Fringe often feels like a ghost story to me; they don't have ghosts, per se, but there's always this tangible, inescapable presence of history, from the machinery in Walter's lab to the look in Olivia's eyes.

What a beautiful image, and idea. It's about the ghosts of human history (emotional history).

There's all this silly science, it's almost deliberate camp at moments, and yet the show has this anchor, this weight to it and it feels real. We believe in the world because the characters and their emotions are real.

The explosion of Fringe meta between you and ignipes amuses me. <3 I'm happily rolling around in new show/new fandom squee here.
