I never watched Alias (I don't know why, I just didn't) and Lost had its ups and downs. I am with you on the Fringe love. That show really worked for me.

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.
I loved every second of Alias (even the terrible season with Vaughn's wife!) but gave up on Lost after S2, and have tried valiantly to watch Fringe 3 times now on Netflix but I always lose interest after 2-3 eps.
Fringe , like some other shows, takes a while to find its feet in the first season. I definitely got stuck partway through for a long while, then raced through the rest when it started getting good. You might try jumping to Episode 7, that's when the arc for Season 1 really starts.
LOVED Alias. Even the batshit crazy arcs.
I mostly enjoyed Alias, and then it got to the end of the season, and none of the arcs were resolved, and they just kind of hit the reset button, and it pissed me off.
Alias never worked for me, and LOST somehow kept me watching (for the characters, I guess), but I was stone-cold in love with Fringe almost from the start, and especially after we got seriously into the alternative timelines. I came away with the sense that they respected their viewers, and wanted to play right with the characters, too.
I join Theo in the Fringe love. I seriously plan to do a complete rewatch soon.
I stuck with it through bot Alias and LOST so I feel like I earned Fringe!
I am with Theo and quester with the Fringe love, but the first season took a while to find it's legs. It was a bit of an X-Files knock-off for a ways there.
I can definitely feel the Fringe folks fingerprints all over Sleepy Hollow, and not just because they brought in John Noble.
I really loved this week's Doctor Who. Old school monsters with some spots of humor and rumblings of Things to Come.
I thought the visual effects in this week's Who were the best I've ever seen. Very cool. Very creepy.
