Fortunately, the ratings don't 100% determine the fate of the show. The production company may try to cut a deal with the network so they can bump up the episode total to 100 and get some of that sweet, sweet syndication money. It might not work, but it's the end of March and they haven't definitively said it's done at the end of the season, so that's encouraging.
As for the latest episode:
I was wondering if they'd get around to explaining what the beacon was. They may not have gone terribly in-depth, but at least they didn't totally forget about it like some other shows might have.

I'm really happy that Peter has his hands on some Observer technology. I wonder if we'll get some crazy reverse-engineering based plots.

I wonder how long before
Other people start to reclaim their original memories, and if Jones already knew what was going on.

Don't blame Gaeta. That chick tricked him with her carnal manipulations and he fell right into her vagenda.
That boat at the end sure was creepy. I guess without Peter they didn't stop the Chinese medicine gang or kill that spliced-up monster that mated with Charlie.

The alternate universe is a strange place, indeed. I'm astonished that they made a whole stack of props for that one gag... or that you can already buy that stuff.
I thought it was interesting how the "restored" Walter seemed halfway been Walter and Walternate. He definitely seemed more eccentric than the Walternate we've seen, but also more calculating than Walter normally is. Disintegrating the Massive Dynamic building was pretty amazing.
I'm really curious why the future overlord Observers are more emotional than regular historian Observers.
I did like Henrietta from what we've seen of her, but trading Desmond for Peter is never a trade I'll be happy with. Or losing Olivia, for that matter.
I liked realistic CG Leonard Nimoy a lot more than weird sort of cell-shaded CG Leonard Nimoy. But, I can't help but feel like they could've done so much more with the William Bell character if he'd been played by a younger actor who wasn't mostly-retired.
And why isn't Bell dead? I'm pretty sure they mentioned that he'd died in the current timeline.
Low ratings be damned — cult favorite Fringe will finish its multi-universe journey with a 13-episode final season. As expected, Fox has closed a deal to renew the sci-fi drama for a fifth season. While a dismal ratings performer in live viewing, Fringe has been a big DVR gainer and a favorite of critics as well as Fox brass. “Fringe has been a point of pride for me, I share the fans’ passion for the show,” Fox entertainment president Kevin Reilly said in January at TCA, where he also made it clear that a renewal hinged on renegotiating the deal with producing studio Warner Bros TV and J.J. Abrams’ Bad Robot at a lower license fee. “We lose a lot of money on the show,” Reilly said. “We are not in the business of losing money, so we’re trying to figure out if there a number at which we can continue with the series.” After lengthy negotiations over the past couple of months, the two sides came to an agreement, giving the show and its fans a proper ending. “We are thrilled and beyond grateful that Fox – and our fans – have made the impossible possible: Fringe will continue into a fifth season that will allow the series to conclude in a wild and thrilling way,” series co-creator/executive producer JJ Abrams said.

That's pretty good news. I'm much happier with being given a full season to finish the stories, than worry about things like what happened with Firefly, or Farscape.

I'm not crazy about "science can't explain love" but overall it was another great Fringe episode.

Also, this show fell to a .9 in the ratings last night.
Fuck.

But I'm still happy to see him.
Nice throwback.
Shitty way to move forward.
Also yeah, fuck Gaeta.
I love Walter.
wish we could see more interaction between Walter and Walternate
it's weird seeing Nina desperate. "Jones will come for me"? really, Nina?
also next week
I haven't seen the "next week" preview but...
