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

    • Glow 26.10

      By Copernic · Posted

      Glow 26.10 by Razvan Serea Glow provides detailed reporting on every hardware component in your computer, saving you valuable time typically spent searching for CPU, motherboard, RAM, graphics card, and other stats. With Glow, all the information is conveniently presented in one clean interface, allowing you to easily access and review the comprehensive hardware details of your system. Glow provides detailed information on various system aspects, including OS, motherboard, processor, memory, graphics card, storage, network, battery, drivers, and services. The well-organized format ensures easy access to the required information. You can export all the gathered data to a plain text file, facilitating sharing with others for troubleshooting purposes. No installation needed. Just decompress the archive, launch the executable, and access computer-related information. Glow runs on Windows 11 and Windows 10 64-bit versions. Glow 26.10 changelog: New Features The bootstrapping algorithm has been completely redesigned. The software can now launch directly without requiring TS Preloader. As part of this change, the startup splash screen displayed during initialization has been removed. In addition, spikes in CPU usage have been eliminated, resulting in a more stable architecture with significantly lower memory consumption. The Microsoft Office detection infrastructure within the Operating System section has been enhanced. Additional detection support has been added for Office C2R (Click-to-Run) installations. Furthermore, the license status evaluation system has been improved, and the priority order has been revised as follows: Licensed > Grace Period > Other (NOTIFICATIONS, EVALUATION, etc.). Glow now includes preliminary support for Wi-Fi 8 technology, allowing more detailed information to be displayed for Wi-Fi 8-compatible network adapters. Glow now provides full support for Bluetooth 6.2. Adapters supporting Bluetooth 6.2 can be analyzed in greater detail and with improved accuracy. The disk distribution view in the Disk section has been modernized, replacing the traditional table layout with a new 2×2 card-based design. The TS Custom Controls module has been updated to v26.7. Thanks to the new custom controls, all Türkaysoft applications now offer a more modern and consistent user interface aligned with Windows 11 design standards. Bug Fixes Potential line-ending handling issues in the Office detection code within the Operating System section have been resolved. Additionally, the output format has been standardized to UTF-8 to prevent character encoding issues and ensure consistent data processing. Several stability and file management issues within the Debugging infrastructure have been addressed. Problems that prevented new log files from being created after Debugging was disabled, as well as issues causing debug records to be lost, have been fixed. File deletion and reaccess issues that occurred after file locks were released have also been resolved. In addition, a bug that caused newly recreated log files to remain locked after deletion has been eliminated. Unnecessary blank lines within debug logs and the extra empty line that could appear at the end of log files have also been corrected. A shortcut key conflict caused by assigning identical hotkeys to both the DNS Test Tool and the Donation page has been fixed. The DNS Test Tool can now be accessed using CTRL + Shift + D, while the Donation page is available via CTRL + Alt + D. Changes The service responsible for providing the Public IP Address and Internet Service Provider information in the Network section has been updated to use the ipinfo.io infrastructure. This change improves the accuracy and consistency of the displayed data. (No external requests are made while Hiding Mode is enabled.) Some terms in the Dutch and Korean language files have been updated to make them clearer and more user-friendly. [TS Updater] Before the update process begins, users are now prompted to choose whether they would like to view the release notes. Note: Always unzip the program before using it. Otherwise you may get an error. Download: Glow 26.10 | 1.8 MB (Open Source) Links: Glow Homepage | Screenshot | Github Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
