"Read with general interest" is probably closer to the truth
Only certain people can pull off the bald look. You've gotta have a proper shaped skull for one. Beards seem to help too for some reason. And don't forget, now the world of hats has fully opened up to you.
Fringe looked pretty interesting when it started but I only watched the first episode and then forgot about it. The hype for this season is making it look pretty interesting again though, maybe I'll have to go back and watch the first season and catch up. It seems like the kind of show I'd like.
