I don't know, but the whole "Peter and Olivia bonded as children" thing going on in the promo for next week makes me worry. Like, I have confidence that they can make this awesome, because I was skeptical about the whole red universe/blue universe switching from the beginning of the season and they knocked that out of the park, but I can't forget that the mytharc always collapses in on itself, so...
I, yeah, I don't know. It could be awesome, I have a lot of confidence in their ability to do all of this in a way that's not been done before and make it complex and interesting. But I have Fringe anxiety now! I can't deal with Fringe anxiety.
I keep telling myself that they have made a lot of stuff work that sounds ridiculous on paper, but then I think of Alias s3 and how it drowned in a morass of dumb love triangle shenanigans. *clings* It's going to be all right. It has to be!
And while I roll my eyes forever at the melodrama of it, I also see the thematic resonance of having Fauxlivia get pregnant - will Peter steal his child from the other side the way he was stolen?
Possibly, but at least since the child is actually Peter's he would have the right. (Well, if Fauxlivia let him, since it's Faux's kid too.)
Will he be responsible and cross over to be a father to the kid, and we'll end this season with him on the other side and Olivia here?
I think this might happen, but if that happens and it turns out to be the series finale, I will be bummed out. (If it was Peter with kid seperated from Olivia, I could get behind the bittersweetness of it, but if it ended with Fauxlivia/Peter, my shallow shipping fangirl self would be irritated.)
I think having Walternate use the pregnancy as leverage to get Peter to come backThis is where the writers have already kind of lost me, because if Walternate wanted Peter to stay this whole time and he knew Peter had to be there of his own choosing, why did they have

True.

Heh. I understand that completely, though I'm willing to be won over by Olivia/Alt!Charlie or Olivia/Frank if they end up with Peter/Fauxlivia.
if Walternate wanted Peter to stay this whole time and he knew Peter had to be there of his own choosing, why did they have Walternate give Peter the blueprints to the machine in the finale? Did he not worry that Peter might figure out the whole human battery part?
Heh. I don't know. I've given up trying to figure out what the machine will do or why it's keyed to Peter or why there appear to be two sets of parts etc.

Sorry, sometimes I still get distracted.

TPTB have been hinting at things in a way that leaves me hopeful this will be more than what it seems but this could all so easily go off the rails.
