seriously, where are the noir fringe icons

There was so much tv I wanted to talk about last week, but I kept putting it off and now it seems too late and/or I forgot what I wanted to say! So, briefly:

  • I am still loving Bones, and Booth/Brennan, and everything about that show.

  • Vampire Diaries is still awesome, and I was crushed that ( spoiler spoiler. )
  • fringe, who, bones, vampire diaries

    FRINGE!!!!!!!!!! I'm hoping that this means next year they'll be doing some funny eps like The X-Files used to do. I mean this was clearly a successful episode! Also I need to find some fic all about Detective Dunham and her lesbian love affair with Esther. Because dude. The gay, it radiated off her swagger! MMMM!

    FRINGE!!! Yes! That would be awesome! And they're finally getting even their intended dramatic tone spot-on, so it would be like the delicious cherry on top of the awesome tv show. Which is to say, I've been so pleased with this show for so many episodes in a row now! I always enjoy it, but now it's making me *flailyhands* all the freaking time.

    I love your icon! Astriiid! Olivia Dunham, PI, was just sizzling with everyone! I loved her partnership with Esther, the fic needs to happen.

    OMG THIS! YES!!!!!!

    Srsly, ever since "Jacksonville" this show's been ON FIRE! So good!

    I was just thinking (yet again) how much I love the writers of Fringe for making Dunham be the way she is. For instance in "Brown Betty" she's the PI (and of course she would be since she's DUNHAM, but typically, in most other shows, it would be Peter) and that's partially why she sizzled with Astrid. Because it was a typical noir setup, except there's two girls! :P I love it so much. I love Olivia Dunham and insane amount and I want there to be giant meta essays written about her.

    You're right, in most shows, it would have been Peter. I love the show for not forcing a sexual tension in his relationship with Dunham: instead, they become friends, and trust each other and depend on each other, and that makes the potential for romance come more naturally. I am so in love with Olivia Dunham, too. I love her bravery and her open mind and her professionalism and her lady suits and her calm demeanor and when she shoots bitches in the face. I don't know why she doesn't get more love! Where are the giant meta essays? WHERE ARE THE NOIR ICONS? (Where are the vids???)

    *flail* I KNOW, RIGHT?! I love how in S1 they specifically said that Dunham was closer to Charlie than she was to Peter. Again this is so not typical of television! And it just makes her relationship with Peter that much more interesting and like you said, it's growing so NATURALLY, I really love everything about it!

    I am so in love with Olivia Dunham, too. I love her bravery and her open mind and her professionalism and her lady suits and her calm demeanor and when she shoots bitches in the face. I don't know why she doesn't get more love!
    OMG I LOLED QUITE HARD AT THE MENTION OF THE LADY SUITS! IT'S SO TRUE! OH! AND DON'T FORGET HER WHISKY DINNERS! GIRL LOVES HER DRINK. Also her sensible shoes. She wears them. And of course her Cortexiphan-inspired AMAZING SENSE OF AIM. Olivia Dunham never misses!

    It actually pisses me off insanely that fandom does not give her the love and adoration she deserves. BITCH IS FIERCE!

    Where are the giant meta essays? WHERE ARE THE NOIR ICONS? (Where are the vids???)Woe. No meta essays or noir ( ... )

    YES! I remember at the time being, um, so are they not going anywhere with Peter/Olivia then? Because, like, obviously they are each other's love interests just by virtue of being leads in a tv show, but the way they went about it is hundreds of times better, imo. I love that they got to a point around Jacksonville where it seemed like something was about to happen, but then Olivia suddenly had bigger things in her mind and Peter, despite not knowing what or why things suddenly seemed to change, just accepts that and keeps being her friend.

    I LOVE HER LADY SUITS! I love how professional she is! I love most everything about her, from her sensible shoes to her shiny hair. SHE IS SO FIERCE.

    Eeeee! Thanks for sharing!

    I'm not in Fringe fandom outside of my flist, so it makes me sad to hear there are people who hate her! She is just SO COOL. She gets shit done, and looks good doing it. I admit it took me a while to care about her to the *flailyhands* point I am now, but now that I do, I can't understand not liking her.

    I mean, have people SEEN HER? I freaking adore her.
