Nina was Walter's lab assistant?

[Fringeling]

Okay, Walter dropped quite a bit of info when he referred to his lab asst that got killed as "her". I don't know if this has been postulated yet, but is it possible that Nina was Walter and William's lab asst that got "killed"? After all, Nina knew Walter and Peter both (when Peter was younger). I'm sure this has been mentioned somewhere else ----- so forgive me if this is "old theory". Perhaps that is how she lost her arm? I know it has been speculated she lost it trying something similiar to what Loeb tried (I think D-Roc started that thread), but could she have done it being the fateful lab partner that got Walter locked up? Or perhaps William Bell and Nina conspired against Walter, set him up, and then re-animated Nina?

Like I said, forigve me if the above has already been mentioned .....:camp:

[Yorel]

I would not be surprised.

Or Nina could actually be William bell.

The Bishop family does not seem to quite remember what happened to them in this show.

Walter does not remember much from his past and Peter has no clue whatsoever of what happened to him in his youth.

It's looking more and more possible isn't it?

I've often speculated that perhaps that bionic arm of hers isn't the only implant that she has. Whilst this goes against her Cancer story, I'd be intrigued to see if she was literally killed in the lab accident, and was 'reconstructed' by Bellie? This, of course, depends on her being the lab assistant - she's cetainly got a head for science, I wouldn't discount the idea!

[Daisy]

I'd buy that -except she seems less concerned with science and more with management. But generally I like the thought.

[steph6550]

that is a great theory. It is very possible that she was the lab assistant to Bishop and Bell. Maybe even she and Bell planned the lab explosion to get rid of Walter because he began hiding things like the time traveling machine. And then when William Bell (Jones) got put in prison and needed out, they made sure Walter got out of St. Claires to be able to solve the things that needed to be done, like find out about Little Hill so that they could get the pieces of the machine and complete the escape. Just some more thoughts....

Nina did loose that arm...maybe they made Walter believe that Nina died..

If Nina ends up being the lab assistant I think this is the most plausible situation. Either her death was staged, or she almost died but Walter didn't know and they just pretended that she did.

That's a really cool idea. And yeah, the minute Walter said the assitant was a "her" I called it as being Nina.

Personally, I think Nina and William Bell set Walter up for the explosion/*supposed* assistant's death to send him on to St. Claires, so they could make the most of his research.

So do you think that's what Nina was doing in London --- going to see Bellie? :sunny:

[ylopez2007]

Maybe Nina was saying the truth about losing her arm bacuse of cancer.... but can radiation be a cause too?!:confused0006:

[morval]

i really hope that nina is not the assistant. i would rather that they bring in another actor at some point in the future and shock walter or just leave her dead.

[D-Roc]

This is what has been bugging me lately. She clearly has scientific priorities, but I also get a sense that she's much more corporate minded than anything else. Of course corporations need all sorts of people to make them function, but Nina is interesting because she is the epitome of 'Massive Dynamic' and has led it in Bellie's absense, yet her prowess seems to lie in business relations and strategic advantage, rather than pure science.

But she's no fool, she understands the things that are being spoken to her whilst liaising with the tech people.

I guess I just find her make-up very interesting..I can't wait to peel back the layers..and to see whether she stands in relation to Bellie..whom she is either protecting..or hiding for her own purposes.

That's a good idea. It would really give add more complexity to her character. She seems to have a real compassionate side, yet she is very ambitious. Could she do such a thing to her old 'friend' Walter? I'd love to find out, and to discover their underlying motivations! If your theory is on the right path, perhaps they wanted to protect the world from Walter? Who knows what he was really like back in the day:confused0066: ..or maybe their motivation was one of greed and ambition?

The physical absense of Bellie yet the increasing mentioning of his name in the show is really building towards something. I can't wait to see where the remaining episodes of season 1 take us! Hopefully we'll find out the true identity of Bellie before season 2:hope:

Yep, certainly possible. Do we know what stage Nina's Cancer was in?:confused0006:

[theVOID]

If William bell is any character we have seen before (other than German Prisoner at this point) i'm going to stop watching this show.

If he is Peter, Walter, Nina, The Observer OR Broyles I am going to go kick JJ's dumb ass to the curb.

[edubby2003]

i like where this is going

[Fringeling]

Do we know what stage Nina's Cancer was in?:confused0006:

I work in cardiology, not oncology ----- however, if one of her main symptoms was only fatigue knowing her stage is kind of difficult considering the cancer effected her arm. If she had a tumor on her arm somewhere, she would have probably recognized it however. If it was some kind of bone cancer, there is usually pain associated with it -- which she apparently lacked. I cannot begin to guess what type of cancer it was, but if it was some type of bone cancer and she simply lacked the pain symptom associated with it it was probably in its earlier stages. Also, I would expect fever and weight loss, which she also appeared to lack. Certain kinds of bone cancers can apparently metastasize to other areas of the body rapidly (especially if they originate in the long bones I believe), so her arm could have been removed for this reason. If her cancer did not originate in the bone, it's possible then that it was more advanced. It could say, originiate in her breast and metastasize to the bone in her arm. But like I said, oncology is not my thing ----- :party0011:

[obsidian]

For one who says they aren't specialized in oncology, that was really helpful! :P

Although, how do we know that she didn't have the other symptoms you mentioned? Am I missing something?

I'm just "deducing" it from the fact that she was still able to run in the Boston Marathon, and the only symptom she mentioned was a strange tiredness. Being a runner, I'm assuming she was accutely aware of her physical condition, so she probably would have had any strange pains checked out, as well as any visible skin abnormalities/tumors/lumps under the skin in her arm, etc. And I'm basing all of this off her bio off the web ... so .... :o

Alright, gotcha. ;D

(Although, Nina may have... underplayed the severity of her symptoms either because it related to having framed Walter (if it's true) or because she actually does have more than a prosthetic arm and she didn't want any suspicions of such.)
