Thanks! I agree with you that those paintings are a bit of a stretch and don't exactly qualify as incontrovertible evidence. I think they just wanted to make a point about the increase in incidence and didn't know how else to do so. I am also really interested to see why the observer helped Walter – how he became involved in the first place, and yes what makes him "important".

And I'd like to see them move forward on the Peter storyline as well, Overall I really liked this episode!

Thanks for commenting! Good to hear your thoughts!

All The Best,

First off I didn't like how Massive Dynamic "proved" the Observers have two dozen appearances in 5000 years. They showed a couple of paintings with bald guys in them, but paintings aren't like pictures, they weren't painted on the spot and often by people that weren't even there and done years later. Also the Fringe devision only spotted the Observer after many years (they said I don't remember the number) with the aid computer databases and omnipresent cameras of the 21st century so is it really a surprise there are so view reports? I don't know maybe I'm being nit-picky

That being said was glad we finally got some insight into who the Observers are and what they are doing. I am really interested in what the Observer who helped Walter's deal was. I got the impression the Observers only interfere when someone is "important," so what qualifies them as important?

I was also a little scared in the last scene when the Observer August was talking about the girl and I just knew the girl was going to end up being important because he loved her, but it was a pleasant surprise when we find out it was because he caused the death of one of the Observers.

They keep dropping so many hints about Peter I really hope they stay on target in the coming episodes and tells us more about how/why/when Walter got Peter.
