To me it was pretty obvious that it wasn’t *Olivia* after the grenade went off after when William Bell was unconscious

Same here, I finally got around to watching it. Decent finale with Olivia sadly in Walternate's prison (Y) :(

I really hope Nimoy comes back for the next season in some form.

I'd say he will probably in a flash back.. or something.. it's like we didn't expect Charlie back at all. lol.

A scene cut from the Fringe season finale is available as a "Ford exclusive." Which makes sense, considering it's mostly product placement for the Taurus. But don't be fooled - there are clues about Violet Sedan Chair here too.

Great finale, but honestly how did they not realise that it wasn't Olivia

Yeah, I have a little problem with that, too - (after returning (with Broyles somehow knowing when they would show up)) "Boy! That was weird! Well, gotta go - see ya! Umm, where do I live?" I only started watching with season two, but, for Fringe, certain aspects of the two-part-finale seemed a bit on the weak side (starting with the previous episode's seemingly simple crossing over for Walternate and Peter).

What would be a twist is that we're being duped - the switcheroo was NOT successful. Maybe Fringe got enough intel to begin to infiltrate the alt-universe's operations from this side, with Olivia posing as Altivia over here, and Altivia in trouble with Walternate over there for botching up the switch and/or losing Peter (Olivia/Altivia and Walternate didn't really say much at the holding cell that would discount this). Dunno, this show seems to be too young, and the writers too creative to be resorting to the old evil-twin-switcheroo ploy, even if it is Fringe-style.

They didn't realize it wasn't her because they both looked pretty much identical (thanks to the real Olivia's disguise).

Yeah, but I think the point CCoil was trying to make is that the two worlds are so different that Altlivia couldn't have known enough to not give it away.

Yes, she must've got out of the theater pretty quick, without saying much (if it was Altivia). You would figure Broyles would want some details, and she's the only real FBI agent of those three. I'm sure Peter wouldn't have just let her leave after their exchange in the alt-universe.

speaking on Olivia-

The only real differences is the tattoo on the other world -- but I would almost bet that it is going to be her niece that exposes her.. (just a big hunch) When she gives the alternate Olivia the necklace back and the alternate does not respond back. However the alternate only knows the name of counterpart (the real Olivia's) niece but does not know what she looks like. The alternate Olivia could probably fake it with Peter since she had some knowledge that the two of them had a relationship or that she might actually fall in love with Peter and expose herself and hope that Peter will take her.

Though I found the death of the three people who crossed over was a surprise.

Walternate has the orignal olivia captive, looking at the tech on the other side dont you feel walternate can feed Altivia all the info she needs to survive the disguise.

Though the alter olivia-- may actually fall in love with the niece and decide to free our Olivia so she can reunite the two of them together--- I still say she won't be able to fool the child... perter maybe with all the world jumping......though they may surprise us even more. or she may miss her mother and want to go home.

    • Rockstar gives last-gen GTA V players free upgrades tomorrow

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Rockstar gives last-gen GTA V players free upgrades tomorrow by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Rockstar is preparing to launch Grand Theft Auto VI later this year, but ahead of that, the company has revealed a new offer for some Grand Theft Auto V owners. It today announced that Xbox One and PlayStation 4 version owners of the 2013-released title will soon be receiving a free upgrade to the current generation version. The studio released the Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 version of Grand Theft Auto V back in 2022, bringing significant upgrades to the original console editions. This included 60 FPS gameplay at up to 4K resolution, as well as major upgrades to textures, draw distance, and audio. Faster load times, ray tracing elements, and HDR support were also added with it. While this new and enhanced version needed a new purchase of the game to jump in, now Rockstar has decided to make it a free upgrade, dropping the $40 price tag entirely on consoles. "Beginning tomorrow, those who own any PS4 version or the digital Xbox One version of Grand Theft Auto V will be able to upgrade to the PS5 or Xbox Series X|S versions at no additional cost, and experience the best versions of GTA V and GTA Online," said the company in an official blog post. The free upgrade offer will be released tomorrow, June 18, for all Xbox One and PlayStation 4 owners of Grand Theft Auto V. Players who will be jumping in on the offer will want to check how to migrate their GTA Online profile from last-generation to current-generation consoles by heading over here. The offer lands ahead of The Kortz Center Heist hitting Grand Theft Auto Online, where players and crews will be tasked with stealing priceless international art from a prestigious gallery in Pacific Bluffs. It doesn't look like Rockstar plans to stop updating its previous game even with Grand Theft Auto VI being on the horizon. The latest title is slated to launch on November 19, 2026, across Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5.

