Walter, GOAT series character.

Walter is the GOAT only because of John Noble's breathtakingly excellent portrayal of him. Probably the best acting performance in TV history. No hyperbole.

Would love to hear the OP's reaction when he finds out who plays William Bell

I did a rewatch last month since the original airings and it’s so much better when you can binge it.

Walter is the goat.

I watched the first couple of episodes because of recommendations on here, and I just couldn't get into it. I didn't think that it was bad or anything, just not really my thing. Maybe I will give it another try.

You have to slog through the first half of the first season. Then it starts rolling.

Agree 100%. As others have said, it gets way better once they start connecting dots.

Welcome to the club. It's an amazing show, enjoy the ride. Also, we did an official rewatch thread several years ago, so feel free to follow along if you're so inclined (just avoid the initial post as it has a synopsis from the final episodes). We had a good time with that thread. FYI, if you are interested in seeing the discussion as you watch along, the discussion on episode 1 starts on page 8 of the thread.

So I just started this as well and love to read discussions on episodes... bit mistake going into that one. I mean it's literally just spoiler central with every other post saying "oh wow this line from episode one definitely has to do with.. blank later on." If it's your first time I highly suggest avoiding this rewatch thread

Unless you want the entire show spoiled

Oh damn. I guess that’s a good point. Sorry about that then.

I do remember we tried to not do that so much be initially there were several people interested that had never seen the show before. But eventually it was basically just three or four of us so I’m sure the spoiler talk got worse later in the thread.
