Fringe Season 2 Episode 8: August

Finally, in “August”, we learn a little more about The Observer. Though we still don’t much. We know there a lot of them, that they observe people throughout history that they aren’t suppose to get involved.

As the episode opens, one of these Observers is kidnapping a young woman, Christine. The Fringe unit begins investigating and realizes that this Observer was able to stop a bullet with his bare hand. They also talk to someone at Massive Dynamics who explains they’ve been around for thousands of years, observing major historical events. Then, they find a notebook left behind by the Observer that confuses everyone but Walter who sees the secret message meant for him.
