okay, it seems that this thread is way off topic. It is supposed to be about the show "fringe".
Hi, ecks-i. You are brand new to this forum. Did you arrive here just because you did a search for "The Fringe"? If so, the Cassiopaean Forum is not like an Ain't It Cool site thread that focuses expressly on whether or not members like a TV show or film. It is much more.
Forum members here were merely pointing out how TV, in this case: "The Fringe", can oft times emotionally affect
and program the viewer to accept a certain point-of-view, be desensitized or become more frightened...much like 3D and 4D STS forces might affect the populace with plans to foment chaos and violence so that they can feed off the negative (fear, discomfort, disinfo/lies) energy produced.
Bringing up the idea of Nephilum possibly being a symbol or an actual download within police/military forces here on the Big Blue Marble...or that TV shows can leak out a bit of truth signal within the negative noise is not going off topic...at least within the framework of this forum.

anyway, i have watched every episode. some twice. i would have to say that it is probably the best non-"lost" sci fi (NOT syfy) on tv right now.
Have to agree with Anart in that it appears that you identify strongly with this show and are uncomfortable with anyone who doesn't think as you do about it.

anyone who was a fan of the x-files would most likely enjoy it.
I personally enjoyed "The X-files"...and yet I didn't enjoy watching the first few episodes of "The Fringe". Only reason I watched was because I know someone involved in production.

yep, it's violent, but it's just a tv show. it's not real. chill.
Well, "The X-files" had its moments, yet it never was as gory or filled-to-the-brim with sharp audio, fear-inducing music and sfx as "The Fringe".
BTW - I work in the entertainment industry, so I know a little about the technical differences between reality and fantasy. (So do many fans who have read up on or studied the techniques.)
Within the TV and film industry, the end result is to make any fantasy as real and/or emotionally-charged as possible. To say it's just a TV show and it's not real doesn't negate that it doesn't negatively affect a great many people in a subtle or not-so-subtle way.

i have personally analyzed this show in great detail, to the point of near delusion.
Again, you are new here, so you may not be entirely familiar with this forum's goals. Using the term 'to the point of delusion' is not what we're aiming for.
UPDATE: Should have read ecks-i's previous activity before I replied to his posts, to get a better idea of where he's actually coming from. Looks like ecks-i is here to teach us his way of thinking, and not to learn objectivity via a network. Blatantly ignoring rules because one doesn't agree with them and attempting to rearrange the furniture in someone else's joint is unacceptable behavior on this forum.
