Anybody watch Fringe?...

Ok so I watched the 90 minute premier last night.

Check it out here-

ehhh...not bad...it's no lost..

basically..it starts off with a flight from "germany" (I think) in which they are going through ain electrical storm. Some guy is freaking out with axiety and gives himself an insulin shot, the minutes later, every passenger on the entire plane's face melts off...

flash forward to boston airport...where the.."plane landed it self"...and they go in wearing HAZMAT suits....where they find a plane full of skeletons...

there's 2 FBI people having a forbidden love affair, who end up on the same case (the plane)

we find out later they burn the plane..to erase chance of "infection"..ok..so we're "kinda buying this so far...
then...
a FBI investigation pairs up a "liason" and a head strong FBI guy who alreadyt has a vendetta against the lead female character for some investigation that laanded his friend in jail..

whatever...so they find a link to these storage units in which the lead female and her lover go investigate...they uncover a slew of lab's in storage units..a chase ensues...the suspect leads them back through the storage facility, and blows it up via cell phone..infecting the FBI angent with some chemical/virus making his skin clear and becoming liquified..

soo..yeah up to now...I'm kinda believing still..but here's where..just goes weird

so...they find some crackpot scientist in a mental hospital..get it so he can get out if his son is with him, they revisit his lab 20 years later, bring a cow in, make LSD, put the girl in a sensory dep tank tripping and wired to the "melting guy" to see if she can read his thoughts for a description of the suspect..

it works, she draws up a face picture..they find out it looks like he was one of the people on the plane..then..omg..he has a twin..who is crazy, killed his brother with these chemicals..was the guy doing lab work...bla bla bla

so then crazy doctor saves the melting fbi guy only to find out that the FBI guy was really in cahoots with the "corperation" (also a member is the woman with a robot arm)...

yeah..it kept going...

basically..this is another attempt @ a "lost" type of following on Fox...but I felt this was too Xfiles related to stick..I will try to keep watching, as they hinted alot toward Mind Reading, Regeneration, Psychokinesis...alot of fun things, all the things which made X-files a great show....

anyone else watch it? I'd love to hear some other opinions.

we shall see
