The premiere of Fringe‘s fifth and final season is only days away, and now a new spoiler snippet has been revealed which hints at a terrifying story development!

Zap2It reports that in the fifth season, there will be a “general lack of decency” among the humans living under the Observers’ rule in 2036.

One particularly decency-lacking group of people, called “Amber Gypsies,” are in the amber trading business. Apparently, we’ll see this group cut out blocks of amber, containing frozen people, and sell them to be used as furniture!

We sincerely hope that this is not what has become of Olivia. But this does seem like an intriguing story development, and it hints that a lot of people have ended up ambered in this future.

The first episode of Fringe season 5, “Transilience Through Unifier-Model 11” (say that 11 times fast eh?) premieres this Friday at 9/8c on Fox! The final season contains only 13 episodes, so be sure you savour this one.

Check out a new promo which was released teasing the Observers’ rule and the underground resistance working to infiltrate them. There is also one called “Have You Seen Peter Bishop?” which mirrors the season 4 promos – back when Peter actually did not exist.
