I'm hooked on this show now, thanks to bluesunflower and kathyk. I started with the Season One DVDs, courtesy blue, and then zigzagged my way through Season Two. I'm currently caught up, with only three (I think) eps left in the Season.

I'd love to see a "what will happen" poll, but I can't think of the options right now, so let me just list what I like about the show at this point:

--Good balance of mytharc (super conspiracy-evil corporation, alternate universe), human drama, and Monster of the Week stuff.
--Fun cultural references.
--Lovely quality of staging and filming.
--Characters with both humor and pathos.
--Weird science!!!

Others, please chime in.

You need to be persistent, like the ocean. Little waves of us crashing on the shores of ABC until they gradually wear down.

Here comes Peter Cottontail, hopin' down the bunny trail, hippity hopity Easter was on its way...

Y'know, it really irks me whenever Walter calls him "son". Parents have cutesy nicknames for their kids, and I would love it if Peter's was Rabbit or something. Not only because I think it's more realistic, but also because it'd probably bug the hell out of him.

Do it, froz! Watch it with us Thursday, at 9 pm Pacific and chat at tinychat, which I realize is when you're fast asleep of course...

Get up extra early! I used to do that for World Cup back when it was in Italy in...wow, was it 1990?

Aww Blue thanks for the promos ;D

I usually prefer watching shows in english because it's a very good way to improve my knowledge of the language (and sometimes the dub really sucks).

Cko, as much as i would like to chat with you, the problem is not the time (i could wake up early every once in a while), but i cannot watch the eps until the day after. But sooner or later i'm gonna catch up with you here at reaperdmv chat

Btw yes, world cup in Italy was in 1990 (already 20 years!)

All major characters have an alternate so i kinda guessed...

Edit: Just watched the finale. Alternate William was killed in a car accident.

Wow. Like I was telling them in chat just now, that guy was such a great speaker and a huge brain, he almost made me understand what he was talking about.

It was a little distracting that he seemed to have taped his mike cord to his neck, though.
