress asks "Could it be that Cortexofan has stunted my emotions?" and it's so obvious that it's the writers way of dealing with the fact that she is such a lovely actress

i watched about half of the first season of this. i was p psyched to have some x-files type show going but it turns out that none of the characters are likeable aside from the old man jokes 'oops i pissed myself'

just so you know, it's not that the show got better as it goes along

it's that the horrible nerds that love it got more and more desperate for it to be good as time passed

i'm going to spoil the entire series and tell you that the big reveal is that the entire universe runs on the "law vs. chaos" chapter of the first edition advanced dungeons and dragons players handbook by e gary gygax, and the big climax involves the series creator's mary sue character telling two warring omnipotent elder races to knock it off and grow up

once youre done with that, be sure and watch the terrible follow-on series (crusade) and the wretched spin-off movies

Also, agreedo that 99% of Anime is trash, but I saw Wings of Honneamise at a film festival and it was kinda good as [a] it could easily have been live-action and [b] did nothing with the usual anime tropes.
