I couldn't wait. Torrent'd it. The Anti-Matter part was awesome.

So how did Peter know about his Daughter? He was never told that Faulivia was pregnant. I guess also, special appearance by William Bell. Now I wonder what happend that night at the stage (when Olivia and the others were sent back, but Bell had to sacrifice himself to open the portal). How did he end up the Ember?

This is basically a new story line that's different from the old one you are talking about. When Peter came back everything that happened in his story line didn't for the most part in the current one.

Fauxolivia had a son.

And remember, Henrietta at some point during this episode told the other agent that the last time she's seen her parents was when she was four so obviously Olivia and Peter knew about her (they just never saw her grow up)

Bloody knew it was going to be a two parter or not be a one off. Great episode though!

it is not a 2 parter it is a one episode thing it is there 19th episode where they just do something crazy that has not much ties to the main story arc even tho i has observers still is just a one episode thing the promo for next week takes place now

So you wrote the upcoming episodes? You know definitively that they won't return to this storyline? I find it hard to believe that they did this episode and it means nothing. Why waste the money and the time telling this storyline if it means absolutely nothing?

Is it totally out of the realm of possibility that they'll start jumping back and forth, like Lost? Things happening now and then have ripple effects. We're seeing what might happen if things are stopped now. It has a lot to do with the main story and I doubt it was done for no reason.

I find it extremely hard to believe that this episode was simply a "filler" and that they now will return to the main story in the "past".

No way was that a filler episode, especially with the way that it ended with her just hugging Peter and calling him Dad. No explanation as to what William Bell did to Olivia. Nor how they intended to stop the Observers.

Did you watch the previews? Obviously not. They are going back to the David Robert Jones storyline for the last two episodes of this season. The 'Letters of Transit' storyline is supposedly what they want to do for Season 5. If they get a Season 5.

Did you not read what I wrote? Obviously not. :rolleyes: Just because the ads show only the present doesn't mean it won't show anything from 2036 now does it? And, you stated my point, they will eventually return to that storyline, even if it isn't this season. He said it was a one time thing, like they'll never followup on it.

... it is a one episode thing ...

One thing I was wondering during the episode was, "What about the other side?"

It seems that Jones succeeds in merging the two universes, as we saw in next weeks' preview. This may help explain how William Bell was alive, though they'll probably have something else to bring him back.... again.

Spoilers added for those that treat previews as spoilers.

I don't know if there is any significance to this, but the observer that was punched bent over and let out a grunt. I always assumed a physical altercation with an observer would have negligible effects. A few seasons back, Peter tackled September from behind, and while Peter was rolling on the ground from the momentum, September merely popped right back up with no indication of being tackled. Again, there may not be any significance, but given the vast amount of observers, maybe some are stronger than others...?

I believe you're correct about the universes being merged. Which leads to your next point about the observer being punched. I don't think these are the same observers as September and company. Those in 2036 seem a lot more aggressive. Even those that we've seen in the past wouldn't mess with the natural course of things, and they certainly wouldn't kill. Now they're taking over the planet and don't seem to have a problem with killing.

And they get drunk off water! What is with that?

Catched up with last weeks episode and I really enjoyed it (opening credits were ace). Hoping to see more being revealed from this timeline in future episodes with Peter's daughter and the ruthless Observers (Y)

This is good news no matter what universe or timeline you live in: Fox has renewed Fringe for a fifth and final 13-episode season.

Back in January, Fox president Kevin Reilly conceded that Fringe?s low ratings were negatively impacting the network?s bottom line. ?We lose a lot of money on the show,? he said. ?At that rating, on [Friday] night, its impossible to make money. We?re not in the business of losing money.?

But Fringe remains a passion project for Reilly. And Warner Bros. ? eager for the J.J. Abrams thriller to reach that magic, syndication-enhancing 100 episode threshold ? agreed to reduce the show?s license fee (i.e. the amount the studio charges the network for each episode).

?Fringe is a remarkably creative series that has set the bar as one of television?s most imaginative dramas,? Reilly said in a statement Thursday. ?Bringing it back for a final 13 allows us to provide the climactic conclusion that its passionate and loyal fans deserve. The amazing work the producers, writers and the incredibly talented cast and crew have delivered the last four seasons has literally been out of this world. Although the end is bittersweet, it?s going to be a very exciting final chapter.?

Producers were prepared for either outcome. John Noble (Walter) recently told TVLine that the May 11 finale could serve as a season or series finale. ?We?ve shot two [endings],? he said.

Joshua Jackson, meanwhile, hinted that ?the door to the fifth season? was opened in last Friday?s episode, which took place in the year 2036 and featured a ?game-changing battle? between the Fringe team and the Observers. ?If you watch that, you?ll have an understanding of where they want to take the series.?

You may also find a clue or two in the following Season 5 trailer, which accompanied Thursday?s announcement.

    • Microsoft will soon allow some users to block Copilot from analyzing their Office files

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft will soon allow some users to block Copilot from analyzing their Office files by Usama Jawad Microsoft Purview is a pretty useful data governance, security, and management service that allows customers to gain enhanced visibility and control over their content. It's meant for commercial customers, such as organizations that are storing data at scale. As AI continues to expand and infiltrate every corner of a firm, many are a bit conscious about the technology gaining access to their confidential data. Microsoft is now making a configuration change that will allow such customers to rest easy. Right now, users within an organization have the option to apply Purview sensitivity labels (when available) to secure certain files and label them as such. For example, if you apply the "Confidential" label on an Excel file, the file will be encrypted, and a "confidential" watermark will be applied to it. So, if this file is shared with anyone, they are aware that its access is supposed to be restricted. Up until now, Microsoft was allowing some connected experiences, like its AI services, to analyze files, regardless of their sensitivity label. This is of major concern to most organizations, as a recent example highlighted how confidential emails with data loss prevention (DLP) policies like privacy labels were being uploaded to Copilot for analysis. As such, Microsoft is updating an existing Purview data label sensitivity setting that prevents "some connected experiences that analyze content", from being blocked completely from doing this. The label isn't changing, but the blocking is now being enforced across all connected services (including Copilot and other AI tools), and now extends to Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Files with the label applied already will get this enhancement automatically too once it becomes available. Microsoft has urged IT admins to inform their respective helpdesk and compliance teams, update internal documentation, and review sensitivity labels to ensure that they meet their respective compliance needs. This change is tagged as MC1297982 in the Message Center. General availability is scheduled to begin in a phased manner soon and will complete by the end of next month. That said, it is important to note that this only applies to commercial customers who have a license that allows them to use Purview.

    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows

      By sphbecker · Posted

      All versions is correct. The bug appears on any version of Windows with KB5094126 installed. It's a little insane to expect the author to explain that systems that can't possibly have that patch installed, will not experience the bug. If you have any gripe about the title, it would be that it doesn't mention the update at all, but I wouldn't agree with that either. A title is not expected to be a full summery of the article.
