its my favorite show.
taught me alot about science.

I find it to be the most accurate in the portraying of science.

If you apply hard math to any of the "possible theories" shown in fringe, they will all become impossibilities

Really? Fringe is cool and all, but favorite? You don't watch many shows I take it

Face it. Fringe has the best foundation of math and science of any sci-fi program to date.

Now that I think about it... you're right. Go away. Almost-right science is not science. I don't care if every other show basically says "magic is possible".

It isn't "almost-right" - It's valid and accurate 99% of the time when it comes to math and science.

Eh. It's better than Numb3rs.
But I'm sure House is just as annoying if you actually know medicine.

They said the cold virus was a single cell. Viruses aren't cells.

>> No.4448012

>>4448011

I believe the semantics they were using relied on a cell being a description of a set of data. One set of data = One cell = One virus descript.

Doubtful, they compared it to the ostrich egg.

Walter is an interesting character though

Got on my nerves, but then I realized I was playing a game because it's fun, and lets me play doctor without the risk of malpractice.

Except it never really comes to any, so, I GUESS what you said was right.
