katikatYou peeps were right, 412 really was the turning point. Why, oh, why did they drag out the set-up so much?
I really liked 412, the ep with the town nobody could leave. Maybe because it reminded me of the old Fringe with Olivia, Peter and Walter as a team, that was wonderful. I loved seeing Peter and Walter working together again.
And when Olivia's memories returned, she felt suddenly so... different. Much happier. I loved the way she kept smiling at Peter, it was so lovely...
And Peter in September's mind. I wonder why Peter is still so important. I mean, his only "thing" was that he could operate the machine that could destroy worlds - do we actually know why? I mean, it was linked to his DNA but why his? What's so special about him? Olivia is special because the cortexiphan unlocked her abilities but Peter?
You know what I have always loved about Fringe? That it's good, old-fashioned sci-fi. Sure, it's Earth based, not a space opera, but it's about exploration, it's not an after-school special dressed up as sci-fi and it doesn't try to solve humanity's problems, it doesn't deal with stuff that "deep" sci-fi feel the need to pick apart till it bores you to death. It's no BSG or SGU - fortunately! It's Star Trek and SGA/SG-1, it's about adventure and meeting the alien-of-the-week in their weekly case stories. It's exactly the kind of sci-fi I adore!
