I'm thrilled by this, though I can't help but feel that they'll be forced to rush the show's conclusion with only 13 more episodes. Still, it at least has a chance to finish properly and that's reason enough to be happy about this.

That's great news. I'm so happy that they renewed it for a 5th season. Thirteen episodes is obviously better than no episodes at all. Hopefully, they'll make the best use of those episodes.

No matter how many episodes they have they won't be able to please everyone. 22 episodes and people complain that there are too many filler episodes, 13 episodes and others will say it's rushed. I think 13 is a good number; They can advance the story and leave out the filler. Game of Thrones for example has short seasons but every episode is great and advances the story.

But they leave huge portions of the ASoIaF story out of GoT.

They also combine or remove characters. they've moved like 4 characters to season 3 that should have appeared in season 2. I guess we have enough new characters as it is.

Poor Silver...that horse will live on in the books.

That was an ok episode. It really backs down when you have an explosive episode (the future one) and come back to the present.

I thought it was a good setup episode for the two part finale. I noticed that there was one thing we don't normally have, a lot of moments where there was just silence while the characters thought. I liked that, it made the matters they were thinking of feel that much more real.

Come to think of it, yes it was a good setup episode. I didn't know it was going to be a two part finale. lol. Taking that into consideration, yeah, it's still a decent episode.

just read about next season being the final one, that sucks. hoping some other network picks it up but prolly wont happen :(. Luckily writers and viewers are getting a chance to finish the series properly rather than leaving it on some cliffhanger. Was never really into scfi so fringe always seemed like a very creative and original series. Hopefully we get to see more from this team after fringe

I thought this episode was brilliant, very emotionally satisfying, could have served as a finale if the show didn't make another season. Amazing acting from John noble, the scene between the two walters at the end was so great.

Agreed, the two Walters at the end having a chat together was moving.

This would be awesome...

From TVLine.com:

Fringe | Now that we are for sure getting a fifth (albeit final) season, here?s one face you might see pop up in the show?s forever twisty universe: Robin Williams. TV?s erstwhile Mork, who after a long string of big screen outings has in recent years guested on Law & Order: SVU, Louie and, coming up, Wilfred, says Fox?s sci-fi series is at the top of his list to visit next. ?My god, Fringe would be amazing,? he told me at the Comedy Awards, where he was honored as a Stand-Up Icon. (Williams also is high on Homeland, though frankly we can only see his bearded self playing Mandy Patinkin?s twin brother.) In fact, the funny man is game to join a TV series on a full-time basis. ?F?in? A, yeah, I?d do it ? if it was fun,? he said.

---

I thought Williams' performance in SVU was brilliant. I've never liked his brand of slapstick comedy, and it has only gotten worse over the years, but his serious roles, like in the film One Hour Photo and Insomnia, are brilliant. He's great at playing the crazy guy. I'd love to see him join Fringe as a bad guy.

I don't get it. Two episodes ago Jones was trying to kill the link between the two worlds. But now they are doing it themselves voluntarily? I understand they think they are doing it to save the worlds but something is not as it seems.

Also glad to hear the show will get a proper conclusion.

I thought Jones wanted Broyles to place a device on the machine that connected the two universes. Do we actually know what that device was going to be used for?

We don't, it could have been an alternate plan for his goal of combining the universes. Jones was a guy to always have a backup plan.

    • This is how much iPhone 18 Pro could cost after Apple's price hike confirmed

      By Phillip0web · Posted

      They aren't going to want to. Most would just go with the 17 Pro and save money. Why would they want to spend $300 for basically the same thing? It's not worth it if there are hardly any changes from year to year.
    • Windows 11 version 26H2 is now available for testing in the latest preview build

      By Steven P. · Posted

      24H2 rolled out to the Release Preview Channel in early June 2024, so this coming a bit later in the Experimental Channel (formerly Dev) doesn't really say much more than earlier H2 releases that came out in October. I am not sure what the thinking is here by putting it in Experimental, one would think that the 26H2 stamp means features are locked down and it's now bug tested until October? I don't even pretend to understand Microsoft's strategy for Windows Insider Program though
    • Nothing Ear (a) and CMF Buds Pro 2 with active noise cancellation drop to lowest price ever

