Ode to Walter Bishop (Fox’s Fringe)

January 19, 2009

Per my previous post, here’s my ode to Walter Bishop. This morning our babysitter was quite frigthened by the large wooden Walter in our garage. But I just love the lil’ guy. It’s nice to be sponsored by a show that I love so much- Fringe’s season debut is Tuesday night. I’ll be glued to that giant monitor without a keyboard.

Go easy on me here, peeps. It took a lot of courage for me to break out the guitar and sing. But I’m willing to go the length to let the world know about Walter Bishop (played by actor John Noble). Now I gotta convince Fox to let me meet him!

Holy shit dude, more songs. Reminds me of those ’70s songs with the reverb. Just need a soft lens!

2 Marilyn January 19, 2009 at 4:20 pm

Nice song! And you did a pretty good job of explaining the premise of the show. I agree; Walter does have all the best lines.

BTW, if you get Fox to let you meet John Noble, can you get them to let me meet Keifer Sutherland?

@1- now I have no excuse on taking so long on the Kitty parody! It’s unfortunately too darned noisy here to record anything.

@2 Maryland- if I meet Noble, I will demand they arrange a Keifer/Marilyn dinner. :)

4 Walter Bishop January 19, 2009 at 4:32 pm

Sponsorship deal with Fox – pretty damn impressive.

5 NutCheese January 19, 2009 at 4:45 pm

That video is just one big wet dream of yours. Thank you for sharing.

6 Marilyn January 19, 2009 at 4:48 pm

@3: Thank you!!! And you actually spelled my name correctly; the second time, anyway! ;-)

7 ... January 19, 2009 at 6:18 pm

Sweet fingerstyle! Now get your wife to tune that thing.

8 Peter Coffin January 19, 2009 at 6:22 pm

You may have no excuse, but on the flipside, I know that you at least possess some musical talent now. I was honestly scared you’d sound like my mean-spirited lispy Nalts impression guide track.

9 JimmerSD January 19, 2009 at 6:53 pm

Jim Croce would be jealous! So much talent! Heck I’m jealous over here.

(Wipes nose and moves on)

10 Nalts January 19, 2009 at 7:13 pm

@11 At least you leave good comments, JimmerSD. Filling in for Sukatra? Where is she?!

11 jischinger January 19, 2009 at 9:25 pm

Nalts Meets Walter: a Vicodin Dream Scape – click and droll away…

12 jischinger January 19, 2009 at 9:27 pm

@3 say, if you can arrange dinner between Keifer and Maryland can you get me into Harvard?

13 Brindle January 20, 2009 at 12:57 am

@14
how about get me into harvard? I actually have a shot at being useful to life.

14 DahliaK January 20, 2009 at 7:36 am

I liked the way you synched your hands to the guitar notes. Honest, no one would ever know it wasn’t your own playing.

Okay dude, you have me convinced. I’m going to start watching Fringe. One person converted, 300 million to go. :D

15 Slater January 20, 2009 at 7:44 am

Listening to you, it was like for a moment, O my brothers, some great bird had flown into the milkbar and I felt all the malenky little hairs on my plott standing endwise and the shivers crawling up like slow malenky lizards and then down again.

16 Joe Bua January 20, 2009 at 12:25 pm

Noble’s the best thing in the show.

Love it. Love Walter and his wacky, druggy, geniusy vibe.

And I think I might have to post your clip at my blog as well.

Finally back tonight, I’ll have to practice only fast forwarding the DVR 60 seconds, it’s been a while you know.

17 sukatra January 20, 2009 at 2:56 pm

You are so gay for that guy. Oh well, at least he’s better looking than Daisy Whitney.

18 sukatra January 20, 2009 at 2:56 pm

Sorry Daisy. That was totally uncalled for.

19 sukatra January 20, 2009 at 10:32 pm

So I watched my first episode of fringe tonight, and I gotta say, Walter Bishop did not say a SINGLE thing that I found funny or unusual in the way that you represented. I can see that you have allowed your judgment to be clouded by your unnatural sexual desire for a cardboard cutout of a man with a purple face.

Perv.

20 poiuyt January 20, 2009 at 10:44 pm

he’s just sayin he likes it cause he’s gettin paid. it’s all about the Benjamins w/nalts

21 DahliaK January 21, 2009 at 12:57 pm

@21 – me too. I’m trying to get on this bandwagon, but I keep falling off. Not to mention it’s the kind of plot that doesn’t really do it for me.

Disclaimer: I was falling asleep during it (no reflection on the show) and don’t really know what it was about. I don’t think the blonde is all that pretty, though.

22 Marilyn January 21, 2009 at 4:09 pm

@21 & 23:
Last night’s episode may not have contained as many pithy remarks as usual from Walter, but you gotta love the huge cold virus coming out of everyone’s mouth! Creepy! THAT’S what I love about the show.

And you also didn’t see anything about Massive Dynamics, the company that may be behind the “pattern”, which is the string of fringe science “events” that’s been afflicting the Boston area, which is where the show is set.

It’s really the “X-Files” sense of the show (conspiracies and creepiness), that gets me to watch every Tuesday.

23 Marilyn January 21, 2009 at 4:12 pm

Oh, and Kevin; make sure you set up that meeting between me and Keifer before you go about getting ANYONE into Harvard. :-)

24 Brindle January 21, 2009 at 4:21 pm

@24

you sure it’s not just the hot guys?

25 Marilyn January 21, 2009 at 7:50 pm

@26: Keifer’s the only guy for me right now (“24″ is one of my favorite shows). Oh, and David Duchovny.

Besides, there really aren’t any hot guys on “Fringe”

26 marquisdejolie January 21, 2009 at 8:18 pm

It’s very very hard to get someone committed here in the piney woods. Absurdly hard. I think it has something to do with the area’s general population low I.Q. I mean, how do you tell stupid from crazy?

27 DahliaK January 22, 2009 at 7:13 am

That’s a good point, MDJ, or more to the point, how do you tell crazy from crazy? If the people doing the distinguishing themselves are fairly marginal, how are they going to determine that something is “abnormal”?

Now. Enough of this talk about getting someone into Harvard – Nalts doesn’t have that kind of clout. I would like to go on record predicting, however, that Nalts will be invited to a White House function sometime in the next 8 years. Kind of a court jester, if you will.

28 marquisdejolie January 22, 2009 at 10:13 am

If he gets to Washington D.C. he’d better not drink the water. If I cheated on my income taxes to the tune of $34,000, I’d be in jail. But if you do it in Washington, they put you in charge of the treasury. Must be some crazy juice in the water there.

29 Marilyn January 22, 2009 at 6:42 pm

@29: Just so long as he sets up a meeting with me and Kiefer first!!

30 marquisdejolie January 22, 2009 at 10:52 pm

I’ve met Keifer at The Frolic Club. He’s very very short and likes 70′s era Pontiac convertibles.

31 marquisdejolie January 22, 2009 at 10:54 pm

And Julia Roberts saw my wangdoodle in The Frolic Club’s mens room.
