The Write Stuff | So Many Places to Call Home →
In two weeks I’ll have the opportunity to read some of my writing in a showcase, along with two other undergrads and 5 or 6 graduate students. I am totally thrilled– MY WRITING WILL HAVE AN AUDIENCE. And what’s more authorial than doing a reading? Plus, being in undergrad in a showcase consisting mostly of grad students is really terrific.
Which brings me to the crux of this post– what the hell...

Peter: What is it?
Olivia: You know what Barrett said? He said that he looked into her eyes, and knew that it wasn’t her.
Peter: Olivia...
Olivia: I understand the facts. I know that she had reams of information about me and about my life and about the people that were close to me. And I understand that if she slipped up that she would have a completely reasonable explanation for it. And I guess to expect you to have seen past that is perhaps asking a bit too much. But when I was Over There, I thought about you. And you were just a figment of my imagination. But I held onto you. And it wasn’t reasonable, and it wasn’t logical, but I did it, so… why didn’t you? She wasn’t me. How could you not see that? Now she’s everywhere. She’s in my house, my job, my bed, and I don’t want to wear my clothes anymore, and I don’t want to live in my apartment, and I don’t want to be with you. She’s taken everything.

– Comment made by spicoli323 on the AV Club’s review of Fringe Episode 4.14. I loved this comment and it’s so true! I love the character of Olivia so much- she was so strong in the scene where she electrocuted Jones’ men, yet so painfully vulnerable when she was talking with Peter afterwards. Anna...

I don’t have time to rewatch the scene, so maybe someone can get a better ‘look’ at it, but in the first part of the episode, when they are going through the memory card video to try and find something helpful to save Olivia, Walter gives this explanation to Astrid about what has been done to the video, and Astrid said it’s like recording something else over a VHS. They...
