So, um, I may have spoiled myself for a lot of "Fringe" by reading this. I just started watching, and I find that I do better if I'm prepared for possible gender fail and am not surprised by it.
Am I correct in assuming that there's an Olivia clone/split-self who is the more, um, nurturing part of her that she is somehow missing? I mostly fear this arc because X-men comics did this with Jean Grey back in the...oh, the 80s, I think. And I predictably got way too invested in the Clone and her Right to Exist, only to have canon MERGE them, fix Jean, and get rid of the clone's existence forever. There was also a baby, which Jean then got to raise.
But I may be a masochist because instead of totally turning me off, this kind of actually...makes me look forward to it in a "I'm really dreading this but SO curious" kind of way? Even knowing that I would probably HATE IT LIKE BURING. Yeah, I don't even know.
Anyway, I'll probably be spoiling myself thoroughly by reading your "Fringe" reviews until the end of this arc. :)
I think the show has completely failed to give Peter a character.
It's very disheartening to know that Peter *still* doesn't have a personality, three seasons in.
