Finally got around to watching this today. I loved the fact that our Peter is alt-Peter. And now we know Walter wasn't crazy talking to himself, he was talking to alt-Walt. I'm curious what happened to alt-Bell. And hopefully we meet alt-Olivia and alt-John Scott.

I was seriously expecting more Nimoy. We knew he was coming for so long, and once they reveal him, we see him for maybe 20 seconds? Disappointing.

The WTC reveal I liked though. Thought it was cool the small differences. I'm very curious to know what other differences there are between the two Earths. And are there more? How many other alt-Earths are there? Why is it just the one we're hearing about?

Will definitely be watching next season. I wonder who wrote ZFT? Our Walter or alt-Walter? Or both?
 
^Well we did hear Nimoy's voice in a video of Olivia as a child a few episodes back...
 
i wonder if they'll have olivia go dark-phoenix in season two or they'll stretch that out until the end of the series.
 
Yeah, I caught that other bomb shell. If the living Peter is the alternate reality Peter (probably is as he didn't remember the bit about the coins) and Walter brought him over to replace his dead son, he'll be pissed.

This could be why Peter didnt recognize any of the toys that Walter said was his. And why Peter dont remember being sick cause he never was.
Wonder if this was why Walter and Peters mom split up too.
 
I would have to rewatch the scene, but I didn't get the impression the other Walter in the asylum was from an alternate universe. More like a hallucination.

Yeah, if AltWalt could come over here so easily, he'd have takin his son back.
 
I don't know if this has already been said, but we don't know that Peter is from an alternate universe. We can probably safely enough assume that this universe's Peter is dead, but Walter didn't confirm that he was successful in "replacing what was lost". The Peter we've seen could still be from an alt universe, he could still be a clone, of the original Peter, or even a clone of Walter himself (they have cast very well, they do look very convincing as father and son, but that's because they look very very alike, father and son or the same person at 2 different ages?)

I think Walter stole Peter from the alternate universe.

And for what it's worth I saw a video about a week ago with Joshua Jackson and John Noble and Jackson was joking how everyone thought the WTC was the big reveal in the finale when it was actually also revealed that he is from the alternate universe as well.
I can't seem to find the link for it right now though.
 
He could be a clone. Anything's possible. But I seriously wouldn't think so. As the story is structured - with alternate universes, Walter's involvement with alt-universes, the big alt-universe reveal, Peter's complete but alternate memories, and lack of story emphasis on anything to do with cloning, it would be an awfully clumsy way to unfold the story.
 
"Around this time, something was lost to me, Peter. Something precious. I became convinced that if only I could cross over myself, then I could take from there what I had lost here."

Not a clone.
 
His intention was to cross over and get a replacement Peter, and I'm not saying he's failed, only that he has never said he succeeded, and in Fringe, that means anything's possible. I was rewatching the episode where we were first properly introduced to the observer, and I noticed that when Peter was captured and telepathically interrogated, Walter knew immediately that Peter would reveal the location of the beacon, because if Walter knew it, Peter knew it. Why?
