The alternate universe, Secretary of Defense version of Walter Bishop deemed "Walternate". In the winter of 1985, his son Peter was kidnapped by our universe's Walter. Six months later, he ruined his marriage by obsessively trying to find Peter. In the interval 24 years, he became the Secretary of Defense, built mercury-blooded shapeshifters to ingratiate into our universe's society and found pieces of an ancient machine that destroys universes.

In 2010, he made contact with Peter and tried to convince him to use the machine (since according to an equally ancient drawing, the machine is attuned to Peter), but due to a budding relationship with Olivia Dunham (an FBI agent), he refused. Walternate then kidnapped Olivia and replaced her with her double, Fauxlivia. Peter, thinking that Fauxlivia was Olivia, started sleeping with her.

Fauxlivia was revealed to be an impostor, and returned to the other universe with a piece of the machine previously unknown and pregnant to Peter. She had a son, Henry. Walternate used Henry's blood to activate the machine, but it was turned off on this side. Because of this, Peter used the machine to destroy the other universe.

In the year 2026, Walternate attempted revenge on this universe, and managed to kill Olivia, but was stopped by Peter. 2026 Peter traveled back in time to 2011 to stop himself from destroying the other universe, but was erased from time. Walternate's 2011 fate is unknown.

Walternate's turned on the machine.

city chicken

A food native to Pittsburgh/Western Pennsylvania in which cubes of pork and/or veal are put on a short, wooden skewer, breaded, then baked and/or fried.

I've heard that city chicken originated during the Great Depression, when folks didn't have enough money to buy full cuts of meat, so they assembled meat scraps on a wooden skewer, creating a make-shift drumstick. Hence the name.

Are yinz havin' city chicken for dinner?

endwarfins

The rush of neurotransmitters and neuropeptides triggered specifically by watching the Seven Dwarfs march home singing "Heigh-Ho" — that particular high of pickaxes, whistling while you work, and communal domestic bliss in a cottage built for men half your height.

I only meant to watch the Heigh-Ho scene for the endwarfins, and then it was two hours later and I'd watched the whole movie.

Endwarfins aren't just a Snow White thing — I get the same hit off the Lollipop Guild in Oz.
