It's just the second episode that drops the ball slightly. We shall see! As to "No Heroics", it's possible that at that time of night I was overstating my point of view - possibly more than anything else, comedy is so subjective, and I feel a little unqualified to explain why we liked it, beyond saying that it made us all laugh. Like silly things. Well, the first episode of “Fringe” was exceptional. It’s just the second episode that drops the ball slightly. We shall see!

After thinking about it some more, my biggest problem was that the writers seemed (to me) to start with the superheroes and then bolt (largely unpleasant and unsympathetic) character tics onto them. To work for me, you've got to come at it from the opposite direction. Start with the characters - the super powers should be the last things you add, and they should come out of the characters. I'm looking forward to Fringe, but yours is the third "not quite sure" review I've read. Still, being a massive fan of The X-Files, Alias, and Lost, it's really going to have to try hard to fail.
