did anyone else see the watcher guy... or whatever his name is in the sequence where the news stand guy's skin grew over his whole face?

Even if he goes crazy, I will still call Chris "Superman"

I did... but only because I saw this post before I watched it, so I knew when to look for him. And that growing skin was freaky as heck.

He was incredibly easy to spot here.

I actually did. It's probably the first episode that I managed to see him. The skin part was totally bizarre. Good episode, though.

Heck with the Observer (although is he from one of these parallel universes? If so, the invading one or another?)

So we find out that "our" Earth is being targeted by another reality with somewhat more advanced technology, and at least some of the Pattern herald their invasion.

Nina has a high-tech artificial arm. Is she one of the invaders? What about Bell, who gave her the arm?

Apparently ZFT has stolen some of the invaders' technology (like they obtained Walter's teleporter?) and is using it to train unwilling recruits/soldiers.

How did Walter find out about the invaders and seemingly rally a covert army to fight them before he went insane?

If "Safe" upped the ante by introducing teleportation, this episode introduces an alternate reality of invaders, at least some of which appear to have already infiltrated this reality.

I actually saw him this time!!!! He was pretty easy if you were looking for his face, but if you wre looking for his bald head you'd have been out of luck.

What does anyone think about who wrote the Z.F.T.? I think that we're probably supposed to think that Walter wrote it, but I don't think so. I think he'd remember writing it, at least once I read it. I'm wondering if Bell wrote it. The guy who founded Massive Dynamics. They were sharing that lab back in the day. And what a story line if the guy who wrote that founded this HUGE company!

What do you think? (I'm not looking for information, just theories.)

The other possibility is that it's the Walter Bishop we saw in "The Equation," hanging around the mental institute and that "our" Walter thought he was hallucinating.

Or... the one who wrote ZFT was actually Walter Bishop, but from a parallel universe.

That would be the Walter Bishop we saw in "The Equation," the parallel-world sane one spying on his nutty "our world" one.
