Excellent episodes. :)

Sigh, if they cancel this I'm going to fly over to America and punch whoever is in charge of ABC.

Totally agree. Its such a good concept and awesome show. It has the potential to succeed because its such a new concept like Lost was at the time it began in. ABC is screwing it over with the crap time slots, here in Australia the ratings were very good for this show and it was in the perfect 8:30pm slot. Also it's not the smartest thing to do such a massive break mid season. It's such a good show but will be canceled if ABC doesn't get their act together!

two episodes in a row. Thats too much for this show. Eventhough I laugh a couple of times, when he asked to her (she stil lesbian, tho) for a beer.

And I insist, this show should last no more than 3 episodes, that would be great. The shorter the better. Now is all no sence, at all. How could you explain that the two heads of the most extreme terrorist act on history still on their body and not rolling. Killing 20 millions of ppl worldwide and no one from any country (even the victim, U.S., as usual) dont react againt them with the same effort that ended with the life of a "recent" executed dictator...

:pinch: If you don't like the show, then don't watch it. Why do you even bother posting? All you do is post negative **** between this and LOST. Go away!

Just waiting for them to finish it up now, doesn't it end at episode 16?

I might sit down and watch it then.

There's 22 episodes (according to imdb) but watching a season at a time is a good way (Y)

Its not the shows fault, something like this was looking from episode one that it was going to take a while to get there but still worth the trek. Its the networks fault for their lack of support and the fraking long ass break.

If they have to cancel one, I'd hope they cancel V. That show just can't hold my interest.

I don't know what you guys were watching but this show's not that great.

"You look dehydrated. You should replenish your electrolytes." Come on, who the hell talks like that? Just tell the guy to have a damned drink :laugh: There were countless examples of this and the whole thing sounds like it was written by children. Most of the dialogue between the FBI agents is ridiculously anachronistic and the jargon from the scientists just doesn't make any sense.

And why is it that all these shows have to involve some religious aspect? Is it really that difficult to write a sci-fi series without forcing an aggressive religious message down the viewers throat. As if the ending of BSG wasn't sickening enough, this show and V both feel the need to include overtly positive religious characters or plotlines. We all know where Caprica is heading too with all these visions of Amanda Graystone's dead brother. It's sad to see this nonsense being pushed by former ST:TNG writers too.

It wouldn't worry me in the slightest if Flash Forward or V were cancelled and they can take Caprica with them. OK, rant over :angry:

Oh, I forgot to mention that the product placement for Palm in these episodes was pretty pathetic too. Everyone has a Palm Pre, evidence in the form of a leather case for a Palm Pre turns up and they even have an app for tracking prisoner tags that runs on a Palm Pre (surprising that that's one of the 100 apps that are available for the platform).

I was also surprised to see that woman's Palm Pre connected to Sprint in Toronto. I'm from the UK so I may be wrong but that seemed a little unlikely to me.

Ironic that all this product placement comes a day or two after we find out that Palm's effectively doomed :whistle:

Yeah I would have liked the episode twice as much without the douchebag window washer narrator.

Wasn't Phone-Tracking-FBI-Guy one of the terrorists in Sleeper Cell? I thought it was funny seeing those two together again.

We just need 'Liv to get in to FBI HQ with those two and it will be a reunion!

Yup.

I had to look it up, I had never heard of 'Sleeper Cell'.

Awesome couple of episodes. FF may not be as classy as LOST, but it sure as hell is interesting. The ratings are ABCs fault. ?Seriously, a half a 4 months gap? I am sure V is also gonna do miserably in its comeback episode.

I hope that ABC at least gives them the heads up in advance (if they decide to drop the show), so that the storyline can be wrapped up. When will the general public warm up to Sci-Fi?

My thoughts exactly. Had to motivate myself to watch it (because of the gap) but it was worth it! Hopefully the ratings will pick up and shouldn't be cancelled and maybe get a second season!

yes it is the second half of Season 1, it went on hiatus and returned last week and clearly it sounds like the shows concept doesn't appeal to you if you are not enjoying it...plus if you are just watching now you will need to go back watch the first half of the season but if you have seen them all and as I said not enjoying then stop.

