Either that or it's Olivia's future child (not Bolivia cause she didn't have any powers) that was saved and sent to the past and he inherited his abilities from her.. ???Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-788645746622659643.post-27390562658192243732011-08-07T20:13:40.252-04:002011-08-07T20:13:40.252-04:00I always liked this episode.
Having heard so much...I always liked this episode.<br /><br />Having heard so much speculations and implications about Peter's lack of origin, there is something about this episode that seem to strike a chord.<br /><br />Something I have never thought about before. What if the boy is Peter. He seemed to have formed a bond with Olivia soon after they met. Look at the way their eyes meet. Look at the way he smiles at her. The silence speaks volumes. I see a familiarity. The reasons are physical as well. They haven't determined how he came to be in a sealed room. How he knows something before it happens is very temporal to me, as if he had foresight.<br /><br />I will save my own theories in my rewatch.Xindilinihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12025249705801409672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-788645746622659643.post-6562111026771869792011-08-03T12:36:31.875-04:002011-08-03T12:36:31.875-04:00About when the boy spots the observer in the end: ...About when the boy spots the observer in the end: could it be that the boy IS that particular observer(can't remember his name right now), since observers don't experience time as we humans do. Could it be that he was 'visiting' his younger self? Which would also mean that they grow (but we've only seen male observers. are the female too? how else could they be born?) and appearantly can be in the same place twice.(?!)<br /><br />Just thought of this while watching the episode again since a long time. I do like your theory too fringeaddict.<br /><br />By Anonymousfringefan#0Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-788645746622659643.post-91551906911297355692011-08-02T09:42:16.170-04:002011-08-02T09:42:16.170-04:00fringeaddict,

Maybe it's the shipper in me, but I always thought that the boy is somehow a part of Peter because the boy's focus is toward Olivia and wanting to help her feel better or less burdened by an unsolved case. It reminds me of the way Peter knows Olivia blames herself if a case remains unsolved and he does things to help find a solution asap, sometimes not even looking at what the consequences are for him. If the boy is part Observer (sort of), he is not meant to help (as stated by the Observers somewhere along the line) but the boy does help because he is part of Peter (sort of)... <br />Afterthought 2 came about after season 3. Maybe it's baby Henry because he existed then disappeared along with his father. I'm not exactly sure where i was going with this thought but the mother son bond could still be there even though it's the wrong 'mother'.fringeaddictnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-788645746622659643.post-68606546884655285972011-08-01T21:47:15.990-04:002011-08-01T21:47:15.990-04:00I vote for the latter-the boy is something more to...I vote for the latter-the boy is something more to her.fringeobsessedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02818528329131089151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-788645746622659643.post-87471009153082783202011-08-01T18:19:55.556-04:002011-08-01T18:19:55.556-04:00Hmmm, are these boys the origin of the Observers? ...Hmmm, are these boys the origin of the Observers? Yet, the boy is an empath and shows emotional response. The Observers are different in that the can read thought and sense emotion, but appear detached, with August being the noticeable exception. <br /><br />I wonder why Olivia developed a special bond with the child. Is it just because she is good with children, or is the boy something more to her?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12317988702848090808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-788645746622659643.post-9310766943780063992011-08-01T13:43:02.072-04:002011-08-01T13:43:02.072-04:00Nice, oranfly.
OK, before my head explodes...Liv ...Nice, oranfly. <br />OK, before my head explodes...Liv mentions about not liking the yellow M&M's because they remind her of "yucky medicine." Reminds me of Dani's description of "Bound" in which she said all one had to do to be home to the cold virus monster was drink the "powdery yellow stuff." What do the writers/executive producers have against the color yellow?<br /><br />This was the episode that switched my mind into red alert regarding Peter's status. When he's looking at the "boy's" GI Joe and says, "Funny, I remember the scar being on the other side," I just KNEW that had to be significant. So when Peter glimmered in "Jacksonville" it was AHA!<br /><br />I mentioned in "The Transformation" that Walter calls Peter "Boy," (and there are other places also in the series where he does that)and we have pointed out that The Observers also call Peter "Boy." IS it significant that here we have another "boy"? Are the boy in "Inner Child" and the Alternate Peter Bishop we know related in some way? <br /><br />Also, when Walter puts his cool neurostimulator on the boy's head we can hear audio, which includes, imo, the boy saying his name. I have played that clip over and over(yeah, obsessed, I know) and I get ..."Samuel Mattea." There's other words too but they seem unintelligible, then the boy starts shivvering and all focus on his thoughts/words is lost.<br /><br />One last thought. Walter saying that the boy is an empath is foreshadowing of Nick Lane being an empath in "Bad Dreams," which is coming up soon!fringeobsessedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02818528329131089151noreply@blogger.com
