holdover annoyance from the longer plot arc that kept trying to set us up for 'which Olivia will Peter choose?!?
I think maybe it is because I watched it all in one big chunk, that it never felt like that to me. More, that plotline read more to me about both Olivias and Peter grappling with the meaning of self and identity and choices both made and taken away.
Though I suspect I would have had far less patience and leaned towards a less favorable reading had I been watching week to week with that long to wait on it to all play out.
OMG they better not ever kill Astrid. I will throw such a tantrum.
