Yeah, I feel bad harping on about Peter all the time, but it really does make me sad not to understand him better, especially when he has such a theoretically interesting backstory.
Heee! Passing Olivia Dunham: Basic. ;) I totally wish this were an actual series of lectures I could attend! I would also love a big fire at the end of the season. I was really hoping for one at the start of this season seeing her trapped in that cell was so visually reminiscent of the small girl in the burned room. But at the same time there was some interview with the producers about how they wanted to focus on her crossing over power and didn't want to start giving her all sorts of super powers. But then again, they did a big deal of her pyrokinesis in this episode, so who knows. Maybe it was just to tie in with the first iconic image of her as a child. But I'd like her to do it again. Cus it'd be AWESOME.
Walternate's office wasn't the same actually. If you rewatch the scene, and look at the pictures behind Olivia as she's spilling her guts to the man she thinks is Walter, you'll see that when she turns around to see the real Walter, the pictures are very different. But I think she didn't notice because it was a very similar office and she saw the man she was expecting to see.
I don't know that this show did ever really have my unwavering trust, actually no. It started out as a good show with too many standalones, then season two had a first half that wasn't enough about Olivia for my tastes. Then towards the end of season two I think I wondered if it was going to gain my unwavering trust. And I very much liked the first half of S3 but there was always enough (impending romantic doom, how they'd handle Olivia getting her mind wiped, how she'd rescue herself etc.) that I was vaguely panicked about even when they did turn out to handle it well, I didn't quite trust it entirely. I think that's the problem with me and Fringe. The bits of it I love, I really, really love. But there are always these other bits that mean I never entirely trust it.
