OMG Astrid was so cute when she asked him what her name was.
I think she has forgiven him for drugging her.

Add me please.

Aww I loved Astrid/Walter last night! It seems like she forgave him, I think. I loved that scene when she was like "What's my name?" And he said "It starts with an A." So cute! I'm glad to see them working together again!

***Enigma*** · 10-15-2008, 10:43 AM

I loved that scene too. So cute!

Addison Montgomery · 10-16-2008, 01:59 PM

Welcome, girls!

Have fun in here!

Adding all who requested

I agree with you girls, that scene was so cute! It sounds like she has forgiven him and i'm glad to see them working together again

Welcome all new peeps!

How awesome was it when she told him to "Get over (the pigeons)!"
And her "demanding" of him to say her name was IMO quite significant for their relationship.
I loved how she's being more firm with him, and not just letting his wackyness slide off her. I think the drugging incident might have had an emediate effect on that. I mean obviously she had forgiven him (and even though I am a little disappointed they didn't play with that a little more, the scenes we got were cute enough to make up for it) but it's nice to see her actually assert herself while still obviously liking the guy!

I was a bit disappointed that they didn't play that out more. It would have been great if she had asked him what her name was and he'd have been like: "Astrid. Why do ask, have you forgotten?" or something like that. I agree with Folie that the incident has made her aware of the fact that he isn't all that wacky after all, but still, you know.

There is an interview with Jasika Nicole posted on Fringe Televison.com and she mentions John and Astrid/Walter a lot! It's really adorable! I love how they seem like such good friends!

Quote:

TVGuide.com: Tell me about working with John.
Nicole: John is the funniest guy. I thought he would be very serious, and I was intimidated when I first met him, and I'm pretty sure he made fun of me because, you know, he likes to keep the mood light. Seeing him work is fascinating; it's like taking a master class. I just like to sit back and watch how he processes information and take notes. He's able to do a scene a million different ways within the span of five minutes because he's so able to connect with the artistic vision everyone has for this show.

TVGuide.com: But why can't Dr. Bishop ever remember Astrid's name?
Nicole: I wonder if it just started out as one joke, and it just ended up being so charming and funny that they kept it going. It's hard for me not to laugh; John's reading on it is so funny. We have this running joke where we're always trying to think of new names for Astrid. We were rehearsing a scene the other day and he called me "Afro," and I died. I fell on the floor laughing. He's also called me "Aspirin" and "Ostrich."

TVGuide.com: And when he finally does pay attention to her, he attacks and sedates her. Why do you think Astrid came back to the lab?
Nicole: At first, it was discouraging that they didn't put anything in that told you why Astrid returned. But I think that it sets up something to happen later."

I'm glad we're going to find out why she came back, and they aren't just going to throw it under the rug. And He called her 'Afro'!

Too funny!

sweet_zelda · 10-22-2008, 09:51 AM

Thank Goodness they don't just keep quiet about why she returned. I was gonna be very upset if they did

AFRO!? I so wanna see that on the show!

^LMAO me too!

And Walter called her Asterick last night.

I wonder if he will ever get her name right.

Addison Montgomery · 10-22-2008, 01:40 PM

Thanks for posting that here, Shanna!

OMG Walter calling Astrid Asterick was too hilarious!!

Little_Stewie · 10-26-2008, 04:02 PM

Actually, I think he called her 'Asterisk'.

Asterisk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

killed the lights · 10-26-2008, 04:22 PM

^LOL yeah he did. But in the interview that was posted, Jasika was saying how when she and John were rehearsing for a scene, he called her Afro.
