To play off of their metaphor.. I've been ignoring Fringe's phone calls and emails of late. I think the lust has died down since I realized that I liked it because it reminded me of an old love (X-files).
http://popwatch.ew.com/popwatch/2008/10/dvr-delete-frin.htmlIt's that time of year again. Like a greedy bastard at an all-you-can-eat buffet, I've spent the last six weeks loading up my DVR with more fall TV than I could ever possibly consume. Yesterday, things reached a breaking point when I attempted to set a recording for Animal Planet's *Living With the Wolfman*<http://popwatch.ew.com/popwatch/2008/10/wolfman-living.html> (more on that later) and my DVR swayed its shoulders, put a hand up in my face, and hissed, "Slezak, please! Either you delete some of this junk, or I'm doing it for you!" And because I never, ever want my DVR to be angry with me, I promptly scanned my series-recording list, then grabbed my pad and pen and fired off a couple of "Dear John" letters... Dear *Fringe*, On paper, we were a match made in TV heaven. Your creators were responsible for *Alias*, *Lost*, and *Felicity*…and I love *Alias*, *Lost*, and * Felicity*. You had a cool, *X-Files*-esque premise, andreally nifty title cards <http://popwatch.ew.com/popwatch/2008/09/fringe-title-ca.html>. Your supposed-to-be-a-breakout star (Anna Torv)<http://www.ew.com/ew/gallery/0,,20221152_20221155_20221418_8,00.html> had shiny, pretty hair. But then her acting turned out to be a little leaden. And John Noble's sing-songy, hyper-quirky delivery started working my last nerve. By the time we got to that episode where Joshua Jackson was strapped to a table with brain-monitor-sensors shoved up his nose, and I realized I didn't actually care what happened to him, I knew our affair had all the staying power of *What About Brian*<http://popwatch.ew.com/popwatch/2006/12/spot_inspection.html>. If you're game for it, though, I'm open to the idea of occasional hookups. Any show with a sinister Blair Brown can't be all bad. Ambivalently, Slezak Dear *True Blood*, It's not you, it's the writing. Slezak p.s. Please kill off Ryan Kwanten's character; his abs deserve a better show. -- Jason Carpio [EMAIL PROTECTED] Not sent from an iPhone --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Like TV only smarter.
