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.

    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones

      By ExecutiveFunction404 · Posted

      This got me thinking, would you rather a self driving car prioritise protecting its passengers or everyone else? I'd choose the one that keeps me and my kids safest. At some point, these cars have to make those choices already, don't they? Wonder if we have a way to find out what way they lean.

      The proportion (or number of iterations) has nothing to with this aspect of Copyright I am describing. In short, it doesn't matter how many times the manager tells you to change something or how. Your work product is always YOURS until and unless you then assign that to the person representing the client/company, usually for financial compensation -- either in salary or as a subcontract work for hire payment. if iterations determined copyright, then businesses would have learned to just keep making changes until they could claim they owned the copyright, without having to compensate the artist for their work. And that would be BAD. The only place where the amount of changes does have a role is in how much does a human modify a previous public domain work (from any source) before it is considered fair use or their own work, etc. For example, if a human makes substantial changes to a public domain (re: AI, by definition) work, then they can then claim that derivative work as their own...but NEVER the original version, of course. That's why anyone can make a movie about Dracula, for example, as long as it is based on the public domain novel, but not if they take new ideas from copyrighted movies made afterwards. As one of the people who personally advised the US Copyright Office on their recent ruling on these very issues, be assured that I specifically used the terminology precisely -- though I made it simple enough for laymen to understand it. If I made this confusing by doing so, I apologize. But, to be clear regarding your assumption that I would agree to your second statement that I quoted above -- the answer is NO. If AI does the work, no matter how much "direction" you give it, it cannot be copyrighted. All AI generated content is in the Public Domain and therefore the copyright cannot be assigned to ANYONE, even you -- until and unless substantial modifications are made to it BY A HUMAN BEING (yourself or a contracted artist/writer/etc.) and then that copyright on the derivative work is legally (in writing) transferred to you. This is a critical distinction. And it is important that people, especially AI sloppers, understand this. For example, YouTube is not paying AI slop generators for the copyright, etc. of their AI slop. What YouTube is doing is sharing AD REVENUE for permission to publish your AI slop. Copyright/ownership/rights never come into it. Importantly, that means that anyone can copy any AI slopware on YouTube, etc. and rehost it anywhere they want, even back on YouTube, and there is nothing legal that YouTube can do about it with regards to copyright protections, ownership, DMCA, etc. Anyone is legally free to use any AI slopware in any way they want. When this ruling was pending, I warned Disney legal of all of this before they did their OpenAI deal -- that it would literally dilute their entire IP portfolio forever. They ignored that warning for the PR and stock bump. But that is why, when the ruling came down last year, Disney quickly extricated themselves from that OpenAI deal, even eating the initial upfront fees -- followed closely by OpenAI ending their entire AI video generating business model. They adjusted their PR release dates to make this less obvious to shareholders, of course. Phew. I hope that this clears up the key distinctions for you and anyone reading. If you have any additional questions or even hypotheticals about AI and Copyright, please feel free to ask.
