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.

    • Windows 11 gets new audio improvements in the latest builds

      Each of the devices displayed on this page now has a little volume meter next to it to show if there is audio actively playing. About time.

      Owing to the nature of Windows feature enablement updates, it was distributed over Windows Update services as a complete system upgrade rather than as an ordinary cumulative update

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2, urges IT admins to prepare for release

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2, urges IT admins to prepare for release by Usama Jawad Windows 11 typically follows an annual update cycle, but Microsoft recently broke that tradition a bit by releasing a "26H1" version in the first half of this year as a "scoped" build for select new silicon PCs only. This version was not available for customers using 24H2 and 25H2 builds, as Microsoft is busy preparing version 26H2 for them, confirmed officially for the first time. In a Windows IT Pro blog, Microsoft has urged IT admins to prepare for the upcoming release of Windows 11 version 26H2. The company has confirmed that this will be a small enablement package (eKB) that will simply light up certain disabled features that are already present in the operating system's code base. This means that the "refined" Windows update and deployment experience will be simpler and quicker, with minimal disruptions, as the feature update will simply toggle a few flags rather than performing a complete replacement. Microsoft has explained that this is all possible because the standard Windows 11 releases share the same servicing branch and hence, the same source code. However, this also means that Windows 11 26H1 users won't be able to upgrade to 26H2 as that is a different branch, but this is something we have known for a while now. Similar to previous annual feature updates, Windows 11 26H2 will offer the following support cycles: 24 months of support for Home, Pro, Pro EDU, and Pro for Workstations editions 36 months of support for Enterprise, Education, IoT Enterprise, and Enterprise Multi-session editions Microsoft has not confirmed a concrete release date for Windows 11 26H2, but noted that it is "coming soon". If we go by the ongoing release cadence, we can expect it to begin rolling out in early October 2026. As such, IT admins have been encouraged to begin validating Windows Insider releases in the Experimental Channel, plan rollout rings, and strategize the utilization of their existing deployment tools.

      Windows 11 gets new audio improvements in the latest builds by Taras Buria Today's Experimental builds (26H1 and Future Platforms, formerly Canary) pack several audio-related improvements. If your device is enrolled in the Experimental Channel (26H1), you can download build 28120.2315, while those in the Future Platforms version have build 29613.1000 to try. Here is what is new in build 29613.1000: [Audio] Following up on our previous improvements, we’re making some more adjustments to Settings > System > Sounds based on your feedback. Namely, we’ve updated the “All sound devices” page so: You now have the ability to change default devices from this page. Each of the devices displayed on this page now has a little volume meter next to it to show if there is audio actively playing. We’ve adjusted the page design slightly so now you can filter whether you’re viewing input or output devices. We’ve added toggles so you can choose if you want to hide or show disabled, disconnected, and unplugged devices on this page. We’ve also updated the input and output audio properties page for devices in Settings to now include jack information for those that need it. And here is the changelog for build 28120.2315: This update includes a small number of minor bug fixes and improvements. [Accessibility] This update improves caption style responsiveness by redrawing captions immediately for caption style changes. If no current caption is visible, a sample caption string is displayed. [Audio] This update improves the reliability of the inbox HD Audio driver. You can find the official release notes for build 28120.2315 here and for build 29613.1000 here.