      By Copernic · Posted

      Rufus 4.15.2391 Beta by Razvan Serea Rufus is a small utility that helps format and create bootable USB flash drives, such as USB keys/pendrives, memory sticks, etc. Despite its small size, Rufus provides everything you need! Oh, and Rufus is fast. For instance it's about twice as fast as UNetbootin, Universal USB Installer or Windows 7 USB download tool, on the creation of a Windows 7 USB installation drive from an ISO (with honorable mention to WiNToBootic for managing to keep up). It is also marginally faster on the creation of Linux bootable USBs from ISOs. A non-exhaustive list of Rufus supported ISOs is available here. It can be especially useful for cases where: you need to create USB installation media from bootable ISOs (Windows, Linux, UEFI, etc.) you need to work on a system that doesn't have an OS installed you need to flash a BIOS or other firmware from DOS you want to run a low-level utility Rufus 4.15.2391 Beta changelog: Improve the guards for using the "silent" option Improve the ability to cancel during write retries Fix unrestricted XML entity expansion and integer overflow in ezxml parser (courtesy of @esadowski4) [GHSA-55r2-34wg-8mv9] Fix "silent" Windows installation failing at 75% in most cases [#2960] Fix a crash during boot when using UEFI:NTFS on Snapdragon X based ARM64 platforms [#2934] Fix the first WUE option always being checked by default [#2965] Fix an infinite loop when using Windows ISOs that contain multiple WIMs Fix "Enable runtime UEFI media validation" checkbox not always being properly enabled Other WUE improvements/fixes for OneDrive removal and username validation (with thanks to @christian8641) [#2984, #2991] Download: Rufus 4.15 Beta | 1.9 MB (Open Source) Links: Rufus Home Page | Project Page @GitHub | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware

      Media Player Classic - Home Cinema 2.7.3 by Razvan Serea Media Player Classic - Home Cinema (MPC-HC) is a free and open-source video and audio player for Windows. MPC-HC is based on the original Guliverkli project (which is no longer maintained) and contains many additional features and bug fixes. As the continuation of the original Media Player Classic, MPC-HC isn’t flashy but it works with nearly any media format. MPC-HC uses DXVA technology to pass decoding operations to your modern video card, enhancing your viewing experience. And MPC-HC supports both physical and software DVDs with menus, chapter navigation, and subtitles. Overview of features A lot of people seem to be unaware of some of the awesome features that have been added to MPC-HC in the past years. Here is a list of useful options and features that everyone should know about: Dark interface Menu > View > Dark Theme When using dark theme it is also possible to change the height of the seekbar and size of the toolbar buttons. Options > Advanced Video preview on the seekbar Options > Tweaks > Show preview on seek bar Adjust playback speed Menu > Play > Playback rate The buttons in the player that control playback rate take a 2x step by default. This can be customized to smaller values (like 10%): Options > Playback > Speed step Adjusting playback speed works best with the internal audio renderer. This also has automatic pitch correction. Options > Playback > Output > Audio Renderer MPC-HC can remember playback position, so you can resume from that point later Options > Player > History You can quickly seek through a video with Ctrl + Mouse Scrollwheel. You can jump to next/previous file in a folder by pressing PageUp/PageDown. You can perform automatic actions at end of file. For example to go to next file or close player. Options > Playback > After Playback (permanent setting) Menu > Play > After Playback (for current file only) A-B repeat - You can loop a segment of a video. Press [ and ] to set start and stop markers. You can rotate/flip/mirror/stretch/zoom the video Menu > View > Pan&Scan This is also easily done with hotkeys (see below). There are lots of keyboard hotkeys and mouse actions to control the player. They can be customized as well. Options > Player > Keys Tip: there is a search box above the table. You can stream videos directly from Youtube and many other video websites You can stream videos directly from Youtube and many other video websites Put yt-dlp.exe or youtube-dl.exe in the MPC-HC installation folder. Then you can open website URLs in the player: Menu > File > Open File/URL You can even download those videos: Menu > File > Save a copy Tip: to be able to download in best quality with yt-dlp/youtube-dl, it is recommended to also put ffmpeg.exe in the MPC-HC folder. Several YDL configuration options are found here: Options > Advanced This includes an option to specify the location of the .exe in case you don't want to put it in MPC-HC folder. Play HDR video This requires using madVR or MPC Video Renderer. After installation these renderers can be selected here: Options > Playback > Output Ability to search for and download subtitles, either automatically or manually (press D): Options > Subtitles > Misc Besides all these (new) features, there have also been many bugfixes and internal improvements in the player in the past years that give better performance and stability.
