I remember being surprised that John Noble decided to move from Australia to try out his hand in Hollywood after being in LotR, but the little bit of Fringe I've seen, he's so terrific as Walter.
You know, I just... I woke up, and I looked in the mirror, and I thought, hey, what's with all the sin? I need to change. I'm... I'm dirty. I'm, I'm bad with the... sex and the envy and that, that loud music us kids listen to nowadays.

A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.

Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
My XBF said they'd planted Fringe firmly in the X-Files universe. Apparently there was a reference to "previous X-named departments" or something, I didn't catch it. But XBF reports that Chris Carter gave his blessing on the idea.
I think it's cool, and I want a walk-on by Mitch Pileggi.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

It was in the premiere, yeah. Cool that Chris Carter okayed it!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It's weird that they also showed a bit of XFiles on TV. Documentary?
Megan, think about it. You get to maybe get pregnant by John Cho. Life could be worse.

Yes, there was a chunk of an X-Files episode playing on a monitor in the background a bit ago.
This, of course, makes it easier to recycle X-Files concepts. When they started talking about "They are here" last night, I laughed.

Ah. I wasn't sure who the character was.
You're right. It could be worse. Much worse.

Parallel universes could also retcon some of the more egregious blunders on the X-Files part (and explain why Krycheck kept coming back from the "dead"). Not enough of them, sadly.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Yeah, "Fringe" seems to co-exist with both "X-Files" and "Lost," which means it's one freaky world.

OMG. HE'S GETTING TELEVISION FROM AN ALTERNATE UNIVERSE!!!!

Also, "Millenium". And "Homicide"/"L&O" (The Belz was playing Munch on TXF, wasn't he?).

"Lost" is also set in the X-Files universe? I didn't know that. Makes sense. Insofar as anything makes sense in the X universe.
