Have to say the pilot didn't do a lot for me, but maybe it picks up

there must be some taurus
Tis fair cold out today boys[1] Fair cold. Could even have done with a hat, gloves, and a scarf. Guess it really is October now. And autumn[2] or fall. Whatever, I’m all about embracing[3] the multitude of cultures. So happy Eid-ul-Fitr. And yes, that was yesterday[4] but still. Effort here. And of course happy Rosh Hashanah and welcome to the year 5769[5]
And any and all other religious/important dates, celebrations, holidays and general good days.
Fringe started on de telly last. I watched it, you know, cause of the whole “by the people who brought you Lost” hype. Course that really should have been a warning to avoid[6] shouldn’t it? Anyways, the pilot was okay. Not fantastic, but not terrible, and it has Denethor so I think I’ll watch a few more before I decide one way or the other. It also has Pacey though, so I must dock points for that. But it gets a whole heap of points on account of having Lt. Daniels. He de man!
I know you shouldn’t make total judgements from a pilot, a lot will change, they have the whole set-up and introduction of the characters to get through. But for something supposed to be all about the omg whats happening, it actually seemed a little predictable in its plot.
And have you noticed the way that all the cool shows now seem to have women[7] in the lead roles. As though the makers are saying, you know what, if we have a pretty face[8] up front then the fellas[9] will tune in to watch that. And the women will follow their lead[10] but also be able to identify[11] Which okay, is better than no women on the telly. But a lot of them seem to be used more because other shows are doing it rather than actually creating proper characters. Cause Olivia seems a bit of a tool so far[12] Now maybe it’ll pay off later on, but Show Spoilers ▼
And did you notice that all the other characters with actual roles were men. See, the little woman[13] cannae do anything without help and guidance from the menfolks.
But then again, it has a cow. So we must watch more.
