My Thoughts:
My Thoughts: This was the episode that got me hooked and inspired me to start this blog.
This weird cylinder came up from the ground in an explosion, and then went back down into the ground. What the fringe is this thing? Is it a probe, collecting and carrying information to somebody or something? Is it a container for some biological or mechanical agent? The Observer called it a ‘beacon’, and apparenty it’s transmitting a signal, so maybe it’s some kind of homing device, but for whom or what?. I’m looking forward to learning more.
the observer
‘The Observer’ makes his first spotlight appearance, and I was not disappointed with the way his character played out. Is he some sort of alien, studying the human race? Is he a time traveler? Has he come back in time to witness certain events, or perhaps just to prevent a certain catastrophic event. Either of these would explain why he doesn’t age, and why he seems to have super powers…like reading peoples minds.
If you watch closely, you will see the observer lurking around in the background of the other episodes…

'The Observer' is everywhere.
