Omgs, dude, I'm IN LOVE with the Charley Dixon comparison, just in love. Especially weird since I never quite managed to stop shipping Charley and Sarah a little. Not that I think I'm going to start shipping Olivia and Peter but I do think I'd feel less threatened by it/appreciate it more as a narrative if they did it that way?
I feel bad for not like, writing more, but there really isn't anything to add except wow that's a brilliantly succinct way of putting it. Though I do share your fear that they won't make their main character a Charley Dixon and your frustration that whenever they give him Storylines, I feel it's just some TV exec somewhere trying to force him into a more front and centre storyline than the character needs/works well with, but equally I'm not sure how much of that is just due to Previous Bitter.
Especially since even though Peter has a doomsday device coded to him and was stolen from another universe, so far the lion's share of the plot and angst about both those things has gone to Walter and Olivia. Even now when Peter's trying to pursue the weapon and Walter doesn't want him to, it's been a subplot running through a series of episodes that are about two versions of Olivia. Maybe I should be more optimistic.
But...I find myself being a moderately-sized wet napkin like you, yet unable to not be excited at the possibility of them doing something amazing, even as I'm too pessimistic to believe they will. GO ME. *facepalm*. ;)
