I... I don't know what to say! Except it's a perfect Walter vid! And the song choice! I'd never have thought of that song for Walter but it is a perfect one!

You've captured every contradiction about Walter and his various, tangled relationships with people around him! Especially Olivia's! I just now only noticed how Walter attempting to hold Olivia's face is a very similar gesture to the way he holds Peter's except it comes out a lot more creepy especially with the way Olivia cringes away from Walter! And Astrid! And his old assistant and the mother! Then that sudden breakdown as our last image of Walter! *shakes head* Wow.

ETA: And I just noticed this after re-watching! You've matched the line: 'Catching bullet with our teeth' with Olivia perfectly! Because that's how it feels most of the time when her back's to the wall and she goes for the risky moves but it also describes how awesome she is!

Thank you for vidding and sharing this!

Wow, thank you so much, I'm really glad you enjoyed it. The contradictions are what makes Walter's character so fascinating so I'm really glad they come through. I think the song has a lot of the credit for making that possible. Though John Noble also infuses the character with such depth and charisma it makes the task easy - which is not to take anything away from the other actors too. The shot where he tries to cup Olivia's face and she pulls away is, as yu note, a fantastic microcosm of Walter and Olivia's relationship, so tender and so disturbing simultaneously.

I'm also REALLY GLAD that you like the "catching bullets with our teeth" thing for Olivia because I really feel like it's apt too - that Walter is like some crazy science backup man when Olivia insists on going out there and, well, trying to catch bullets with her teeth (and succeeds).

Thanks so much for the comment! :D
