With all the recents posts comparing DEBRIS with FRINGE i decided to go back and watch the pilot of FRINGE again, just to re-remind myself. I watched the show when it originally aired, week-by-painful-week, filled with anticipation as we all were, waiting to see what would happen next. It was exciting TV at the time.
For me the essential story was the first 3 series, they could’ve just ended it there with simply an extra 5 minutes to tie it all up. After that it seemed unnecessary to continue and i lost interest during S4, not sure if i ever saw the conclusion. Since then i re-watched those 3 series once a few years ago. I just started with the pilot again 2 weeks ago, then watched all of S1 in a weekend, all 20 eps! What i’m finding is that Series 1 was amazing, DEBRIS isn’t a patch on FRINGE for story. Just in the pilot of FRINGE alone we’re introduced to 4 strong central characters and several strong secondary recurring characters.. that’s just in ep1. In DEBRIS after 3 eps there’s still only the 2 main characters and maybe some others, but i can’t remember the names even of the main ones.. there’s no-one like Walter Bishop to move things along with a smile!
Series 1 is the best really, i’m over halfway through S2 at this time and have noticed several ‘filler’ eps in it, that are just weird stuff but not even connected to ‘the pattern’, a lot of S2 lacks that focus after the definite baddie, Mr Jones, in S1. The whole thing reminds me a lot in retrospect of ‘THE X FILES’ which you’d have to say is it’s direct genetic forebear. Personally i hated XF and both Agents Scully and Muldaur, one smug one annoying.. gad how i hated that prog! Still FRINGE has a lot of similarities, weird happenings etc. It really is the characters of Walter and Peter, Olivia and Astrid the lab assistant, it’s their HUMANITY which i find sets this prog apart from others like it. You can’t help but like these people and want to cheer them on! DEBRIS by comparison, into ep 4 and i don’t even care anymore.. that’s the big difference!
Anyway, i’m still ploughing my way through S2, still in LOCKDOWN so i might as well and if you haven’t watched FRINGE yet yerself, give it a go, it’s a lot better than most of what’s being made now imho.
Sorry to go on,,THANKS :))x
