I seriously love you right now. You made an epic post about Peter Bishop that was more than just, "hey, he's hot." (Which he is, but he is so much more than eye candy on this series and I think people occasionally forget that). He's my favourite character, and there's so much Walter and Olivia love that I feel Peter and Astrid and Broyles and Nina get grotesquely overlooked in their importance.
I found your religious thoughts intriguing. Sadly, despite my knowledge of Bad Robot's interest in the religious and supernatural (what with Rambaldi on Alias and the MiB in LOST), my thoughts never hit on the religious implications at all, aside from the Peter being asleep for 3 days thing (which my brain couldn't help but note).
22 years of studying church history and the influence of Greek and Aramaic on current culture and it went right over my head. I didn't think about the importance of Peter Bishop's name at all. My brain has gotten lazy since college, I think. So, thanks for that. I'll remember to keep an eye out for it in the future.
And the superficial side would like to thank you for the insane amounts of prettiness in this post. I had a bit of a staring problem at points. I need to go rewatch both series now so that I can stare at the pretty badassness some more.
Hah, I'm glad you enjoyed my thoughts and the total prettiness. =)
And yeah, the implications of Peter's name have always been one of the most intriguing things about his character for me.
I didn't really consider religious implications until the finale just with Peter being this son with this "famous story," and how he might be the sacrifice or the savior who could "heal the problems of this world," and disrupt certain fundamental physical laws. But we'll see.
