I agree fringe is really good and it got an amazing cast ensemble...But i'll take X-files over fringe anyday,X-files was fuckin good.. This comparison is like Saying which is better Buffy,The vampire slayer or The vampire diaries which we all know Buffy was and is better... I really like fringe but i'll take x-files 1 Like |

Love both series. The X-Files is in the hall of fame and it will take an amazing series to overtake its level. Fringe started off really good and subsequent seasons have shown promise but I have grown less and less patient with the writers. They are screwing up what could've been an amazing storyline. There are less 'cliffhangers' now than before and more 'filler-episodes' to buy time before getting into the meat of the series. Plus they introduced (a while ago now) a few threads/stories that they never followed up on... loose ends. Can't say anything bad about the cast though - they are great! From Olivia to crazy Walter to quirky Astrid to dashing Broyles and loveable Peter. The acting is top notch and I think is a major reason the show still has many loyal followers. But they must pick up the slack quick & soon or else Fringe may soon be cut . |

JeSoul: Love both series.true talk on dat abouh them going off Bar and x-filez being on a league of itz own,buh Fringe itz getting back on track(season4)...fringe is trying to modernize x-files(paranormal activities)..and it takez alot unto the series(x-files) they try to build upon waz in a world of Itz own...NB:FOX wanna treat Fringe lyk 24..(cuz itz their main xport for now)so it will take alot to just cut 'em off |

@kingsilly, you said fringe is fox major show or export and they can't cut it of...i hope you know fringe was renewed for a season4 at the last minute...It's a very good show and true the writing has been inconsistent lately...and even i hope you to know that ratings are what determine the fate of shows,how good it is only help pull viewers and that even depends on the timeslot and the competition in that slot from other networks... Fringe is still good but again X-files is cult 1 Like |

kingsilly: We both know x-files and fringe are one of the most viewed paranormal tv-series..which is/was more crazy and intresting to watch..watz ur take...??me stay glue to FRINGE THOU Haba! How is this even a question?!! X-FILES reigned and will always reigns supreme. All other Sci-fi shows owe their existence to X-Files. Please, tell me you don't think of the X-Files when you see people holding their torches? Tell me X-Files does not jump to mind when you see people in long overcoats running through headstones! Don't tell me X-Files isn't the first thing that crosses your mind when you hear the words CONS-PI-RACY!!!! Tell me your goddamn skin does crawl with anticipation when you hear this... [flash=420,315] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JDZBgHBHQT8?version=3&hl=en_US[/flash] So many shows have tried to reacreate the MULDER and SCULLY chemistry. . .sadly, these imitations fall short. Every Sci-Fi fan ought to bow down and worship at the alter of THE X-FILES because it is the Alpha and Omega of all Sci-Fi shows. All born agains, hold your peace. . .I ain't blaspheming. 1 Like |

@SiSi_kill i see uve done ur hmework well..i will take Fringe ova X-files cuz The mysteries seem more solvable. Of course, there are unanswered questions at the end of every episode. But they’re not too stupid to beggar belief. The characters don’t take themselves too seriously. There’s Agent Olivia Dunham (Anna Torv), who heads up the investigations. Peter Bishop (Joshua Jackson), the wise- cracking slack genius who helps her by taking care of his father, Dr. Walter Bishop (John Noble), who is completely insane. I mean really, Mulder did all that pouting and screaming and what did it get him? Nothing. is worth watching just for Noble. His characterization of Bishop, the mad scientist at the heart of the show, is at turns brilliant, exasperating, hysterical and tragic. It’s the best of The X- Files in one man. |

Sex kills? Hmmm. . .I don't know about that but that's a story for another day. Dude. . .I watch fringe, I like fringe but there is no denying majority of the episodes have their roots in the X-Files. Show me an episode of Fringe and I'll show you what episode of the X-Files it is based on. Fringe people can't even say with a straight face they don't owe The X Files. . .heck the show paid homage to The X-Files on their second season premier. In short. . .Respect is da word. Another show that always pays homage to X-Files is Supernatural. . .they don't even make any bones that they consider X-FILES their grand dadddy. You can also add Bones. . .the TV show to the list of Homage payers. 1 Like |

I need u not to locate the x-files i do dat buh who xplain it more is wat am out for. Rapid Aging Fringe: Episode 1.02 – “The Same Old Story” The X-Files: Episode 2.19 – “DØd Kalm” The Plot:Anyway, both episodes deal with premature, rapid aging. On Fringe, that meant a woman gets pregnant, and mere hours later, gives birth to a baby who immediately grows old and dies. On The X- Files, a Navy ship in the Norwegian Sea is suffering from premature aging, as the whole crew quickly grows old, and yes, dies. The Explanation: Here’s where the two shows differ. On Fringe, it’s a killer who steals people’s pituitary glands to keep his own rapid aging in check. On The X- Files, there’s a high level of free radicals in the sea water. Yeah, we didn’t buy that, either. The Verdict: Fringe wins this one, just for having a slightly less stupid explanation. Fringe: Episode 1.03 – “The Ghost Network” The X-Files: I Want To Believe The Plot: On Fringe, a deeply religious man thinks the Devil is sending him visions of horrible events, right before they happen. In the second..X- Files movie, a pedophile priest thinks God is sending him visions of horrible events, long after they happened. The Explanation: Turns out, the dude on Fringe was just picking up radio signals from science terrorists, after Walter Bishop messed with his brain years ago. Over in Mulder and Scully land, the priest is having visions because he’s linked to a severed head or something. The Verdict: Man, that X-Files movie was just no good. Fringe wins. Ancient Ice Worms Fringe: Episode 2.12 – “What Lies Below” The X-Files: Episode 1.07 – “Ice” The Plot: On Fringe, oil drillers accidentally unearth an ancient parasitic ice worm that can control people’s minds, forcing them to spread by exploding a blood mist everywhere. On The X- Files, basically the same thing happens, minus the blood mist. The Explanation: I mean... ancient parasitic worms? No twists here. The Verdict: Though both episodes are very good, “Ice” is one of the best X-Files hours ever, perfectly channeling – but not ripping off – Fringe: Episode 1.10 – “Safe” The X-Files: Episode 6.17 – “Trevor” The Plot: Over in Fringe-ville, a bank robbery goes down without setting off any alarms or opening any doors. In X-Files- land, a man escapes from jail, somehow, slips his cuffs later and bullets seem to pass through him. In both cases, the crime is discovered when a body is left, split completely in half. The Explanation: The Fringe squad discovers the robbers are able to move through walls by using a high frequency vibration. Mulder and Scully, on the other hand, think it has something to do with a magical tornado. The Verdict: Magical tornado? Fringe wins this round. Inbreeding Fringe: Episode 2.02 – “Night of Desirable Objects”/Episode 2.11 – “Johari Window” The X-Files: Episode 4.3 – “Home” The Plot: We’ll just come out and say it: the two Fringe eps are basically the one X-Files ep split in two. In The X-Files, our team discovers a horribly mutated child, and after investigating a mysterious house, uncover a whole family of inbred people. On Fringe, a horribly mutated child is found (“Johari Window”); in “Night of Desirable Objects,” they investigate a mysterious house, discovering a whole family of inbred people. The latter episode even includes visual shout outs to the seminal X-Files episode. The Explanation: I mean, inbreeding for “Home” and “Night of Desirable Objects.” “Johari Window” creates a twist: the whole town is mutated by radiation, but is using a radio signal to mask their appearance. The Verdict:YOU CHOOSE |
