Fringe 3x12 "Concentrate and Ask Again" (illustrated for effect)
So, about 3x12:
Man, people had reactions to this one, didn't they? Maybe I'll just bullet point it.
Nauseous.
Look at the pain and frustration so clear to see on her face.
(An excuse to post pictures of her smiling? Quite possibly. Though I did initially think it was tainted by the "wears a dress" comment earlier, so that she might not have actually accepted his compliment. But she does look truly pleased there, so, my mistake, hopefully.)
She looks like she just wants to die for a while (crushed).
(It's not just the vest, probably.) (-_-;;)
Picspam of my favorite Brown Betty scene, 'cause it's my favorite episode and it was happy (and Olivia in PJs!! Peter's, even!):
Oh, how clear her emotions were on her face and in her voice as she sang (made an mp3 of it. Had to.) ♥♥♥
Dr. Cox had that one scene in Scrubs where he talks about wanting to marry a moment and have a family of little moments with it. Anna Torv singing "For Once In My Life", in PJs, as a Noir!Detective who fears her recently-discovered love is dead, is that moment for me.♥♥♥♥♥
That cheered me up. I should watch that one again.
Next week: Alt!Brandon better only be alive so Our Olivia can kill him later. Also, bugs.
Do I know how to procrastinate or do I know how to procrastinate? Guess what my senior seminar presentation in Behavioral Economics is on? Just guess. (At least that's not till March.) Now, back to the paper due Tuesday. Goodbye, Internet. Enjoy Glee tonight.
Man, people had reactions to this one, didn't they? Maybe I'll just bullet point it.
- I love Nina already, and really enjoyed her conversation with Olivia (angst-tastic!). Builds on Nina zeroing in on Olivia's feelings for Peter back in S2 after she's discovered the truth about Peter.
- "...me, but better" had me yelling at the TV, 'cause she's not, OIive, just a hell of a lot less unfortunate. I mean, seriously, there would be no Fringe division without you, you're a complete badass and I don't want you to change, please do not change. /pleading
- the milk moment - her expression was perfect - just made me want to punch him. God damn it, Peter (my refrain several times)
Nauseous.
- his inner thoughts: I get that he's getting frustrated, but jesus, her whole life was stolen from her, it's not going to be fixed with one apology (or several, for that matter)
- I'm actually glad not everything is okay or getting back to normal after last week's episode. I didn't think it could be resolved so simply (and of course it can't be)
- Hospital conversation was painful. She's just hurting so bad at this point, I don't see how it will ever get better for her. And in shows like this, it can always, always get so much worse. =( Find a new universe, Olive, before it's too late.
Look at the pain and frustration so clear to see on her face.
- I was hoping Simon would be taken in by Massive Dynamic like Nick and co. and fixed, but I guess everyone decided against it, seeing as how that turned out last time? (RIP, Cortexikids)
- Fundraiser: so BAMF, so very BAMF. I was certain she would pull on her FauxLiv marksmanship skills for that tricky shot, but she was using both hands...
- Similar smile to that in Noir? You compare:
(An excuse to post pictures of her smiling? Quite possibly. Though I did initially think it was tainted by the "wears a dress" comment earlier, so that she might not have actually accepted his compliment. But she does look truly pleased there, so, my mistake, hopefully.)
- I have this anxiety that this Fauxlivia thing is going to actually break her, as in split her mind. If she truly begins to think she is not enough, not as good (not just romantically, but as a whole, unbroken person - that "has real friends" comment comes to mind), the Fauxlivia personality will begin to take over. And that would break my heart.
- The ending: I don't believe Sam. C'mon, it cannot be that simple (or kinda stupid, sheesh). Part of it is just the choosing aspect; I feel like Peter shouldn't get to choose anything or anyone, that's not how it should be. (Grrr.) And then there's the talk of only destroying a world, the creation part is ignored in Sam's explanation. In less he means that once a world is destroyed another world is instantly created, but he didn't say that. Still, it's just all very unsatisfactory. I (along with Olive, Alt!Col. Broyles and Peter once upon a time) have to believe there's another way.
- I mean, how could the destruction of one world not adversely affect all the others, domino-effect like?
- Again, poor Olivia. Everyone knew she should not have read that note. Bad, bad, bad, bad idea.
She looks like she just wants to die for a while (crushed).
- I'm kinda sick of this Peter. His bumbling and lying and argh. She deserves better, in my opinion. She should find an AU!Peter. And of course, now I'm thinking of Noir!Peter, he would have been nice. There are not enough fics set in Noir!world. I've only read like three, which is just too few.
