Observers Are Here Blog for fans of J.J. Abrams’ show Fringe

Has anyone read all of the Fringe comics and has lots of theories and opinions?

.

This is a call for help to anyone who might be interested in writing some posts about the Fringe Comic Books. I would like the posts to include a short synopsis, any correlations to the show, any differences or inconsistencies with the show and of course any theories about the storylines that you have.

I would like one every week to week and a half so that we can fit them all in by the end of the summer.  I will give you complete credit and I can even get a hold of some scans of some of the pages to add to your posts.  All you would have to do is e-mail me your post, I will check for spelling and grammar errors, add the pics and post it for you.

I would really appreciate any help that you can give me on this, as many people are asking about the Comics, and I would love to be able to fill this gap in my Fringe Blog site.

Please let me know, and thanks in advance.

In Which We Meet Mr. Jones

.

What did we miss?

.

- People have speculated that there are many other companies or bad guy groups out there, other than ZFT, Intrepus and Massive Dynamic.  I never put it together before, but Broyles says “What we’ve learned so far is the following: There are cells – we don’t know how many. Privately funded with presence in eighty-three recorded countries. Z.F.T. is among them.”  I suppose this would be confirmation that we might yet meet more of these ‘cells’.

"The Cure"

What did we miss?

- David Esterbrook’s assistant was named Elizabeth Sarnoff.  That is the name of one of the writers from ‘LOST’.  Just a tidbit for anyone who is a fan of all of J.J.’s work.

"Power Hungry"

.

What theories were overlooked?

.

- Broyles said that Fischer conducted the experiments on seven others and that they had them all in custody.  Was it one of them who crashed the train 9 months ago?  It couldn’t have been Joseph, he said he joined the experiment only a few months ago.  Was there someone else, possibly from another experiment?  Now that we have ZFT, is it possible they also were running similar experiments?  Maybe.

.

- This theory wasn’t overlooked, but I would like to bring it up again, in case during later ‘Looking Back’ posts, we run into some more evidence.  Walter says to Peter: ” You cannot imagine what it’s like For a man like me To not have access to parts of his mind.”  And then later in the episode, he knew that Olivia has seen John.  Was Walter in the tank with someone at some point?  He has definitely gone through something, as is evident in later episodes, but what?  And if he has been linked to someone…who?

.

- Also, during that conversation with Peter, Walter also says: “Oh, I had trouble sleeping myself. I was thinking about that man. The one who tortured you. Something about him. So familiar. Peter, when I was in St. Claire’s…”.  Did he know John Mosely?  John seemed to know Robert Bishop, so it would be possible for him to know Walter as well.  Did they meet at St. Claires?  It seemed like that was going to be Walter’s next sentence.  Was John Mosely involved with experimenting on Walter, along with Sumner?

.

How have the characters developed?

.

- I enjoyed the general feeling that the characters gave during this episode.  Everyone seemed to be in good spirits.  Humor was displayed by all, with smiles on everyone’s faces, even Olivia.  I found that this made it a very feel-good episode.

.

What questions were never answered?

.

- We know WHAT Dr. Fischer did to Joeseph and seven others, but WHY did he do it?  What was the purpose of the experiment?  What was the end game?

.

- John Scott says “I was not the one who betrayed you” to Olivia.  So, who did betray Olivia?  Broyles, Nina?

.

- When Olivia told Dr. Fischer to put up his hands, he put them up palms in, instead of palms out like a normal person would do.  Was it deliberate?  Will we be seeing him again?

.

What tie was Broyles wearing?

.

Two ties

"The Arrival"

.

What did we miss?

.

- This isn’t plot related, but I did notice something strange about Olivia’s apartment.  At some point it changed.  In the four episodes that I have re-watched so far, her apartment looks like the images on the left and in later episodes it looks like the images on the right.  Clearly it is not the same set.  At first I thought maybe she moved to be closer to her office, but the view from the outside is the same and there’s never any mention of her moving.  I will keep my eyes open this summer and try to pinpoint the exact episode in which the change is made.

"The Ghost Network"

.

Well now that I’ve watched the entire episode, things make much more sense to me.  Some of the things here might not be new to most of you, but they’re new to me, so I am including them.

So, yesterday, I was rewatching “The Ghost Network” taking my notes and preparing my post for “Looking back at 103″, when I realized for the first time that my episode is over 10 minutes shorter than a standard episode. So I open the transcript and start reading it, and that’s when I realize that my copy is missing an entire act.  Act II from the transcript - Roy McComb in Custody, Nina’s office at Massive Dynamic, the briefing room…all of it…missing!!

.

Anyways, I feel I must watch the episode in it’s entirety before I can accurately write this post, so I will need a few days to get to my parents house and borrow their copy.

.

I apologize about this, but I will try to get this done as soon as I can.  Thanks for your patience.
