There was an interview with Fringe actors and the producers and they said Peter was not a cortexiphan subject. I kinda knew that but when someone published a link to www.cortexifan.com I thought maybe I had been wrong about that. Now it turns out to be a fake site. Great - because my theory on Peter is: He's a higher being than Olivia and Nick. See, Nick and Olivia were born "normal" but were altered in some way to be soldiers. This is Dr. Bell's approach to "growing soldiers". Whereas, Walter CREATES them. He said so himself. Peter is not normal - either he's a clone of the original Peter who died or is a clone of his grandfather or is from a parallel universe. Peter is not "normal" - he already has heightened abilities - but he could be altered to increase his awareness and power. I think Peter is the ANTI-OLIVIA instrument. ahahahahaah WICKED BUT SWEET!!! Peter exists so that when Bell activates Olivia (one of his finest weapons) and others like her, Walter will be able to activate Peter!!! Olivia is a bomber aircraft, Peter is an ANTI-BOMBER AIRCRAFT - ahahahahahahaahah LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I LOVE ITTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!! Neither of them know what they were altered to do - but ALTERED THEY WERE!! ahahahahaaahahah Post reply 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you find this valuable? Do you?

IndigoRage	4. RE: Was Peter Bishop also a Cortexiphan test subject? May 29 2009, 5:05 PM EDT As I recall, in one episode, Walter mentioned to Olivia something about Peter's medical history, and she had no information about his medical history, so Walter was fine to let things go. In another, as I recall, Walter mentioned something to Peter about nearly loosing someone or loosing someone very dear to him. There is also the strange connection between Walter, Peter and September (aka The Observer). As Walter tells the tale, September saved them from drowning. Then there is the matter of the silver dollar coin September gave Walter, the same sort of coin left on the box containing the device Walter made to close openings to "the other side"... I'll further support this theory with evidence from There's More Than One of Everything: Near the end, we see a teary-eyed Walter in a graveyard, placing a blackened silver dollar (the one from the lock box) on a grave stone. When we see that gravestone it reads: Peter Bishop 1978-1985 This is most likely the grave of the "real" Peter Bishop, who died at age 7, and was "replaced" by the Peter we know, taken from "the other side". (more in next post) And finally, there are a number of references to events in Peter's past to things he does not remember, including events, illnesses and activities. My theory is this: Peter Bishop died as a child, either from the illness he had that prompted Walter to create a device capable of teleporting someone through both space and time (as he claimed, to retrieve some doctor who successfully treated the same illness Peter had), or in the near-drowning incident that prompted September to rescue Walter and Peter, or in some other manner. The Peter Bishop we know is actually Peter Bishop from "the other side". Post reply 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you find this valuable? Do you?
IndigoRage	5. Continued from Previous post May 29 2009, 5:13 PM EDT While we know little about September, we do know that his "native" language is very likely not English, and that he has demonstrated some measure of psychic ability - particularly the episode where he spoke with Peter, completing his sentences at first, then speaking his thoughts before he did. It is very possible that September's people all possess strong psychic abilities, which would include Peter, though being "taken" from them as a child, it is likely he never fully developed those abilities. More on this later... It also stands to reason that, if this is the case, September's rescuing of the Bishops was triggered by a sort of "psychic s-o-s" sent out by young Peter and picked up by September. Since I promised more on these abilities... It is very likely both Walter and Bell had more in-depth experience with both September's people and their abilities. It seems quite reasonable that Bell's desire to enable these same abilities in the people of "our side" is what prompted the development of Cortexiphan, to unlock those same abilities in a people phisologically identical to those from "the other side".

We know the original Peter is dead but I'm not convinced that our Peter is from another Reality. It is definitely a possibility but if Peter were from the other reality and was grabbed using the teleportation device he would've gone through the same thing Mr. Jones is going through. Since he's wearing bandages and we can see some of his flesh, it seems that some of the side-effects of using the device are topical. Peter doesn't have any of those. (Also, Jones' opaque eye is just creepy!) I think it's also possible that our Peter is a lab creation. One that Walter enhanced beyond what the original Peter was. This would explain the massive IQ, his ability to know what Walter knows (which also explains his ability to understand Walter even at his most incoherent moments) and his ability to adapt to any situation. Don't you find it interesting that in whatever situation Peter finds himself in, he is more than capable of handling each and every twist and turn? I just think i'ts too much of a coincidence.

LaurenWoodhamKing	7. RE: Was Peter Bishop also a Cortexiphan test subject? Sep 26 2009, 7:46 PM EDT Mr. Jones had the reaction from using the teleportation device, not the device used to cross over into the alternate reality. Peter could have very well been taken from the alternate reality with no side effects. Post reply Do you find this valuable?

So I wonder, what consequences could he be referring to? I'd found myself so engrossed in all this, I had to take a breather! The writers are fabulous! lol Post reply Do you find this valuable?

And Walter, too, would have, assuming he went to the other reality to get Peter. I slightly suspect Nina Sharp might have too, and that might have been how she knew of that guy, forget his name, to refer Olivia to him. The side effects could varry depending on the person, and Nina's Cancer could have been her's. That, or Olivia's super hearing is a side effect of Cortexiphan. Post reply Do you find this valuable?

It is about time he gets to have a power to show everybody he is more than olivia's bodyguard. Post reply Do you find this valuable?

Friday, 3:23 PM EST \| Post edited: Friday, 3:25 PM EST I don't the original Peter was a Cortexiphan, but the borrowed Peter was. That Peter Bishop was able to fake his way into a chemistry Professorship at MIT and be able to publish articles in academic Chemistry Journals is at least as bizarre as any recognized Fringe incident, if far less disgusting. I don't know if Walter Bishop has realized this yet. Post reply Do you find this valuable?
