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.

    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      Looks like the 7.1 is fake effects, can it at least do real 5.1? It says 'virtual 7.1' in all descriptions.

      You can't, if you didn't notice, it doesn't support surround at all, it's right in the spec list.

      Hi — I’m always interested in soundcards. Like displays, I just want to know I’m getting as much clean “sonic juice” into my brain as possible as the years take their toll. I’m not entirely sure what to take away from this review, though. It doesn’t really tell me whether the AE‑X is a good product or who it’s actually for. Most of what I’m getting is: there’s a driver to install, here’s what it looks like, and here’s what’s in the box. There’s a lot of emphasis on the SPDIF input. When you mention not needing to switch headphones between console and PC — does that mean the PC has to be powered on just to pass audio through? That seems like a fairly big waste of energy. Is this more something a streamer would use alongside a capture card? How are you testing the sound? (Also, you might want to clarify that you’re using the headphones in wired mode when you mention they’re wireless.) You mention the lack of EMI shielding — how much real‑world difference does that make compared with typical motherboard audio? On multi‑channel: what exactly isn’t supported? Does this mean Windows spatial audio (Dolby Atmos for Headphones, DTS Headphone:X, etc.) won’t work, or just that the card itself doesn’t decode surround formats? And are there any true multi‑driver “surround” headphones left that would even use that? You also highlight support for high‑impedance headphones — but what does that translate to in practice? How does it compare to driving the same headphones from a normal device, and does it make any difference for everyday, lower‑impedance models? In short, who is this card actually targeted at?

      Yes, THIS is wordart, not the styling that can now be done. Wordart was all about those curvy words, that you could change the path of, like making words go around a circle. I don't think it can be done now, right?
