If the action of Walter and Michael led to Observers not existing then wouldn't Peter have died in the ice as a chikl when Walter was bringing him from the alternate universe to the regular? September was an observer who saved Peter but he would no longer exist so Peter would die and not ever meet Olivia never mind have a child with her. 

I just arrived here in searcb, perhaps too late, for an answer to a very strange question. Fitting, I think, considering the subject matter. I want to know what your theories are on why nearly all the numbers used in Fringe are part of the 147 pattern. I'm talking EVERYWHERE. The clocks, license plates, buildings, statistics, conversations, you name it. Some version of 147 (i.e. 14, 47, 17, 74, 0047, etc.) Has been used in almost every episode of Fringe. It often seems as though they pan directly to the clock to highlight an occurrence of these numbers sometimes. I have my own theory, and it's way too weird to just offer up; so I just want to know if there's anyone else out there thinking the same thing?

how is G-MAN referenced on here but uatu the watcher of marvel fame isnt

Recently started watching this show.. so in the beginning of this episode Olivia’s sister is complaining about her daughter lying about brushing her teeth.. she says “she reminds me of you!” But the subtitles say “would you arrest me if I killed her?” Then they both laugh and it goes to a new scene. Just curious if anyone knows if this was an original line in the show and they changed it or what?! Just thought it was pretty strange.. I mean in comparison to the show this is obviously small potatoes but I’m still curious🙃 anyone have any info about this?? Thanks!

?

I’m sorry but this is one of my favorite episodes ever because of Broyles on LSD

In episode 1x3, Charlie stops O;ivia as she is leaving Scott's funeral. She's upset that John Scott is being treated like a hero, when in reality he had betrayed the FBI and the USA. Olivia tells Charlie that John had told her that he loved her. Charlie then says, "I wasn't going to tell you this. He told me he loved me too." Or words to that effect. This could mean that Charlie and John had been "intimate." Or that John was bisexual and had a crush on Charlie. This isn't mentioned in the Bio of Charlie, so I thought it would be worth noting.

That being said, this is my first time through the series, so maybe this issue is well-known already.

It's been established that Olivia and Fauxlivia are exactly the same in terms of DNA and everything, so biologically isn't Henrietta just his sister?  Half sister implies a different mother than the other person which would mean half of their DNA is different.  But Since biologically Olivia=Fauxlivia the "half sibling" thing doesn't make sense to me

Just getting into season 5 on Netflix and one thing about the whole observer takover and resistance really wrankles me. If like September suggests in season 4, Observers exist outside of time and can see all possible futures, down to the destinies of single people "I have seen all possible futures and in every one you have to die." Then shouldn't the resistence have absolutley no chance? Shouldn't the Observers using this ability be able to anticipate every location, every move, every plan that the resistence executes and counter accordingly? simply by investigating all possible timelines? I imagine it would be like playing a game where not only do you know the moves your oponent is going to make, but also know every possible move they can make. Really the resistance should be crushed before it even materializes.

Thoughst?

Okay curious if anyone reads these ne more if the point to the observers was to repair the universe to invade then why save the boy in the first place why not just let peter bishop die so walter doesnt cause the crack between the worlds

In the first episode of Season 4, in the newly altered timeline, Olivia tells Lincoln she understands his situation: losing a partner. She tells him about John Scott's death but she doesn't say anything about losing a second partner: Charlie Francis. Is it safe to say that Charlie —in the altered timeline— was still killed by a shapeshifter?

The more and more I look into it, I still can't seem to figure out who is actually creating the observers. Is it possible that in the future it came to a point where observers were making observers?

My new kitten, I named him Hairball.

You can see tha that observers have six fingers in the episode 'enemy of fate' when olivia and peter walk past the wall with the bloody handprint, you can see that there are six fingers

This is just magnificent. I've this episode several times, and it still moves me more than a full length movie.

I am not making the argument that there is no correlation to Jesus Christ, but when I saw Peter Bishop enter the machine, an image which is also repeated in the butterfly glyph, that was not my initial thought. Those images reminded me of the story of Daedalus and Icarus, a story I think is far more fitting once you take into consideration Fringe's theme. How has this website ascribed meaning to the glyphs? It seems so matter of fact, but I think some of the information can be debated. 

September was the alpha and omega of the whole series. In the beginning by interrupting Walternate; in the end by helping to build the time machine to take Michael into the future. In between, he rescued his son Michael, and he rescued Walter and Peter, all extremely important to the story. Throughout the series September is present at every fringe event, (usually just barely glimpsed), sometimes he guides people, and it seems he gently orchestrates the things in both time lines that eventually lead to saving the world from total destruction, first from Walternate, then from William Bell, and finally from the Observers.

September expresses both the superior intelligence of his kind, and a potential for the extraordinary empathy later developed in his son Michael. In September, that potential was like a glimpse of hidden depths, a mesmerizing promise of more. September expresses all these things with only a few words, the look in his eyes, the tilt of his head, and the quality of his voice. Calm and quiet, he was able to express so much meaning in the most subtle ways and given only a few moments at a time.

Taken as a whole, the series was about intelligence and knowledge vs. empathy and love. The love of people for each other, love for the life of the earth and humanity, and love and respect for God, His creation and laws. Intelligence without empathy is disastrous, and emotion without wisdom is disastrous, but intelligence and empathy together result in enlightenment. Unable to understand emotions, September still knew on some deep level that love and empathy were precious and essential.

September was the true heart of the story. The special hero from the future who quietly moved people and events to save the world, again and again, risking the rejection of his peers and even his own life. September was not told the real reason for their mission and he didn’t always know what the results of his efforts would be, but it was as if something within him always guided him toward the greater good.

And Michael Cerveris, the gifted actor who played September, was not told where the story was going, but something within him seemed to always guide him toward the moral imperative. I think there must be very few, if any, actors who could have portrayed that character as well as Michael Cerveris did. He must have those qualities within himself to have been able to portray them so perfectly.

The observers lack taste and, odds are, smell, because, like their emotions, they were replaced with more brain cells responsible for thought. This part of the brain is known as the Cerebral Cortex. Taste and other senses are controlled in the Cerrebellum.
