A severe deep dive into the science fiction show, #Fringe! merch: https://www.danielbgreene.comMy books: Neon Ghosts: https://amzn.to/3Y2N1QI Breach of Peace...
Huuuge deep dive on the show and awesome nostalgia fest for lovers of this (probably underrated) show!
(Something weird happens)
“Walter! Could this be related to your research?”
(Walter acts twitchy)
“WE HAVE TO GET THIS BACK TO MY LAB!!!”
(More weirdness)
Walter: “This is just like when x in the y in 19-dickety.”
“Oh Walter! You so crazy!”
(Walter was right)
(Alien eating hot sauce)
Why the but? Maybe you being a big nerd is the reason you didn’t like Fringe (because it wasn’t nerdy enough). At least that’s how I usually see if I don’t like something
Yea, it was about the characters not the sci fi. The appeal for those who like the show was watching Walter be Walter and piecing together where he was coming from and what part past was behind his behaviours.
Not for every one. But the bit you disliked is I think the quirky charm that attracts others.
It gets much better starting in Season 2. I had the same experience as you during season 1 and just watched episodes I caught randomly. Season 2+ had me watching everything.
Hard disagree. The first season was just awful.
Every fucking episode:

I’m with you, I’m a big nerd but rarely bounced so hard off a sci-fi show as I bounced off Fringe.

I really didn’t like how they disrespected Walter most of the time. If you weren’t interested in his opinions, why do you ask him?
It just got super tiresome super quickly. I never finished the first season.

Totally agree. When I rewatch the show I often cherrypick a few episodes from the first season and go into Season 2.
Yeah, I think the show had some fun ideas, but Walter ruined it for me. His absent minded scientist routine was really stale and forced.
Besides that they made no attempt to make the science somewhat believable. The man might as well just be a wizard.
s/Alien/Man from the future/, but otherwise on point.
