Fringe 3x18

I missed the first 30 minutes or so, but I still feel totally qualified to post this short-ish review while I'm thinking of it!

This one surprised me a little )

She's not dead! I didn't want her replacing real!Livia, but I didn't want her or the baby to die, either.

can we keep them and this ridiculous universe, please?
Yes, plz. :-) I almost didn't want them to go back to the real!verse in three weeks. But then I was like, wait! Olivia needs her body back from Bell! Boy, do the Olivias get in fixes. But they get themselves out of stuff and I do enjoy watching that.

I'm campaigning that she name the baby Philip. :-)

Why do they sideline real Olivia like this in mid-season? Truly, I'm baffled.

Pretty much, yup. :)

AWWWWWWWWW! <3<3<3

That would be the BEST, and as a bonus would probably annoy Walternate.

I pretty much loved this ep and will watch again tomorrow. :-) You know I love fic stories about mothers and kids. :-) And there was such sweetness with her and Linc. That promise will mean something someday but I sure hope she doesn't die.

Now, I'm worried about both Olivias but it feels okay because it means I like them both. :-)

ALTLIV LIVES!!! *dances around excitedly*

BUT TEAM ALT!FRINGE BEING SKEPTICAL AND AMAZING (can we keep them and this ridiculous universe, please?)

I don't know what I'd do if we lost the alt!world & the alt!team. I LOVE THEM SO MUCH!!! They need to at least let me keep alt!Lincoln because he breaks my heart and his love for alt!Liv is so self-less and awkward and perfect and...PLEASE LET ME KEEP HIM, SHOW! And maybe we could merge the two universes and I'd get to keep them all!!! Denial is a very lovely place to be in :D

I KNOW!!

I'm ridiculously charmed by all of them. And their universe which makes even less sense than normal Fringeverse with the lack of trees, sheep and Bic pens. But with ZEPPELINS! Hee.

Poor sheep :(

Zeppelins are awesome.

I LOVE THE ALT!VERSE!!!

I'm ridiculously in love with the Alt Universe. I think I may love that team more than the team in the 'regular' universe. Because Grandma Dunham, Henry the Cab Driver and Linc are there.

When alt!Broyles was around this was a much tougher choice, but altverse doesn't have Rachel, Ella, or NINA, which how I choose my loyalty in the end. ;)

There really hasn't been much effort for awhile to bring in any new recurring characters to the Fringe team in Ourverse, has there? I guess I'm mostly thinking of season 2 here.

Yeah it was kind of strange how...unhorrible it was, right? I was chatting to chaila43 while it was on and she was half watching it and half watching Maddow and her vague recaps were HILARIOUS but we were both like, "three minutes to go...neither of them is dead...HMMMM." And then NEITHER OF THEM DIED. And the baby wasn't kidnapped, and didn't keep growing up or whatever. Basically they kind of...did the weird fast pregnancy thing but other than that appear not to be trying to escape themselves out of this weird corner. Though I suppose there's always later. Either way, I really love Altliv, like, a LOT and am so relieved they didn't kill her off (yet).

I mean, the whole thing was also kind of weird in various ways, and I'm still not sure where the hell they're going with it (or why, since obviously she was going to find out eventually what the point in the whole superfast pregnancy thing was, the people who kidnapped her didn't TELL HER because if she didn't want them to, it's not like she'd be better equipped to stop them and she ( ... )

I'm cautiously optimistic about how unhorrible it was.

It was odd but well within my Fringe tolerance levels of weird. And yeah, the biggest question I still have is WHY? I can believe Walternate wouldn't ask her, or wouldn't want her to think he was involved, but I can't really think it'd be ideal to deliver a baby in a diner or have Altlivia in a situation where she believes her life might be in danger. That's a pretty crap plan.

Maybe now that they have thrown the anvilicious, contrived plot points our way they will actually deal with them in ways that make more sense? Cuz this was about the best handling of surprise!baby I could have wanted. *hopes*

And that sounds...much better. I didn't see the whole thing, so all I saw was everybody running worriedly around collapsed Olivia. I very much approve of Olivia's subconcious over an epsiode just of them trying to save her, even if it's not a bad reverse of the usual pattern.

I was so happy that Alt!Olivia survived! I really thought she was dead for a minute there. I never hated her or anything, but I didn't realize I cared so much, it was surprising. Also, I totally ship Alt!Olivia/Alt!Lincoln now. And the cab driver making a reappearance because he was worried about Olivia <3 And I really loved that last moment right before she gave birth when he was obviously still waiting for some sign of recognition from her.

I reeeeally want AltCharlie and AltLincoln to start working against Walternate. And maybe Altlivia can help, but I'm actually not sure about that yet, or if she even could do it openly, her position now is precarious and I wouldn't be surprised if Walternate started trying to off her soon...But yes, I kind of love the Alt!Fringe division team.

I really hope they are going into Olivia's subconscious next week to pull her back to the surface and get rid of Bell. *crosses fingers*

Meee tooooo! SO thrilled she isn't!

I think that was the hint with AltCharlie and Linc, and I'm interested to see exactly what they'll turn up. Maybe meeting up with Ourlivia again?

This is what I hope for too! *crosses fingers*
