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

For those of you just tuning in, I’m sure the first thing you did this morning was check your email and the complete the pattern website.  You got nothing?  Welcome to the club.

A small handful of us stayed up pretty much all night waiting for all of the counters around the entire world to count down to zero in hopes that something-anything would happen.

Nada, Nil, Zilch, Bupkis.  There are a couple minor variations, but there is still no actual activity.  There is now a skip button, and it reads ‘REGISTER TO RECEIVE NOTIFICATIONS WHEN PHASE 2 BEGINS’.

.

I haven’t been this thrown for a loop since Bruce Willis turned out to be dead in ‘The SIxth Sense’, and that’s saying something!  When does Phase 2 begin already?

Di and I have been throwing around the theory that we have missed the boat completely.  There is something that we missed.  Is it possible that we must activate the site ourselves?  Do WE have to ‘complete the pattern’?  We are now working on the idea of using Fibonacci numbers to try and unlock something, but we could use everyone’s help.  Put on your thinking caps and help us try to figure out what went wrong.

Any ideas anyone?

O.K. so it’s ‘0d + 1h + 17m + 49s‘ according to the website and I find myself just full of child-like giggles.  It occurs to me how easily I am amused and I wonder if I am the only person refreshing the screen every two minutes or so.

So, how do I keep myself occupied until then…I start surfing.

- The first thing I find is that nothing is happening with the ‘There is More‘ viral site.  There has been no activity on it since May.  There is nothing new on the Fox Fringe site, no bio for our new character Amy Jessup played by Meghan Markle, no new ‘Deep in the Lab’ videos.  Nothing new on Case 0091.  Massive Dynamic‘s website hasn’t changed a bit.  What Up?  If it wasn’t for the questionable site ‘Fou Trust‘  this summer would have been a complete bust!  I guess it’s no wonder that I am so excited about the new viral site, let’s hope it actually pans out.

- I found a cool video on facebook from last year that I had never seen before with some stunning visuals.  You can check it out here.

- I also discovered that the producers may be offering prizes for the ‘Complete the Pattern’ viral contest.  According to examiner.com, it could be a visit to the Fringe set.  READY, SET, GO people!

Top five Fringe Season 2 Spoilers from TV Addict:

Fox gave journalists a taste of what Fringe‘s parallel dimension is like at the Television Critics Association summer press tour in the form of a fictional newspaper called The New York News, similar to the New York Post glimpsed on the table in William Bell’s office in the season-one finale.

.

The front page, dated May 12, 2009 ( which helps with my time line), features stories about the Obamas moving into the new White House—in this dimension, the original White House, not the World Trade Center, was destroyed on Sept. 11, 2001— former president John F. Kennedy will address the United Nations, and 1986 draft pick Len Bias hasn’t died of a drug overdose but rather becomes the NBA MVP. And inside, we learn that Star Trek is still the number-one movie for the weekend of May 8 (and was presumably still written by Fringe co-creators Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman).

That tantalizing glimpse of the parallel universe teases what viewers can expect when Fox’s sci-fi series returns in the fall, but Orci says the parallel universe will differ from our own only when it’s significant.

Spoilers ahead!

This is what FOX FLASH had to say about Season 2:

.

Last season’s No. 1 new series among Adults 18-49, FRINGE returns for a second thrilling season and will continue to explore the unexplained phenomena and terrifying occurrences linked throughout the world – known simply as “The Pattern” – in pursuit of a larger, more shocking truth.

Set in Boston, the FBI’s Fringe Division formed when Special Agent OLIVIA DUNHAM (Anna Torv) enlisted the help of institutionalized “fringe” scientist WALTER BISHOP (John Noble) and his son, PETER (Joshua Jackson), to save her partner and lover from a mind-bending death. Through unconventional and unorthodox methods, the FRINGE team imagines and tests  the impossibilities while investigating unbelievable events, macabre crimes and mystifying cases involving teleportation, reanimation, genetic mutation, precognition, artificial intelligence and other fantastical theories. When the unimaginable happens, it’s their job to stop it.

I received a message from Denkiva over at Fringewiki.  Here is what he had to say:

“I was approached at Comic-Con by an Observer. He placed a black card with a picture of a blue leaf on the back. On the front were these instructions:”

“TEXT DELTA to 37398 for your next assignment…“

.

I believe this is part of the new viral site “Complete the Pattern“. All I can tell you is that as of today there are only two days left until phase 2…man am I hyped! (standard text messaging rates apply to all text message sent or received…)

The No-Brainer

What did we miss?

- In “The Dreamscape” we saw Olivia’s computer bootup screen with Zeno on it.  We can see it again in this episode on Akim’s computer.  The number ’128000′ after ‘Memory Test’ seems to be in a different font, is there some meaning to it?
