Excellent first season - never expected it to be this good. I have been a sherlock fan since reading the books as a kid, and liked almost all of the various movie and TV iterations; but this one is really special. the acting and dialogue and sets and lighting and everything is just so well done. the costuming is outstanding - JLM has this "dressed-in-the-dark and you never know what he's gonna look like" look; LL in her tights and short skirts is always just right, and I loved how they made Irene-arty into this pert little Nazi with her brown suit and black belt and armbands
once Tommy saw Ollie and Laurel doing the horizontal bop, I knew he was toast - the only way they could get together is without Tommy.
Why do the writers make laurel looked like a Freakin Fool - running around picking up paper files after hearing the whole place collapse is supreme idiocy (that's idiocy plus sour cream and cheese). I know there was big bucks in creating the physical scenes of the collapse, and they need to give it screen time to justify the cost, but making the Dedicated Public Lawyer into a dimwit ignoramus with a good support bra is So Benny Hill.
Jonny Lee Miller and Lucy Liu both deserve Emmy nominations. The final ten minutes last week were a perfect nomination reel for Jonny; such intensity bubbling on the surface barely restrained, yet perfectly portrayed.
This week was just as good, And the Writers also deserve the nominations for giving these two spectacular characters the material to perform.
shaw and reese working together is like watching ballet - every move is smooth and together; clearing rooms like experienced partners, but are just experienced. would love to see them as partners on a multi epi story arc.
And I love amy acker because she tries so hard to make me hate her,
monica was just the right amount of smokin hot and playful - just the kind of girl for deeks - kensi is just not right for him; if they get together she will figure that out and break his heart. I'd prefer that she break his arm.
I think Kate realizes what a great Man Rick is, and what a great couple they are together - the takeover of his toys, making a great 'rise of the machines' joke is something few couples could do; and the way she casually walked into the room rocking that great lingerie?!? WOW. She knows exactly what she is doing, and she is having fun doing it. she ain't going anywhere; but that doesn't mean she won't take the interview, and maybe create a liaison post or inter-agency team between NYPD and the DOJ
I have every confidence in the show-runners to do it right. having a set number of episodes to finish this excellent series is a gift to a good writer, and lord know, they have good writers on Fringe.
"We definitely know where the series is going to end and how it’s going to end and what we’re saying with the final season. It’s a perfect amount of time to be done right and to be doled out in the right pace. We feel really confident that we can have a satisfying ending for us but also, of course, for our fans and supporters within the timeframe of 13 episodes. I think that’s really what we were hoping for. FOX is so great to deliver, and continues to demonstrate their incredible support."

a real shame this program is cancelled - Nielsen company should stop putting ratings boxes in with teenagers and vidiots. Missing is an excellent adult drama with believable people in exciting scenes with excellent dialogus, great acting and wonderful sets and locations.
too bad there are no idiot boy-crazy teenage daughters in it to boost the ratings; instead there is a mature actress with great chops and excellent action skills.
I'm so depressed.
when Alexis dropped down from the ceiling in that black laser tag catsuit, i screamed out loud laughing. great finish. alla y'all can complain all you want about how you're not getting this or that, or want more this or that; but you are really pissing me off - it's a roller-coaster ride; just climb in and hang on and kwitcher bitchin'
good to know the loyal Hindu followers are keeping us straight on language vs tribe, but come on people, give us Yanks a break - there are hundreds of tribes and hundreds of mother tongues in India. Been there Loved that.
anyway, glad to see J. J. Abrams and Jonathan Nolan using an Indian title and concept for the show - that is indicative of the depth of thought that goes into this show - and it shows. the quality of the stories and the production is excellent. Keep up the good work
this is such a well-scripted show, and the actors are all very good; an excellent bench there. and the locations, lighting, pacing/editing,action scenes are right there with movie quality work. I sure hope ABC keeps this for another season; I am such a huge fan. It seems like each episode gets better.
