Birthplace

Where did we learn that Walter Bishop was born in London?--Jim in Georgia Talk Contribs 14:18, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

Relationship to Lost

I have a theory about Dr. Walter Bishop and all this Fringe science being actually connected with what's going on in Lost.

I would see Daniel Faraday's character as a scientific studying the same area as W. Bishop, who also happened to be in MA recently (http://lostpedia.com/wiki/Daniel_Faraday#In_America).

Also, I believe that Danielle Rousseau (http://lostpedia.com/wiki/Danielle_Rousseau) "who claimed to have arrived on the Island with a science team in 1988" had some connection with either Walter Bishop or his work, since the "Science Team" has not yet been revealed.

Some of the technologies in we've been seeing in Fringe (the robot arm?) are no way THAT advanced, but Time Travelling (as suggested by Lost) would explain a company like Massive Dynamic to get such advances in early years.

Finally, the closeness between 2 relevant dates 1988 - Rousseau's team gets to the island 1991 - Walter Bishop get's institutionalized at St. Claire's Hospital This 2 dates are suspiciously closea and would make plausible that Bishop had some involvement in whatever this expedition was for.

Any comments, facts that would back up this theory or inconsistencies are welcome.

Renaming to Walter Bishop

Agree. Consistency is a virtue.<smile>--Jim in Georgia Talk Contribs 21:29, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

Walter Bishop: similar to Nikolai Tesla?

Nikolai Tesla, like Walter Bishop, was famously eccentric (he had a love affair with a pigeon, according to wikipedia) and his research has been used to support various occult notions (= fringe science.) Is Bishop meant to put us in mind of Tesla? -- originally posted by Kass

Updates

We really have to do a better job at updating Walter's page as new episodes are released. It is really falling behind. Interesting how we have practically nothing on his relationship with Bell, the death of his son, his relationship with Observers, experiments conducted (including on Olivia!), etc.--Labgo ^Talk^|^Contribs 02:21, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

Asperger's Syndrome and Empathy

I am removing the implication that all people with Asperger's Syndrome lack empathy and moral boundaries. This language is discriminatory and incorrect. See http://www.healthzone.ca/health/article/633688 Glarbl blarbl 23:59, 5 December 2009 (UTC)
