Watch Fringe, please!
I am a big fan of the TV show Fringe. It is so smart, fun & funny, exciting, gross and touching. I watch it all the time, have the first 2 seasons on DVD and seriously ship Peter & Oliva. The first show that really drove me into obsessive fandom like this was The X-Files. The parallels between these two shows are icing on the cake and they even gave a shout out to it in one episode, saying the extreme cases they were working on would have been under the old "X" designation years ago. And much like I did for Mulder in days of old, I now have a serious crush on Peter Bishop as played by Joshua Jackson. I visit a site called Fan Forum and wax rhapsodic about him with others of like mind under the nom de plume "fringe du jour". I also like to talk about just him at the Joshua Jackson site, Fringe at the Fringe site and his other work as Pacey in Dawson's Creek. When I fall, I fall hard and it is complete (in my X Files days it was fan fiction, magazines and conventions). I find that I enjoy sharing ideas with other fans so much that I will post in other areas of the forum for shows like True Blood and Veronica Mars. I had somebody introduce me to Veronica Mars not too long ago and now I just love it. I can't believe I didn't watch it before. Oh well, at least Netflix has allowed me to watch and enjoy it all. The reason I bring this up is that Fringe is in danger of being canceled prematurely, much like Veronica Mars and another excellent show Firefly. I want to encourage everybody who likes great TV to give this show a try before its gone. The first season was good but gets progressively better and season three has been off the hook.
