Like from the previous episode when he asked her how she knew he wouldn't fail and she told him, "because you can't." Not angry, not glowing, just true and simple. He can't fail. Aww, they were so sweet! I'm beginning to love anything about Nina too. She's such an intriguing woman and I'm so curious about her!
For all he's lost parts of his brain to surgery and parts of his sanity to St Claire's, his imagination is intact, and Nina declares it the best part of him. Yes. :-) I like him better because he's fallable and not always confident but with a bit of support his imagination carries the day. I hadn't thought of that way, either but it's a great way to think about it.
Mostly I'm offended by the perfunctory narrative way in which it was put together. I'm just glad it's not so overt and not out-and-out bad, you know? I think of Olivia as an acquaintance I see frequently but don't know very well. I may not get why she dates who she dates but I'm really grateful if she doesn't talk to me too much about it.
I do think that he seems much more focused on how he can convince her to forgive him than whether or not she's ready to. Ooh! I think I'm learning something here. See, I'm not angry with Peter. I'm annoyed with the writers. It seems in the middle of seasons, they sideline Olivia. What's happening here is this romance is more focused on Peter than on Olivia's needs. I saw the little charge Nina got when she saw that Peter had picked Olivia, therefore picking this universe. But no!!! It's not frakking about what Peter chooses or his forgiveness or his whatever. It's about what you say here. About Olivia and how she's healed and why and her choices.
I don't blame Peter (who reminded me oddly and uncomfortably of Anakin Skywalker killing the Tusken Raiders in Episode 2 here) but if the show puts him at the forefront, then what can he do? He's being allowed to be selfish. Simply put, they could write him better here. And that's a lot for me to say considering I don't like the actor. But for once, I don't think it's Joshua Jackons here. It's a writing thing.
But like so much on this show, I'm never sure. I still dislike Pacey but not any more than before. I feel a bit of sympathy because he was prepared to love this Olivia and then they fucked with him and he fell for the alternate. And if he doesn't become 'mechanized' or do something then he's just helplessly waiting for stuff to happen to him. Which is where they all were before.
As for the show, I don't think they've forgotten Olivia. That was the thing about listening to DVD comments. They totally plan to get back to Olivia. I just don't know why it takes so loooooooooong.
