Good standalone episode, you get a glimpse of how much Olivia cares for Peter :) I wonder if Astrid will dig out the story about Peter from Walter.

I'd say they needed you in the solution Radish ;). hahaha..

William vs Walter!

It?s the showdown we?ve been waiting for.

Fringe?s second-season finale this spring will feature a long-awaited confrontation between weird science partners-turned-frenemies William Bell (Leonard Nimoy) and Walter Bishop (John Noble).

?William and Walter will finally face off in the finale,? confirms consulting producer Akiva Goldsman, who is directing the two-part episode (written by exec producers Jeff Pinkner and J.H. Wyman). ?These [characters] have so much that they?re bringing to bear. And Leonard and John are two fantastic actors.?

The William/Walter reunion is just one of several mythology-related payoffs Fringe has in store in this season?s final episodes. ?We?re going to be looking very closely into Peter?s [Joshua Jackson] identity, Walter?s choices in the past, and Walter?s choices in the future,? reveals Goldsman. ?And by the end of the season, we?re all going over to the other side.

?We?re trying to do the last two episodes as a singular event, a little bit more movie-like,? elaborates the acclaimed auteur, who won an Oscar for his adaptation of A Beautiful Mind. ?It?s really one big story. We?re approaching it like a mini-feature. It?ll have a singular narrative drive.?

But will it have any closure should, heaven forbid, the episode turn out to be a series finale? ?Good stories typically have sufficient closure, but also have the promise of continuing ? even if you?re not watching them continue,? he says. ?So, short of killing somebody ? which we?re not doing ? we?re just treating it like the end of a movement, not the end of a symphony.?

Question: When are we going to get some background info about Peter on Fringe? We know he is from the alt universe, but other than that we know very little about him. ?Emily

Ausiello: I have a hunch we?ll learn more in the April 1 episode, titled ?Peter.? ?It?s a window into the mysteries of Peter that have been promised since the first season,? explains consulting producer Akiva Goldsman. ?It?s an episode that?s fundamentally about his relationship to Walter and the truth of where they are right now, which is pretty revelatory to the characters and hopefully the audience.? Will he finally find out that he?s from ?over there?? ?By the end of [the Feb. 4 episode] and into [the April 1 episode] questions about Peter?s identity and mortality go a long way towards being answered.?

Question: When are we going see some development in the Peter/Olivia relationship on Fringe? ?Serena

Ausiello: ?The romantic elements of their relationship will come forward pretty soon,? teases Akiva Goldsman. ?Like any courtship, it wanes, and then it comes back again. So that?s going to make another move forward [on Feb. 4], and then we?ll keep addressing it throughout the season.?

Question: I want to know if they?re ever going to use Special Agent Amy Jessup again on Fringe. I thought she was going to be Charlie?s replacement, then she just disappeared. ?Emma

Ausiello: Responds Akiva Goldsman: ?You have not seen the last of Agent Jessup.? And what about Charlie? ?I plead the Fifth on that one.?

I saw the Observer! He passed by the diner window just before the second attack! Huzzah!

Another filler episode, but it was pretty good episode, and it's quite obvious that the seahorse was there for a reason beyond being Walter's father signature, as it appears in the opening credits.

I really hope want this show to be great, but the build up of the other dimension people has been touched on, what, 4 out of 14 episodes? I know the next episode will finally get back to the main storyline, but I can't see this show being successful for six, five or even four seasons if they keep throwing episodes in that have no relation to what brought the show into existence.

Well, I'm a new viewer with this season, so I guess I'm just use to the "filler" episodes.

This episode was OK, but I have a little problem with *why* the FBI, and especially the Fringe division, became involved so quickly.

This was not a filler episode. It provided Backstory to Walters charecter.

    • Apple CEO Tim Cook confirms looming price hikes due to memory shortages

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      Apple CEO Tim Cook confirms looming price hikes due to memory shortages by Hamid Ganji Image via Apple Memory and chip shortages have led to significant price increases for electronics over the past year, and it seems that more hikes are on the way for upcoming smartphones and computers. Apple CEO Tim Cook has confirmed that the company is planning to increase the prices of some of its products due to the ongoing memory and storage shortages. In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Cook confirmed the looming price hikes for Apple’s future products, adding that “Unfortunately, price increases are unavoidable.” He also said the company is doing its best to “mitigate the huge increases that are being passed to us, and we’ve been trying to shield our customers from the increases, but the situation has become unsustainable.” The Apple CEO also noted that the allocation of a large portion of memory chips to AI companies has contributed to shortages in the market, resulting in lower supply at a time when demand for devices remains high. “We definitely need memory pricing and supply to return to reasonable levels for consumer products. That’s the bottom line,” Cook said. Cook also added that Apple is ready to use its vast cash reserves to help boost supply in the market because additional production capacity is needed. While he declined to specify how Apple plans to do that, he said the company will not build its own memory and storage factories despite its financial resources and silicon expertise. Cook did not provide further details on the scale of the price increases or which Apple products would be affected, though iPads and Macs could see higher prices sooner than other products. Apple’s next product launch event is scheduled for September, when the company is expected to unveil the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and its first foldable iPhone. It remains unclear whether the upcoming iPhones will be affected by the price increases, but given the current memory shortage, higher prices seem increasingly likely. There is currently no clear timeline for the end of the memory shortage. Samsung, one of the world’s three largest memory chip manufacturers, recently said the shortage could persist for several more years.
