I've said it before I'll say it again.

This is why John Steward and The Daily show have swept their spot in the Emmy's 8 years in a fucking row! Nobody does it like Stewart!

This scene here... is Emmy material right there.

Yeah, it's not that I have a problem with unrealistic things...it's the degree to which they seem to pass things off as possible or realistic. Obviously it's a subjective judgement on my part, but, for example, look at Star Wars. I think it's very obvious that it's more science fantasy than science fiction. They don't care to tell you how hyperdrives work, or where lightsabers come from, etc. With Fringe, I just feel like they're trying too hard to explain the technology and make it seem real when it's clearly not.

I wish I had a good example off the top of my head to illustrate what I mean, but it's been a while since the show's last season ended. Basically, I'm willing to accept the alternate universe thing, but I don't need details beyond that...I don't need some BS explanation about how the portals work, etc...I think it takes away from the best parts of the show when they fill things in with that stuff.

Take the X-Files...a similar show. Their "explanations" of the crazy shit was always MUCH closer to reality...much more bordering on the possible or the slightly exaggerated. Sure, it wasn't amazing all the time, but I dunno, most of the episodes seemed more plausible. For this reason, I usually prefer to read hard sci-fi, but if I read something that's more fantasy, I want the author to know what he/she's about, not try to pass fantastic stuff off as plausible. Embrace the impossibility of the story, y'know? ...it's fine...people will accept it.

I know my explanation of my gripe is a little lengthy, hopefully you have some sort of attention span.

I definitely agree about the Emmys, and by no means should anyone take my comments as a reason to avoid the show...I love it despite its flaws.

Some spoiler content in this:
I understand that in the end, you're praising the show and the wonderful character that is Walter Bishop, but I've got to question- Your one gripe about a sci-fi show about an alternate universe waging war on us is that it's not very realistic? I just had to ask. Other than that, I couldn't agree more. Nolan is a wonderful actor, and if Fringe was a more popular program, they'd be throwing Emmys his way for his performance. He's had me to the point of tears in some scenes.

Despite all the terrible bunk "science" stuff on Fringe, it's a great show simply because of Walter's interactions with all the other characters.
I'm not usually one to put aside terribly unrealistic stuff, but for this show I gladly make an exception.

I laughed, I cried.
OK- mainly cried.
are you a teen mom too?

Your video, Bristol Palin's emmy worthy performance, has made it into the Top 15 New Videos listing. Congratulations on your achievement. For your contribution you have been awarded 1 Power Point.

Hope he gets an Emmy for this one.

He'll get one anyways.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

Absolutely amazing performance. Hope he gets an Emmy for this one. *quality

This kind of exposé is exactly why The Daily Show has won the Emmy for the late night slot 7 years running and will continue to get the Emmy. Because nobody else comes even CLOSE.

This is what the word "crucifixion" was invented for. Perfect, flawless victory over the entire debacle.

Emmy winning.

That right there is why The Daily Show has won the late night Emmy 7 years in a row. Nobody else goes into that much depth on a subject. Hell almost every other late night show is nothing but cracking a few jokes on 'todays hot topic' and doing a 'bla' interview on an actor that has the same boring questions every single interview.

With The Daily show they go into depth and their interviews are thought provoking and leave watchers thinking and they are not afraid to bust some balls like this. As long as they continue to be this deep and well made they will continue to win that Emmy while every single other late night show looses.

If you ever need to provide proof positive of the utter lack of correlation between Emmy awards and quality...this is it. Save her video, and whip it out on those who think an Emmy somehow indicates a good product.

In short, she's flippin' awful.

She Flipping Won the Emmy!
But not for this one, she won for her other "nominated vieo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sbBmlHGgsgc

Umm... "Gervaze"? Seriously?


Um, yes, seriously. You do pronounce the "S" at the end. Jer-vase, almost like jerkface. Unless you're just saying that someone said the "S" too hard, so it sounded like a "Z," which is being kinda picky.
