Just started season 5...future, observer invasion.
Something I'm curious about... okay, fringe science, alternate realities, string theory, multiverse...that's my schtick, I'm into that poo.
But way back I noticed something. That's not my thing but seems to jump off the screen at me in nearly every episode.
Astrid loves the hell out of Walter.
At first it was kinda,"oh this kooky old man is kinda cool" ..but it progressed...the girl adores the hell out of him. Dotes on him like a mother hen. I recall her seeing a guy in season 1 but since that ended its all Walter...I know it's an oxymoron but they seem to have a platonic romance going on. Even Walt...always calling her by different names like it's not important to him...but in heavy moments he always calls her Astrid...and when her double from the other side was working with them he always got her name correct...but then would call his Astrid Axel or something.
At first I was thinking maybe she never had a grandpa or something and they filled that type of role for each other. But lots of rough events through seasons 3 and 4 revealed these two have strong feelings for each other.
I don't expect any sort of physical relationship to develop but it's entertaining to see this huge age gap relationship play out in the midst of world ending dilemmas.
Or, maybe I'm just a dirty old man that's jealous of Walt because I don't have a smart, beautiful young lady doting on me, lol.
Did any of you notice this?
