Thank you! :) (This song! The band is my very favorite, and the song is one of their best, IMO.)
Also, the epic romance that is key to the sci-fi plot is one of the reasons why I love this show as well.
I remember watching S2 (...basically all at once) and S3 and just growing more and more amazed by how integral the romance was to Olivia's powers, the machine, and the war between the universes. So many other SF stories throw in a romance because they think they need one on the side, or spend all their time preventing one from growing. It's incredibly refreshing to see a show not only giving a love story the same level of development as any other important plot point, but making so much of the rest of the story arc depend on it.
