Talk:Fringe

This page is my magnum opus, as it were, so HANDS OFF! I'm kidding of course, but I would very much like to do it. --ManiacallyChallenged 11:34, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

Though it is POLITE not to mess with people's pages when they've done 99% of the work, it happens. Just keep in mind IF the changes are good (i.e. correct spellings, added pertinent details, better images, etc.) then don't take it personally. I know it's hard. But on the flip side, you also have the right to UNDO BS additions to your page, like erroneous identifications, sarcastic comments, or people removing information unnecessarily. The end result is to create a page that is not an exercise in self indulgence (unfortunately some of our members do just that), but is a nice, concise, and informative page on the film/show which showcases the weapons information, weapons trivia as it relates to the show, and 'some' movie/show trivia that is peripherally associated with the weapons trivia.

I was kidding, don't worry. I'll try not to post a million billion pictures of the Glock 26, as much as I love it. --ManiacallyChallenged 21:58, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

You did a good job and all, BUT...gun page links go in the body of the text, not the heading. -MT2008

I've seen it done both ways, but I wasn't sure. Thanks. --ManiacallyChallenged 21:58, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, I've had to tell a lot of people to correct their pages...for precisely this reason. I don't want users on this site to think it's acceptable to use gun page links in the heading. -MT2008

In the episode where Agent Dunham is kidnapped and drugged, as she makes her escape, she grabs a pistol from one of the guards she defeats. I paused the video and stared at the image for a long time to try to ID it to no avail. Anyone got a screenshot of that?

I removed the "Observer Pistols" segment, it honestly added nothing to the page. Sorry if it was your personal baby. --ManiacallyChallenged 01:35, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

why not have a segment on the "Observer Pistols" or other high tech guns? Rex095

Mainly because they don't do much in the show, it's hard to tell what they are because they are rarely seen and mocked up, AND nobody has pictures, so why bother with the segment. --ManiacallyChallenged 01:59, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

Sorry for the edit-storm, adding stuff and trying to fix a lot of my previous errors. I added a couple of new Glock 26 shots, and removed some of the worse ones(all the ones I took out were ones I took, so don't worry about it.) Also: created some actor pages, and am working on gun pages. Any input, or images of that suppressed Desert Eagle from S2 episode "August" would be sweet. Thanks. --ManiacallyChallenged 04:51, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

why use a suppressed Desert Eagle? well in the world of the show, there are think that are hard to kill, Rex095

Think about it this way: Anna Torv carries a Glock 26, because a Glock 17 looks massive when she holds it. Likewise, the assassin was a gigantic dude, and anything less than a Desert Eagle would look like a pop-gun when he was holding it, or carrying it in his holster. It was, almost certainly, not a decision about "what gun would work here" but rather "what gun is visually interesting here." --ManiacallyChallenged 20:55, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

True True Rex095. the Desert Eagle is a visually strucking gun.

I wounder what would a be a good handgun for fighting paranormal threats. Rex095

If you ask me, the show does a good job of having bad guys being tough, but not BS invincible. So, a Desert Eagle would be okay-ish. --ManiacallyChallenged 22:25, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

I was thinking a .45 like a Para-Ordnance P-14 or a Heckler & Koch Mark 23, with a .44 Revolver as a back up. Rex095
