Fox was brilliant and stupid on the same night!

Update: Ok fox, you're forgiven for your glitch - he's safe!

So This morning i jumped out of bed to check CNN and find out how American Idol went, and thankfully things looked good in Adam Lambert land. So i dashed to work with a smile on my face. As the day progresses i find out that Fox - the channel that airs american idol - has fucked up during the show and it went on for 10 minutes longer. This meant that all the american viewers who DVR and TIVO the show missed out on the last performance of Adam Lambert (practically the next American Idol). Now the concern is, how will people vote for someone that they haven't seen perform?

The reason why i'm so passionate about this is coz i really think we are whitnessing the birth of a true star, and i'd hate to see stupid Fox mess that up! And c'omon, they have dress rehearsals and they've been doing this for 8 years, how the hell could the mess it up?

Alas, we'll see what happens tonight - but i'm not too worried because if Adam's in trouble the judges will save him using their one save for the season - let's face it, the "save" was made for him.

And now we get to the stroke of genius that Fox has managed to pull of on the same night. Right after American Idol comes a show called "Fringe" which is by the creator of "Lost"and "Alias".
I love that show because if combines two of my fantasies/dreams/ambitions: It takes place in Harvard University and stars Joshua Jackson (Pacey from Dawson's Creek - remember?) , seriously - it's like a show tailor-made for ME!It's like i don't know what to oogle and drool for - the boy or the school.

The fringe follows a series of events called " The Pattern" - unexplained phenomenons and incidents all linked to fringe science (basically science that has a big IF next to it, like telepathy for example). Each time right before a pattern occurs "The observer" - a bald creepy looking guy who cannot taste food and has looked the same for the last 30 years which makes me think he's a robot - is seen looming around the scene where the pattern occurs.

Last night as American Idol started, the camera focused on Ryan Secrest (the host) as usual, then turned to the audience, and guess who was seated in the first row? "The Observer" looking like he's waiting for another pattern!

I dunno why, but i found that brilliant! It's cool mixing shows up - expecially when a sci-fi thriller like Fringe leaks into reality TV - you get a nice "what the F?!" effect when that happens.

I guess it's needless to say that i'm a TV addict?
