Really liking the use of the set, they can actually move now ;) Just hope some other shows start being more flexible.

Phew, show is still good :)
My only complaint is that things feel a little rushed.
Also: I hope this isn't the last we've seen of the Fringe, I liked Heahter learning archery and playing with bees.

i watched the first episode when it first came out with jessica and was totally confused by it, sarah explained that the science part didnt go with the program so was cut, so why did they put that in the first place?
looking at it again, i dont really get what that back scenery is, it looks like a blanket, no offence ,i like sarah, but who is this scenery designer?
cutting the show down made it a little easier to watch, yes, the changes are what seems like another show "the digg reel", i'll just wait and see how everything irons out.

What about Dr. Kiki! I loved the science bits. Was one of the main reasons I watched actually. I hope that's not lost forever..

Well, there's one good thing about the new format, more Moujan. :D
(probably the only reason I'll keep watching)
Also, wrt Heath Ledger's legacy, at least he had a better final movie role than Raul Julia.

They're hoping to get Kiki into her own show, but she's on still on This Week in Science every week and semi-regularly on This Week in Media
