We are early in Season 2 and it just isn't gripping me, as I have seen that X-Files rip-offof investigating the unusual so many times before (eg X-Files, Buffy, Sanctuary, Warehouse 13, Eureka, etc). I know that Fringe is one of the best of these, possibly the best according to many people I respect. However the thought of watching another 80 odd episodes is terrifying when there are so many other things I want to watch, particularly as due to our busy lives we only get to watch 5 or 6 episodes a week, so I am looking at months of watching something I just don't like that much (but can't say no to my wife for various reasons). Can you guys please reassure me that it gets better as we progress.
It does - the first season is the most painful following the "paranormal phenomenon of the week" pattern. Soon it'll be all about parallel universes. At least you get to watch John Noble.

I just finished watching season five of The Americans. Everyone was crying because this season was sort of standalone and had a lower body count, but I thought it had depth and was good. On the podcast, Keri Russell and Matthew Rhys sound like they are sort of cheerfully drunk, which is such a huge contrast to their characters.

Some minor complaints: the Martian Manhunter is significantly weaker on this show, to avoid overshadowing Superman and also to avoid J'onn's lame weakness to fire. I would have rather seen less of Lex Luthor and more of other villains, but Lex is admittedly great on this show. Hawkman fans will be very disappointed, and while many JSA members appear, most are relegated to non-speaking parts.
This might be my all-time favorite cartoon series. Other favorites include Jonny Quest, Batman: the Animated Series, The Tick, and Jackie Chan Adventures.

Huh. I read Crisis as it was coming out, but I didn't remember that aspect.Shellhead wrote: After DC rebooted their continuity with Crisis on Infinite Earths, Wonder Woman suddenly had the ability to fly without assistance, retroactive all the way to her origin. The invisible plane lives on in the memories of people who watched the Wonder Woman tv show in the '70s.
I don't think I ever watched the WW tv show, but I definitely remember the jet from the SuperFriends cartoon.

I saw many ads on YouTube yesterday for it. It could benefit from the serial treatment for character development, and based on their advertisements, that seems to be what they are going for.
Still, the movie will be hard to beat and sets a really high bar.

I don't read much king. Besides this and the boogie man, I find not a lot of merit in his writing beyond the overall story itself. He should have stuck to short stories.

That thing he did on the time travel with the JFK assassination was pretty good too. I liked that book a ton.
My favourite stuff of his is probably Eyes of the Dragon, Salem's Lot, and his short stories like The Running Man, The Long Walk, The Mist, The Raft....
you can't really read books after the movie, in my opinion, cuz your imagination won't do anything it's supposed to do. You will visually place things like they are in the movie and you'll just be playing out screencaps as you read. Doesn't work at all the way a book is supposed to. This is why I don't think I should even bother reading the Game of Thrones books at this point.
