Fringe thoughts
I love this show. Let me start out with that. I love this show a LOT.
But I am having severe problems with the Olivia-becomeing-her-alternate-self plotline. It's making it hard and frustrating for me to watch the show, I will be honest. Because I'm not rooting for that. I'm anti rooting for that.
Even though it's explicitly by her own choice, it simply doesn't make any sense to me. If she fell in love with Peter once, she can do it again without losing her mind. I guess what I don't like is that it seems so weird that anyone would choose to live the life of a stranger (which is what she's choosing. She's choosing to have everyone that she cares about, everyone she knows become a stranger to her). It's just...
Enough with the fucking with her head. Enough with having her mind out of her own control. ENOUGH.
I'm not even sure that this is a larger systemic problem sort of thing. I just know that every time I watch it it makes me nauseous and uncomfortable and I have stopped wanting to know what happens next.
