Reply With Quoteyou know, the woman in the photo (dashel's dead wife) looks eerily similar to what Nina Sharp would look like if she were laying face down in a pool of blood.
ok. I have no idea how I came to that conclusion but I'm kinda frightened.
So...I have a new theory. After reading the last few paragraphs of Walter's notes; he speaks of a box of secrets, hidden inside a lumpy mattress...and how its safe now...what if he's speaking literally? I know that everything on this show seems to be a metaphor, but what if, just perhaps- Walter was willing to go back to the hospital because he knew that once he was in, he would be able to retrieve something he had hidden there. He seemed to almost intentionally go overboard when in the "crazy rec room"; Walter has never seemed the type to physically accost someone. Its almost as if he manipilated them into keeping him there so that he could retrieve his "box of secrets...hidden in a lumpy mattress". We know he has stashed his research all over the place in the past- maybe he stashed his most valuable in the last place they would look....inside St. Claire's? I'm interested to see if that pops up in a future episode.

I have mixed feelings about Walter's references to the 'boy'. In his first comment he says...
"Dashiell and the boy with nothing in common-not even working in the same medium-not even knowing what they are trying to find--"
It seems obvious to me that he is talking about Ben here. Dashiell's medium being math and Ben's being music--neither knowing that they are unwittingly trying to solve the same puzzle. But the second comment...
"I have the boy now, he is the key, on some level he understands, even if he chafes and bristles"
Now this to me seems more like he's talking about Peter. Technically Walter doesn't have Ben...I'm sure Ben is safe and sound at home with his soon-to-be-crazy Dad. Peter, however is side by side with Walter, and the words 'chafe' and 'bristle' certainly sound more like descriptions of Peter's attitude than of Ben's.
Afterthought: Somebody commented on Walter being so involved in the case because Ben and his situation reminded him of Peter...maybe Walter was so discombobulated that Peter and Ben became one in the same to him.
Discombobulated --- that's a Mike Tyson word! Nobody could say it like him!Originally Posted by Scully
I think the second time he is talking about Peter, esp since he says "on some level he understands" and "he is the key". Remember that Walter said Peter had found his calling --- working with him (Walter).

Just seemed like the best word to describe his mental state I guess, I know that's how I would feel. lol
I agree for sure -I thought sometimes he was talking about Ben and others he was talking about Peter -I don't believe he thought Ben was Peter though.
Worth Noting: Dashiell is actually mentioned in the lab notes for “The Cure” which makes me wonder if we’ll ever meet Cassandra who is mentioned in the lab notes for “The Ghost Network“
Wasn't Cassandra the name of the Smoking-Man's ex-wife in X-Files (who was herself an abductee)?
Good one Fringeling...I thought I was the only X-Files fan left in the world.
Her name was Cassandra Spender, she raised Jeffrey with 'CSM' for several years in the 70's. Refer to the episodes named "One Son" & "Two Fathers" I believe.
Scully, YOU ARE NOT ALONE
There is still nothing like "watching x-files with no lights on" ;-)
BTW, I noticed your avatar is a pic of a little dog. His name wouldn't be Quiqueg would it ?
