I'm calling it: This is Alt-Bell

Perhaps we're actually dealing with Alt-Bell's alternate. That would be pretty wacky, right?

Shapeshifters, clones, soul magnets, time loops....

Pretty whacky indeed. It certainly piques my interest.

[tricked]

I wonder if Bell's office at the end of that elevator is somehow linked to .. some place out of time, connected by a bridge.. (elevator?) that allows him to survive timeline layers or something.

I definately think his method for crossing over is something different than any of the ways we've seen so far.

In both timelines he crosses over, but with no Peter, he cuts ties and fakes his death, while in a world with Peter, he keeps much closer tabs on MD, Walter and company.

Bell HAS to have the same agenda in both timelines. He DOES care for our people, but his bigger goal is more important.

He had to heroically do what we saw iN S2, because without that, the bigger plan would be forfeit.

Its all part of the game.

Yes I think his method is different somehow ... it's not about mass-for-mass, nor tearing a whole in the fabric of the universe to where it sends off bells and whistles in the Redverse ... there is some clue as to how he did this with Olivia me thinx, right under our noses. And he didn't use her Cortexiphan abilities to do so (since it took her quite some time to recover). Although the idea his office in the Twin Towers was linked somehow via a bridge makes me think "wormhole" or something. I'd be more inclined to think he created a place that caused a transition between the "C" and "G" vibrations as the elevator "slid down it" or something, sort of like a bridge but different perhaps.

This still doesn't totally account for Olivia being inserted back into our universe and her momentum being "paid back in full" though ..... to where she literally comes flying out of a vehicle as though the accident had just freshly happened on our side. Even though time lapsed on our side as well .... it was almost like she was erased from the Blueverse while she was over there in the Red, before she came flying back through that van window .... reminds me of Peter popping up in the Lake .... momentum deferred, but paid back in full.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm ...........

This is just a thought in my mind... but has anyone seen the movie "The Prestige" ?
Where Hugh Jackman's character preforms this illusion by essentially recreating another version of himself, over and over... only to kill the first version every time he preforms the trick? Maybe Belle is doing this as well? That would be why he keeps dying in car crashes and such.

Thoughts on that idea?

That movie had me on my seat the entire time. And my first thought is that it would be too much to introduce a load of Bell clones in the show .... however, in the same breath, I recall the comics and The Same Old Story ....

Perhaps we're actually dealing with Alt-Bell's alternate. That would be pretty wacky, right?

Or how about since we have CortexiBlueLivia inside our current Olivia's body .... as soon as Bell rings his little bell, the rewritten timeline Bell shows BACK up inside Olivia, and she ends up defeating this alter-Bell, by projecting old-Bell's consciousness into the new Bell lol .....

Awesome!

Probably should be careful with spoiling that movie. And sidenote: it wasn't necessarily the first version. He never knew which one he would be.

I don't think this is the case, creating clones. The writers are not sloppy enough to introduce yet another potentially confusing plot device in the last episode. Would very much weaken the strength of the storytelling, and we know they are good storytellers.

Very funny, you.

After re-watching, it seems likely that perhaps Alt-bell was the one Nina identified after the car crash. As for the haircut, maybe it's just to give him an evil look.

Teehee.
