I don't know. I've been wondering how Nielsen calculates stuff in the digital age. I use to be an advocate of Nielsen ratings, but with more and more things digital, I think we need a new ratings system. But, I have no clue what it should be and how it would work :p

One thing is for sure, there's too many shows that get canned because of poor ratings. Pushing Daisies, Fringe, Dollhouse, Tera Nova, Dead Like Me, Heroes, etc.

That was a bit ho-hum compared to the last two episodes. It also didn't feel like it was part of a finale.

So they changed Bell's involvement, or lack thereof, when Oliva escaped from the other side. So how did Olivia escape?! Bah.

And Jones' death... What the heck? Fall on wires and you're electrecuted?!

Actually,

fall on wires and hit antenna base => electrocuted. On a side note, noticed how half of him got destroyed/pulverized - it seems there are still traces of the pre-machine-activation universe

And? Surely hitting wires and the antenna base, both of which had no damage and were are already connected and touching, wouldn't electrocute someone. On the off chance that it even could under the right conditions, not do it so easily as happened on the show. The death was so poorly portrayed for someone of such importance, nay, for anyone who was supposed to die by that point in the episode. It lacked any imaginative thought whatsoever.

Wasn't it estabilshed that David Robert Jones DNA is unstable due to all of the teleporting and crossing universes in earlier seasons, Hence his scared appearance and that would account for his desolving once electrocuted?

You're thinking of William Bell. Still, electrocution? From that little fall? Really!?

Deaths on Fringe don't really affect me anymore. They can always bring back characters from the other universe, and alternate universe, or some other anomaly :rofl:.

True :laugh: But I like her character more than Captain Lincoln Lee (who's death I didn't really care about) and the other Astrid :p

What about "Hello old friend". Pretty sure that was taken right from the new Star Trek movie, or maybe just coincidence?

That's been in a lot of movies. I mean Crossing the Streams is just well, you know.... from Ghostbusters. It can't be from anywhere else. lol.

wtf is that voice saying right at the end?

According to one of the YouTube comments, the voice says "It is impossible." backwards.

I was genuinely surprised to see that

William Bell was behind it all. I didn't think for once that he'd play the bad guy.

    • Why you need to take back control of your synced passwords and how to go about doing that

      By Steven P. · Posted

      I hear you on browser password manager, in my case I have two Google profiles, one was created when Google decided to grandfather us out of Workspace for Domains (with the replacement being too expensive for 25 users) resulting in my domain email address no longer being able to be registered to a new Workspace I created (for myself and another co-owner) so I could use Takeout and sync over some stuff to the new Workspace. Then I have my personal Google profile which I could be logged into on my desktop or Mobile, so I am saving passwords on one or the other, and when an URL changes another password for the same service gets added, it basically ends up being a giant mess. Unless I missed something is there a local decent password manager that can override the browser password managers for Chrome, Edge, Firefox (profiles) so that there is only one vault, and does that also support Passkeys (which to me are still confusing because sometimes it will ask for a Passkey on a phone I am no longer using!) Microsofts implementation of Passkeys is the worst!

      It's utterly baffling that we have no idea when we'll get new features even well after they've been released. Why Microsoft thinks this is a good rollout strategy is beyond me.

    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      By M. Murcek · Posted

      I owned a lot of Soundblaster cards over the years all the way back to the ISA slot era. I use a Soundblaster X3 external now because I'm able to run it through a KVM and have it follow the machine I happen to be using. It drives a set of JBL 305 powered monitors wonderfully. I'm not gaming or doing home theater through it, so rear channels aren't a consideration for me, though it does have side / rear / sub outputs.

      I disagree that using browser based password managers is a bad idea, your passwords are encrypted by the OS password, but they also be synchronized to make them helpful. I would also use a password manager extension that supports MFA TOTP and Passkeys to manage the account that synchronizes the data. Ente is 100% free and allows you to vault important information, has password vault support, and supports 2FA TOTP support, I just don’t believe, it has a browser extension.
