dunno why people canāt accept I like fringe more. x-files was a seminal show, but was really hit and miss, with a lot more miss. fringe was consistently great (except for the last season where the concept was a bit rubbish, but the ending was good), stronger emotional core (walter and pacey) than the x-files (no one really cares about mulders sister, we have never met her), kept things fresh with each season going off on its own tangent. overall a much more satisfying series as a whole
