New Episode Monday January 11th (After House!)!

FOX is giving a "Fringe" an extra boost before its upcoming hiatus.

Network sources have confirmed to the site exclusively that an original installment of the second-year series will follow a new "House" on Monday, January 11.

Said pair will face off against the time period premieres of "Chuck" and "Heroes" on NBC as well as fresh installments of CBS's comedies and week two of "The Bachelor: On the Wings of Love" on ABC.

Here's something I just realized. They stopped doing the blueish lens flare effect. I remember in season one, they'd have flashes of blue light from the sides of the screen.

Like so (taken from here):

What is it with the crazy schedule on Fringe. Is it just me or are they trying to get rid of any viewers? I thought tonight was going to be another new episode, now i find out they won't be on until Jan 11?? I like the show, is great, but Fox always ****s things up.

Wow. If you thought FOX had no more tricks up its sleeve, you're certainly wrong. They have quite a few tricks, it seems. The question is: are they good tricks?

The trick I'm questioning is their January 11 block. Sure, they've moved the return of House back two weeks to this date, but they're also following up House will a new episode of Fringe instead of House's usual follow-up Lie to Me. Want to know why that's even stranger?

The new episode of Fringe won't be from season two.

I'll give you a moment to pick your jaws up from the floor.

No, we're not catching a glimpse of Fringe's future, but rather of its past. The January 11 episode of Fringe will be an outtake from season one. That's right ? an entire episode was nixed from the first season, and only now do they see fit to tell us.

Fringe did have a strangely short first season, with only twenty episodes. The original order was 22, but this was mysteriously cut back. This is obviously one of the two nixed hours. Is there perhaps a second episode that has been shielded from our eyes?

The content of the episode, titled "Unearthed," is unknown, but it is known to feature the recently deceased Charlie, who was killed in early season two by an otherworldly soldier. It'll be good to see Kirk Acevedo's familiar face back with the Fringe team.

That doesn't mean that there still aren't a lot of questions. Let me express my incredulity in bulleted form:

* Why was this episode cut?

* Who made the decision to cut it, FOX or the producers?

* What story content was in this episode that we've missed out on?

* Where was this episode supposed to fit in during the rest of the season (we can't know if it takes place immediately after the pilot or shortly before the season one finale)?

* Why now?

While I am excited to see this new episode, I have to say I'm a little uneasy about this whole thing. For a serialized drama such as Fringe, ripping out episodes isn't exactly the best thing you can do for the story. For instance, if you just ripped out any episode of Lost, even an inconsequential one like "S.O.S.," you'd still be as confused as hell. Is there some reveal that we missed? Is there a stutter from the first season that would have made more sense if we'd seen this episode?

If you can't tell, Fringe is one of my favorite shows, and I really hate when networks intervene so intrusively with a great show such as this. In any case, I'll be tuning in to this episode, even over the return of Chuck. Sorry Mr. Bartowski, but Dr. Bishop takes priority on this one.

Fringe's second season proper will actually return on January 7, the Thursday before this misplaced episode airs (which means two episodes in one week! Hooray!).

    • 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
