I would start watching Fringe, but I'm afraid it will go the way of X-Files and end up not making any dang sense.
Right, there comes a point where you have to either move on, or just buy yourself a Klingon costume and go with it.

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.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
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.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Oh, I have no idea if it makes sense any more, but it's a hell of a ride. And X-Files comparisons are only superficially relevant.

At this point it's making much much more sense than the X-Files at the same length of seasons and plot.
Of course it helps that we've changed universes and timelines several times now so the writers don't have to worry about some small details not matching up.
Seriously, I'd highly recommend watching the series, and I felt VERY burned by X-Files. YDangSenseMV.

I second this. X-Files is a show that feels retroactively tainted to me because of how it ended up. Fringe's nonsense is a fun kind of nonsense, IMO.

Okay, I'll add Fringe to must-watch list.

I spent a good chunk of that Fringe episode marveling at Anna Torv, who has done just amazing work: she's been how many different characters on this show? Original Olivia, AltLivia, AltLivia pretending to be Original Olivia, Original Olivia pretending to be AltLivia, BellLivia, Original Olivia Version 2, Altlivia Version 2, and now the blended version of Original Olivia V.1/V2. And every one of them is distinguishable! Impressive as hell, I must say.

Not surprisingly, they have a strict policy of not talking about the Shyamalan film in interviews.

Perhaps they could express their feelings on the matter in gestures?

I just realized that alt!Astrid is Hannelore from Questionable Content, minus the bodily fluid squeamishness.
