Yeah, if the ratings stay around or below 3 million, don't expect a 5th season guys. I don't think FOX will extend it again with those numbers being so low at this point. Which is sad, since this is one of the few shows that is actually deep and interesting and doesn't provide "stupid" entertainment as I like to call it these days.

Fringe?s numbers, lastly, live in two worlds: Returning to 3.53 million total viewers and a 1.5 demo rating, there is one universe where the show was down 30 percent from its year-ago premiere. Yet in another universe, those numbers represent increases of 7 and 25 percent from where it left off with its May finale.

Hasn't Fox stated that Fringe is big in the DVR ratings?

I personally think this is the last season for the show anyway, I read somewhere that the series finale has already been written.

I'd rather they end it on a good note with a satisfying ending anyway.

I like the episode but I found some parts a bit confusing. It seemed as though

Fringe division didn't exist anymore in the main universe. About halfway through the episode, Olivia explains to Lee why they can't return the bodies of Fringe-related victims. She said that they'd have to file official documentation which would draw the attention of Fringe division. At first, it seemed as though she was referring to just one Fringe division: the one from the other side.

She means that the document filing would draw attention to the fringe division. The public does not know the fringe division even exists.

Fringe star Anna Torv has supported the notion that the show should end after five years.

Torv's co-star John Noble recently admitted that he expects the Fox sci-fi drama to conclude after a fifth season.

"People have been quoting [series co-creator] JJ [Abrams] for a while saying [that] four or five years is kind of enough," Torv told the Coventry Telegraph. "I tend to agree with him."

The actress added that she has no desire to "run [the series] into the ground".

"If you're doing a straight-up procedural series, I think you can go on, because you've got so many stand-alone episodes," she explained. "Whereas with our show it certainly feels like it's picked up the pace as well."

Torv also admitted that she is uncertain about the likelihood of a Fringe spinoff film, suggesting that the show would not work on the big screen.

"I feel like it's so intricate, it feels like an epic story now," she said. "I don't think it would be a very good film."

There's no reason to draw this type of show out, really we just need to work out this bit with Peter and then it should be over. I honestly don't see why they should do more once the problems with the other side are worked out and the holes are closed/fixed. All of which can happen in this season.

There's a lot more to the show than the other side. They could explain things like who the observers are and why fringe events are occurring. I think the show could continue for at least another season.

Some things are better left unexplained, the observers are one of those things that will probably never be fully explained, and there's no real reason to do so either. Fringe events are going on because of Walter ripping holes to the other side and other experiments he and Bell did in the past, that's all pretty clear right now, I don't see what more we need to know exactly.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • Normally, I admit when a title is clickbait (unfortunately, it's become somewhat necessary in AI-dominated news sections today), but in this case, all supported versions is implied and doesn't need to be spelled out in the title. Of course, I'm covering a Patch Tuesday update but that is only available to supported Windows SKUs. All our coverage relates to supported Windows software and SKUs only unless we expressly state that it's "unsupported", "unofficial", or "third-party". I'm sorry, but supported/official SKUs don't need to be spelled out as such in every Neowin headline.
    • ALL versions or ALL SUPPORTED versions? Neowin does it again.
    • But the reality is it will work for people's needs, and they don't care about the technology that makes it. Clearly not everyone's needs, but that low end space where personal laptops were only used to type emails, watch content and browse websites, but they didn't want to do that on a small screen device. Heck, writing that out I can now see the connection and reason it'll do so well. Apple is about experience. If the experience is bad, they don't release it. Low end Windows laptop manufacturers up until this point have not taken that into consideration ever before, so slow laggy usage with brittle slimey plastic shells were common. I hope that the low end space at least creates better physical products that last a bit longer, and if Microsoft get their act together, they could also have a solid OS on such low end hardware that would actually make the experience work for what the hardware was intended for. The fact that the CPU is a "cellphone", sorry mobile phone processor is irrelevant. It's about the experience, and so far, that sounds quite solid.
    • Hello, Bonjour is Apple's implementation of a multicast-DNS service, which allows devices running Apple's software and/or hardware to find each other on your local network.  I believe the Windows version was last updated around 2010. If you do not need it, you can stop and disable the Bonjour service in the Services Control Manager (filename: SERVICES.MSC).  Once you have done that, the operating system will no longer attempt to load the service.
