I have moved again. I'm now in my friends' apartment for a few days (which I have alll to myself, and it's awesome) before moving into my flat on the weekend. Yes, a flat. It's a little above what I wanted to pay but part of me doesn't care. I'm just so happy this will all be over.
Work is ... work. So many office politics and just, eh. I'll get through it, but I'll also keep looking at permanent jobs/other jobs a little more earnestly.

Oh, I liked this one a lot. Perhaps even more than last week for some reason.
John motherfucking Noble OMG. He was so awesome in this. I mean, I teared up a little when he was talking to Aaron, and Fringe doesn't usually make me cry. And the scene at the end with Olivia! Just, amazing. Both him and Anna. That scene was so, so good.
Olivia is seeing Peter too. <3 I'm doing okay without him, but I am looking forward to having him back.
That Olivia and Lincoln scene at the start was a trifle awkward, but I liked the call-back at the end with Lincoln's 'now I'm a little freaked out.'
I loved that it was called Gus.
'I'm thinking flame-throwers.' <-- lines I am waiting for Steve McGarrett to deliver in H50. Oh, Olivia.
This was better. Certainly not perfect (the Kono thing - I've ranted before - but just, please fix it show, please let there be a reason for Steve and Danny not asking) but definitely better. There were some actual real feelings in it. I know!
Starting with the scenes that were the high point of the ep for me. Steve and Catherine. Oh. Just. Oh. They were awkward and adorable and OMG all the feelings at the end. I must admit I've come to like them a little more via fic than canon but ... that scene in Steve's office killed me. His eyes! Meeting her halfway! The hug! I didn't realise how much I loved them, but I really, really want him to be able to meet her halfway! (I am choosing to believe the good-bye is because Michelle Borth has a full-time gig and not other Steve/Lori related reasons. I have nothing against Lori, but can we just not with the love interest thing?)
Steve and his marshmallow feelings completely redeemed him for me after last week's jerktastic display.
Crushing!Danny was so cute. I'm not yet sold on the museum doctor, but she seemed nice enough, and I'm all for more adorable Danny. The car scene and the scene in the office with Steve were awesome too. Steve's little knowing smile. <3 Also that scene in the car could totally be read as jealousy. Totally. Just sayin'
Also Danny apparently has now slightly kooky theme music. That seemed ... odd.
Max geeking out at the base was completely adorable.
Joe ... I am growing a little less fond of. He didn't seem too forced into the plot this week, but I think I was focusing on other things and I have my doubts about the future.
I did like that Steve was suspicious (and impatient - shocker) and asked Cath to look into it though and of course Steve needs to know, I'd imagine it's almost pathological at this point. That is so not going to end well.
Lori was fine, but also just sort of ... there. They really need to do something with her character. The look into Steve's office was curiosity about Catherine. It was. But in a 'trying to understand how Steve ticks' way rather than a 'OMG but I want him' sort of way. That's my story anyway.
Shallow: the blue top, the tan, and again with the eyelashes and the smiles, Alexander. I just, I don't even know anymore.
There was some sort of procedural plot in there somewhere, wasn't there? *shrugs*
