So.... My question is, in that youtube video, JJ talks about having Nemoy being part of the show. Am I reading to much into it, when I think he is saying he could be in more episodes, as in he is joining the cast?

Well the character he is playing is a massive part of the mythology of the show so I wouldn't be surprised if its a revolving guest spot.

That was awesome.

Walter must have found a way to cross over because what he lost a long time ago was Peter when he was 7. So the Peter we see is from the other side.

I'm also curious to see if the show ever introduces more sides, a bit like Sliders did back in the 90s where there were thousands of alternate dimensions. I only see it going that route if the show begins losing its touch, but I'm hope that that won't happen.

That was one epic episode. Wow. As soon as I saw Walter in the cemetary with that coin, it clicked for me - putting the all the pieces together. And when I recognized the twin towers in that last scene, my jaw was on the floor.

Thankfully, we don't have to wait until Jan. for more episodes, unlike another incredible TV show *cough*LOST*cough*.

I thought that Abrams, Orci, and Kurtzman already fudged my mind with alternate realities in the cinema this past weekend, but they managed to do it on TV, and do it well.

I wonder if the newspaper with Obama on frontpage was from the alternate world or was taken from the "real" (this) world when William Bell left a few months back. I think the latter makes sense as opposed to the former, as events such as 9/11 paved way for Obama (lets face it, Kerry or someother Democrat would have beat Bush in 2004 if 9/11 didn't happen). In other words, if 9/11 didn't happen (which we assume from the two towers still standing), Obama would not be our president in 2009. Obviously little things like this in an alternate world have major consequences, despite Walter emphasizing that the alternate world was only slightly different (which I disagree with, since any minor incident leads to major consequences in the long term). If we are to believe that despite minor differences in the alternate world, major events are still in contact, then the universe must possess a property of cosmic destinies, but destinies are not scientific (unless one is to believe in a superior force - but even most supposed God-believes of today don't follow the idea of destiny).

I also assume that the timeline between this world and the alternate world(s) are synchronized, it is just that Walter had to enter a slightly alternative world to capture Peter and bring back to the "real" world. It would be wicked if Peter went to the alternate world and found some old articles of a boy being suspected of kidnapping, only to find out that it is himself!

Another question! Why didn't Walter keep his wife? Was she dying from a genetic disease that cannot be "cured" (that is no matter what alternate world Walter entered, his wife was doomed from a cosmically ordained event, like the supernova in Star Trek?)

I felt the pacing for this finale was way, way off. Not saying I didn't enjoy it, but there were parts were I was literally bored. Did they really need to give Peter a random monologue? It's as if he was so completely useless that they felt the need to give him something to do. Also, the mystery of Walter's disappearance was extremely weak and his time spent was disappointing.

It also was way, way anti-climatic after that bandage dude was stopped. I liked the idea that Peter isn't this dimension's Peter, but showing this either right before his odd monologue or right afterwards would have been way more effective.

So, far the only finale that has really wowed me was Terminator: SCC. Chuck was decent, too.

    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows

      Normally, I admit when a title is clickbait (unfortunately, it's become somewhat necessary in AI-dominated news sections today), but in this case, all supported versions is implied and doesn't need to be spelled out in the title. Of course, I'm covering a Patch Tuesday update but that is only available to supported Windows SKUs. All our coverage relates to supported Windows software and SKUs only unless we expressly state that it's "unsupported", "unofficial", or "third-party". I'm sorry, but supported/official SKUs don't need to be spelled out as such in every Neowin headline.

      But the reality is it will work for people's needs, and they don't care about the technology that makes it. Clearly not everyone's needs, but that low end space where personal laptops were only used to type emails, watch content and browse websites, but they didn't want to do that on a small screen device. Heck, writing that out I can now see the connection and reason it'll do so well. Apple is about experience. If the experience is bad, they don't release it. Low end Windows laptop manufacturers up until this point have not taken that into consideration ever before, so slow laggy usage with brittle slimey plastic shells were common. I hope that the low end space at least creates better physical products that last a bit longer, and if Microsoft get their act together, they could also have a solid OS on such low end hardware that would actually make the experience work for what the hardware was intended for. The fact that the CPU is a "cellphone", sorry mobile phone processor is irrelevant. It's about the experience, and so far, that sounds quite solid.
