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.
Haven't seen Fringe, so don't know if it is based on urban legends, but that is an urban legend that goes back at least to the 19th century.
Appropriate, since the mad scientist gets the idea from an F. Scott Fitzgerald short story, I think it was.
One thing I do like about the show is the graphics they use to place the location.
Those are neat, but I also feel they're somewhat ridiculous in the way they interact with the environment. Like, one day, I expect one of the characters to bump into the giant letters.
I *loathe* the giant 3-d location tags. I'm hoping that as the series progresses they will go away.
the 3-D location tags are my next favorite thing about the show. after Joshua Jackson, of course.
I find myself hoping Abrams will employ other conventions used in Timur Bekmambetov movies, like the fast pacing and over-the-top action sequences. And Konstantin Khabensky, of course.
The thing I like best about "Fringe" are the "going to commercial break" cards where they have blue-tinged flowers and such. Those are beautiful.

And you're right, it IS rather splendid. So far have only purchased 'Book One' and watched first 8 eps, but I'm liking it a lot.
I just finished Book 2.
I received the first disc of Book 3 in the mail. Beau and I will watch it this weekend.
Head's up: Merlin starts on BBC1 at 7:30 pm British time tonight. ASH, Richard Wilson (the doctor from "The Empty Child") and Eve Myles all star, and if the kid playing Merlin looks familiar, it's because he's also a Who alumnus ("Midnight"). Advance reviews are a bit mixed, though.
