Line 2:
* Why are there no female Observers? Are they all hermaphrodites? Maybe they reproduce by cloning or some other asexual process? They never comment on it.
** Some of them are female and future humans of both sexes look alike? Women aren't allowed to time travel? I would really like to see this addressed.
***Observers' reproduction is explained in "Anomaly XB-6783746". In short they are engineered individuals through accurately selected DNA material recombinations and then each single individuals are grown in lab tanks. No sex, we're Observers.
* The discrepancies between "Subject 13" and the rest of the show: Walter claimed William Bell conducted the experiments, but in "Subject 13" it was him who did it. In "Bad Dreams" Walter watches a VHS tape of young (3-year old) Olivia after starting the fire and we hear both his and Bell's voices in the tape. However in "Subject 13" Olivia is 9 when she starts the fire, William Bell is nowhere to be seen, leaving Walter to conduct the experiments himself, and the footage was on Betamax, not VHS.
** William Bell started the cortexiphan experiments over Walter's initial objections (and the Jacksonville trials weren't the first). At some point prior to "Peter", Bell left for Europe to secure funding in order to continue the experiments/found Massive Dynamic; he likely left Walter or someone else in charge of them. When Walter realised that he needed a new way to cross between universes, he took a firmer hand in guiding the experiments.
