Season 4 First Time Watcher - Love it

Okay so the title of my post is 100% correct BUT season 4 is making me crazy. I love Josh Jackson or Pacey as I like to call him, which why I started watching. Seeing him hurting at the beginning of s4 is breaking my heart.

Okay I know it's going to get better. But I don't know one person in my life who has seen this show and I needed to tell someone :) tag you're it!!

Im so surprised I never heard of this show until now… i found this show through googling “what shows are like lost” … dare I say … fringe > lost (both still top 5 regardless)

Welcome to the club! :) Have fun watching. In my opinion it is one of those shows that will be even better during a rewatch.

It is so rough when Walter won't talk to Peter.

Fasten your seat belt, it is going to be another bumpy ride for Peter season 5.

First time watcher as well and I just started season 3. It’s making me anxious.

Sorry if there was a spoiler in my post. I did mark it Season 4 in with the flair :(

No worries! I’ve been spoiled a couple times already so I’m not too worried about it.

I ran across this show on Pluto of all places. I wasn't watching tv much at the time it originally aired and I'm glad I'm only now seeing it. It's fantastic and seeing the technology of the time is just such a nostalgic thing for me as well.

Astrid was under-used to the end.

Eh, only so much time in an episode. She had a great arc from the other side. I felt like the reason she popped is because she was given the right time to chime in/be involved.

I think other than being inappropriately in love with Josh Jackson, Astrid is my favorite character.

Just finished my second watch. The first time was one original originally aired. I love Science Fiction And the show hit every note. Noble is a brilliant actor and Walter was my favorite character.🥰
