You just blew my mind @avclub-ac844b5ed7f4acb0f0ed6db3f2a5e399:disqus ! The possibility of Walter discombobulating another world with his broken promises and creating a ripple effect of unforseen consequences is totally logical. As a sissy-girl who wishes against all odds for a happy ending for our intrepid crew, I…

OK, so I'm wondering what the Observers think that space was where they were shooting at the Bishops. Do they just see it as contiguous with normal time-space? If they can't detect pocket universes (thanks for that catch, @avclub-749a8e6c231831ef7756db230b4359c8:disqus ), how do they perceive difference in spatial…

Question about pockets: are these things the answer to how the Observers have been popping in and out of places this whole time? Is that why the ones in this episode were able to just walk right into the pocket where the Bishops were and start shooting? And why Peter and the Observer he was rumbling with kept fritzing…

I think someone should call the Observers' mommies. They're hiding those ladies for a reason, right? I hypothesize that Winmark and Co. are scared shitless of the females of their species and would meekly return to the bespoiled future from whence they came and clean their rooms like good boys.

Yes, @Scrawler2:disqus  (below), Peter's instability at losing his child aligns with the show's recurrent theme of truncated fatherhood and the effects it has on the men who experience it. There must be something to the fact that this disconnection - of parental biology, if you will - is always accompanied by an act…

I think Walter's function is going to be to save Peter one last time, to pull him back from the mind-fucking tech abyss.

As soon as Peter, Walter, Olivia, and Cecil began their convoluted trek to escape the pocket universe (with the Observers headed into the building), I though to myself, "Cecil is gonna be the redshirt."
 
Yep.

I know this is just me feeling wistful but do we, any of us, think that any of these pocket universes might connect to alt-verse allies that our team was severed from when they cut the bridge? Isn't this show about those lost connections being restored?

I liked the motif of footprints in this episode. Walter walks across a dusty floor, leaving traces of his steps for Peter and Olivia to follow, crosses into an out-of-time/space pocket and speaks to Cecil, just for a moment, with the steely imperative authority of Walternate (and other incarnations of the man Peter's…

It was also probably driven by his raging waffle-hunger.

Yes, that one got me (and kept me) giggling for the next ten minutes. It's right up there with a Malcolm in the Middle episode where the boys are in a hospital trying to learn about babies and childbirth so they can help out around the house after their mom has her 5th kid. When a nurse/instructor tells them that the…
