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.

    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order by Pradeep Viswanathan In April this year, Anthropic launched the Claude Mythos Preview frontier model with state-of-the-art cyber and coding capabilities for a select set of companies around the world. After preparing appropriate guardrails, early this week, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its most capable AI models. Claude Fable 5 is for general users and comes with strict safeguards, while Mythos 5 is designed with fewer safeguards for cybersecurity and biology use cases. Today, Anthropic abruptly suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all customers after receiving an export control directive from the US government. The company received the directive from the government today at 5:21 p.m. ET, and the received letter did not provide any details regarding the national security concern. Anthropic understands that the government became aware of a method to bypass, or “jailbreak,” Fable 5, which might be the reason behind the directive. The order was issued under national security authorities and requires the company to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether they are inside or outside the United States. The restriction also applies to foreign national employees working at Anthropic. As a result, the company has disabled both models for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to previous Anthropic models like Opus and Sonnet is not affected by this government order. The company highlighted that it had developed strong safeguards to reduce the possibility that Fable is misused for tasks related to cybersecurity. In fact, many developers are complaining that the safeguards are going overboard. Additionally, the company worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations, and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours. Finally, Anthropic noted that no testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak on Fable 5. As expected, Anthropic disagrees that a narrow potential jailbreak should lead to the recall of a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. It warned that applying this standard across the AI industry could effectively halt new frontier model deployments. Anthropic concluded by mentioning that it is working to restore access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 as soon as possible and plans to share more details within the next 24 hours.

    • Not sure what country you’re in but in many countries you can absolutely jail the sellers behind businesses… in fact I’d say in most countries you can do that
    • I guess we are done since you refuse to read my comment you replied to or my other comment in another thread you were also a part of here.
