Something decent to watch this summer

Just found this on The Underwire blog on Wired.com: Fringe Pilot Leaks Online Three Months Before Premiere

I'm already downloading the Torrent. This will be a nice compliment to the X-Files summer marathon David and I are having. It will be interesting to compare the two. I wonder if conspiracy-minded FBI agents on TV are more or less paranoid about the government in the 21st century than in the 1990s? How will Fringe contribute to our long history of conspiracy culture in the US? (I must stop thinking about this or I will get even more distracted from dissertation writing!)

UPDATE: I watched the Fringe pilot on a train ride to NYC last week and it was awesome! 1 hour and 20 minutes of scifi/conspiracy/pop culture bliss. I hope the rest of the series is as good as the pilot. If anyone wants a copy just let me know.

Hi Kara, just stumbled on your blog via facebook. I love the random internet findings....gives me something to read other than bar exam review stuff!