    • Euro-Office must default to ODF to be considered "genuinely European", LibreOffice argues

      By TsarNikky · Posted

      While LibreOffice is not pleased to see a new competitor, they are absolutely correct in stating that Euro-Office using a MS file standard as a default is not being truly "European." Using a MS standard just means Euro-Office is just a "bastardized MS Office Suite." (Wasn't a major purpose of Euro-Office was to get away from being captive and enslaved to MS's Office Suite??)
    • Microsoft Teams is getting a controversial location tracking feature that users may hate

      By TsarNikky · Posted

      Microsoft continues its long-term policy of spying on their users--despite vehement denials. That feature will be disabled (or removed) either "elegantly" with MS providing a true way to disable it, or "quick and dirty" via a third-party who WILL come up with a way to disable it. Your choice MS...

      Microsoft Weekly: Xbox exclusives are back, big Windows app updates, and more by Taras Buria This week's news recap is here. Microsoft is returning to XBOX exclusives, Windows 11 gets new preview builds, the Low-latency Profile is here, big updates for inbox Windows apps, Patch Tuesday updates, 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. The June 2026 Patch Tuesday updates are now publicly available. Windows 11 users can download KB5094126, which introduces plenty of new features and security updates, including the Low-latency Profile for better performance, shared Bluetooth audio support, and more. Windows 10 users with PCs enrolled in the Extended Security Update program can download KB5094127. In addition, Microsoft released new Defender updates for its operating systems. Speaking of Defender, Microsoft will now deliver EDR updates via Microsoft Update for faster security improvements independent of Patch Tuesday updates. Following the release of this month's Patch Tuesday updates, Microsoft also published new Windows 11 images available in the Media Creation Tool app. Now, you can create bootable USB media for clean Windows 11 installations with the latest releases. Some unfortunate stuff is going on with certain PCs from Dell and HP. Dell acknowledged that the SupportAssist bug causes black screens of death, while HP systems are suffering from Secure Boot update issues and boot loops. Both companies issued official advisories. Windows Insider Program Here is what Microsoft released for Windows Insiders this week: Builds Canary Channel Builds 29610.1000 and 28120.2302 This week's "Canary" builds only contain performance improvements and fixes, including the Low-latency mode, which is now available in the Stable channel for all Windows 11 24H2 and 25H2 users. Dev Channel Build 26300.8687 Microsoft brought some useful File Explorer changes with this build. You can now open folders in a new tab by middle-clicking them in the address bar. Beta Channel Build 26220.8680 and 28020.2298 Screen Tint, improved Windows Widgets, and other enhancements are included in this week's Beta releases. Release Preview Channel Builds 26200.8728 and 26100.8728 These builds also feature better widgets, new Windows Update controls, point-in-time restore, File Explorer improvements, and more. In addition to new Windows 11 preview builds, Microsoft announced that inbox Windows 11 apps now have their dedicated release notes in the official documentation. Also, Microsoft dropped massive feature updates for six apps, including Paint, Clock, Calculator, Camera, Media Player, Photos, and more. 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. Google has some bad news for those still using MV2-based extensions in Chromium-based browsers, particularly Chrome. The company is now removing flags responsible for Manifest V2-based extensions (uBlock Origin is one of the most popular). However, some browsers resist this change, and Opera issued a statement that it will allow users to continue using MV2 extensions for as long as possible. While Microsoft is still not ready to share new details about MV2 extensions in Microsoft Edge, the company shared important details about the way it will be updating the browser going forward. Now, Microsoft wants to update Edge every two weeks across all platforms instead of the current four-week schedule (only the Extended Stable is exempt from this change). This week, Microsoft confirmed a useful new Teams feature that is coming to the messenger soon. It also detailed all the improvements that made the platform better for users in 2026. However, not all changes are great, as the company is moving ahead with the check-in feature, which many believe will lead to employee monitoring. PowerToys received a feature update this week. Version 0.100 arrived with a big rework for the Shortcut Guide, a new extension gallery for Command Palette, new Dock features, and plenty of other changes. Here are other updates and releases you may find interesting: Microsoft is bringing big performance improvements to OneDrive on Mac Popular Windows 11 file manager Files gets improved tags, layouts, and a new OneDrive icon New Outlook for Windows and Web is getting a simple but very useful email feature Microsoft had to shut down 70+ GitHub repos after getting hacked, bringing back some Microsoft AI boss no longer believes that AI will replace human workers Microsoft wants to end printer driver headaches with Windows Ready Print SQL Server Management Studio 22.7 brings "What's New" page, T-SQL formatting, and lots more Microsoft releases Visual Studio Code 1.124 with smarter autonomous AI agents Windows Server gets DNS over HTTPS (DoH) support Here are the latest drivers and firmware updates released this week: NVIDIA 610.52 Hotfix with multiple fixes for black screens of death, sleep issues, G-SYNC, and more. Reviews are in Here is the hardware and software we reviewed this week Steven Parker reviewed a rather unorthodox device here on Neowin this week. He took for a spin the DWARF mini, the world's smallest smart telescope for night and day sky captures. It tracks objects in the sky, has a sun filter, and has a low learning curve. There is also nice build quality and a quite affordable price. Pulasthi Ariyasinghe reviewed 007 First Light. The game turned out to be a satisfying spy adventure in the James Bond universe with great gunplay and combat, impressive crowds, over-the-top action sequences, and more. There are a few quirks here and there, but overall, the game scored high on our scale. On the gaming side Learn about upcoming game releases, Xbox rumors, new hardware, software updates, freebies, deals, discounts, and more. Microsoft held the latest XBOX Games Showcase this week.

