cahnSo ase has somehow convinced me to watch Fringe, not least by referencing the ep list here, which, yeah, the "high points" version of Season 1 of any canon is usually the right tack to take with me. (It does mean that occasionally I get stymied by a character point that might have been a little more obvious if I'd stuck around for all the episodes, but if I'd stuck around I would never have gotten this far, so.)
Anyway. It took me a really, really long time to watch episode 1 of Season 3 (almost a month, I think?), and the next episodes took a while as well, but lately I've been going through a lot. (And yes, getting a lot of chores around the house done :) )
So capslocking flailing last night to ase wasn't good enough and I must share. I'm still reeling from watching the last half of 3.7 (thanks for the kiddie torture, show!) and 3.8 last night.
My actual reaction to the episode climax, in real time:
...well, crap.
Wait, was that BROYLES?
WHAT
THEY NEEDED AN EQUIVALENT MASS
CRAP
BROYLES
AT LEAST IT WASN'T CHARLIE I will ragequit this show if alt!Charlie dies too!
[I am still bitter about Charlie. Charlie is still my favorite character. Super-platonic Olivia-Charlie partnership is still the relationship on the show I am most invested in. (I am nothing if not predictable!) And I still, after "Bound," want all the Peter-Charlie wacky hijinks casefic IN THE WORLD.]

Broyles is so great, though. (Almost as great as Charlie!) He may be a secondary secondary character, but they sure have been working hard since the pilot to make sure we viewers appreciate how great he is. <3
