I've had the complete Fringe blu ray box set sitting unopened on a shelf for 5 years and finally decided to give the pilot a watch and I'm not entirely sure how I feel about it, which is unusual because most things for me are pretty cut and dry. I liked the story and what I think will be the premise of the show and I liked the actors and most of their characters but there was something not quite right that I couldn't put my finger on until I read another review on IMDb. Some of the plot points are so utterly ludicrous that it made what could have been an excellent pilot episode in to a mediocre one at best. And (spoiler alert), "killing" the character they spent the whole episode trying to save at the end of the episode made it all seem completely pointless. It all seemed a bit rushed and forced. I will carry on with the next few episodes and see if it gets better but at this rate I be can't see me managing all 100 episodes, but maybe time will tell!
