Birthplace
Where did we learn that Walter Bishop was born in London?--Jim 14:18, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
- - Wikipedia lists that he is born in 1946 in Cambridge. They reference The Bishop Revival, but I'm not sure this is correct. Does anyone know? If not, I will check this later. --Podex 07:52, 23 March 2012 (MST)
- - It is London according to the showrunners in July 2008. Minutes before they premiered the Pilot episode they handed-out this as part of their press kit on the characters. -- –DocH– my edits
Relationship to Lost
I have a theory about Doctor Walter Bishop and all this Fringe science being actually connected with what's going on in Lost.
I would see Daniel Faraday's character as a scientific studying the same area as W. Bishop, who also happened to be in MA recently DF.
Also, I believe that Danielle Rousseau DR "who claimed to have arrived on the Island with a science team in 1988" had some connection with either Walter Bishop or his work, since the "Science Team" has not yet been revealed.
Some of the technologies in we've been seeing in Fringe (the robot arm?) are no way THAT advanced, but Time Travelling (as suggested by Lost) would explain a company like Massive Dynamic to get such advances in early years.
Finally, the closeness between 2 relevant dates
1988 - Rousseau's team gets to the island
1991 - Walter Bishop get's institutionalized at St. Claire's Hospital
This 2 dates are suspiciously closea and would make plausible that Bishop had some involvement in whatever this expedition was for.
Any comments, facts that would back up this theory or inconsistencies are welcome.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by EKI (talk • contribs) .
Renaming to Walter Bishop
Agree. Consistency is a virtue.<smile>--Jim 21:29, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
Walter Bishop: Similar to Nikolai Tesla?
Nikolai Tesla, like Walter Bishop, was famously eccentric (he had a love affair with a pigeon, according to wikipedia) and his research has been used to support various occult notions (= fringe science.) Is Bishop meant to put us in mind of Tesla? -- originally posted by Kass
Updates
We really have to do a better job at updating Walter's page as new episodes are released. It is really falling behind. Interesting how we have practically nothing on his relationship with Bell, the death of his son, his relationship with Observers, experiments conducted (including on Olivia!), etc.--LabGo 02:21, 22 November 2009 (UTC)
