Season 1 of Fringe
October 10th, 2009Finally finished watching Season 1 of Fringe. If you haven’t watched it yet, I have a little drinking game you can play: Chug every time …
- someone’s brain melts or explodes
- someone is put into a drug-induced coma
- Cortexiphan is mentioned
- Peter asks Olivia, “Are you OK?”
- The Pattern is mentioned
- The characters spell out to each other what ZFT means
- Olivia says, “Tell Walter to prepare the tank,” and removes her clothing
- the characters have a conversation meant to explain why Peter is on the show
You will be sufficiently drunk (or, if chugging a non-alcoholic beverage, caffeinated) in no time. I did love the season, it really hooked me. It was like the X-Files was in its great first seasons, before it just turned nightmare-inducing with little payoff. Not that Fringe doesn’t have its nightmare-inducing qualities—those sensitive to this can do what I did and mute everything that comes before the opening theme song and credits.

So you like this but not lost? Does not compute.

I never said I didn’t like Lost … what I’ve said is, I don’t want to get INTO Lost. Now that I’ve been walking around with Fringe in my head for days and fear I need an exorcist to purge it, I’m more than ever convinced a show like Lost is not for me. Alas, the delicate mind of me!

We like this one too. Like you Fringe still weirds me out completely though, and after watching an episode, Emilio will sleep soundly next to me while I fret and fret and fret.
