I missed it on TV, but I'm watching it right now on Hulu.  Seems vaguely reminiscent of The X-Files...although I'm only about ten minutes in right now. 

Here's the pilot for anyone else interested in watching it.

I watched about an hour of it on and off last night. I was going to try and give it a shot, but since I missed the first half hour I just said I'd give it a try later. So I may watch it on hulu later, but I was disappointed with something I saw in my viewing...don't want to spoil you if you get into the show.

 Hulu is the best thing to happen to television since color TV.

I watched it but wasn't terribly excited...I'll give it 2 or 3 episodes though.

The pilot wasn't quite as exciting as Lost, but the rest of the series looks promising.

It's okay. It's probably the best pilot of the season even though that doesn't say much. I thought some parts were clunky and cliche. The most memorable being when he's talking to the woman in Iraq at that hotel. Nobody talks like that, even if your some crazy action loving guy hanging out in Iraq "running from your past."

Not bad though...

I thought it was pretty good. It wasn't great, but it wasn't bad either. There were a few cheesy moments that made me roll my eyes.

It was good, then it went to really just meh at the middle, but then it got really interesting at the end. I figure I'm going to continue watching Fringe.

By the way, any guesses on what those pre-advertisement icons are? Of the butterfly,apple etc.

Yeah MB, it is very very X-File ish in its overall feel..after seeing the previews after the show ended though, some of it looked even more very X-Files ish..as in its all over the place with the stories and cases and stuff it seems. Only thing I can remotely relate it to..I didn't think the pilot was amazing, but interesting enough I'd say that I'm definitely gonna check out the next episode or two to see what I think about the show.
