Fringe!

[arevhat]

We finished S2 last night (EXCELLENT, although I think I liked Peter, White Tulip, Brown Betty, and maybe Northwest Passage better than The Other Side) and I wanted to ask about this "bugs in the blood" thing - my husband has arachnophobia and was getting very nervous at every mention. Do we ever see them? Are they actually spiders? Or are there other spiders in general in S3? He feels like it's a ticking time bomb now that they've mentioned it LOL

I cannot believe it but I am shipping Olivia and Peter. I don't ship like this! I enjoy couples, but I don't find myself wanting to watch for a couple and their scenes, and I'm good whether they get together, stay together, or don't. When they kissed, and she said he belonged with her, I just melted.

And her hair! Can anyone spoil me - does Olivia get her blonde back? I miss it so much already ;) On the plus side, I have hair and coloring very similar to Olivia and have been wanting to do something very similar to Fauxlivia FOREVER but keep chickening out. Now I'm very confident and happy sticking with what I have. The red with bangs is pretty in general, but on her I definitely prefer the blonde!

I LOVE OLIVIA. She's my favorite character (so far I don't like Fauxlivia at all! But I think that's the point ;) But Walter is the best thing about the show. John Noble is incredible, I am enraptured every time he's on screen and I don't think I've ever seen my husband as impressed by an actor. He's just an absolute joy to watch. And his scenes with Leonard Nimoy! Heaven.

Walternate, you're such a cold bastard. I love it.

What's up with the coffee shortage? Did I miss something? We bought S1 and will watch it, but want to devour S3 first.

And argh! The Massive Dynamic lab geek is named Brandon? We've been calling him Tippy and I don't want to stop.

I'm glad to hear about the blonde! We've seen the first 3 of S3 so far (we're watching with downloads for now, and will buy the season when it comes out) and I am still enjoying it, especially the differences between Walter and Walternate and Olivia and Fauxlivia.

I think Olivia/Peter may be my first real ship...I can't recall another tv couple that made me feel swoony, or one where I was actively hoping they'd kiss!

I agree about Walter and Belly - I hope Belly's not really dead, and will show up again. They're wonderful to watch together.

I swooned over Olivia/Peter as well. Maybe because you just know how tough everything is for Olivia. I adore Olivia.

Do you feel any shippy P/O fics coming on? I read a wonderful fic that took place after the season 2. Not to shippy but very interesting.

How about Fringe icons? Any interest in that? You do great icons, my dear.

Will the new eps be broadcast in your neck of the woods?

I'm sorry this took me so long to respond to! I was really busy with our trip (which was lovely).

I haven't been inspired for fics yet, but I can see it happening some time in the future :) Icons too, once I rip episodes onto my computer :)

We won't get the new episodes here but can download them the day after they air in the US :) We're halfway through S3 now and I'm very excited for S4!
