Tonight is the premier!

We watch Nikita at 8 PM(ET) and Fringe at 9PM. Nikita hasn't restarted yet. We are psyched about Fringe, tho.

We have friends across town that have the same Friday night tradition and we talk on the phone during commercials.

Join us!

We were avid Fringe fans at the beginning but it got to weird once they got into to different deminsions

Hi Doydie.

I can see how it could be confusing. I don't try to figure it out but just enjoy it. Things kind of come to me during the week or from one of the 3 other co-watchers.

Speaking of Watchers, they show up tonight and we are in the future- in the 2020's. <scary face here>.

Enjoy whatever you are doing tonight.

OK, you talked me into it, Ann. I watched Fringe tonight. Didn't understand all that was going on, but liked it.

So tell me what it's all about, so I may follow it better.

I know they are in a different dimension and there's a bad guy behind it all, but why???

[doydie]

In one demension a guy is a good guy, in the other deminsion he is the bad guy. I am sure there is much more to it.

What I liked at first was this relationship between a father and son. They get his Dad out of a mental instution and he gets back to work and he and his Dad work together and they eventually ean to love each other. Then it got weird. Although it was also a little strange the things that guy was allowed to do in his research lab at the university. And the cow?

It's not dimensions it is parallel universes. What happens in one affects the other. There is a Fringe Team to investigate Fringe (unusual) events. The father that Doydie spoke about is a scientist in a basement at Harvard. The cow is there because he is trying to get her to produce chocolate milk. He is brilliant but also childlike in some ways.

The 2 universes found out about each other and developed a way to travel between them to work on projects of mutual benefit.

The Watchers that I mentioned are actually called Observers. They used to be benevolent but are not now- I do not know why.

About the amber: to prevent being fatally harmed people and whole sections of cities are encased in amber. If they are later taken out of amber they can survive.

That's the best I can do at the moment.
