Comic-Con Exclusive: Sneak peek at 'Fringe' poster... and Observageddon!
by Jeff Jensen
The fifth and final season Fox’s Fringe begins September 28, but the countdown to The End begins on Sunday, July 15 at Comic-Con. For the first (and last) time, the sci-fi saga’s annual confab with fans — always a lively and well-attended affair — will take place inside Comic-Con’s largest venue, Hall H. Cast members Anna Torv, Joshua Jackson and John Noble will be on hand, as will exec producer J.H. Wyman, who’ll be piloting Fringe’s 13-episode grand finale season solo following the recent departure of longtime showrunning partner Jeff Pinkner. “The Comic-Con panel is something I always look forward to, but this year it’s bittersweet,” says Wyman. “I think we have lots of good stuff in store for them.” Among the goodies for attendees: A season 5 teaser poster (see below) that confirms that Fringe’s final chapter will deal squarely with the dystopian future glimpsed in the season 4 episode “Letters of Transit.” Nutshell recap: The world is about to be invaded and conquered by time traveling Observers from the future. Our heroes must find some way here in the present to stop the take-over from happening… or they must find some way to overthrow their oppressors in the future.

I'm starting to wonder if the cortexiphan children's children's children's children become the observers... AND/OR if they are the key to vanquishing the observers? In Letters of Transit, the black market guy joked that if the observers find more of people like Etta out there, they'll all be dead.. I wonder if that is another spoiler..Hmmmm.
