UNANSWERED QUESTIONS & PLOT DANGLERS
| - Who is 'the observer' and why is he at every occurrence of the pattern?
- Agent Scott back from the dead? Or just alive in Olivia's mind?
- Will we see the 'cylinder' again? What is its purpose? Would it have disappeared again in the manner that it came, if it had been left buried in tinfoil? And why couldn't the observer touch it himself? Does Dr. Bishop actually know anything about the cylinder other than having the compulsion placed in his mind to keep it hidden?
- Why does Peter know what his dad knows without knowing it? Walter told Peter to "adjust the way he views communications". Is this a connection they will keep now that Walter's debt has been paid?
-
The observer appears ageless. If he's a time traveller from a future then it explains a good deal. That he knows Peter and his Father intimately would then also be explained. But who then is he calling, in the "now"? Is it even a phone? - The "assassin" who attempts to get his hands on the cylinder wears a hat embroidered with three green circles and one red one. This symbol was seen once before in the pilot. When Olivia contacts John through their shared dream, she sees her Uncle's kayak. The three green circles and the red circle are on the kayak.

Is the photo of the soldier in 1987 a ghastly wardrobe mistake? He's wearing an Army uniform in digital camoflage. In Quantico, Marines are present, in 1987 they wore either BDU - classic or Olive Drab. Digital camo varies - the Army uses a gray base, the Marine version includes black. Digital camo was only recently developed and issued. So the photo is either a gaff, a trumped up lie, or a time travel issue rearing it's head. - Continuity- When Dunham realizes she has seen the Observer before, she pulls up the picture from the hospital in Quincy. The bald man is standing at the corner, in front of some sort of wall grate, sign or charts. In the very next scene when she takes it to Broyles, the photo from Quincy she shows him has the Observer standing around the corner in a completely different place.
