I think he did and their plan worked, its just that they were able to instantaneously resume shipments because they just sent it later on their end.

Heh heh if it turns out that he is and that what they need to do to prevent the dystopian future is to change the past so Peter Bishop never exists that will be pretty funny.

His murder face at the end there when he's looking in the mirror is identical to the one he had at the end of the episode where he killed the all the shapeshifters.

Oh my god. That would be so ridiculous.

But on the other hand, the Observers seemed to be okay with Peter not existing - it's only September who deemed him "important".

The 'science team' observers, who we have been told are not really keen on the whole 'invasion' thing. Maybe September just didn't have the heart to delete Peter and prevent the invasion, but the rest of the brains were willing to sacrifice even their own existence to prevent the enslavement of humanity in the past.

I tried searching for that Peter Bishop is Missing commercial from awhile back but all I got were really, really weird shipping music videos.

That doesn't seem likely. September then continued to flout the authority of the other Observers and worked with the Fringe team to create this plan to do something about the invasion. If the science team as a whole were opposed to the invasion, they were in a good position to do more to stop it. There's been no indication that they were against it so I think September was the only rogue.

Peter might just turn into the Terminator before all this is done. I loved Olivia's little quip to the observer before she shot him. "Yeah, it is that kind of gun."

This whole peter is the first observer kind of makes sense. Much of last seasons was one group of observers trying to prevent Peter from being born.
