I don't know. I've been wondering how Nielsen calculates stuff in the digital age. I use to be an advocate of Nielsen ratings, but with more and more things digital, I think we need a new ratings system. But, I have no clue what it should be and how it would work :p

One thing is for sure, there's too many shows that get canned because of poor ratings. Pushing Daisies, Fringe, Dollhouse, Tera Nova, Dead Like Me, Heroes, etc.

That was a bit ho-hum compared to the last two episodes. It also didn't feel like it was part of a finale.

So they changed Bell's involvement, or lack thereof, when Oliva escaped from the other side. So how did Olivia escape?! Bah.

And Jones' death... What the heck? Fall on wires and you're electrecuted?!

Actually,

fall on wires and hit antenna base => electrocuted. On a side note, noticed how half of him got destroyed/pulverized - it seems there are still traces of the pre-machine-activation universe

And? Surely hitting wires and the antenna base, both of which had no damage and were are already connected and touching, wouldn't electrocute someone. On the off chance that it even could under the right conditions, not do it so easily as happened on the show. The death was so poorly portrayed for someone of such importance, nay, for anyone who was supposed to die by that point in the episode. It lacked any imaginative thought whatsoever.

Wasn't it estabilshed that David Robert Jones DNA is unstable due to all of the teleporting and crossing universes in earlier seasons, Hence his scared appearance and that would account for his desolving once electrocuted?

You're thinking of William Bell. Still, electrocution? From that little fall? Really!?

Deaths on Fringe don't really affect me anymore. They can always bring back characters from the other universe, and alternate universe, or some other anomaly :rofl:.

True :laugh: But I like her character more than Captain Lincoln Lee (who's death I didn't really care about) and the other Astrid :p

What about "Hello old friend". Pretty sure that was taken right from the new Star Trek movie, or maybe just coincidence?

That's been in a lot of movies. I mean Crossing the Streams is just well, you know.... from Ghostbusters. It can't be from anywhere else. lol.

wtf is that voice saying right at the end?

According to one of the YouTube comments, the voice says "It is impossible." backwards.

I was genuinely surprised to see that

William Bell was behind it all. I didn't think for once that he'd play the bad guy.

      Too late for a slightly older computer I had that didn't meet the hardware requirements for Windows 11 but had great hardware. I installed ubuntu on that thing and gave to a friend's kid.
