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.

I did wonder that myself

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

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts

      By [deXter] · Posted

      I think you meant the "ntfs3" driver, but yes there have been a lot of fixes for it in this release and previous releases, not 100% sure if the issue you mentioned is fixed though. In any case, the new "ntfs" driver in 7.1 doesn't have that issue (at least, no reports of such have come thru), but your kernel needs to explicitly enable support for the new driver first (like how CachyOS kernel has it), and you need to edit your mount points in /etc/fstab to use "ntfs" instead of the other drivers.
    • Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Epic Games is rolling out the latest major update to Unreal Engine 5 today, and at the same time, the company also dropped some information on the next-generation version of the product, Unreal Engine 6. This was already revealed a few weeks ago alongside the new Rocket League upgrade reveal. The company says it is combining the features of Unreal Engine and Unreal Editor for Fortnite to create this new version of its popular media creation tool. On top of creating entire games, the new engine will also focus on letting developers operate large-scale live service titles more easily, whether by shipping content into their own ecosystems or into Fortnite. The use of large language models is also mentioned here, with Epic saying it will be a core part of the engine. "We see LLMs, generative AI models, and tools like Claude and Codex playing a central role in helping you build content faster while maintaining the creative control you need," adds the company. Here is the rundown of what's new about version 6 of Unreal Engine: With all these changes to the programming model, portability upgrades, and generative AI integration, Epic says the new version of the engine will "change a lot about how games are made." The company aims to ship Unreal Engine 6 into early access in late 2027, with a full release planned for 12-18 months later. Epic Games also dropped a lengthy blog post about the new Unreal Engine 5.8 update for game developers over here. The release is focused on delivering better performance, customization, and streamlined workflows for development teams. This will be the final major update for this version of the engine before Epic switches to focus fully on Unreal Engine 6's early access launch.

    • Nearly half of American adults now use AI, but concerns are also growing

      By ad47uk · Posted

      That is the thing, how many of these people don't realise they are using AI? If they use Google Search they have no choice but to use AI. So yes, maybe half of American adults do use and I expect a lot of Uk adults do to, but I bet most of them don't realise it. Myself, i avoid the rubbish.

      They use FREE AI. They aren't paying for this meme-generating slopware...
