Yeah, if the ratings stay around or below 3 million, don't expect a 5th season guys. I don't think FOX will extend it again with those numbers being so low at this point. Which is sad, since this is one of the few shows that is actually deep and interesting and doesn't provide "stupid" entertainment as I like to call it these days.

Fringe?s numbers, lastly, live in two worlds: Returning to 3.53 million total viewers and a 1.5 demo rating, there is one universe where the show was down 30 percent from its year-ago premiere. Yet in another universe, those numbers represent increases of 7 and 25 percent from where it left off with its May finale.

Hasn't Fox stated that Fringe is big in the DVR ratings?

I personally think this is the last season for the show anyway, I read somewhere that the series finale has already been written.

I'd rather they end it on a good note with a satisfying ending anyway.

I like the episode but I found some parts a bit confusing. It seemed as though

Fringe division didn't exist anymore in the main universe. About halfway through the episode, Olivia explains to Lee why they can't return the bodies of Fringe-related victims. She said that they'd have to file official documentation which would draw the attention of Fringe division. At first, it seemed as though she was referring to just one Fringe division: the one from the other side.

She means that the document filing would draw attention to the fringe division. The public does not know the fringe division even exists.

Fringe star Anna Torv has supported the notion that the show should end after five years.

Torv's co-star John Noble recently admitted that he expects the Fox sci-fi drama to conclude after a fifth season.

"People have been quoting [series co-creator] JJ [Abrams] for a while saying [that] four or five years is kind of enough," Torv told the Coventry Telegraph. "I tend to agree with him."

The actress added that she has no desire to "run [the series] into the ground".

"If you're doing a straight-up procedural series, I think you can go on, because you've got so many stand-alone episodes," she explained. "Whereas with our show it certainly feels like it's picked up the pace as well."

Torv also admitted that she is uncertain about the likelihood of a Fringe spinoff film, suggesting that the show would not work on the big screen.

"I feel like it's so intricate, it feels like an epic story now," she said. "I don't think it would be a very good film."

There's no reason to draw this type of show out, really we just need to work out this bit with Peter and then it should be over. I honestly don't see why they should do more once the problems with the other side are worked out and the holes are closed/fixed. All of which can happen in this season.

There's a lot more to the show than the other side. They could explain things like who the observers are and why fringe events are occurring. I think the show could continue for at least another season.

Some things are better left unexplained, the observers are one of those things that will probably never be fully explained, and there's no real reason to do so either. Fringe events are going on because of Walter ripping holes to the other side and other experiments he and Bell did in the past, that's all pretty clear right now, I don't see what more we need to know exactly.

    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval by David Uzondu Image via @realDonalTrump (X) As OpenAI prepares the release of its next model, GPT 5.6, the White House has instructed the company to limit the distribution of the software to a small group of government-approved partners instead of the general public, as it has done with previous releases. According to The Information, OpenAI Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman sent an internal memo to staff on Thursday explaining that the federal government will approve access "customer by customer" during an initial preview phase. Altman noted in the communication that this restrictive rollout is "not [their] long-term model" for software deployment, and the company plans to work toward a "more sustainable" distribution method later. CNN said that both OpenAI and the Trump administration view the capabilities of GPT 5.6 on the same level as Anthropic's Mythos and that government officials intend to "collaborate with frontier AI labs to develop shared approaches for addressing the challenges of scaling this technology." The latest restriction comes just weeks after the US Commerce Department decided to restrict Fable, a version of Mythos with extra safety "guardrails" to prevent users from exploiting software vulnerabilities. Not long after the release, though, researchers at Amazon found a way to bypass these restrictions, prompting an aggressive response from federal authorities. The government ordered Anthropic to cut off access for non-US citizens located outside the US, non-US citizens living inside the US, and incredibly, even Anthropic's own foreign-born employees. Anthropic now appears to be building a workaround to resolve this compliance block with an update to its Privacy Policy that introduces a category called "Verification Data" to handle KYC and Digital IDs. This setup could mandate digital identity checks to filter users by nationality, requiring a government-issued ID and facial biometric data. Who knows? Maybe in the future, you would have to scan your US Passport or State ID to prove your citizenship before you are allowed to chat with Fable 5 (or any other model).
