i clocked this too...I have o neg which is universal...Walter can't be both...either a clever clue, or sloppy writing....
I dont know if anyone else noticed this thing
In Season 3 Episode 11
WALTER: Appears so. Type A positive. It's fairly common. I'm A positive along with one-third of the population.
In season 4 Episode 12
WALTER: Uh, see if you can find a first-aid kit. There might be an I.V. I'm "O" Negative, so I can donate.

So Walter is the Alpha & the "Oh"mega? Or the Aleph & the Ain (oxeye)?
The Oxeye Daisy is of the (unranked) kingdom of Asterid...

Interesting ....
One thing that 4.18 showed us, was that one universe resonated at a frequency of "G" whilst the other resonated at a frequency of "C". In trying to think about "what does the bridge resonate at then ?" I considered it might not resonate at any frequency at all .... rather it *absorbs* both frequencies in a stable manner without the stress of doing so tearing it apart. In some ways, I considered it to be a sort of "universal frequency" ... one size fits all.
The O negative thing ... interesting. The universal donor. Hmm ...
ETA: from the wiki ---
Almost always, an individual has the same blood group for life, but very rarely an individual's blood type changes through addition or suppression of an antigen in infection, malignancy, or autoimmune disease.[5][6][7][8] Another more common cause in blood type change is a bone marrow transplant. Bone-marrow transplants are performed for many leukemias and lymphomas, among other diseases. If a person receives bone marrow from someone who is a different ABO type (e.g., a type A patient receives a type O bone marrow), the patient's blood type will eventually convert to the donor's type.

Whilst it would be an interesting clue drop if Walter's blood type has changed due to either the time loop reset or a pathogen, antigen, etc., I fully feel like this was just a writing goof on the production part. I don't want to eat my words later, but we have already seen discontinuities this season (Batman in Red!verse). Could have just been a bit of carelessness, not like Walter's blood type is super important... OR IS IT?!?!?!!?![]()
I noticed that at once when I saw the episode on DVD recently.
I've thought Walter's blood type would be 'O' 'cause his interest on foods and sweets has been quite prominent from the start of this program. So I a bit surprised of hearing Walter's blood type for the first time.
And now, I'd like to say 'I knew it', but...
I guess the different directors in each episode couldn't remember the contradiction simply because of the time lag of each.
