It was nice to see a different side of Walter in The Equation, episode 8 of Fringe.
Walter wasn’t troubled to see Dashiell Kim, ex-fellow inmate, so much as stepping back into his own past.
A troubled Walter Bishop
For the first time, we were allowed to see a little more of the troubled mind that has long been hidden behind Walter’s role as the comic relief.
There’s much more to Walter Bishop’s story at St. Claire’s Mental Hospital that has yet to be unveiled, and we’ve hardly scratched the surface of his troubled past.
It’ll be interesting to see where this series takes his story.
This also leads us to straight into Peter’s story. There were some rare moments in this episode where he was overly protective of his father. Previously, all he seemed to want to do was escape him.
The dynamic was definitely there this episode between father and son.
I can’t wait to see what happens in the coming episodes as more of both their pasts is pieced together.
Much better episode…I have a commentary piece I may be writing about Fringe this weekend…but this was a good episode.
I’ll be awaiting that commentary piece then. I’ve definitely gotten hooked on the show since I caught up on the episodes a few weeks ago.
It’s quickly becoming one of my favorites.
Walter Bishop is my favorite character
although in this episode I really felt like they put him through too much as he had a trauma from that mental hospital :O
