Walterism:
Broyles: “Dr. Bishop, Hello. I appreciate you coming out tonight.”
Walter: “I’ve never seen a feature like this before. It warms your ass. It’s wonderful. Have you tried it?”
My Thoughts:
My Thoughts: I had mixed feelings about this episode. On one hand, -SPOILERS- the photos they show of the serial killer’s victims don’t seem to match the gruesome description of the way they were murdered. I mean…come on…do those people look like their faces were pulled up over their heads? On the other hand, Walter spits out a very curious line in this episode.
“If you’ve read my file, then you know the truth about Peter’s medical history.”

At the end of the episode, Walter tries to lull himself to sleep by reciting seemingly random numbers. Peter attempts to help by singing ‘Row Row Row Your Boat’ sending Walter into dream world. The image below is of the three bodies Walter is dreaming about…is it just me or do they look like clones? These are exactly the sort of questions that keeps me coming back for more.
Clones?
