Yeah same:)
I have like obsessions where all i will do is watch one tv program, read a series of books over and over again etc.
Fringe has been mine for quite a while now (like from the end of season 2 to about 10 episodes into season 3 then from the last few episodes of season 3 till now)

Feels like i have been watching it foreveer though:)
I first started watching at the start of season 2 (3rd episode) back in octoberish 2009- lol i would have been a 11 year old in my first month at highschool.
Now i am 14 and find 11 years olds really annoying:)
But i still like fringe:)

Completly the same with me!
First I was obssesed with some book, than with Alien (movie), dinosaurs, birds, insects, photography, and now Fringe (there were others, those are the most recent). I become obsesed with that subject, so obsesed, that I could quote the entire Alien movie line by line. All four of them. Some people think that that is a mild form of autism, which would fit with my asocial personality, but I generaly refuse to believe them.
And I became a hard-core Fringie in the second half of season 3.

I suspect everyone falls somewhere on the autism scale, so it’s nothing to worry about. On another matter – what did you think of Prometheus?

Well, it wasn’t nearly as good as Alien. It had a bit too much mythology elements, so it seemed a bit … overloaded. It was sometimes hard to follow the story. I think the cast mostly did a very good job, Noomi Rapace’s Elizabth Shaw was generaly well played, however at a few ocasions it lacked the charisma that Weaver’s Ellen Ripley had. Prometheus very clearly set the basic for the further movies. It posed mostly questions, and not answers. I think that Micheal Fassenberger did a fantastic job in the role of David, it surpised me, that he was very diferent from the previous Androids in the Alien movies (Ash, Bishop, Call), and was more similiar to robots in Blade Runner. The Peter Weyland story seemed a bit forced. I think that photography and special effects ware fantastic, because H.R. Griger’s creations are always fantastic.
It is a good movie, but it didn’t realy convinced me. But still, it had beacons and mysterious black fluid, not to mention fast-paced pregnancy and creepy parasites, ancient technology, aliens and androids.
To put in a Fringe language, it was sort of like a micture of The Arrival, Unleashed, Bloodline, What Lies Below, There’s More Than One Of Everything, 6955 kHz, Snakehead, Eathling and Do Shapeshifters Dream Of Electric Sheep? put togheter in a Season 4 stile.

Thanks. I think you might agree, as I did, with this article about it:
http://www.counterpunch.org/2012/06/18/prometheus-the-tea-party-in-space/
I confess I disliked it rather a kot, when I wasn’t giggling over the Von Daniken homages!
If you have to combine bronze age religion with the technological modern age, I think Pratchett and Gaiman do it best!

I guess you and me are pretty similar then cortexiphan kid
Although i always pictured you a bit older (16 maybe, i guess theres not that much difference)
Yeah and i get pretty bad obsessions too- i remember once when i was about ten i read the artemis fowl books (i think there was like 6 of them) cover to cover 3 times in a week and i can recite the lyrics of every coldplay song, what album its on, what its track position is, what year it came out etc. etc.
Its probably a bit weird and sad to be so obsessed by stuff but if i try to do something else i’ll get bored after anout ten minutes:)

Totally and utterly unrelated to this topic, but I figured that as this is the most latest article, this is more likely to get seen.
Was Peter wearing a wedding ring in 4.19 (i.e. did him and Olivia eventually marry?).
I would love to see them marry. I have found a lovely song that I would like to make a Fringe video to, and for the opening lyric I’d like to use Olivia walking down the aisle.

I watched the final scene of 4.19 on youtube and i don’t think he’s wearing one, although you dont really get a clear shot of his right hand so i could have missed it:)
I don’t think they are the most weddingy type anyway:)
What song is it???:)

The song is Lights (Max Gordon Remix) by Ellie Goulding.
I think the opening line would be wonderful if they got a good shot of Olivia walking down the aisle.

When you marry the ring goes on the ring finger on the left hand.
Peter had a wedding ring on his *left* hand when he hugged his daughter, Etta.
