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.

    • Report: iPhone Air isn't dead, and a second-generation model is planned for 2027

      I'd say the first one failed to be as popular as Apple anticipated, but the easy adjustment here is to make fewer of them next time around. It would only be a "flop" if it isn't possible for Apple to recover the design and factory tooling costs given the number of units sold, which I doubt would be the case. It isn't like no one bought them; it just failed to become the new hot phone of the year.
    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones

      You're right that it does not follow the plain meaning of the word, but in this context, it is a legal term defined in 49 U.S.C. Kind of how "wire fraud" laws apply even if a physical wire was not used. Given that it is codified in law, and it isn't just automotive journalists that don't understand evolving technology, I highly doubt congress would change a well understood term just because technology makes the term slightly less actuate.

      This is exactly why I keep saying we are not ready for human free self-driving. These little "bugs" are may seem like random one-offs. There was also the Waymo that drove between police with drawn weapons and the suspect they were pointing them at. From a software perspective it is easy to understand how those extremely rare situations may not have been programed for, but that is the point. If AI needs to be told to watch out for every possible contingency, then it can never be successful. There will always be the possibility of a first encounter that the AI needs to understand to avoid.
