I find myself crying often at parts with Walter expressing his love for Peter, and his overall tenderness to others. I only started watching the show 2 months ago, and its really gotten a grip of me (half way through season 4 now), and its due to Walter.
I was looking for another sci fi show (in the vein that i love xfiles), and hadnt come across Fringe before. When i started watching it, i was really unsure, and doubted i would stick with it, even upto episode 13-15 in season 1.
However the one thing, which is really surprising for me, is the allure of Walter, his depth, his gentle nature, his empathy, his love for Peter, his anchor or humanity. It just cuts through me at times, and i really just find him wonderful in so many ways.
dont have anywhere else to express this, so sharing here - thats all
