Re: Spin offs in Print


I may have seen ONE episode of Fringe.  It seemed like an awesome show, but I never got into it.  I'm not a big Sci-fi woman.  However, I loved the Twilight Zone, V and Quantum Leap back in the day!  Y'all remember those shows or am I the oldest student in the room!?  Anyway!

The Fringe book covers suck.  They definitely wouldn't urge me to watch the series if I saw them first.  I came across a couple of Dexter books covers. I'm sure everyone knows, but JUST in case - Dexter is a Showtime series about a cop who is also a cold-blooded KILLER!  I didn't know this show was a book, so this is news to me.  I don't understand the top book cover at all, unless that horrible shirt suggests he's a cop.  The bottom image, I believe will resonate with the viewers more, because this guy IS the face of Dexter as we know it. I love the cold, pale (dead) hand against his warm, much alive, face.  It really illustrates his dual/duel nature.

Sorry I couldn't give more, but if you give me your Netflix login, I'll be sure to catch up on Fringe! :)
