i know i'm in the minority here, but i was hugely disappointed that this episode and the 5th season made the observers out to be just another set of bad guys. throughout the series they had been advanced and otherworldly, and seemed above things like conquering. in this episode suddenly there are lots of observers and we are in the future and they have conquered the human population. i know this series has revamped itself a few times, but this was too much for me. it trivialized the observers for me to see them hanging out like lame bad-asses in a club and being just another powerful set of bad guys. also, i liked the worlds that Fringe had resided in up until this point and found the new scenario for this episode and the fifth season to be an all-too-familiar dystopia. i was looking forward to buying the blu-ray complete series when it comes out, but will pass on it like i did with the also disappointing Lost, also created by J.J. Abrams. i feel like the writing his shows have popularized is sloppy is happy to throw away everything in the story that has gone before. ultimately, for me he is too gimmicky, like M. Night Shyamalan. i will always love the characters this show made me love like Walter Bishop, but ultimately i don't care to follow where this story goes.
