Posts: 598 (09/10/08 7:44 AM) Registered User Reply Quote More Recent Posts	I have never started a new thread and fully expect this to get locked but...after watching Fringe last night (and seeing the Numbers in there on occasion) I couldn't help but wonder if there will eventually be some sort of connection between the two shows. I know they are on different networks but the idea of "fringe science" becoming mainstream would certainly be convenient for using "scientific explanations" to cover the stuff in Lost. Does anyone else feel this way or am I off on my own...?

It has an interesting premise, right now I think it's at about 50/50 whether it will be good or suck. I'm giving it a few more watches. They could probably link it to Lost in some fashion. Like having the Massive Dynamic (stupid name!) corporation being linked with Widmore or Dharma. And of course it is interesting that Fringe opened on an airplane with some very Lost like moments

Alias and Lost had some stuff like that too, but the two shows really had nothing in common. I haven't actually watched Fringe yet, but it's on my DVR.

Joshua Jackson just kind of ruins it... Olivia also seemed a bit to gung ho to try the experiment to talk with her boyfriend. Definitely need to see the second episode, that is where a show really shows its legs for me personally. It was very X-Files like to me. Actually it reminded me a lot of X-Files: I Want To Believe (but that might have to do with it having the FBI, snow, and a crazy old man). The show picks up after the first 30 minutes when Dr. Bishop is introduced and the last 20 minutes are pretty good as well.

(HEY ANGELONE RHYMES WITH BALONEY!!) I highly doubt Fringe will have any real connection to Lost other than some of the ideas coming from the same mind like Cindi said. Alias fans noticed similarities. If ya look hard enough you can find similarities in a lot of shows that were totally unintentional. I think some of JJ's are intentional though not connected. Did that make sense? Could "fringe science" help to understand some of the weirdness of Lost? Maybe. I heard there's a repeat on Sunday? Hope so.

Posts: 105 (09/11/08 12:29 PM) I don't get most of the jokes Reply Quote More Recent Posts	I got really bored with Fringe after they got the doctor out of the mental institution, even the parts at the end that were supposed to 'shock' me, didn't. It's not my cup of tea i'm afraid...I wanted to like it so bad though!

The bit where he says 'number control everything' and the whole 70's feel to all the science. It would be a clever (but i guess commercially risky) way to explore the mythology further, without having to spell it out in lost. anyway, that's mho :)
