AWESOME!!!!
Fringe Renewed for Third Season
- Thread starter Quantum
- Start date
"Fringe" is a great show, even though its main story arc shamelessly ripped off "Charlie Jade".
1. The concept of the collapsing universes caused by the permanent joining of two or more parallel universes.
2. Humans from a more technologically advanced parallel universe secretly travel to our own with hostile intentions.
3. The main character experiences short visions of another universe.
4. A huge part of one parallel universe accedentally transports into another due to instability, caused by travelling between them.
Those are some of the concepts that "Fringe" ripped off from "Charlie Jade" and certanly did not "invent".
Why don't you check out the location info and stop making an ... of yourself.
I enjoy the show and I'm glad that the series is returning, but it does need to go through an evolution. Either make the next season more serialized, or the individual episodes need to be more dynamic and diverse. Right now the standalone episodes are just too formulaic enough to distinguish the series.
I've heard a rumour (on this board, I think) that Fox executives don't like the serial mytharc in Fringe and would prefer more standalone episodes. If that's true, under what stone have those TV execs been living for the past ten years or more?
The stone that shows (with few exceptions) it's almost impossible to gain viewers year to year in a heavily arced show, while FOX's non-arced shows, like House, don't bleed at the same level and can actually gain viewers.
Like it or not, network TV is more a business that bases decisions on money instead of creativity. When the two happily meet, great. But money wins every time, bar none.
Neither the arc stories nor the stand alone stories are the good ones: The good stories on Fringe are the Walter/Peter stories, especially when being crazy interferes with the father/son dynamic. Somehow it just feels true to life that being insane would put a crimp in your family life. On the other hand, being a mad scientist doesn't actually make you smarter (quite the opposite, actually.) Which tends to give you character whiplash. I'd never pass up a CSI for this show but I expect I'll end up watching most of it on Hulu or something.
I suppose strictly speaking Peter should be locked up lest he find out which side he came from and rethink his loyalties. Since John Noble is the only really good thing about the show, and Peter is by far the bast partner for Walter stories, dropping Peter (or turning him into a partner for Olivia, ick,) would come close to wrecking the show. Fortunately these writers don't seem to be too much into character realism.

House seems to have arcs in it.
The show is only called that way in the alternate reality.

I wondered why the light keeps coming on every time Walter opens a door.
