Mysterious Months for 'Fringe'

If you’re anyone who watches Fringe, chances are you’ve seen the preview that followed “Dream Logic,” which showcased a few scenes from the rest of the season. Specifically, I’m talking about just one little snippet, which showed three Observers — count them, three — sitting around a restaurant table.

We’ve known that there would be an Observer-laden episode coming up sooner rather than later, but this preview confirms it once more. The Observers will appear in numbers during episode eight of the second season, which is titled “August.”

Now, if you’ve read the press release for “The Arrival,” the fourth episode of season one, in which we were introduced to the Observer, you’ll notice that actor Michael Ceveris is credited as “September.” That’s funny, since he plays the Observer.

Now, with another, Observer-centric episode named after a month of the year, you have to think that perhaps “August” refers to another Observer than the one we’ve come to know and love.

Of course, the monthly names hints at the fact that there are perhaps only twelve Observers, though of course that’s only rampant speculation on my part. What do you think the significance is? Let us know in the comments below.
