I didn't know you watched Fringe. Go see it! I'm not as fannish as I used to be, but Fringe and Justified are the only shows I have to watch every week when they air and actually want to talk about.
I tend to DVR it because I don't have anyone to talk about it about. But I'll make more of an effort because I *love* it in a way I've not loved a show since BtVS or TXF. And I'd love to talk about it.
I'm just afraid it's got a lazy fandom, because it's a great show but seems to have such a non-existent online fandom (as far as I know).
Don't worry, it happens to me all the time. Sometimes, I get so annoyed I delete an entry and repost it, grrr. I think only paid journals can edit entries.
It was the same for me. I got my brother into Fringe because I wanted to be able to talk about it, and only a couple of people on my f-list posted about the show. But it wasn't the same, so I friended some other people to be able to discuss it, but I'm not really familiar with them yet. But it's certainly not as lively as BtVS fandom, or even BSG fandom

I finally got caught up on this season's Fringe. I'm having a bit of the same reaction I had when they introduced Dawn in BtVS. I do want to know how things are different now (and how things were different without Peter), but I also feel just a bit robbed about the history I did watch as it appears to be obsolete. I'm also somewhat inspired to rewatch earlier seasons and see if I can kind of pinpoint where Peter changed things in particular ways...
I didn't really watch these four episodes thinking that there was a Peter-shaped hole in their lives (with the important exception of Walter), but that his absence gave them space to be something else and to develop links and relationships that didn't grow when he was around.Agreed. However, for Walter's sake, he really, really, really needed to be back. Interesting, though, how his absence hasn't really meant anything negative for Olivia that I've been able to observe. This is going to be hard on Peter (assuming the writers let it go on), which is fine with me, as I'm still holding

I also feel just a bit robbed about the history I did watch as it appears to be obsolete.I definitely know what you mean, but I'm certain that it won't last. They're at the very least going to regain their memories of Peter sooner or later (or even get a complete reset, which I don't really want) so I'm not too worried about it

I'm a fickle beast as I don't want this version of the alt-universes to go away either. I want my cake and to eat it too. Of course, from the miniscule amount I understand about string theory that's possible :P
I know it goes against the idea that they're an epic interdimensional love story, but that's what I'm seeing on the show.
Heh. But they could be another Bangel :) Kidding. I don't see or want this as I don't see the entire show being about Peter and Olivia and don't want to see it be about it either. Instead, it's *very* plot-driven and very much about the *other* relationships. I'd like it to stay that way. The fact that the writers have been willing to let Peter be completely gone for several episodes (and that it's worked so well) gives me hope that they get this as well.
If anything, because she didn't meet Peter as a kid and didn't talk

For example, I was extremely happy to see that AltBroyles was alive, but bummed that his history with Olivia has been erased. She saved his son and he rescued her! Their conversation when she was about to be cut to pieces, when he said: "Is there anything I can do to make you comfortable?" and she answered: "That's not why you came. You came here to make yourself comfortable." was one of my favourite moments of last season and I don't want all that to be lost
