Fringe Season 4 disc extras.  The typical BTS stuff.  One particular
point about The Observers.  There was no initial Grand Plan for them
when September was introduced.  Michael Cerveris portrayal of September
was what inspired the producers to expand upon the Observers. Basically,
as is typical of Abrams, they made it up as they went along. With Fringe
he just had the perfect excuse for resetting everything when ever he
felt like because it was just another universe, different timeline!

Sounds like they are admitting they did a retcon to me.  ;-)

That's the trpouble with Jar Jar Abram productions. They always go off the
rails and jumpt the shark. At least this time, he had a vaguely
plausible reason.
