What a perfect setup for the 5th season. We'll have a far more tech-supported Fringe Division like in the other universe, and they know that the Observers are going to try to take over. Just a shame that we have to wait until the fall to start watching it again! So, does that mean that the opening sequence will go back to the usual blue instead of the amber?

I thought the finale was good but not great. It just felt more like a setup episode for the final season than a big final for this season. Maybe I guess it could've been more epic, I think that future ep we got took something out of it for me. Thanks to that the whole part at the end with Liv and Peter wasn't a surprise at all since we knew it was coming anyways, etc.

I've read a lot people say this on other sites. It makes me wonder if they were more prepared for a series finale and then they got a finale season and had to throw something together last minute?

I know the EPs have said that they didn't film anything else, but that doesn't mean they didn't write something else to wrap it all up. For example, Astrid getting shot was very anti-climatic. Some of the storylines, like that one, felt rushed.

Yeah, that's kinda how it felt to me like we were getting close to a series final this time but then close to the end they got the green light for season 5 and they had to scale back these last two episodes. At least season 5 will be short so it doesn't get drawn out.

Them jumping onto the ship felt rushed and stupid. The Dialog inside the helicopter was pretty bad.

I agree, that whole helicopter bit was bad, felt like they just come up with it on short notice, too corny.

I think that the finale was written as a series finale. I suspect the flash forward episode was thrown in once they found out they'd get another season. If it had been a final episode it was good, predictable, but good. I hope the entire final season is a spin off of the single future based episode, that was a lot of fun to watch.

With the way Olivia was acting in the end I thought she'd reverted to the 'modified' Olivia that didn't remember Peter. They had been talking that she'd 'returned to normal', so I was fully expecting that to happen. Hell, it still might happen. Who knows.

That said... that ending. ABRAM'D. A season finale reminiscent of LOST, heh. I can't wait for the rest!

The season finale was really good. I was a bit surprised when

Olivia was shot in the head. Also, I wonder where William Bell went. He seemed a little unaffected about what happened. I'm sure he was disappointed but he really took it well. I wonder if he has another plan in case his main plan failed. As for the observers, I can't imagine how they're going to stop them.

    • 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.
