Does anyone else feel like this is show saying goodbye to the audience? Particularly "I don't want you to be sad. The time we had together, we stole. I cheated fate to be with you, and we shouldn't have had that time together, but we did." Anyone who has followed the show's ratings know it shouldn't have survived for 5 seasons, but it did. It appeared to be destined to be cancelling. We were always on 'stolen time'. I love you Fringe, you are my favourite thing.

Omg yes. I came to this conclusion. I was watching again recently and I thought back on all his moments in the show and I thought how much I admired him as an actor.

"You are my favorite thing, Peter, my very favorite thing." this quote is just too perfect for this character, too perfect.

John Noble is a master of his craft. Probably the finest actor to star in a science fiction show. He grounds everything to reality, believable in every emotion, down to the most subtle facial expression. Absolutely criminal that his perfomance in this show is underappreciated and overlooked to this day. Hopefully, in time, he gets the credit and recognition he deserves.

I saw John Noble today at NZ comic con. He was amazing and told great stories about LOTR and he clearly loved working on Fringe. Great guy, he quoted the "My very favorite thing" line and put emotion into it, for a split second and he was Walter Bishop again. Fantastic.

This scene and the one when Peter first calls Walter ‘Dad’. I’m never brought to tears by films/tv shows, but Fringe...

Few things can make me sob like I do when I watch this scene, partly because I feel the message on the video is not just for Peter but for us fans- Walter saying goodbye to ALL of us who love him dearly, and a reminder that despite the sadness we feel about losing him (and Fringe) forever, we were enjoying these moments on stolen time- it seemed impossible that we'd have a 5th season to wrap things up, but we did, and we were blessed to have this extra time with the family we've grown to love.

This show... all of the character are so human and the relationships are so genuine.

Absolutely the best father/son moment ever put to film! Outstanding show. Brilliantly cast. Excellently perfect writing. John Noble is simply amazing and easily one of my favorite actors. This entire TV series role, the way he portrays it, along with this scene from the show's ending, could not have been done as eloquently or perfectly as Mr. Noble played it. He was certainly born to play Walter Bishop. Perfect actor to a perfect role.

you speak from the bottom of my heart

My favorite scene from all of Fringe and this it shows why we loved and championed this show so passionately. It was our very favorite thing.

I watched the Fringe series for the sci-fi aspect of it, but damn, the character development towards the story was so, so good. The last episode of S.5 was like cutting onions for me. Wished there was at least one more season...

The entire cast of this show is fantastic, but John Noble as Walter Bishop is simply *chef's kiss*. As much as I love Anna Torv as Olivia and Joshua Jackson as Peter, this show simply wouldn't be as fantastic as it is without Walter's eccentric personality and the way he and Peter play off each other. (And we, of course, get a taste of just how different Walter would have been without Peter in season 4). This scene personifies everything that is great about John Noble's brilliant acting, as well as the immense love he and Peter share. The way Peter went from not even wanting to hear his father's name in the first episode, to "I love you, Dad" at the end is pure perfection. Beautiful character growth, beautiful acting. Thank you, Fringe, for 5 wonderful seasons!

Omg, I told myself I wouldn't cry during the finale, but I gave up when this scene came on. I kept on crying after this scene ended because it was just so sad! Without a doubt the best scene of season five. John Noble is amazing...

My favorite show of all time. Many shows don't get to go out on their own terms, much less a gut punching high note like this. Truly a masterpiece.

I'm not crying, you're crying. Ok, that was a lie - I'm definitely crying. I can't help but also think of my own father, especially now that he's only a couple years from 90 and has suffered a stroke. I'm thankful for the time I have with him, because it definitely feels stolen. Might have lost him when it happened and although it affected him, he's still here and I'm thankful every day ❤️

It was so underrated it's a crime. Because it's just fantastic, and John Noble just steals the show.

So good.

Me and my girlfriend broke up and even though this is a father and some this scene breaks my heart. She was my favourite thing but we couldn't stay together, very much like Walter and Peter. I can never not cry at this scene.

crying here... after all this time. Im rewatching fringe for the 5th time... and i love it more and more

The best scene in the whole tv show history. When Walter says that he and Peter were not destined to be together, my heart collapses. Because it’s true. They were not. Walter changed everything. He and his family are enemy of destiny, just like the last episode’s title. Amazing.

The very best show. I miss it.

@@johnnymike8971 not exactly, more like the show became more serialized WHEN the ratings dropped. Basically, Fox changed the airing day from Thursday to Friday and let the creators do whatever they want. I still remember it clear, it was like that S1: Aired on Mondays after American Idol i.e. ratings are huge S2: Moved to Thursday against a huge competition (The Office, Grey's Anatomy aired on Thursday), starts to day S3: Starts on Thursdays, moved to Fridays after a couple episodes, I remember the creators saying it was a good thing, because they can do what they want now. The show lived on Friday until its finale.

One of the most viewer-rewarding sci fi shows to watch. Great acting, beautiful story arcs, and excellent cinematography, sound and effects.

Out of all the things about the invasion is erased But this part, this recording will remain for his son to find in the alternate timeline. It's comforting to at least know that Peter will know what happened after the story ends

Noble definitely deserved many prizes for his amazing acting and the incredible character Walter Bishop is 🧡.

My all time favorite show. Show had the best final season of any show to date. So many tear jerking moments in this season.

I am glad Peter & Walter get to hugged it out , but i wish somehow we can see how's Walter doing in the future... just a glimpse of his quirky-self enjoying the future and perhaps meeting his great-grand children

Watching this show makes me craving for a father that I will never have. His love for Peter is endless..

Thank you, Walter, for saving us in 2015.

John Noble = god

Heart is breaking 💔

The music just enhances it

The most powerful thing about this scene is how Peter, ever the wise-cracking smart ass, just goes silent and starts crying. He knows, there is nothing he could possibly say that would either change the course of events, or completely compensate his father for the sacrifice he is about to make, it evokes a deep instinct that I think only a father could understand, or, at best, the son of a long suffering father, could understand. My reasoning is that I had to watch my father lose my mother to pancreatic cancer. After 28 years of marriage, my father has always been a rock, a completely immoveable object, and watching him fall to his knees and weep beside my mother is something that will haunt me for the rest of my life. It hurt to lose my mother, but to see what it did to my father hurt as much if not more. I know that if he could have, he would have moved heaven and Earth to trade places with her, and would have been happy to do so. Not for his own sake but for his wife, and myself and my sister, to spare us the pain, at least according to his own judgement. He was never perfect, but he has always put the rest of us first. Maybe this is just weepy emotional nonsense, but all I can say is hug your parents folks. You only get so much time with them and when they're gone you're left with more questions than answers, and a hole in your very soul. When they are there for you, they always leave such enormous footprints to fill.
