Right so on the last episode of Fringe it was revealed that the observers were scientist from a distant future, which really makes some interesting points about scientists. Firstly part of science is supposed to be impartial, you are not supposed to let your own senses or feelings influence the results, thus the observers are fairly impartial, they don't have human emotions (well there not supposed to, look how that ended up for August) they have a greatly diminished sense of taste, they all look the same, giving the impression that they are all the same people, and thus have no personalities, they speak in monotones, and very slowly. Yet this in an example of how science has been breached, scientist really should have very acute senses to make accurate observations.

This is just an example of the extreme hubris that the observers seem to have regarding sceine, and really what they the show says about al sciencetists. The beleive that they are just pure observers, imparitial, perfect scientists. Thus I beleive that the real fatal flaw, the real act of hubris that started the whole Fringe situation, was really Spetember's hubris, in thinking that he was just an obsever, and not actually invovling himself in the science. Yet it was his being seen, which prompted Walternate to miss the cure, and thus Walter to cross over. It's interesting to note that the observer's flaw was based on scientific motives, while Walters was based on emotions.

So Fringe is effectively saying that science shouldn't be based be purely scientific, impirical, becuase that leads to hubris, which is definitly a fair enough point, and a very interesting, but really crucial point to note about science, science is based in logic, yet it has such a human impact.

But back on Fringe, why then does September go to such lengths to correct his mistake. Well partly it has to do something about my personal theory if the observers. I believe that, in the fringeverse at least, all times, all timelines, everything exists at the same time, similar to the situation in the subtle knife, where the dude due can cut wholes between universe, and just step through them into different worlds. The observers have the ability to see and cross through all of these universes and times. and I similar to a lot of other peoples thoerys I beleive the obsevers are quite possibly descendants of peter and oliva, but get their powers due to Henry being a child of 2 universes, however that still doesn't explain how Peter and Olivia would have orgianlly meet, being from 2 different universes. I also don't think the September would go to all this trouble just to make sure he exists.

It is however possible that he woulddo all of this to prevent a possible future, which in some ways involves john mosely, the capsule is definitly coming back, (I so called this!) however its purpose is yet unkown, although we do know that the observers can't touch it, and don't want anyone else to have it, so maybe peter is using it to get back home, as I don't know the beacan is a beacon for each universe, so maybe he'll be able to travel between them, or aline the machine or something using them, or maybe he'll like hold it hostage on the obervers for information or something. I'm not really sure either way, but I know its going to be exciting.

While I'm on the topic of Fringe, I was actually rather excited to hear the Terra Nova got cancelled. Although this could be taken in a bad way, ie fox doesn't want anymore expensive sci-fi shows, and will also cancel Fringe, it also means that there is one less show (and one less sci-f show, because fox sure wasn't going to renew all of them) that Fringe has to compete with, I was actually really worried that Terra Nova would get renewed, as its ratings we still ok, but I'm so happy tha tit got canned, Alacatraz is also dipping and is looking actually very like it might get cancelled, and the Finder just got moved to Fridays, meaning that unless it does some ratings mircle (which could actually increase Fringe's ratings) it also looks like it might get canceled, and breaking in returned with pretty medicore ratings, so the chances of Fringe renewal is actually looking a bit up, heres hoping
