I don't care for the show. I couldn't get into it either, but then again, I don't care for Dollhouse.

Look on the bright side, at least someone still has a job :)

And I'm sure you've heard the news already, but Leonard Nimoy joined the series, which in itself is a major coup for JJ Abrams in terms of earning kudos points within the sci-fi fan community.

It's probably debatable, but of the original Star Trek cast members, I believe Nimoy is more well regarded than Shatner. So for Nimoy to come back to Hollywood and be back on television simply because he respects JJ Abrams and his work says a great deal about how much weight JJ Abrams has in Hollywood in getting things made the way he wants without interference from studio executives.

If you recall, this is the guy whose first series was 'Felicity.'

I'll keep Joss Whedon out of this thread, but if you recall my comments on SU about directors and where they're at in their career, this is a good example.

You and me both. I was stunned at the end of the episode, but then I was like, "Awww, this is gonna get COOL!"

One of the better episodes of Fringe I've seen, and one of the best episodes of network television I've seen in quite some time. Screw Dollhouse - I want more FRINGE!!

For those who missed the last part, go to hulu.com - you can watch the whole episode, or just skip ahead to the last few minutes.

For free. Free is good.

That's how I had to see it, because my DVR recorded the hour slot where it was SUPPOSED to be, and cut off early because of that horrible American Karaoke show.

I'm with you and thinking along the same lines.
This is major for Abrams and yes, Nimoy is highly regarded in the Sci-Fi H'wood circles, both fans and movie moguls. Major Coup!

Actually, it didn't pick up anywhere near where it left off. It left off with Olivia possibly having special abilities and Walter having realized he wrote a manifesto about technology, then picked up with a standard case and no mention of their discoveries. A good episode, but not where it left off at all.
