I read the summary at Spoiler TV. I'm happy, that we're getting a glimpse of the machine so soon

Josh probably has some time off since they're apparently filming the episode with their younger versions, so the grown ups won't be much needed.

What does everyone think about the possible effects of the machine on Peter. I think it may cause him some brain damage or at least there is a serious risk of that happening.

BlueUniverse

Since Peter seems to be the power source of the machine, I think it could drain him of energy. Whatever he ends up doing with that thing, it's possible, that it will kill him.

I have a difficult time even speculating on what that machine might do to Peter, since I haven't a clue what exactly it's suppose to do...create or destroy is rather all encompassing and light on details.

"Reciprocity?" - BLUE UNIVERSE: You built the machine; we build the machine.
RED UNIVERSE: You screwed up our world; we screw up yours. or You came over here; we're coming over there.

In other news It had been rumored that Josh and Diane were planning a secret wedding over the holiday. Now, there are photographs of them (on vacation and at hollywood events) wearing gold bands on their fingers. No official comment yet, but what do you think?

I'm clueless when it comes to mythology spec! If I had to guess I'd say the machine would probably kill him.

BlueUniverse

Good point! I don't think we'll get the whole picture, of what the machine means for Peter so soon, because it's not complete yet, but we should start getting an idea during the episode. I suppose they'll start with some tests, nothing major yet.

Why are you so tragic??
Yes, walter thinks that the machine could kill Peter because of the picture september gave to Olivia. But how does he really know about that? I think nothing! Nina also said that "it's only a picture..", so WE viewers have to consider other possibilities. For me that machine doesn't kill peter if HE has the power to control it. What if the contact with the machine, that we'll see in "reciprocity" helps peter to remember something about him or reactivates his dormant cells slowly?

This is another interesting theory posted by an user on "Fringebloggers":

That totally ties into the theory of Peter being special and haveing these yet to be revealed abilities that make him so special

In other words, Peter is the vacuum and the machine only and "instrument"

Sandrinha

I don't think Peter is the whole thing when it relates to that machine. Yes the machine obviously only works with Peter but it's sort of like Olivia and her ability to switch the lights off with her mind, the key may be in Peter's childhood and his mental abilities (the guys does have an IQ of 190 right!?).

BlueUniverse

Heh, sorry! Fringe hasn't given us a moment of happiness lately.

That's an interesting theory, actually. Peter described the machine as "symbiotic in nature", maybe both Peter and the machine are the vacuum.

*aLESSANDRA*

Whatever the machine will do to him, I don't think it will kill him! At least that's what I'm wishing for!

Debbie23

But we're assuming that once the machine is built that Peters even going to use it. Remember a key part of the season so far has been highlighted by both Liv and Peter, "there has to be another way".

BlueUniverse

I think it's safe to assume, that he'll use it, otherwise this storyline would be too anti-climatic.

Debbie23

I'm not saying for sure he won't. I'm not exactly great when it comes to science/mythology stuff, but all we know about the machine is that Walternate designed it to help destroy this world. It's a volatile situation they are in, and we still need to discover whether using the machine would still destroy this world. And again, we go back to "there has to be another way". Both Peter and Olivia have said they don't want to have to destroy any world, they don't want to kills possibly billions of people. If Peter has to believe there is another way at this point, then so do I.

I just at this point don't want him to use the machine so let me be in denial!
