but then we started seeing SO MUCH of them, and so little of Olivia, that I ended up resenting them.
Yes, any departure from All Ourlivia, All The Time is something of a disappointment. The screentime balance was off, especially at first.
although Bell's possession was kind of annoying in itself.
Kind of annoying, yet if they're gonna take Olivia away for a few episodes, Possession By Leonard Nimoy is one of the best ways to do it!
And it did have some plot relevance, which was unexpected.
Every scene with the baby kinda made me break out in hives, but yes, I'm surprised they managed to connect it in a meaningful way. Although how exactly did they use it to turn the machine on? Sprinkle baby blood on it? That's... a bit pagan.
Or maybe they'll invent a reason to ship people back and forth between them regularly...
Admittedly, I may just want both universes to stick around so we can still have a Charlie...
