All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I think Peter did have a twinge of intuition, but he wanted the easy route, and the easy route was to buy her explanations. Also, he was Getting Some, and that was a great distraction.
What gets me is that Astrid never commented on Fauxlivia's different wardrobe and makeup.
I love that Olivia immediately ditched the bangs and gelled them back as much as she could, and showed up that first day in the same old suit and sensible shoes. And then after she tossed the suits, wore something we'd never seen either of them in before. I wonder if she'll dump the suits entirely or what.
Also, January 21st! too far away! Damn it. I shall have to read fic.

I agree that Peter had some inkling and that his "She was quicker with a smile" was his acknowledgment of that.
That was just flat-out the creepiest thing I've seen in a long time. LOVE.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I need an SG1 fan. I'm rewatching bits and pieces, and I just watched part 2 of Moebius. What happened? I mean, where did we decide the timeline had ended up, since there were fish in his pond?

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
I mean, where did we decide the timeline had ended up, since there were fish in his pond?
I think they decided something along the lines of "meh, close enough", and left well enough alone. Is that what you mean? I mean, everything else in the video they left for themselves was right on the money, just the fish were out of place, so this time they didn't have to go back in time to fix the mess and leave themselves a video. Causation paradox. Temporal physics gives me a headache. t /Janeway

Yeah, the show pretty much leaves it hanging.
What gets me about "Moebius" is that the original-timeline SG-1 dies in Egypt 5,000 years ago. Horribly. There's no happy ending there, they all die, and the SG-1 we see at the end of the episode are not the originals.
Only those writers could make that storyline into something happy-go-lucky: they regularly missed the tragedy of the stories they were telling.

I finished my re-watch of Fringe S1. Man, I love this show. When it first aired I loved Walter and Astrid from the start, but it took a while to warm to Olivia. On re-watch, I have no idea why. Anna Torv was spot on right from the start.
I noticed so many more things this time through, including a lot of Observer appearances. Remember the little, feral, empath boy? Anyone else think he's a wee baby Observer? I wonder if we'll see him again.

Actually, they made me sad more often than I'd have expected of the show. Given how much they killed their leads (in whatever guise), I still got fairly worked up about it.
They named a short list of things to check up on, but who knows how many other things were out of whack? I wish I'd seen part 1, because I didn't remember enough about how the dissonance came into being.
