I sort of agree with you about preferring to have Peter die eventually, for there to be a real emotional price for Walter, and for the audience. I actually like Peter, although sometimes I find him really dull and undeveloped, I would be sad if he died. But I think it would also be a good dramatic place to go, because it seems like he's destined to, and he has no control over his own life as it is. I definitely wouldn't be angry if they ended up Peter off as a resolution for the wars between universes (though hopefully they would do it near the end of the series).
On the Peter and Olivia ship. I often feel like there's too much time spent about them angsting, and at the same time too little time about them just getting along (although at this point that's not really likely). Like I would prefer more positive interactions between them, showing why the fans should root for them as a couple. I quite liked them in season two, but I'm sort of meh about the ship at the moment.
I watched the preview but I don't even remember the part where Peter actually expresses emotion! Because I'm with you there, he's not a very emotional character, or whatever emotions he has they are so buried that him actually caring about something is sort of a big deal. I agree with your thoughts wrt Peter and Olivia's emotional states. Olivia is a much more emotional person, and the show displays that, while having that be one of her strengths and making her character deeper and more interesting. It doesn't feel like they show much of Peter's emotions. It seems like Josh Jackson tries to play some emotions across Peter's face to get across what Peter might be feeling, but I still feel very distant from him as a character a lot of the time. It definitely feels like the audience knows him on more of a shallow level than Olivia or even Walter. Peter just reacts, and broods; he needs to express something! At least in season one he sometimes yelled at Walter and genuinely laughed at things. Now he just sort of is all bottled up towards him or mildly affectionate.
I've seen people say Peter is their favorite character, and I just don't get that. I don't dislike him at all, I just feel like there's still so much more of him to be shown, that he is not that interesting yet. He feels very elusive.
