Peter and Olivia as a couple definitely felt inevitable from the start, and all this angst doesn't quite feel earned. They weren't even really together as a couple ever and now its all pain and angst. I wish I could want them to be together, and be happy, but I have no way of knowing how well they would even work as a couple!

Peter's popularity in Fringe fandom often confuses me too. I sometimes get cynical and just figure it has to do with the actor and the fact that he's the only young white dude on the show for them to latch onto.
