Smallville alum Kristin Kreuk is currently in late negotiations to guest star on Fringe, a source close to the production has told CinemaSpy. The episode, entitled "Northwest Passage", begins shooting next week, and takes place in the, not surprisingly, Pacific Northwest. CinemaSpy has been informed that the deal to sign Kreuk hadn't been locked as of two days ago, but that it's likely. A decision is expected this week.

If Kreuk is cast, no word yet on what part she will play, though we've been told there are at least two roles available in the story, including that of a law enforcement officer.

Kreuk has most recently appeared in a four-episode arc of NBC's Chuck, playing a sweet nerd named Hannah, a new employee at the Buy More.

In related Fringe news, CinemaSpy has learned that Leonard Nimoy will return for either episode 21 or 22 to participate in the season finale storyline (as expected), reprising his role as William Bell; the producers are hoping to shoot some material in New York; and that according to the script, the finale will feature ? car buffs take note ? a BMW 12 Series. This last bit is significant because the automaker doesn't manufacture a 12 Series and thus the car is presumably from the alternate universe established in the show's mythology.

Fringe returns to television April 1, with eight new episodes in a row. The season finale is set to air on May 20.

Production on the series, which films in Vancouver, is on hiatus this week due to the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games.

Kristen spoke about how excited she is to film the new Josh Schwartz comedy, Hitched, and put to rest the rumours that she will be on Fringe this season (she will NOT be appearing).

Good. I cant stand her acting, all she ever did in Smallville was f**king cry :hmmm:

So I've been catching up on Season 2 [as I missed most of it] and I'm currently on episode 11--the one with the girl and the Russian guy with the launch codes.

Now... I'm about 1/4 way into the episode, and I'm incredibly confused. It's no spoiler anymore that

Charlie died early on, and was 'replaced' by one of the shapeshifters

[though I'll black it out anyway], but Olivia took care of that in episode... 4 or 5, I don't remember.

They showed her shooting Doppelganger Charlie in the head.

Now... They called in Teresa Rusk, and in the office is... Charlie? What is going on? Everyone wasn't even giving him a second glance, as if nothing had happened.

J.J. Abrams says the second season finale will be just as "impactful" as the first-season finale was, but richer, deeper and better as well. And it may wrap up some storylines, but he's not saying exactly. Also, the upcoming April Fools episode is "retro and weird," and may spoof old science fiction shows as well as showing our heroes using retro technology. [Sci Fi Wire]

that was an unaired season 1 episode

That's pretty moronic. Not only did it confuse people, but it had this incredibly idiotic supernatural thing going. Sure, Fringe is pretty "fringe" and borders on supernatural nonsense, but this episode was simply over the line. More at-least-something-that-resembles-science, less stupid crap.

Fringe given a 3rd Season!

Sci-fi fans who may be concerned about the state of the genre on network TV (we?re looking at you, V and FlashForward) have at least one reason to rejoice: EW has learned exclusively that Fox has picked up Fringe for a third season. Though the show isn?t exactly blowing the roof off of Nielsen ? it?s been averaging just 7.6 million viewers and is ranked No. 50 in the all-important adults 18-49 demographic this season ? it managed to survive in a tough new time period on Thursdays. The show returns with new episodes ? and the promise of more visits from Leonard Nimoy and to the parallel universe ? on April 1.

    • Nvidia GeForce NOW gains support for seven more games as discounts continue by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe There's a brand-new update rolling out to Nvidia's GeForce NOW streaming service, and like every week, that means more games have received support on the platform. This week's drop has additions like Aphelion and Pro Cycling Manager 26 attached to it. Don't forget that the GeForce NOW summer sale is still active too. This limited-time offer drops the 12-month Performance membership from $99.99 to $64.99, saving members $35. At the same time, the 12-month Ultimate membership is currently going for $129.99, dropping the price by $70 from the original $199.99. Moreover, Nvidia reiterated that support for GOG single sign-in and game library is incoming this summer, joining stores like Steam, Ubisoft Connect, Battle.net, and Xbox. "Connect supported game store accounts and stream titles with GeForce RTX power. Games that include cloud-save functionality help keep progress intact across devices," added the company. "Start a game on one screen, pick up where playtime left off on another, and spend less time managing installs and storage space." Here are the games joining GeForce NOW's supported list this week: Embers of the Uncrowned Demo (New release on Steam, available 13) Pro Cycling Manager 26 (New release on Steam, available June 15) Aphelion (Steam) Citizen Sleeper (Epic Game Store, Free from June 18-25) Megastore Simulator (Steam) OPERATOR (Steam) Super Meat Boy 3D (Xbox, available on Game Pass) Keep in mind that, unlike subscription services like Game Pass or EA Play, a copy of a game must be owned by the GeForce NOW member (or at least have a license via PC Game Pass) to start playing via Nvidia's cloud servers. There is also a limit to how many hours subscribers can use the service per month, with extra time being purchasable in chunks.

    • Most AI-powered mainframe migration vendors expected to fail by 2030, Gartner warns by Paul Hill Credit: Pexels You may have read that many companies still run code written in ancient programming languages like COBOL and pay a handsome sum for those who can maintain that code. Well, it looks like this area of the tech world could be the scene of an AI bubble. It turns out that there are mainframe exit vendors, helping companies move their legacy mainframe systems to modern cloud environments or servers such as Microsoft Azure and AWS, using generative AI tooling. Unfortunately, 75% of these vendors are now expected to pivot or cease operations as market realities take hold by 2030. Alessandro Galimberti from Gartner said: Some of the companies in the mainframe exit market are IBM, 21CS, BMC, Broadcom, Rocket Software, DXC, GTSG, and Kyndryl. The reasons some of these firms are expected to quit the market are a reset of market expectations and a decline in demand for one-size-fits-all migration solutions. The reset in expectations is likely to be driven by cost overruns and threats to business, and the potential occurrence of critical failures within businesses as a result of bad transition implementations. These insights from Gartner are pretty interesting because it’s a specific area of the market where doubt is being cast on generative AI. Many people have cast doubt on whether AI companies will successfully justify the massive amounts spent on GenAI to date, and this data from Gartner suggests the road could be rocky for GenAI.
