It?s hardly a secret that Fringe is having a tough go of it on Thursday night this season. Last week, the sophomore drama?s audience shrunk to just 5 million viewers ? an all-time low. Sure, two weeks of pre-emptions due to baseball didn?t help, but the fact remains: Fringe is struggling.

On the bright side, everyone seems to be in agreement that Fringe has never been better creatively. And inside sources say Fox, although not thrilled with the ratings, remains committed to the show ? a fact corroborated by the drama?s boss, J.J. Abrams.

?The mood on set and in the writer?s room is as good as the ratings are bad, which is to say, wonderful,? Abrams tells me. ?Luckily, Fox has been insanely supportive, for which we are deeply grateful.?

Abrams is encouraged by the show?s ?strong? DVR numbers as well as the glowing reviews from critics. ?But given that we?re on one of the hardest [nights] on television, we?re just focusing on making the best show we possibly can,? he says. ?What else can we do??

Bottom line: Fringe is in no immediate danger of going ?over there? (a.k.a. TV graveyard). The key word there being immediate.

I wish they'd stick with the arcing story lines a little more, or at least integrate them from the week to week stories which are starting to make the show feel like its 80% filler, 20% story. Obviously each week, we see a story which gets resolved inside that episode, but what about all the questions that are raised from parallel dimensions, the observer etc? They can't open that box, then ignore it. It's just starting to become a one shot mystery every week and far too predictable. Weird stuff happens, the doctor is confused, detective work is done, they know whats going on, the doctor finds the answer, the bad guy gets busted, job done. That's all it feels like at the moment. It's like the writers have lost the plot.

Maybe the fillers will make more sense later. Like Lost. Stuff seems random now, but in some later season it will all come together?

I wish they'd replace Dunham with someone cute. She's a bit too manly and there's something weird about her face.

I dunno, I kinda like her in that role. She kinda awkwardly cute.. lol. She's not entirely hot, but she's cute (Y).

    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows by Usama Jawad A couple of days ago, we reported that the latest Patch Tuesday update has seemingly resulted in a lot of issues for many users, including OneDrive and Dropbox access problems, BitLocker recovery lockouts, and BSODs. Although Microsoft is yet to acknowledge these bugs, it has confirmed another, relatively smaller issue across all supported versions of Windows. In an update on its Windows Release Health Dashboard, Microsoft has confirmed that after installing June's Patch Tuesday update (KB5094126), you'll experience unexpected behavior when leveraging Recycle Bin. Basically, when you attempt to delete an item from the Recycle Bin, the confirm dialog will show you the internal file name of that content rather than the actual name. For example, the file may be named abc.png, but the confirm dialog will ask if you're sure that you want to permanently delete $Rxxxxx.png from the Recycle Bin. This is pretty much it for the scope of the bug itself; it just displays the wrong name in the confirm dialog. The correct name will be shown in the list view of the Recycle Bin and if you restore the file, it will return with the correct name as well. This issue affects pretty much all supported versions of Windows client and server, including: Client: Windows 11, version 26H1; Windows 11, version 25H2; Windows 11, version 24H2; Windows 11, version 23H2; Windows 10, version 22H2; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB 2016 Server: Windows Server 2025; Windows Server 2022; Windows Server 2019; Windows Server 2016; Windows Server 2012 R2; Windows Server 2012 As things currently stand, Microsoft is working on a concrete solution that will be released in a "future" Windows update. It remains to be seen if the firm will wait till the next Patch Tuesday or roll out an out-of-band (OOB) fix. The good news is that commercial customers can deploy a workaround right now, but they will have to reach out to Microsoft Support for Business for additional details.

      A study by physicist Henry Tye of Cornell University suggests that the universe may not expand forever. Instead, it could eventually stop expanding, begin contracting and end in a "Big Crunch" roughly 20 billion years from now. Maybe not as we now know that time can flow backwards.

      Of course. Simply reverse the polarity.

      It is clear from this aricle that "Time Is On My Side" no matter which direction it is flowing., https://noai.duckduckgo.com/?i...m%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DsEj8lUx0gwY
