I think the watchers have received too little real scrutiny other than presence or absence from a video. Obviously, they must have an ongoing purpose other than swooping in when a rarely occurring ceremony gets botched. What do they usually do? I'm guessing ..they watch.
Yeah, that's why I thought it was strange when bree and d took off from the motel. The guys just watch the folks who are straying from the path and possess some secrets of the order. They try to make sure the secrets don't get out. That's why they're called the Watchers and not the Grabbers or the Stabbers. Bree and d were never touched, although the order had plenty of chances. They were just watched. And they continue to be watched. The order has an interest in bree being safe, (if not free). The order wants bree to choose to do the ceremony.
Not profound, but subtle difference. If there was going to be an abduction, it seems it could have already taken place.
The Watchers are everywhere. Maybe there's a camera in your bedroom, too!!

One has to wonder why they would let people who have their secrets live if they don't actually need them for something. Really, the Watchers aren't doing a very good job of protecting the secrets if they're not offing potential liabilities who they have no incentive to keep alive. What would they do in the event that someone with secrets was about to do an interview with CNN? Would they take action or call in the "More Than Watchers"?

I'd like to know what they usually do too. It doesn't really make sense for there to be a division specifically for watching people who know too much if they're never going to do anything with them -- even when there's no reason to keep them alive.

I've been wondering how Bree and Daniel have eluded the order. Especially when they are not the most subtle...and watchers have been spotted in nearly every video since they were first explained by Gemma.

As for what the watchers typically do: perhaps look for potential Order members? Scan the streets for others who may 'subscribe to their way of thinking'? With their suits and sunglasses, they could be a sort of solicitor... Laughing

From what I'd understood about the job that "Watchers" are deployed for, is to follow and observe (watch) their target/subject. Hence why they're called "Watchers". The only other thing their job entails is to relay their findings to their controller or superior.

Watchers are never to initiate or force physical or verbal contact with their target. This is why Bree and Daniel have never gotten into any physical altercations with one.

If in danger or when the need calls for it, an available operative (who is usually nearby) is called in. Obviously, B&D had not done anything 'bad' enough for their watcher to feel the need to call in an operative.

I guess you can consider a Watcher as a mobile stake-out, of sorts.

I wonder what the Watchers would do if they were confronted by Bree or Daniel?

Anyone else find the watchers videos creepy?
