darchildreI have finished season 1 of Fringe and started season 2.
I find that my enjoyment of season 2 - which I am enjoying immensely - is somewhat marred by the amount of time that I spend yelling, "I hate you, fake Charlie!" at the screen. I mean, it's not that I don't expect my favorite characters to have horrible things happen to them - with my track record, I'm pretty much pleasantly surprised if they manage to last a whole episode - but it's still deeply saddening. It doesn't help that fake Charlie continues to have scenes with Olivia that would be adorable if he were real Charlie.
Also! One of the very few times that I have thought that our team was unbelievably dumb was when they found "Charlie" alone with the presumed shapeshifter corpse and didn't even bother to check the roof of his mouth. You are all intelligent people who are used to dealing with weird shit! One of the first rules of dealing with weird shit is "If the shapeshifter has a verifiable tell and someone is alone with the shapeshifter, you check them for that tell." This is elementary, people, come on.
Even more saddening is the fact that eventually (and it probably won't take long) fake Charlie is going to be caught and then there will be no Charlie at all. And then I will possibly have to cry.
