Two Olivias are better than one

[swatkat]

I've always maintained that the Fringe writers are comic book nerds, and the beginning of this new season just further proof: Peter has been erased from the universe, but traces of him keep bleeding into this timeline! And Walter, who loves him the most, who needs him the most, and whose mind is at once one of the most rational and irrational minds, keeps finding these traces as insubstantial!Peter haunts him, asking for help. If this isn't straight out of a comic book, I don't know what is.

I love this alternate timeline, however. I love alt!Broyles is alive and I love that Olivia and Astrid are friends. I'm intrigued by the fact that Olivia killed her stepfather in this timeline. I think zombie!Guy from SGA is going to return and haunt our Lincoln Lee and cause him a lot of manpain. And what I love most of all is that the Olivias are working together, not getting along very well but also getting to know each other, being reluctant allies and hitting every bulletproof kink of mine on the way. I've never been much for dopplecest (except in Legend of the Seeker), but I would so read some Olivia/Olivia right now.

PS: WHERE IS NINA IN THIS TIMELINE? WHERE?

Speaking of Nina ... If Bell died in the previous timeline and left his shares in Massive Dynamic to Walter, but now it doesn't appear that Walter owns Massive Dynamic in this timeline, does it mean that Belly's still alive?

I hadn't thought about that at all! Maybe we'll find out once Nina shows up?

God, it's making me positively giddy, this new Amber!verse. Sure, Olivia had an even harder time, but we can see her connecting, often and actively, and of course I think it's not at all a bug but a feature to see more of her old anger on screen, see touches of it in that scene with Broyles.

I love that Olivia and Astrid are friends.

Oooh, that'd make Joe's year. Too bad the shipping is so limited...

Mine too. God. I think there's a dent in my leather couch now from me bouncing up and down so much during each and all of their interactions.

AND I KNOW! I ASKED FOR HER AFTER 4x01? WHY NO ANSWER, WRITERS?

I might seem vehemently anti-Peter at times, but I don't actually despise him - he's pretty great when he's being the princess everyone wants to rescue and the goofy guy who takes care of everyone. But somehow, the last half of the third season has really given me an overdose of Peter, to the point where I'm happy that he's not here. The new Amber!verse is so full of possibilities! Alt!Broyles lives! Charlie married Bug Lady! (But what about our Charlie, is he alive as well?) And Olivia, my heart. I choked up when she spoke of her past with the professor - I thought it was classic Olivia Dunham, connecting with people and bringing her emotions into the table, being a better agent because of it.

Why would they hire someone so high profile for such a two bit role? And I hear he was very excited about the casting - it doesn't make sense otherwise. (Well I hope, I would love for Lincoln Lee to be sad some more - I think his doomed love for his partner was fantastic, and I love how he and Olivia bonded over it).

Nina better be back soon. But as namaste says above, does this mean William Bell is alive in this 'verse?
