ericadawn16 Spoilery Thoughts on Fringe
Well, it certainly appears from that "father" line said to Peter that the baby stuff must be true. I know a lot of people were like "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" but I was always sort of intrigued. I like when fictional people have babies and I don't remember ever seeing Joshua Jackson as a father before in his roles except for that one "pregnancy scare" episode of Dawson's Creek and that doesn't really count.
Yes, Joshua Jackson was one of the reasons I started watching Fringe.
Anyway, I'm interested how it would affect his new closeness with Olivia. She's just beginning to accept things between them and admit how much she cares about him. What will she think about Fauxlivia's pregnancy? Especially since she now thinks of them as almost the same person? How will joint custody even work when you live in two different universes? How will this change the relationship between Walter and Peter? What will Walter think?
Now, all of these are intriguing questions and possibilities, but here is what I think may be the point to the baby story:
Walter said every relationship is reciprocal. We take something from the other person and they take something of us. It's how he tried to explain the machine turning Peter into a soldier.
So, what would happen when he holds his own son for the first time? Would it be like the Nanogenes recognizing the parental bond between Nancy and Jamie on Doctor Who? I think it will and I think that's how Peter gets saved.
I know it could be a girl and that would also be cute, but it feels like from a story perspective, they'd choose boy because of the father/son history between Peter and Walter and how that could affect his own son.
What do you guys think?
