BTW I find it interesting no one has mentioned on this board or Scott’s that Bell operated on Walter because WALTER asked him to do it. Bell said Walter was afraid of what he was becoming. This makes a great deal of sense due to all the experimentation and less than noble projects Walter and Bell were conducting. It’s quite obvious at some point Walter decided he had to radically do something to change his nature (hence the defiant and arrogant Walter we saw when fully assembled). In other words Walter saw he was becoming Eeeevil and decided a lobotomy was the way to go. Walternate had no such reservations (and no alternate Bell to counsel him) and the kidnapping of Peter probably fueled his ambition and drove him further into a cold calculating SOB.

BTW I found alternate-Broyle a bit… unconvincing… I mean he dresses radically different, like everyone else, with the super duper G.I. Joe look… but he acts practically the same… no difference. I expected an eye patch and a transformation into something resembling Ultimate Nick Fury.
