Aliens? What Aliens? The Observers are Humans who are more advanced and further along in the evolutionary process, but from the future. They came back in time, but they are still humans, not aliens (extra-terrestrials).

OK if you're gonna get technical: they are temporal aliens.  They are from another time. |

| Still not aliens. Humans! |

I just watched the second episode of the season, "In Absentia," and I have to say it was great. Definitely one of the best Fringe episodes I've seen. The interactions between Etta, Olivia, and the Loyalist were excellently written and performed.
Actually, everything about the episode was great.

I'd rather she killed him. Just to drive home the point that there is no trust in between the two sides. |

| But I think him changing his mind (and Etta changing hers) was part of the point of the episode.
Olivia (and Walter, Peter and Astrid) haven't lived through the 20 or so years of Observer occupation, and they see things very differently. When the Loyalist sees that Olivia's not beaten, and that she really believes that the humans can win, he changes his mind about the Loyalists.
Etta being less of a cold-blooded soldier was also a nice consequence of Olivia's influence, especially after seeing her partner's head being experimented on (that was a cool scene).

| That whole shit wouldn't have happened if Walter was so stupid as to stick around looking through the books rather than just getting Olivia and leaving with the others.

Re: [Sci-Fi] Fringe: Season Five I’m going to side with Wily_One on this.
I was watching NovaScienceNow last night. This was on Neanderthals. Neanderthal fossil specimens were first discovered in the Neander Valley (if I recall correctly) in the mid 1800s. This is in Europe. This subspecies within the genus Homo are related to modern humans but are not human and are presumably specific to Europe.
It is not uncommon, now that the Neanderthal genome has been mapped, to find Neanderthal DNA strand mutations within the people native to Europe. In other words, Neanderthals came into contact with humans in Europe and interbred successfully.
It is, however, uncommon for people of African lineage to have Neanderthal DNA traces since these are modern humans that remained in Africa and had no contact with Neanderthals in Europe.
Technically Neanderthals are alien to modern humans even if some have a closer relation to them then others.
The Observers are no more human then the Neanderthal subspecies within the genus Homo. Not human, therefore Alien,….
And,…..I think they have their papers. Its just that since they are from the future the date would also be in the future and we wouldn’t think they were valid,.....  |

1 edit | I'm really not liking how all of a sudden the show just jumps 20-something years in the future, and throughout all the show The Observers had no indication of being bad guys, yet all of a sudden without any substantial leading up to it, this season takes place 20-something years in the future, Peter and Olivia are now married with a kid (Wtf?! we skipped over the entire relationship, proposal, getting married, getting pregnant, and having a kid stuff?!), the Fringe team was Ambered, no explanation about how Etta just disappeared like that during the the blast or what happened to her, Etta just so happens to find them and free them, and The Observers are now the bad guys and have invaded and enslaved the entire planet?! No real leading up to it throughout 4 seasons; just, *POOF!*, there ya go. This is the story we are handing to you, regardless of continuity, just swallow it and roll with it. 
Seems like the really just threw this whole storyline together this season just to end the series abruptly.
