Loving the bad body double

Today, I've watched Fringe.
It's a series about a team investigating weird crimes that have to do with a branch of science called Fringe science, or pseudoscience.
The plot's evolved through the three seasons, but basically there's an alternative universe that has everything this world has, except everything is different. For example I could have been dead or I could have a thousand subscribers to my blog!
A sad story happened and it's got me singing the blues. The protagonist (Anna Torv) was captured and her double sent to our universe. That bad woman had a relationship with the guy (Joshua Jackson). After complicated twists, everything turned alright and everyone into their place. However, Peter had a relationship with Anti-Olivia and Anti-Olivia is now pregnant! Dear God how I almost cried.
I've thought about Peter's situation. Of course he thought it was real Olivia, but it wasn't. He became intimate with Anti-Olivia and the feelings he thought he had for Olivia are really for Anti-Olivia. Could I love someone who I love when it wasn't really that person? Even if they looked the same, would it be the impostor I really loved in the end? What about if that impostor was pregnant? Could I ever forgive her? Obviously Anti-Olivia also grew close to Peter, so basically she fell in love while in mission (cliche).
Talking about complicated relationships, huh? This episode a woman had a special connection with the other universe's version of her husband. Their longing for each other (in both universes their partners had died due to an explosion, just not the same. This means the woman lost her husband and in the parallel universe the man lost his wife) created a soft spot between the universes almost collapsing them!
Imagine, such a strong feeling, such a strong love for one another almost made the world go whaahoo! They were both grieving in the same spot in different locations, far far away. I can't remember the name of the theory (/me checks it). Aha! Quantum entanglement (for further reference). It's such a wonderful story and when the woman realized her man had really died, it was time to let the river flow. How terrible it would be to have your loved one back just to realize it wasn't real?

Wow. That was long and worthless, if you read through that, please leave me a comment letting me know you did, kay?

Other than Fringe my day's been pretty physics-based. We had a physics recap in the morning and when I could've left for home I decided to spend a few hours with my friends! Lovely time.
One was worried about her dentist appointment (which got cancelled, hurray!) and the rest had to stay for their recaps. I continued physics at Granny's and took a 15 min nap before I got picked up. Fun fun.

Also, I have downhill skies now! I hope we will go some day (next week's Thursday-Saturday) to try them out.
It was so much fun last time we were there, even tho I couldn't figure out how to brake! And even then I downhill'd the biggest slopes! Aren't I crazy????
But indeed, I'll have fun with my little brother skiing if we get to go. I think he's already better than me doing that. I only fell once, he fell a few times, but take in count the age difference...

Now I'm hungry and I'll go to eat the fridge. Or something inside it.
Let's have fun and be nice!

Enjoy this beautiful piece of art.
