EXCHANGE INTERFACE

So I lightly spoilered myself from TV Tropes. :/

Note to self: watching a JJ Abrams show is a bit of an emotional Russian roulette. Except that he is going to shoot you with the mean-and-ebil PTB bullet at some stage in the show. Probably several times over the course of the series...

*FLAILS LIKE A FLAILSOME THING*

That is all...

Damn you, JJ Abrams! DAMN YOU TO HELL!

( short and to the point )

HOOOOOOLAY SHIIIIT!

Okay, so the last six episodes of the series are AWESOMESAUCE. I loves me some epic arcness and, boy, does Fringe ever deliver!

So, I watched Inner Child (baby Observer), Unleashed (monster of the week), and Bad Dreams (Olivia and the buddy pairing) last weekend and rather enjoyed Bad Dreams enough that I watched it again. Twice. That's how much I liked it.

I'd watch Ability again, but one of my personal childhood nightmares is people without orifices.

So, the previous trio of episodes was good. THESE ONES WERE BETTER.

( Will I ever be able to sleep at night again? (1.18 - Midnight, 1.19 - The Road Not Taken, and 1.20 - There's More Than One Of Everything) )

And, most importantly: Do any of these questions get answered in Season Two before new questions start coming? Or do the questions just pile up in a neverending heap? (Honestly, I've never watched a JJ Abrams series before, so I have no idea what to expect. Or if expectations are a bad-wrong-dangerous thing to hold for a show like this?

The problem with watching episodes in massive catch-up bouts is that I find myself forgetting what happened in the individual episodes. It really is like ODing on something: the little details blur into the overall experience. And I find myself losing the little bits and pieces rather than getting it all to seep into my brain.

But I'm definitely enjoying this series. Lots of food for thought, meat for grist, and...maybe a few ficlets?

I'm curious about the fic in the fandom. Is it a very ficcy fandom? Are the fics vignettes and romance, or more action-adventure/drama/character? Is it mostly shippy? Case-fic? Is Olivia the main character in the fic, too? I don't know who else it would be, to tell you the truth - Peter's not in the action enough, and neither is Charlie - the show follows Olivia very specifically and everyone else is supporting.

And where do I find icons for Fringe? Up to midway through S1 by preference, or else non-spoilery. This is going to be one of those fandoms where I have to be really careful of spoilers, because one spoiler could really wreck the arc.