      By Fiza Ali · Posted

      Nothing Ear (a) and CMF Buds Pro 2 with active noise cancellation drop to lowest price ever by Fiza Ali With Prime Day 2026 scheduled to run from Tuesday 23 to Friday 26 June, Amazon has already begun rolling out early access offers ahead of the main event. Particularly, Nothing Ear (a) and CMF Buds Pro 2 wireless earbuds have dropped to their lowest price ever with limited Prime deal offering 33% and 24% discounts, respectively. Nothing Ear (a) are equipped with 11mm dynamic drivers featuring a PM1 + TPU diaphragm. For noise control, the earbuds offer active noise cancellation (ANC) of up to 45dB across frequencies reaching 5,000Hz. The smart ANC algorithm adapts to surrounding noise levels, while a Transparency Mode allows users to remain aware of their environment when needed. Connectivity is handled via Bluetooth 5.3, with support for AAC, SBC, and LDAC audio codecs. Additional features include IP54-rated earbuds for dust and splash resistance, paired with an IPX2-rated charging case. Furthermore, users also benefit from pinch controls, in-ear detection, Google Fast Pair, Microsoft Swift Pair, dual-device connectivity, and a low-latency mode designed for gaming and video playback. The Nothing X app unlocks a range of customisation options, including a personalised equaliser, bass enhancement, control remapping, ear tip fit testing, firmware updates, dual-device management, a Find My Earbuds feature, and low-latency mode settings. When it comes to the battery, the earbuds house a 46mAh lithium-ion battery, while the charging case contains a 500mAh cell. With ANC disabled, users can expect up to 9.5 hours of playback from the earbuds and up to 42.5 hours in total with the charging case. With ANC enabled, battery life is rated at up to 5.5 hours per charge and up to 24.5 hours combined with the case. Finally, fast charging is also supported that should provide up to 10 hours of playback from a 10-minute charge with ANC turned off. Nothing Ear (a) Wireless Earbuds (Black): $53.20 (Amazon US) - 33% The CMF Buds Pro 2 feature a dual-driver audio system consisting of an 11mm bass driver and a 6mm micro-planar tweeter. The earbuds use PU (polyurethane) and PET (polyethylene terephthalate) titanium-coated diaphragms and are tuned by Nothing to deliver balanced audio performance. They further support active noise cancellation of up to 50dB across a frequency range of up to 5,000Hz, and noise control features include a Smart ANC algorithm, Adaptive ANC, Transparency Mode, and Clear Voice Technology 2.0. For calls, the CMF Buds Pro 2 use a total of six microphones and feature an environmental noise-cancelling algorithm, Clear Voice Technology 3.0, and Wind Noise Reduction 3.0 that should improve voice clarity during conversations. Furthermore, when it comes to the connectivity, it is provided through Bluetooth 5.4. Additional features include an IP55 rating for dust and water resistance, Google Fast Pair, Microsoft Swift Pair, in-ear detection, a low-latency mode, and a Find My Earbuds function. Moreover, through the Nothing X app for Android and iOS, users can access custom EQ settings, a bass enhancement algorithm, customisable controls, Find My Earbuds, low-latency mode, dual-device connectivity, an ear tip fit test, and firmware updates. The earbuds contain a 60mAh rechargeable lithium-ion battery, while the charging case houses a 460mAh battery. A full charge of the earbuds and case via USB-C should take approximately 85 minutes, while the earbuds alone should be fully recharged in the case in around 60 minutes. Battery life is rated at up to 11 hours of playback on a single charge and up to 43 hours with the charging case when ANC is turned off. With ANC enabled, playback time is reduced to up to 6.5 hours on the earbuds and up to 26 hours with the charging case.

      The entire world moved to the vastly superior and now universally supported Dolby Atmos technology a very long time ago, mate.
