Well, look who just popped open a fresh can of venom.

All is well that ends in pizza.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
Does anybody else think Walternate is the Big Bad behind the high-tech terrorists?

Art Crawl!!!
ooh, that's an interesting idea - he is also working to get his son back.

After this long? I think he'd be more out for full-on vengeance. His world's dying (as hinted in previous episodes), his son was "kidnapped" and, I'm willing to bet, his wife left him after Peter dispapeared.
And remember, Walter was a bit of a bastard on his best days before he went crazy. I'm thinking full-on vengeance, justified by saving his own world at the cost of destroying Walter's, might not be out of line for his probable mindset.

I meant Peter. The Observers said he was important. And he should have stayed on that side.
I would not be surprised if Walternate is the Big Bad. Or maybe Elizabeth. (Elizabeth Bishop, really, show?)

If she's the Big Bad, I guess the art of losing really IS hard to master ...

It would fit with the apparent real reason Peter ended up staying here. I'm not entirely sure how much I buy that Walter did intend to take Peter back: he didn't sound sincere talking to his assistant, but he did sound sincere talking to Olivia.

I think he was fooling himself when he talked to his assistant, and to his Alternate Wife. He was pretty much done with delusion by the time he talked to Olivia.

I absolutely get Walter thinking he was doing the noble thing and intending to take Peter back. It's just the kind of denial I'd be in in that situation.
What a wonderful and touching episode; I really enjoyed (Dr?) Warren interjecting religion and Oppenheimer into the mix.
