Good episode.. But as I thought.....they ****ed me off about Charlie..

Although I must say I liked the new chick once she got going in the show, but she still won't replace Charlie for me.. LOVE the fact she had the bible though, using it for clues and such

Great first episode. I like the way they're getting rid of Charlie instead of just having him shot or leaving the FBI.

yeah I was really worried at first. When they said Charlie is out of town.. I almost thought they were just going to write him off and just always being out of town on other cases or something.. Should have known these writers aren't as stupid as some other shows. :p

The FBI girl is cute..and the chick who plays Olivia is cute as well... and I knew she would be the new FBI agent as soon as I saw her. Wondered about Charlie and knew at the end that the shape shifter got him. These things are not hard to figure out. Never liked Charlie anyway...so good riddens.

For those of you thinking that Fringe's Kirk Acevedo, who plays Agent Charlie Francis, was lying about getting "fired," you're absolutely wrong. Earlier this year, the actor posted on his Facebook page that he'd been fired from his Fringe gig. And, in tonight's episode, we found out that he was telling the truth. We won't be seeing any more Charlie Francis ? but we'll be seeing a lot more Kirk Acevedo.

Confused yet?

On the season two premiere of FOX's hit sci-fi drama, we dealt with someone with a shapeshifting ability as the monster of the week. However, at the end of the episode, it looks like he'll be more of a monster of the year. In the surprising plot twist I talked about earlier today, Acevedo's Charlie Francis was killed by the shapeshifter, who in turn took Francis' place, returning at the end of the episode to dump the deceased agent's body into a conveniently placed furnace. "Firing" him. Get it?

Of course, any really ardent watcher could have seen the twist coming from a mile away, especially after Charlie's bedside discussion with Olivia, where he told the story of gunshots that killed his partner, though he had initially believed the gunshots had killed the woman. My certaintly was even more cemented in this twist during the cutaways in the hospital basement, where Francis' encounter with the shapeshifter was forgone in order to focus on Peter running after the sounds.

So now, Charlie Francis is dead, but we still get to watch Kirk Acevedo, who now plays the shapeshifting agent from another world, taking orders from mirrored hands on a typewriter (a very cool scene if I say so myself). Thankfully, we are also rid of the shapeshifting storyline (a very cool one-trick-pony, but nothing more), because the spy's equipment has been destroyed and confiscated by the government.

Was Kirk Acevedo's Facebook teasing cruel? Absolutely. Was it also not fun to find out his little joke? Even more so. Glad we'll be seeing more of him in an expanded role throughout next season.

So Vampire didn't do as good this week, and Jay's numbers are getting lower each night.. Jesus at the horrible show Parks and Recreations having the 9:30 slot all to itself. Granted everything else on TV is 1 hour at that time slot.

why did they kill off Charlie? Do they have a problem with characters named Charlie? :p It didn't seem like there was enough time for the shape shifter to do it's thing anyway, considering the bit where we saw him change near the beginning of the episode which took much longer...yet in a few seconds he or she does it again...

yeah i don't understand that it. they already showed earlier in the episode that they need to maintain the same body, but after the shapeshifter changed, he had Charlie's body, the nurses body, and Charlie's dead body in the corner??I mean that would imply that somehow he could form a new body out of thin air in a few seconds or there was another shape shifter in the room and the first one died. You would also think Peter at least would be smart enough to say Charlie let me check your mouth before they left that room. Oh well for the sake of the show

      The problem isn't with Epic, it's with the platform holders like Steam and Nintendo, they should be a lot more strict in their review process.

    • Microsoft updates Visual Studio Code with easier language model discovery and in-app search

      By zikalify · Posted

      Microsoft updates Visual Studio Code with easier language model discovery and in-app search by Paul Hill Microsoft has released Visual Studio Code 1.125, its latest weekly release. This week, the company has focused on discovering and installing extra language models via the Marketplace; searching the web and securely browsing over remote connections without leaving VS Code; choosing how long VS Code waits before installing extension updates; and delivering managed Copilot settings through existing device management tooling. In older versions of VS Code, extensions could contribute their own model providers, but to find these extensions, you needed the right tags to search for in the Extension view. Now, the Language Models editor gives you an Install Model Providers button that opens the Extensions view, which is filtered to extensions that contribute model providers, making it easier to find and install them. Once you install a provider, its model will appear in the model picker. If you use the integrated browser much, you can now look up information without leaving VS Code by typing a query into the integrated browser’s address bar. It will use your configured search engine, the same way a standalone browser does. You can use workbench.browser.searchEngine to pick a search engine. When the browser is opened in a remote workspace, it's now possible to proxy HTTP(S) traffic via the remote connection. This allows you to connect to any ports or services that can only be accessed from the remote machine. If you read our coverage from two weeks ago about VS Code 1.123, you might have seen that extension updates have a two-hour delay as a safety measure. In this update, Microsoft is giving you the ability to configure the time of the delay. You can find it under extensions.autoUpdateDelay. Finally, with this update, admins can deliver managed GitHub Copilot settings through native device management (MDM) channels on Windows and macOS, in addition to account-based enterprise settings files. Settings delivered via MDM appear as policy-enforced in VS Code and can’t be overridden locally. Future updates will extend the supported policy keys across Copilot surfaces. You can download the update from the Visual Studio Code website now.
