Fringe Season 1 discussion

So far I also say its too soon to start judging the show. These are fairly new actors and they definitely have potential. The story wasn't bad and it overall suprised me how "big budgeted" it looked. Picture quality was by far amazing, that was the first thing that struck me. It's definitely a show I'll stay interested in for a while. It could start off alot like lost. In my opinion, lost's first episode wasnt the best, but it got a LOT better from there.

Really? I thought the PQ was sort of subpar. A little too grainy for my tastes, but I realize I'm in the minority when it comes to not liking an overly noticeable amount of grain. I don't mind a little bit of grain at all, but this was sort of interefering to me. The show itself was ok... I'm not sure I'll stick with it. I'll give ti a few more episodes.

yeah. but me, on the other hand, i cant stand shows that look so clean, i think it almost looks "less hd" to me. i dunno why it just does. the more grain the more sharpness. its the same with lost too.

I don't mind some grain. For example, Xmen 3 has a fine coating of grain all throughout due to being filmed on Super35mm... it doesn't look bad to me at all even with a thin film of grain throughout the entire film; it even enhances the film-like look. Fringe to me, though, had an excessive amount of grain that almost interfered with my enjoyment. I even felt the urge to cut my Noise Reduction setting on my Sammy to high, when I usually leave it off, and even then I still noticed a fine amount of grain, though it was less intrusive.

I guess to each his own.

Same for me...especially the scene in the beginning when the two FBI agents are in what I think was a hotel room...so much grain...I even saw white patches of it too.
