Hell yeah, Fringe is a tight show. It makes the X-files look like garbage, haha.

No way man. It is over dramtized trash compared to X-Files. I watched the first season and was not impressed. A cool show but i don't think it comes near X-Files.

Oh man, I honestly think it blows X-Files out of the water. I liked it, haven't watched it in a while though. X-Files was tight but it's so old school now that it's not even an enjoyable show. But then again I'm the kind of person that believe things die as they get old. Haha.

I can agree with that. X-Files has the nostalgia factor going for it.

It's just modern day X-files, that's about it. Pretty good show though.

In Fringe Walter Bishop, played by John Noble, does LSD and smokes cannabis all the time. He does a good job of giving it a great name.
From an old epsiode:
Quote:
PETER: You can't seriously expect me to believe that you are okay with this.
NINA: Well, William's last wish was that your father take over this company, my personal feelings are not at issue.
PETER: With a basement lab in Harvard, Walter was able to open a wormhole into another dimension that essentially shredded all the laws of science. I can't wait to see what he's capable of doing with a multi-billion dollar corporation.
NINA: Your father made some regrettable choices in the past, but his brilliance is undeniable. It was that intellect that William Bell believed in. And frankly, so do I.
PETER: It's not his intellect I'm concerned about.
(briefing a room full of corporate scientists on his personal philosophy and outlook)
WALTER: So beautiful, It is absolutely breathtaking. Somewhere between pudding and foie gras. And why do I bring this up? You, with the red hair.
SCIENTIST: It's black.
WALTER: I see red. Answer the question.
SCIENTIST: I'm really not sure why we're talking about brain physiology.
WALTER: Dear God. How can you be so limited? When William Bell created this company, he knew one thing to be true. Brain and the mind are capable of so much. Don't you see that the brain is consciousness, hmm? The mind is god! There are no limits, except for those that we impose on ourselves. Open your eyes. Open, open. Inspiration is everywhere. Do you know how lucky you are to play in this sandbox? My heart is racing. God! Is anyone else hot in here? (starts to remove clothing)
NINA: Uh, sorry to interrupt.
WALTER: Oh, Peter, you're just in time for the good--
PETER: Time to put your pants back on, Walter. We've got a case. We have to go.
WALTER: Of course. I'll just get my things.
NINA: He's a bit unorthodox.
PETER: He's also trippin' his brains out right now. You know that, right?
NINA: Mm. Hospital Crime Scene - Aftermath
BROYLES: Van Horn was admitted at fourteen hundred hours. Newton came in fifteen minutes later and went on a shooting spree.
BOLIVIA DUNHAM: (security footage action) Look at that. It's like he's got no fear.
BROYLES: Clearly, Van Horn was an operative of Newton's. We can only assume Newton knew Van Horn's identity as a shape-shifter would be revealed after he was injured in the crash.
PETER: So Newton came here to retrieve him.
BROYLES: And when he couldn't, he shut him up.
WALTER: (to Bolivia) Oh, in the right light, your hair looks like strands of lemon diamonds.
PETER: He self-medicated this morning.
WALTER: Don't worry. I do some of my finest work self-medicated.
BROYLES: Good, because not only was James Van Horn a sitting U.S. Senator with top level clearance, he was a good man. I want to know how long ago he was replaced by a shape-shifter and for what purpose. I want a full accounting of every committee he sat on, every classified briefing he had.
BOLIVIA DUNHAM: Okay. Well, I'll make sure that his office is locked down.
PETER: Broyles, if they can get to a sitting Senator, the whole government could be compromised.
BROYLES: I know. I'm gonna call Dan Gilmore at the CDC and arrange blood tests for everyone on The Hill. Doctor Bishop?
WALTER: Mm-hmm?
BROYLES: Examine the body, see what you can find.
WALTER: Of course. I think I'll go examine the body and see what I can find.
FBI AGENT: So is it a machine?
WALTER: No. Where can I purchase some candy buttons? Those little candies attached to rolls of paper. Do they still make those?
FBI AGENT: I wouldn't know. I try not to eat sugar. So if it's not a machine, it's human?
WALTER: (asks for tool) Nerve hook. To answer your question, it is neither -- and both. Part machine, part organic. A shape-shifter. Such an inspired creation. Frankly, I'm a little envious that Belly thought of it before I did.
PETER: (joins the dissection) How's it going in here?
WALTER: You'll be happy to know that having something to focus on is calming the vividness of my hallucinations.
PETER: I think I'll probably be able to take it from here, Agent.
FBI AGENT: Thank you.
PETER: So, Walter.
WALTER: I'm glad she's gone. Very negative energy.
PETER: It seems pretty specific, don't you think, Walter? One shot, right through the eye?
WALTER: That's a good question. Assuming that Newton shot the shape-shifter to incapacitate him, perhaps this is the location of some sort of power source.
PETER: So assuming that you're right, Do you think we could fix it?
WALTER: Fix him? We could try.
