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

      First time clicking on a Sayan Sen article after he started making clickbait, vague headlines recently. Didn't read, just came here to say the headline doesn't look like very cheap, vague clickbait this time. Are you okay?
    • AMD RX 9070 GRE AI, Blender benchmarks vs 9070 XT, 7800XT, Nvidia RTX 5070, 4070

      By IT Cures · Posted

      Good review, and yeah the benchmark breakdown is pretty clear but also a little messy in a good way. It’s kinda interesting to see where the RX 9070 GRE slides in between the 7800 XT and the 9070 XT , especially when it comes to AI tasks and Blender style workloads. The side by side with Nvidia’s RTX 5070 and 4070 makes it feel obvious just how competitive the mid range GPU scene has gotten lately, and that’s great for creators and gamers too since you can pick based on your priorities rather than only chasing one single thing.
    • Firefox 152.0.1

      By James W. · Posted

      That's it. I finally uninstalled Firefox because they often keep pushing buggy updates, only to test them later and make users suffer. No longer is it my alternative browser to Edge. What a waste of energy. Firefox is bad for the environment, just like Chrome (wasting RAM/energy).
    • Microsoft Weekly: new Surface, Windows 11 26H2, and more

      Microsoft Weekly: new Surface, Windows 11 26H2, and more by Taras Buria This week's news recap is here, with Microsoft announcing Windows 11 version 26H2, launching new Surface devices powered by Snapdragon X2 processors, GTA VI preorder date and cover art, fresh Windows 11 preview builds, a quirky phone-sized e-reader with a physical dial, and more. Quick links: Windows 10 and 11 Windows Insider Program Updates are available Reviews are in Gaming news Great deals to check Windows 11 and Windows 10 Here, we talk about everything happening around Microsoft's latest operating system in the Stable channel and preview builds: new features, removed features, controversies, bugs, interesting findings, and more. And, of course, you may find a word or two about older versions. Windows 11 version 26H2 is now official. Alongside Windows 11's new preview builds released this week, Microsoft confirmed version 26H2, which is coming later this year as an enablement package based on the same platform as versions 24H2 and 25H2. A newly published blog post details what IT admins should do to prepare for the upcoming launch. Next, we have new Windows 11 bugs. Users report that this month's security updates for Windows 11 cause all sorts of issues, including BitLocker bugs, OneDrive issues, black screens of death, and third-party integration in Office apps. Microsoft has not confirmed those yet, but it acknowledged other issues with its operating system. What Microsoft has confirmed is a bug where Recycle Bin delete prompts display internal file names instead of actual ones, and a year-old Windows JScript compatibility bug caused by security-focused engine changes. Moving to more positive news, Microsoft and Adobe are working on improving Windows performance in popular creative apps like Photoshop. Thanks to SPGO optimizations, users can expect up to 20% better performance. Finally, we have a few useful articles that can help you recover your PC or make it perform better. For one, we published a guide detailing what to do if your computer cannot boot after a clean Windows 11 install. There are two important steps you can try to get your system back to working in no time. Additionally, there is a more detailed guide on various CPU performance modes that could notably improve performance. Windows Insider Program Here is what Microsoft released for Windows Insiders this week: Builds Canary Channel Builds 28120.2315 and 29613.1000 These two builds include a new built-in audio driver, improvements to audio Settings, and more. Dev Channel Builds 26300.8697 and 26220.8690 Not much is available here. Some File Explorer improvements, Start menu enhancements, bug fixes, and more. However, build 26300.8697 is now officially marked as version 26H2. Updates are available This section covers software, firmware, and other notable updates (released and coming soon) delivering new features, security fixes, improvements, patches, and more from Microsoft and third parties. This week, Microsoft announced its newest Surface devices powered by Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon X2 processors. There is the 12th-gen Surface Pro and the 8th-gen Surface Laptop. Both devices feature little to no visual differences compared to their predecessors from 2024, and most changes hide inside, including a better processor, faster graphics, enhanced NPUs, and more. The Surface Laptop also received a new haptic trackpad. Mozilla is currently working on a major Firefox redesign, and earlier this week, it published a roadmap of upcoming features and highlights of the upcoming "Project Nova" rework. Files, one of the best file managers for Windows 10 and 11, has been updated in the Preview channel with a long-requested feature. Tree View is finally available in version 4.1.4, allowing you to quickly browse deeply nested folders without leaving the main view. In addition, the update improved the Windows Fonts folder, allowing you to preview each font without opening the default viewer. Rufus, another useful Windows 11 utility, also received a notable update. Version 4.15 arrived as beta with important fixes for silent Windows 11 installation. It also includes patches for ARM-based Windows PCs, OneDrive removal improvements, and more. Here are other updates and releases you may find interesting: Microsoft faces shareholder lawsuit over masking AI costs and slowing Azure growth Microsoft now allows you to tweak Visual Studio to new extremes Microsoft brings Planner Agent to all Microsoft 365 Copilot users Microsoft fixes one of Excel Copilot's most frustrating limitations Microsoft will finally let you sign in to Edge with a Google account Here are the latest drivers and firmware updates released this week: NVIDIA 610.62 with support for Empulse and various fixes. Reviews are in Here is the hardware and software we reviewed this week Earlier this week, we reviewed the DuRoBo Krono, a portable, phone-sized e-reader with some interesting physical controls. This device has an Apple Watch-like dial for page turning, frontlight adjustment, and more. Software is simple and no-nonsense, but it also lacks some useful features and customization. Overall, the device proved interesting, but not flawless. On the gaming side Learn about upcoming game releases, Xbox rumors, new hardware, software updates, freebies, deals, discounts, and more. Forza Horizon 6 received two big updates this week. Alongside the Series 2 content update, developers pushed plenty of bug fixes and balancing tweaks. However, they also had to acknowledge the Eliminator CR-farming exploit and shut down the online mode temporarily. Luckily, only a few days later, another fix arrived, which re-enabled Eliminator and patched the exploit. Microsoft announced new games for Game Pass subscribers. Those include EA Sports FC 26, Junkster, Call of Duty: Vanguard, Abyssus, RV There Yet?, and more. Some existing games are leaving the catalog, so be sure to check out the full list here. New games are also available for GeForce NOW subscribers, and they include Embers of the Uncrowned Demo, Aphelion, Megastore Simulator, OPERATOR, Citizen Sleeper, and more. Rockstart Games had plenty of GTA-related news this week. For one, the company gave GTA V players another free update. Those still playing the game on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 are no longer required to pay $40 to upgrade to the latest-gen version. More importantly, Rockstar Games revealed the GTA VI cover art and announced the preorder date. The Epic Games Store is giving away two games: Citizen Sleeper and Roboeat. These two titles are up for grabs until next Thursday, but if they are not up to your taste, you can always check out the latest Weekend PC Game Deal issue, which is usually full of discounts and specials that let you save a lot of money on new games.
