That finale was quite simply magnificent television. Held me throughout and the final shot had me shouting NO! NO! at the tv. A bit over-reacting maybe; but well deserved. How long do we have to wait for S2 now? Nimoy seemed good as a main character and I'm curiious now how they develop things from here.

Like most TV shows, we'll probably have to wait until August or September.

That proves people are stupid. This show deserves greatness. In a related subject; after the Scrubs finale last week which was also really well handled; Lost as the last of the big ones (until 24 next week which i dont hold much hope for) has alot to live up to tonight!

Best season finale I've seen in a while. This episode raised the bar for me. Fringe is now in my top 3 favorite shows running.

Nah, not one of the best SFs, but I prefer A lot of action/suspense myself so I mean yeah it has a couple of mind-tripping/thinking moments...(not saying it's a poor SF by any means) but action/suspense wise I've Seen better!!!

A great series. In the past I criticized it for trying too hard to be the nex X-Files. Now I think that of they continue it this will be bigger than X-Files.

To top/beat X-files, they NEED to amp up the action or suspense factor in season 2! Can't just depend on intelligence/thinking/people talking too much only.

As a Huge X-phile, I can tell you X-files is much more suspenseful than this show is.

Through out the season in some episodes there was some sort of "flair" that would appear on the edge of the screen. It happened in the finally when just Olivia cross over to Bell's reality. So was reality switching for her throughout the season and she didn't know it till the end where she was more perceptive about it?

Good Find I agree! :D

interesting that fringe lost so many viewers between the first half hour and the second half hour... must be the american idol fans changed channel.

Yeah, the average american people tend to think all those sci-fi shows are too complex and confusing, so they call them stupid, AS IF they understand it more, are more intelligent to watch Sci-Fis. :|

How Dumb!

I saw it last night but didn't mention it, there's no 13th floor access from that elevator, at least not according to the floor indicator in the elevator. By the time she would have reached floor 13 is when the she moved through dimensions.

No 13th floor is not that unusual:

OMG! I must say I loved it. Hopefully Prison Break Series Finale will be as good...

I have one question:

So Walter jumped into the alternative dimension, got Peter and jumped back into the normal dimension? What did he lose in the alternative dimension? The end shot is of the alternative dimension right?

Yeah the WTC towers don't exist anymore.

Not sure how this isn't clear or why there's confusion.

Around this time, something was lost to me, Peter. Something precious. I became convinced that ifonly I could cross over myself, then I could take from there what I lost here.

Peter died when he was 6 or 7 (according to the tombstone), this is what Walter lost in our dimension and him visiting his tombstone indicates that he did find a way to cross over, to do exactly what he said he wanted to do, and that the Peter we see is from the other side. How could the ending be our dimension if the twin towers are standing?

Ok so Peter died from a sickness when he was 6-7. Walter found a way to go to the other dimension and get Peter back. Now with the ending, Olivia was in the alternate reality. That's why the elevator stopped at the 13th floor, which doesn't exist in most buildings. So the paper we seen with the Obama's moving into the new whitehouse, and the Twin Towers still standing is what it is like in the alternate reality.

What a great series!!!!! I love it.

I like the brining up of Peter and "how" he died. It is a interesting question. Not sure if he grabbed him from an alternate dimension, since his grave was in this one. Walter could have been from the other dimension and came over to the one he is in now, buried his son, and found his son again in this dimension. Wow...trippy :)

Can't believe who they got to play William Bell..very funny considering Star Trek just came out. :)

You can't believe it?!? They announced it/spoiled it weeks ago for starters :D And I believe Nimoy did voiceover work for a couple episodes to lead into his cameo at the end there also :D You shoulda known it was him for awhile!!!!1111

    • Zed 1.7.2 has landed with updated OpenCode models, bug fixes and other improvements

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Zed 1.7.2 has landed with updated OpenCode models, bug fixes and other improvements by David Uzondu Zed 1.7.2 recently landed on the stable release channel, bringing a host of AI-related features including automatic context compaction and settings-based skill management, along with other things like better Markdown preview rendering and custom git commands in the graph view. Starting with the AI stuff, the developers introduced "/compact", a command that basically summarizes your conversation history on demand. This tool prevents your active chat window from hitting token limits by compressing older parts of the dialogue into a brief overview. In addition to that, the team relocated skill management to the settings UI, improving how the application communicates errors regarding those skills, and updated the OpenCode model roster to support DeepSeek V4 Flash, MiniMax M3, Qwen 3.7 Plus, and Nemotron 3 Ultra Free. External agent users can also monitor context window cost metrics and delete individual sessions directly from their history. Right-clicking ref labels in the git graph now opens a context menu that runs different actions against selected targets, kind of how VS Code does it. Here are some of the bug fixes this new release brings: The active agent fails to auto-select when creating a new git worktree. A scrollbar unexpectedly appears on wrapped code blocks in the agent chat. Collapse indicators for project headers appear when performing sidebar searches. Bracketed ellipsis title prefixes fail to show the ellipsis icon properly. Project icons render incorrectly in the recent projects picker. Diff hunk controls appear inside non-editable commit view multibuffers. The software update button hangs indefinitely on the downloading stage. Restoring an agent terminal in a remote project triggers a sudden crash. Splitting a pane that contains an active commit view causes a crash. Linux Wayland freezes when trying to read the clipboard from laggy external apps. Zed is a "newish" code editor trying to break the massive stronghold VS Code has on the developer community. Funny enough, the editor was created by former GitHub employees who worked on the Atom text editor (which Microsoft killed in 2022, several years after it bought GitHub). The project officially hit version 1.0 back in April, introducing platform parity for Windows and Linux alongside deep support for DeepSeek-V4-Pro.

      26H2 absolutely will support ARM Windows just not on devices that came with 26H1. This is evident by the fact I am running 26H2, which on my MacBook Neo and Surface Pro 12 (inch), within a VM.

      By WrongHead™ · Posted

      It’s amusing how Microsoft is pushing IT admins as if this was a major, game-changing update. In reality, it’s just an enablement package that bumps the build number, which is disappointing compared to the more substantial 22H2 and 24H2 releases. Technically, 25H2, 26H1, and the upcoming 26H2 are essentially the same, differing only in support schedules. They could have included the Windows K2 improvements here, but chose not to. The era of Windows being in the backburner continues, and this 26H2 release feels like an afterthought. Shame, Nadella, shame.
