'Fringe' could be legendary, 'Lost' better have the ending of all-time to tie up it's loose ends...

Jason Hughes is one of the worst editors in blog history.

And wait'll you see what they've cooked up for the big LOST/FRINGE crossover airing during next year's sweeps!

let's just get Akiva Goldsman out of the loop and I'll be happier - the episode he wrote/directed (bad dreams) was one of the worst of the season, IMHO, which was unfortunate, cause it had some great mythological reveals - but all the banter seemed forced to me, and the non-myth stuff dragged.
Otherwise, I agree, I can't wait to find out what's gonna happen next, and that's the way I've always felt about Lost. as for "Fringe is one of the best hours on television right now, and it could well be poised to be one of the all-time greats!", well... i agree with the first half, and i guess i hope for the second half, but seems a bit of a stretch right now. A+ for enthusiasm though!

TOM: Fringe can only be judged one of the ebest hours on television when compared only to Knight Rider.

Uh...yeah. That statement is ridiculous. Fringe owes much to the X-Files in concept, true, but it has introduced it's own unique set of characters and a rich universe. It allows for mythology and monster of the week, just like the X-files, but to say it is only better than something like Knight Rider? Ridiculous.

There is a whole cable channel full of material on Sci-Fi that Fringe is light years above. Fringe appears to be everything X-Files promised to be, but never achieved.

I have watched Fringe and Sarah Connor. I like both shows. Frankly, I haven't had to struggle to get through any episode of Fringe. Each episode stands on it own as an exciting hour of television.

Sarah Connor, on the other hand, has been uneven at best, showing promise, but only really becoming memorable towands the two season finales.

I'm sorry Sarah Connor won't be back, but that doesn't mean Fringe is a sub-par show. It has the potential to be one of the great sci-fi shows even given enough time. Even it doesn't, the first season rocked and it will live on for years to come.

I agree with Michael. At this point, Lost and Fringe are the two shows I find most interesting and cannot wait to learn more about the overall plot/conspiracy/mystery. Mysterious island, Jacob, Richard Alpert, the Others, Widmore, the numbers... "The Pattern", Walter Bishop, his mysterious son, William Bell, ZFT, Massive Dynamic, Mr. Jones, Olivia, the Observer, war against multidimensional beings.

What is more enthralling than these two shows? The fact that more people are interested in which talentless hack will win a rigged singing contest really drives home the sad state of affairs in which we find ourselves.

Having an overarching conspiracy that makes no sense is pretty much the opposite of great.

See exhibit a: Lost, and how much it's gone downhill since the first season, which was the only good one.

Fox has been delinquent in providing a smooth schedule so that viewers could stay hooked on the show. Regardless, this is still one of the better shows on TV. It is best when it addresses the conspiracy and mythology of the show, rather than focusing on the procedural/monster of the week part of the show. Don't get me wrong, that sort of stuff is cute. But the real meat of the show is the "Unwilling Soldiers for the upcoming war."

I enjoy both shows, but honestly, Fringe waited too long to get me hooked. There were a lot of tantalizing scenes all throughout the first season, but it wasn't until the most recent episode that they really stepped up their game.

Lost had me with the freaking first episode.

I hope Fringe really makes for a wham-bam finale because its what they're going to need to get people to come back next season.

Jason, dude, calm down. Have you not watched very much TV?

I enjoy "Fringe" but lets not go nuts - it's not in the same league as "Lost".

Unless they screw it up in the final season (cough* BSG) "Lost" will be a true classic, "Fringe" strikes me more of an updated "X-Files" which I sure is how JJ pitched the show to Fox.
