The shifting back and forth between dimensions has turned me off.
Really liked the show when they investigated really weird stuff.
Involving the main characters in the plot is a turnoff to me.
X-Files did the same and I lost interest in that one also.
IMHO it shows the writers groping for a story line. Beginning of the end.
I’ve lost interest in Fringe.
It took a while for me to get used to it. I always watch on DVR later so I can rewind if need be, and also skip the commercial breaks. I found that helped in the continuity.
I used to really like the X-Files, my son bought me the first couple of seasons on DVD and I am looking forward to re-watching them when I get some more time.
BTW, Fringe has investigated some pretty weird stuff this season as well!
