   I am still not going to believe that a plane can 'land itself' at a busy   
   airport. That is not what autopilot is all about. It is for in flight   
   use only, that other stuff is pure science fiction.

   I agree even a bad episode of the X-FIles was better than the premiere   
   episode of Fringe. If they spent $10 million on it as they said they did   
   they really wasted the money. CC could have made 10 'great' episodes of   
   the X-FIles wiht that kind of money!

   You are right the actors are not right for the parts. There was not one   
   actor on the show that I could care about the way I cared about DD, and   
   GA on the X-FIles. The Fringe actors were boring, and the dialogue was   
   terrible. Right now I am looking forward to 'The Eleventh Hour'!
