The Observer In Dreamscape

[Fringeling]

I know this has been mentioned in other threads, but it's worth bringing up here. In the first scene, after exiting the elevator (where the Observer is watching) the MD employees round a corner, where there is a second man (although with hair) standing in an identical pose. Does anyone have a screencap? It just struck me as odd that he was in the same position as the observer. Could be nothing.....although I'd like to point out that the sneaky phrase inserted into the opening sequence of the first episode was "The Observers Are Here"......plural......

If you haven't seen them by now, I posted a screencap of the other "observer" type person in the Misc Screencaps Thread for this episode ....

I suppose it would be folly of us to assume that all of the Observers look like our September friend. I'm actually wondering why we've come to that conclusion in the first place - what patterns caused us to make such an assumption, when we've (probably) only seen one instance of the Observer?

That said, I don't think that random guy is an Observer. Why would there need to be more than one of them within the same vicinity?

If I were a betting man (which I am) I would guess that there will indeed be multiple Observers, although initially the other Observers will be portrayed by the same actor and may not appear on-screen at the same time (unless Bad Robot feel like running up their CGI budget). I could be wrong though.

I wont discount the idea of that dude being an Observer..the line of thought has possibilities.

I have wondered if Broyles was an Observer, is an Observer, or failed to "pass inspection" into Observerhood for some reason. He could be a rogue Observer, or one who has had his memory wiped clean. It might be a little far fetched, but it's fun to think about

One thing that caught my attention though, was when Olivia and Broyles first entered the room at "headquarters" where those peeps were working on the Observer (the room with all the photos of him). When they entered the room, Broyles asked the others to leave. Why? Olivia didn't know about the Observer, and all Broyles was doing was briefing her on a small amount of info that the other people in the room supposedly knew already. So why ask them to leave? Could it be because they all knew a lot more then they let on, and Broyles wanted to play a little dumb with Olivia and didn't want the others to see?

And I'm sure someone else has noticed already (and if I'm repeating myself sorry!), but why has he allowed himself to be so readily photographed all the time? It's almost like he's posing half the time ...

I remember seeing a short video on fox.com at some point where the writers were talking about the show (I think it was after the episode about the observer).

They hinted at the fact that Broyles seems to resemble the Observer quite a bit, and they specifically said, "There may be a reason that there's more than one bald character on the show"Seems to me that there has to be some connection there, or at least something deeper that we can't put together at this point in the season.

Something I've noticed is that some of the Massive Dynamic employees stand like the observers. If you notice, when Olivia is talking to Nina - I believe every time she talks to her if I'm remembering correctly - there is someone standing by. They stand like the observer. And in the Dreamscape episode, I remember noticing more than one Massive Dynamic employee standing that way - in a hallway at the beginning of the show, right after we see September, as Mark Young is walking down the hall, we see someone standing in the middle of the hallway, and someone else standing at the opposite end. I wonder what that has to do with anything - maybe nothing, but it made me wonder.

Well Broyles clearly knows more then we do. He even said it himself to Olivia. So its possible he is working with the people who are responsible for creating the 'smokescreen' of the pattern in order to completely mislead any potential investivations by major government agencies into events that are starting to/are bout to unravel. What better way to do that then to initiate an investigation force like that yourself and set them on the wrong path. If this is the case then Broyles protecting MD would also make more sense since they are the ones said to be involved in 'the smokescreen.'

Just some thoughts.
