I beg to differ. If it's not part of the main plot, it is filler, regardless of if it rocked or sucked.

How do you know its not part of the main plot? How do you know walters fathers books wont be needed in the next ep ? How do you know that this other dimmension stuff wasnt helped along by the nazi's? How did this nazi guy live that long? Was he from the other dimmension where the nazis are still around?

there is nothing to say this wasnt part of the story line.

PS this episode linked to one of the fringe comics . So would that still make it filler?

How do you know its not part of the main plot?

The events were in no way related to the pattern.

How do you know walters fathers books wont be needed in the next ep ?

It may or may not be, but from what we learned, Walter's father and his research were involved with the Germans and nothing else. That's not to say that there weren't other things his father did outside of being a German scientist, but we have to go with what we know.

How do you know that this other dimmension stuff wasnt helped along by the nazi's?

How do you figure that it was? Nothing indicated such, but the impossibilities are endless.

How did this nazi guy live that long?

A self contained mystery brought about by this singular episode. Ie: not part of the main plot.

Was he from the other dimmension where the nazis are still around?

Do we know that Nazi's are still around in the other dimension? It's obvious that the guy survived over 60 years without aging, which lends to the theory that he conducted his own fringe science that made him that way. He could be from the other dimension, but there's more evidence at this time that suggests otherwise.

there is nothing to say this wasnt part of the story line.

There's plenty to say it's not part of the main plot. It was a good filler episode that gave us more background into the Bishops.

PS this episode linked to one of the fringe comics . So would that still make it filler?

The ruling on the field stands: *cues Michael Jackson music* Filler! Filler night!

Dianna Kruger Guest Stars! (TV Overmind)

In case you didn't know, Fringe star Joshua Jackson (Peter Bishop) is dating Diane Kruger. Don't know Diane Kruger? She's a fairly A-list actress who has appeared in films such as Troy, National Treasure, and, most recently, Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds. The German-born actress isn't ending her credits there, though. She's also going to be adding a guest appearance on Fringe to her filmography.

Her relationship with Jackson probably secured her the role, but she won't be around long on the show. She looks like she'll instead be one of the victims of some super-bubonic-plague-like affliction that causes her arm and next to develop boil-like, scaly cysts. It also looks like the affliction will be hitting Kruger's character while she's going for a drive (pictured right). It's not pretty, but it's totally Fringe-y.

Behind the scenes photos also show Kruger on set spending time with Jackson.

Due to the point in filming the series is at, Kruger's appearance will probably be late in the season, presumably after the April 1 episode "Peter," and before the season finale.

Dinae Krguer would be a good addition.

The last episode whether or not it was a filler was pretty good. It kept me going for the whole 40 minutes plus the ratings are seeing an upswing in the new year. Hopefully they will continue enough to be renewed again!

I figured something out.

Spoilers, only slightly,

When hes opening the combination lock at the base, he says the combination, 5 - 20 - 10.

At the end they said it returns on April 1 with 8 new episodes. So, 8 weeks with a new episode, well, the 8th new episode will be airing on May 20, 2010, ... 5 - 20 10 !!!!

    • This one baffles me...so they are creating a museum based around the Ship of Theseus? A museum is supposed to preserve things. It doesn't really work if the conversation goes, "I gazed upon Starry Night the other day, the colours were beautiful!" "Yeah...I didn't expect Godzilla to show up, though." Create a building devoted to displaying AI work, fine. The rainforest idea sounds interesting and I would consider visiting if they pay me a few bucks. But don't call it a museum...
    • >defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool It is not. It is the inhuman artist replacement. The human writing the prompt is the employer/manager requesting the work product of the artist -- a supervisory/descriptive job that doesn't carry with it any rights to the copyright of that work product at all. And since AI is not human itself, it can't gain copyright for anything it is asked to regurgitate or hallucinate, so it can't transfer that copyright to the employer/manager/human who asked for the output. This was all legally reaffirmed last year. So, no, while there are AI tools, AI slopware generation is NOT a "tool" in the legal definition of that word.

    • Google is opening the world's first AI museum in Los Angeles by Ivan Jenic Image via: Google Ever since AI image generators went mainstream, the debate over whether AI-generated art is real art hasn't let up. Those who don’t consider AI to be art say that if a machine does the creating and anyone can prompt it, there’s no skill involved, and therefore no art is produced. The counter-argument is equally persistent, as defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool, and that every major technological breakthrough, like the camera or the computer, was met with the same skepticism before eventually being accepted as a legitimate creative medium. Google’s position in this debate is clear. Which is no surprise, as the company is investing billions in AI infrastructure. And now, in efforts to encourage people to use its AI even more, Google is opening Dataland on June 20, which it's calling the world's first AI arts museum. Located inside The Grand LA, a Frank Gehry-designed building in Los Angeles, the museum spans 25,000 square feet. The museum is built around a collaboration with media artist Refik Anadol, who has worked with Google since 2016. The inaugural exhibition is called Machine Dreams: Rainforest, and is powered by an AI model trained on “an extensive dataset of the natural world.” It generates 1.2 billion pixels of visuals in real time and reacts to visitors dynamically. The space also generates soundscapes, real-time emotion sensing, and algorithmically produced scents. Image via: Refik Anadol Studio / Google Google says that the museum is powered by its Gemini models, which run on Google Cloud. So, everything is generated inside one of Google’s AI data centers and is streamed to the museum. Alongside the museum opening, Google Arts & Culture is funding an AI Artist Residency, giving four artists $25,000 grants each, along with mentorship from Refik Anadol Studio and access to Google's machine learning tools. Their work will be shown at Dataland and on the Google Arts & Culture website later this year. Google’s AI museum will undoubtedly initiate a fired-up debate on social media, and we can’t wait to see the first reactions. Via: Smithsonian Magazine
