As I mentioned in the original Fringe thread, it should have ended with at Season 4, when Bell disappeared. But at that point, they didn't have enough episodes for syndication, so they ordered 13 more to hit the magic number of "100".
Abrams was only on board at the beginning: It was really Kurtzman and Orci's show but in all honesty, the show was rudderless until about episode 18 of the first season. The show wanted to be X-Files, then a Monster of the Week show, etc. and so on. They were lucky to be renewed after season one. |

I don't think I have ever seen anything of JJ Abrams, wait he did Super 8 which was pretty good. However if this is going to be some sort of prequel bullshit.. then **** it.

MOTW is okay. It kinda has to be, based upon the premise, at least to some extent. In any case, Abrams is directing, but if he's not writing the whole thing, I don't see any reason to be dissatisfied with the choice for him as director. As long as there's no ****ing metachlorients or Jar-Jar, I'll be okay. |

I've heard that it's a female lead in this film, so it makes sense to go with Abrams, I suppose, because of Felicity and Lost. But I'll remain skeptical until I see it. |

I have zero infatuation with Abrams. I just think you're funny.
People value different things, man. It's time to let it go. Last edited by Red Brooklyn; 01-26-2013 at 09:50 AM.. |

Vaughn would have been superb, or Fincher, Cameron, etc..........But overall, Abrams wont be bad. Hes basically a safe choice.

Apparently they is not only going to be a new trilogy, but new stand alone films as well....and Lawerence Kasdan is going to involved in writing them! That is the best Star Wars news yet! (Kasdan is one of the reasons why Empire is so ****ing good).
