A short story about a lot of confusion and mixed feelings and other stuff aka Fringe

[giallarhorn]

I watched Fringe.

For anyone who hasn't watched it, I have four nonspoilery points that sum up my reaction to the episode.

1. ALL THE CONTINUITY AWARDS TO FRINGE <3
2. LINCLON YOUR FUCKING FACE WHAFOESPSEESOP
3. alsdfjl;dgksddsfjdksf
4. A lot and I mean a LOT of mixed thoughts.

That's everything in four points. Without spoilers.

Spoilers under the cut.

Re: SO I FINALLY WATCHED THIS EPISODE, YEAH

I think my main issue with it is entirely in how Olivia treated the situation, and how the narrative treated it (especially later on down the road, where it was basically just tossed off into another universe and then cut out entirely). It bothered me in that Olivia, who was supposed to be a compassionate, empathetic individual, would be so in love to the extent she wouldn't have noticed that Lincoln was not dealing with the change so abruptly. And that Peter was the one to actually talk it over with him with no mention or hint that Olivia even considered it at all really nagged me, especially the lack of regard to Nina/Walter/basically everyone.

My biggest issue is in her quest to be in love, she effectively sacrificed a portion of her character to fit the relationship. But I mean, I can understand the allure and reasoning of why she did do it, but what bothers me more is how it did impact her character and the overall trend with the show itself.

Well, if we trust what September says, then the new universe is the technically 'correct' universe, so therefore Peter and Olivia have memories from the past universe/timeline, which as is no longer around, I suppose means that the present one is the correct one since there's been no change in memories yet.
