we will not be moved by it
Fringe
Donald being September really blew my mind! It seems obvious in retrospect because of course he had to be someone we know, and yet for some reason that option never occurred to me. SEPTEMBERRRRRRR. He's so cool as a non-Observer. And like, for all the things Michael could have been, i actually did not guess September's son either. Originally i kept thinking he was a young September, but then that didn't make sense with the whole non-aging thing, and then in this episode with all the anomaly/he's-not-supposed-to-exist talk i was thinking "HENRY??!??!?!" like somehow he time-traveled and skipped universes and that messed with his physiology enough to become a... non-aging Observer child............ I DON'T KNOW, THIS SHOW DOES WEIRD STUFF, IT COULD HAPPEN!!!!!!!!! And then he was just September's son. Okay, fair enough.
When Olivia was getting overwhelmed by the erasing-the-Observers/getting-Etta-back scenario, i thought the concerns would be more centered on the fact that if you erase the Observers you erase the Peter chain of events that September influenced... but then again since none of that even happened in this timeline and Peter already willed himself back into existence, i guess he's free of all that causality by now? WHO EVEN KNOWS
Anyway i've kind of fallen off of being invested in things -- even Nina's death didn't really have much of an impact on me. I was just like "welp, guess we're gettin' close to the end." :/ But the prospect of Walter dying -- as much as i could never see the show ending any other way for him -- is really upsetting and i'm majorly dreading it. In large part because that truly makes it feel like OH GOD IT'S REALLY ENDING. As uneven, maddening, and disappointing as the show has been so often, it's still been one of only about three favorite dramas i've been fannish about since Lost ended. And once it's gone i will have no more current sci-fi shows! NOOOOOOOOOO
The main thing i wanted to post about though is THE PREVIEW FOR NEXT WEEK. AND THE PEOPLE IN THE PREVIEW. ALL I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR ALL SEASON IS TO SEE ALTLIVIA AND LINCOLN AGAIN. I'm pissed that the next time we get to see them will be the last time we ever get to see them, but WE GET TO SEE THEM AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANKS FOR WAITING UNTIL THE SERIES FINALE YOU ASSHOLES. I don't even care anymore that it's the wrong Lincoln and they're both ooooooold, i'm going to freak out. I'm already freaking out. I was freaking out weeks ago when thecolorbetween informed me that Seth Gabel was at the 100th episode party. AND NOW MY ONE WISH FOR THE SERIES FINALE IS TO SEE ALTLIVIA AND LINCOLN KISS. JUST ONCE. THAT IS MY ONE WISH FOR THE ENTIRE SERIES: JUST MAKE THEM KISS. JUST GIVE ME THIS ONE THING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!* And maybe i'll feel a little better about this never becoming the Olivia/Altlivia multiverse show of my soul. >:(
*SPOILER ALERT based on watching a tumblr gif over and over again: i saw a ring on Lincoln's finger so obviously they are married -- which, come on, i could have told you even without physical evidence -- so kissing better not be some boring peck on the lips, ugh, we still never got to see first kissing or first anything, fuck this noise
So now my Olivias/Lincoln situation is rapidly spiraling out of control again. It's like i'm crawling through the desert dying of thirst and i just glimpsed a droplet of water that it will take me a week to reach and now i am so excited about that droplet of water and it looks so pretty and it's all i can think about and it'll ultimately be really unsatisfying once i get it but i'm gonna be so happy about it i probably won't care how meager it really is and then afterward i'll die of thirst anyway.
The shitty part is i am probably going out of town this weekend so i won't even get to watch the series finale live, i'll have to wait at least two or three days and avoid tumblr in the interim and it's gonna suuuck. Fortunately i don't tend to see much Fringe stuff anymore so the risk of spoilers is slim, but you never know what might come out of the woodwork for the finale.
Goddddddddd i hate series finales. Endings are the worst. :(
The Lizzie Bennet Diaries
GIGIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII. Much like Fitz before her, Gigi instantly become my new favorite as soon as she appeared. SO CHARMING AND DELIGHTFUL! SHE LOVES LIZZIE SO MUUUUCH! DARCYS LOVE LIZZIE BENNET. And now all i want is Gigi and Fitz in a vlog together rather than just pictures and tweets. Their scheming is the greatest.
Every time Darcy appears my brain implodes, but it's gotten worse now that Pemberley is happening because LIZZIEEEEEE. I guess a ship thing i really like is when the boy falls in love first and it takes the girl longer to catch on, i suppose because it centers the action on what the girl wants? So Lizzie realizing she is actually starting to like Darcy is where things really get good for me. Plus i am finally super on the Daniel Vincent Gordh train. Like i liked him at first but i wasn't dying about it or anything, but now it has reached UGGGGGHHHHHHHH levels. If... that... makes sense. I can't talk about attractive people in normal words. I'm saying he's attractive. Much like every single other person on the show.
I have a tendency to not watch episodes for a while and then watch a bunch all at once (also what i do with Adventure Time! it's just more satisfying with really short episodes) but now i'm watching as it updates because PEMBERLEEEEEEYYYYYY. So, needless to say, i can't wait for Thursday.
