While many came to the MLB All-Star Game to watch President Obama throw out the first pitch, the Observer came to just observe. FOX is continuing its marketing campaign it began last year to get viewers interested in its sci-fi hit, Fringe. The Observer has appeared at other sporting venues including NASCAR.
No one quite knows what the Observer does (other than observe) or why he continues to appear in every show; however, his presence appears to be connected to the "pattern" - a term that has been given to all the unusual events that Agent Dunham and her team are following and analyzing.
Many Fringe fans have theorized what the Observer's role is and from where he comes. They have also wondered whether or not he acts alone or if there are many of him and his kind. Season 2 has begun filming in Vancouver and Fringers will have to wait until September to get answers. However, his (or its) appearance at other sporting events are most likely in the works.
