Observer Sightings

Is anyone else having as much fun as I am in trying to spot this guy every week? He shows up at critical junctures in the stories, usually (but not always) when Dunham is in attendence. Coincidence? I don't think so. And how about the 'Subliminals' -- the clues that indicate a key point of next week's episode. This show is great fun! 8  out of 8 found this valuable. Do you?

Very first scene, against a wall when the guy exits the elevator.
Some people are arguing if it was him or not on another thread.

But yeah, playing catch the observer every week is loads of fun !

"But where was the Observer in this episode? I didn`t find him!!! I watched it twice! :)"
He is indeed in the very first sequence, scene two, of Episode 1.09. If you blink, you'll miss him. He's standing in the hallway with his back to the wall as the two Massive Dynamics board members get off the elevator. Try to catch him immediately as they get off the elevator. He gets harder to discern as they walk down the hallway, though he is kept in the shot the whole time.

Sightings Before that:
Episode 1.08: Outside, under a tree when Dunham takes a cell call outside the house they're searching.
Episode 1.07: In the German Airport near the ticket counter.
Episode 1.06: In the Country Club watching Dunham's conversation with {bad guy}. two shots, one long, then he crosses directly behind the two as the converse.
Episode 1.05: Getting off the doomed elevator as it fills up.
Episode 1.04: Featured several times.
Episode 1.03: in a couple of shots (one is a reflection) on the train.
Episode 1.02: At the counter in the Hospital.
Episode 1.01: Walking past Massive Dynamics in the intro shot to that corporation.

I started an album here of Observer Sightings. Check it out. Hit the 'Photo' button above.

Thanks for the tip! My friends and I looked for him forever. I have a theory that I'd like feed back on. I have a feeling that The Observer might be the CEO of Massive Dynamic. No one knows what he looks like and Dr. Bishop said that he had met him before and seems familiar. Just a thought. 3  out of 3 found this valuable. Do you?

Possible. Other thoughts are that Bell, the CEO, will prove to be either identical to one of the Bishops, Dunham or ???? (clone?) or possibly someone who is already in the series, such as the observer, as you suggest. Could Peter be a clone of Bell? There is ALOT of evidence suggesting Peter is at the very least a clone, but of who? See the thread about "Bets guess to Peter's past" or something similar.

Thanks for the additional input. Can't wait to see where the Observer shows next!

See you on the Fringe....

Anytime. I have the screen shots (with call-outs) showing him, too. I think I posted them here under the Photos tab. You can go to Fox on Demand a re-watch the series in full screen. I use Howies Fun Ware to capture the shots without logos or any other annoying borders or obstructions.

Am i the only one who say this isnt the OBSERVER as its just a bald guy working there, the Observer looks nothing like this guy standing by the wall, no hat, no briefcase and the face was differant. THAT WAS NOT THE OBSERVER but maybe just a emplyee from massive dynamic, there are other bald people in the world you know or are they Observers 2 lol

I've got a screen shot of the episode 1.09 Observer --in the first sequence --in the hallway at MD as the two employees get off the elevator. It's very clearly the same Mr. Smith from 1.04. I'll put it up here at the photos if it's not there already. Looking for this stuff can make you cross-eyed sometimes. :-)

There is something, possibly strange, that I noticed in 1.09 though. As Olivia is leaving the MD building after talking to Nina, there is a huge, bald black guy that walks up like he's going into the building. Instead, he stops, turns his head and watchesher go down the street. He then, at the end of this long-shot, turns with his back and just stands with hi back facing the building and assumes this 'watcher' pose, for lack of anything else to call this observer-like stance he takes. (unfortunately, I don't have an hour count on this).

Do we have a watchman, or another observer that they're sneaking up on us? Or maybe just an ordinary, plain clothes building guard.

EnselundKrete: yeah, theres' a break for the Holidays. Next episode airs on January 20th. It'll be a long month.

As for the second observer, I've been thinking about watching every episode again trying to find a second observer that would be there every time and going unnoticed. But time is a luxury I'm definitely lacking right now ;-)

I actually started and photo album of these "Watchers" along with a thread to discuss. They are not the same as Observers, tho. I had just noticed, occasionally, that other bald guys sometimes took too much interest in things, usually Olivia. Once I concentrated on finding them, I was at least somewhat successful. The three screen-shots I posted from Episode 3, when Olivia is chasing Ziegler (the assassin who had just shot Davidson in the train depot) and the 'Watcher' joins in running alongside him just before he is cornered by Charlie and Dunham. I tried to slow the action enough to see if either of them try to pass-off anything, but could not make a determination.

I know. Doing progressive scans sometimes crosses my eyes and gives me a haddock!

Sounds kind of fishy to me!
