Remember the early days of Fringe when we thought that the Observers were a curiosity but were basically benign or, at worst, maybe interlopers for good? Ah those halcyon days. Now we know that only one of them was like that, and the rest, at least in the season that is to come, are not.

Below we have the third of Protocols that have been issued by the Fedora-ed Ones. We’ve included the previous two for your ease of reference (and protection from scans).

Wow, that sounds an awful lot like the Travel Protocol we posted last week. Because apparently rulebreakers will not be tolerated, we’ll remind you:

Now we’re feeling pretty confident that Peter, Etta, Walter, and Astrid will not be okay with this. If you’d like to see what they might be doing about it, we have some rather spoilery pictures from the Season 5 premiere coming up later today. Stay tuned!

Fringe, starring Anna Torv, Joshua Jackson, John Noble, Jasika Nicole, and Lance Reddick, premieres Season 5 on Friday, September 28 at 9/8c on Fox.