More improtantly for XBOX fans, Microsoft announced the return of XBOX exclusives, with Gears of War: E-Day and Clockwork Revolution kicking it off. Microsoft also has some good news for Nintendo Switch 2 owners. Minecraft is coming natively to the second-gen Switch, offering better performance and new features, including the visual overhaul called "Vibrant Visuals." Playground Games revealed a 30-minute gameplay video of the upcoming Fable, showcasing combat, action, NPC simulation, relationships, and player choices.

    • Microsoft Flight Simulator's City Update 15 enhances Midwest cities

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Microsoft Flight Simulator's City Update 15 enhances Midwest cities by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The third major city update of the year has landed for the original Microsoft Flight Simulator and the 2024 release. The latest drop is upgrading the visuals and regional accuracy of three metropolitan regions in the American states of Illinois, Minnesota, and Wisconsin. The 15th city update is adding eight new areas of interest that have been enhanced with high-fidelity TIN (triangulated irregular network) surface texturing in the mentioned regions. The free update highlights Chicago, Elgin, Cicero, and Arlington Heights in Illinois, as well as Minneapolis, St. Paul, Bloomington, Duluth, Brooklyn Park, Woodbury, Lakeville, Plymouth, and Blaine in Minnesota. In Wisconsin, the development has also upgraded the lands and buildings of Milwaukee, Madison, and Racine. The update lands just as one of the world's largest enthusiast flight simulation conventions, FlightSimExpo, kicks off in downtown St. Paul, Minnesota, on June 14. The Flight Sim development team's 40-minute keynote at the event can be watched here. At the same time, Microsoft is bringing the 6-seat, single-engine, multi-use light civil airplane Piper M600 into the game as a part of its Expert Series 2 program. This premium plane can be purchased from the in-game marketplace for $24.99. City Update 15: The United States Midwest is now available in Microsoft Flight Simulator, as well as the newer Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, as an optional download. It can be accessed across Steam and the Microsoft Store for PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5, as well as Xbox and PC Game Pass subscriptions. Xbox One, mobile, and PC players can also jump into the new content using Xbox Cloud Gaming if they have a Game Pass Ultimate membership. The game must be updated to the latest version to download this free update from the in-game marketplace.
