About

In The Arrival, the Observer is seen taking notes in a small black notebook, writing using an unknown set of characters, and, for the first time, speaking. This may be code or another language altogether, but is presumably taking notes on his observations of The Pattern.
The Observer, and possibly the other Observers, seem to have the ability to share thoughts with others telepathically; he can also read and accurately predict the thoughts of others, as he demonstrates during his encounter with Peter Bishop.
It is also suggested that they are able to observe time, a suggestion supported by the rogue Observer named August in August after he prevents a girl named Christine Hollis from being on a plane that is destined to crash some hours later.
Appearing at many Fringe-related incidents involving Olivia, the Bishops and the Pattern. He does not seem to be involved in the direct cause of the events, but simply observing them.
In Fracture, as he eats in a diner, the Observer receives a briefcase with surveillance images of Walter from a secretive courier. The images contain data much like the images he saw through his binoculars in The Arrival.
He uses a specialized communications device in The Arrival, Brown Betty and Marionette.
In Walter's tall tale during Brown Betty, he is called Gemini and is referred to as a Watcher.
The Observer is bald with very pale skin and appears no eyebrows. He wears simple dark business suits, plain light-colored shirts and a simple dark tie. Outside he typically wears simple dark sunglasses along with a plain, dark fedora on his head.
He admits to Walter that he has very little sense of taste, explaining the extreme amounts of spices he adds to his food; Walter also notes he seems oblivious to cold temperatures. This implies he has dulled senses, or does not experience the 'five senses' in the same way ordinary humans do.
The Observer exhibits a calm, disinterested demeanor. In times when people are panicking, such as during the crane collapse in The Arrival, he acts calmly.

Background

In the alternate universe 1985, The Observer enters Walternate's lab and distracts him just as the cure to Peter's genetic ailment is discovered, and lost.
In the alternate universe 1985, The Observer confesses to fellow Observers that he interfered in the alternate Walternate's experiment to cure his son.
In the 1985 local universe, The Observer saved Peter and Walter Bishop from drowning after falling through frozen Lake Reiden, just after Walter abducted young Peter from the alternate universe.
He was on-hand at the first documented arrival of the Beacon at Quantico MB in 1987.

Quotes

"It has arrived..." - (into his cell phone just after the Beacon resonated itself to the surface)
"Thank you for hiding the Beacon. I can't touch it myself. I know you have questions. Soon you will have answers." - (to Walter after Walter drugged Astrid and hid the Beacon from Mosley)
"Departure on schedule." - (into his cell phone just after the Beacon resonated itself back into the ground)
"This coin looks similar to the one you're thinking of. But it is from another place. There is more than one of everything. I have said too much, I am not supposed to get involved. I have taken you as far as I can." - (encouraging Walter to search his old beach house to find the device hidden there that can seal the gap between the parallel universes)
"They are all unique. That is not reason to interfere with the course her life was meant to take" - (to August, about his fixation with Christine Hollis)

Thank you for starting :)

I can't wait until we start having some answers. Who are they? :confused:

Mandy 01-27-2011 06:12 AM

OK, maybe I totally missed this, but after watching that recent video in the news thread about the writers confirming things, I didn't realize that Mosley was a "Rogue Observer"! :eek:

He didn't seem like an Observer at all. He was too calculating and didn't speak monotone or really have any of their other mannerisms. :shrug:

But that's very interesting if that's how it's going to all play out . . . and we have more!

Emsea 01-27-2011 10:39 AM

I can't wait to learn more about them too, Sofia. Learning they can time travel from last week's episode makes me really wonder who they are and their purpose in the universes.

Mandy, I had no clue that Mosley was a "Rogue Observer" either. He seemed way too human to be an observer. I figured a rogue observer would be more like August with saving that girl last season. So I'm really intrigued with what a rogue observer means.

I join you, I had no idea either. I was curious about the beaker and its importance, but I didn't think Mosley was an observer.

My main concern with Fringe right now is that they'll try too much; after reading the latest spoilers; it looks like so much will happen. I don't want it to become like some shows that I started watching and then dropped. That's why I think one, two more seasons will be more than enough. After that the risk of becoming silly is too high. Not to mention that I don't know how they can top this current season.

I agree with this. I don't want them to get too carried away just because it's the show with so many possibilities. I think they have so many gaps and questions right now that they need to answer without creating a bunch of new ones. I would be happy with just 2 more seasons.

^ I'm still trusting the writers. Maybe it helps that I don't read all of the spoilers. :shrug: :lol:
I can't imagine Fringe turning into a show where too many things happen at the same time that it becomes silly/too weird etc.. I guess we'll see soon enough.

TFTNT! :flowers:

I'm hoping we'll get satisfying answers before the season is over... what's their role in all of this? I'm desperate to know!

Maybe it does :lol:

I hope so, Laura. The standard is so high right now that every little thing that can jeopardise that makes me worry.

I have no idea about the observers; at least good ones. Do they have a supreme observer? :lol:

LOL good question! :lol:

I also want to know are there any female observers?

And if there are more than 12 observers, I wonder what their names are. I'm assuming Mosley was at one time a month. :P

Oh, I had never thought about that. Would they be bold too :look:

I wonder if they'll bring Mosley back?

My guess is since they mentioned him as a rogue observer and we have no clue what that means - yes. I need to go back and watch that episode now that I know what he is.

You must be right. It only adds to the mystery of the observers.

maya_lostris 02-02-2011 07:22 AM

So many questions about them, like why are they bald, if they can travel to time why do they dress like in the past, since they have been in the future and many other :)) ... since i read he appears in every episode sometime i used to watch carefully every epi just to see if he appeares:)) but i didnt always ee him;))
i hope we will get some answers till the end of the season...

Emsea 02-02-2011 08:13 AM

Not only is he in every episode of Fringe but he seems to like American Idol too. :rotfl:
