The final ever episode of sci-fi drama Fringe will be simulcast by Sky1 in the UK, it has been confirmed.

UK fans can watch the finale at the same time as the US East Coast, at 1.10am on Saturday, January 19.

After five seasons and 100 episodes, the cult hit reaches its conclusion in the New Year.

Exec producer JH Wyman teased: "It's definitely the biggest season finale we've ever had. It's the most expensive... It's massive, really big.

"I wanted to go out like, 'Wow, how did they do that?'"

The finale, titled 'An Enemy of Fate', will air as a two-hour special, the latter hour serving as the show's 100th episode.

Fringe's finale will also be repeated in its usual UK timeslot on Wednesday, January 23 at 10pm.

The series, which stars Anna Torv, Joshua Jackson and John Noble, was voted the 18th best show of 2012 by Digital Spy's writers.

Sky1 did a similar simulcast for the last ever episode of Lost.

Sky's controller of acquisitions Sarah Wright said: "Fringe has a great, dedicated fanbase amongst our customers and we are thrilled to be able to show them the much-anticipated series finale at the same time as the US broadcast."

I've got a little beef with the "plan". It seems to me that what Donald & Walter have planned will violate the Grandfather paradox. Does anyone else see that being a problem?

You can't go back in time to change something that would negate you going back in time to begin with. For example, let's say two years ago I murdered someone, but in the future I invent a time machine to go back in time to stop myself from murdering that person, it negates the reasons I invented the time machine in the first place, meaning I'd never go back in time to begin with. I can't stop myself. I can't cross my own timeline.

Depends how you perceive time travel.

Going back and changing an event would create an alternate timeline. Like in Back to the Future, Biff giving himself the almanac created a new timeline.

Don't remember ever seeing Back to the Future, but have they stipulated that this would create a new timeline? Has Fringe even had multiverse theory in it? I know there was the alternative universe, but I was under the impression that was the only one that existed in this show?

Riiight, I forgot about that. That's when I started thinking how boring the show was becoming. Thanks for the link!

:blink:

lol I'll put it this way, if I did see it, it was when I was so young I wouldn't remember it.

    • You've tried DuckDuckGo and Brave Search, now get serious with SearXNG

      OK so SearXNG is a meta search engine that you can install locally or use via a public instance. It scrapes other search engines which you choose and then sorts the results. Not as complicated as multiple relays

      The only difference here is that you think you came up with these reasons. You didn't. These age old fearmongering lies (that were NEVER true) were funded by and the anger stoked by Putin through proxies like Farage (and later in the USA, Trump) and filtered down through the skinheads, Neonazis, etc. until it reached the uninformed, ignorant, and gullible -- never realizing they were being played for fools against their own best interests. Even now, despite all of the EVIDENCE proving that Brexit was a terrible mistake for ALL citizens of the UK and that its supporters were tricked by Putin's proxies into sabotaging their own nation, you're still here defending these well-known lies as if they were ever true. Not only are they not true. They NEVER were. So, when are you going to realize that you were lied to and actually get angry at the liars and charlatans who lied to you, instead of blaming the innocent people they lied to you about?

      Ooooh! Two editorial from Paul Hill on the same day! Is it my birthday or something? 😉 Okay, let's see if I get it right. SearXNG develops a meta-search engine app. Individuals install it on their relays. Users connect to these relays to have their own identity-stripping meta-search engine instead of relying on DuckDuckGo. And some of these volunteers have listed their SearXNG instances on SearX.space. That was a lot of wrap my head around. I hope I haven't missed anything.
