I'm really annoyed they killed of Alt-Lincoln - I was so very fond of him. And I am really worried they will set up a Lincoln/Alt!Olivia romance because I do not want that. I was all for Alt!Lincoln/Alt!Olivia, but this would be too weird. Even them just being partners feels... kind of wrong.
But I do trust the writers, so I'm still confident they know what they are doing and that everything will be amazing again. But please fix it soon, show!
I find myself much more disposed to give Fringe the benefit of the doubt compared to other shows... I really hope it comes through.
I LOVED Alt!Lincoln, though-- I so badly wish that they hadn't killed him, or that, if they had, it hadn't smacked so badly of plot device.
I have hope that, with time, I'll learn to ship Lincoln/Alt!Liv... the show will have to convince me, though. It's done it twice before with two different versions of Linc/Liv, so there's hope, but I'd never really considered that particular combination as a match, before. Hopefully, if they go with a romance, they'll draw it out nicely (S5 renewal PLEASE), and they'll get Lincoln some of the confidence that his late doppelganger possessed, which made him such a great match for Alt!Liv.
I admit I was happy to see Peter and Olivia back together, but was a little disturbed about how they went about getting them back together. It did make Olivia a some what uncaring which is definitely not a normal aspect of her character.
That said, I was definitely less than impressed about how they wrote off alt!Lincoln. It literally just screamed almost desperation on their part to have somewhere to put Lincoln. And it makes me question what they're going to do with alt!Olivia. She's just meant to fall for a different Lincoln to the one she actually knew for a long time? Don't get me wrong, part of me wants that, but damn they'd definitely better handle it right.
I'm like you though, a little disappointed, but up until now the show has been extremely strong so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt that they'll return to form.
I don't even it went OOC for the sake of plot as much as it was just to have Polivia resolve together. But Polivia seems to be integral to the plot now, so maybe it was for the plot. It bothers me a lot that they way they've structured Olivia to be OH PETER HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU verges on boring/irritating, especially in consideration to how she treated Lincoln and Nina and Broyles and by extent, Walter. And even Rachel, who we've not even seen. And also by the fact that for someone's who has been proclaimed as being strongly empathetic, she doesn't seem to pick up on the fact that Lincoln is in serious emotional turmoil through this all
