SO. Is it just me, or do the creators of Fringe seem bound and determined to keep the audience in an ever escalating state of HOLY CRAP!!! this season? Last week we've got Anna Torv running around doing her unnervingly apt imitation of Leonard Nemoy for the whole episode and this universe's version of Lincoln Lee showing up, and this week we're in the otherverse watching Lincoln and Henry the freaking cab driver deliver Altlivia's freaky accelerated growth baby in a random Chinatown shop, what the Christ? (Also, I was seriously impressed at the way episode before last made me go "OH MY GOD!!!" with the recap, before the episode even started. Srsly, you guys, you guys, srsly.)

ANYWAY I just want to say that Lincoln Lee is the most adorable thing ever, jfc he is like a little kitten and I just want to scoop him up and squeeze the tar out of him, omg. How can anyone be that smooshable? I MEAN LOOK AT THIS FACE. HOW CAN YOU NOT WANT TO SMOOSH THIS FACE.



During that whole bit with Lincoln bawling over Altlivia I was all, "This is such blatant bid to get the fangirls in flailing conniptions. ...I, uh, I think it's working. *_*" And I think I'm starting to ship Lincoln/Altlivia kind of hardcore. Sobbb please don't end up killing them off, show, PLEASE????

In non-Fringe news, most of you have probably heard by now, but Diana Wynne Jones has passed away. SO SAD ABOUT THIS. ;_______; I read Howl's Moving Castle several years ago, but I only discovered how awesome the rest of her books are last year. Which is a crying shame - I should have read these as a kid, I would have loved them. (Not that I don't love them just as much now, I just wish I'd gotten to experience them as a kid, too.)

Her books are magical and hilarious and they make the world seem a little roomier, and if you haven't read any of them you should go out and do so right away.
