Valentine's Day Countdown Finale-Love on the Fringe

I know that I have thrown around the word epic quite a bit in these entries but there is one couple who epitomizes the word like no other. They actually had to cross universes to be together. A twist of fate so unlikely, the product of a scientist mad with grief and a dead son, that these two should have met at all is miraculous. I'm talking of course about Peter and Olivia.

#1 Olivia crosses over to another universe to tell Peter that he belongs with her from Fringe.

Much like Mulder and Scully, these two are building their relationship slowly and with plenty of obstacles thrown in for good measure. When the show started Olivia was happily involved with another man who was killed and a mother who died when she was young. She is very reserved, making it hard for people to know her. But she is a good person, who will do anything to help another. She is strong-willed, brave and independent. Peter is a nomad. Damaged with a mother who killed herself when he was young and a adversarial relationship with his father. He is a good person, who is learning that he will do anything to help another. He is very self-contained making it hard for people to get to know him. He is strong-willed, brave and independent. They both are lonely and have much trauma from their childhood to overcome. They are both unfathomably deep but that depth is disguised and hidden. They are beautiful together. She can give him the feel of a family and life that he could never have conceived on his own. He can make her feel the love that she has never allowed herself to feel before. They complete each other. If you have not watched the show, I cannot go into all the details of their relationship. The looks, the touches, the worry, the conversations. If you have, you know what I am talking about. But, the relationship moved into new territory with part two of Season two's finale. Peter has returned to the universe that he was taken from as a child and Olivia has crossed over to save him. This is where she finally confronts her own feelings for him and acts on them. For those of us who have taken this journey with her, we know how absolutely hard this must have been.

A beautiful moment, beautifully executed between two of the most gorgeous characters on TV today.

Well, that is the end. I hope you have enjoyed this journey as much as me. Tell your Valentine that you love them, if you can't be with the one you love, love the one your with and for all you singleton's, love yourself. Love comes in many forms and guises, sometimes it comes quickly or not at all. But everyone should have it at least once in their life. It really does make the world go round. Happy Valentine's Day!
