On my rewatch, currently by season 2. I always find it amazing how the few seconds we see Walter reunited with his whole Brain (s2e10), he shows his real past self. An arrogant, agressive and potent scientist.

So different from the humble, fuzzy and addled Walter Bishop we get to know in the series.

In the same episode Ollivia says: I think getting crazy made him a better person.

There's a little thing John Noble does that I didn't notice the first time through. Whenever someone asks Walter something connected to Peter's childhood or his past, Walter will often look at Peter before he answers. Sometimes it's barely a glance. Knowing where that story goes makes those moments feel completely different because it looks less like Walter is remembering and more like he's checking what Peter knows.

Just recently finished rewatch number .... lost count 3 yrs ago. Ready to move on, find something interesting. But I just want Walter and Peter and Olivia and Astrid and... and... 😭 well, looks like flight 627 from Hamburg is going down.. again. ✈ 🦔
