For what it's worth, I keep telling people Fringe is my methadone for TSCC. It's not as ambitious or as moving, but it's an action science fiction show with a kickass, reserved female protagonist who has a strong if unconventionally demonstrated protective streak. Olivia is more capable of demonstrating tenderness than Sarah, but she's had less to deal with (so far). There's even some examination of parenthood and caretaking, although this doesn't tend to be examined via Olivia or be as central to the show as it is to TSCC.
Also, I am in love with Anna Torv's voice.
Also also, the cinematography is really pretty.
I think the show really picks up and finds its voice around halfway through season one. The plots are kind of decent pulp adventure at best, but I'm not watching for the plot. Olivia shoots people! Things blow up! The science fictional plot twist at the end of season one is really cool! That is what I am watching for.
