So.... Peter ?

[Pixada]

I actually hate myself for finding Fauxlivia more attractive.

[Olive_Dunham]

This! That scene broke my heart. He starts telling her about Fauxlivia's more desirable traits and tries to flirt with him. "I'm here now?" It hurt to watch, it really did.

That said, I still worry about which Olivia it'll come down to. In Brown Betty we basically saw two Olivias: the buttoned up professional Olivia, and the wet hair, Peter's pajama's Olivia. And I'm still at a loss as to who is there at the end.

I've never felt like I could get a terribly good read on Peter, and this most recent episode made me doubt even more.

here's something I wanted to point out:



Olivia's smile was more genuine, yes, but the dinner with Fauxlivia was the bar situation over and over again

I never got why people thought Fauxlivia was more attractive - her comparative shallowness is a total turn off IMHO. And hey, I kind of like that subtle, understated kind of hotness, but that's just me.

What bar situation? I'm lost now... I saw you talking about that early on, about some card game, but I just can't remember that on any episode...

And I think the fringe makes her more tasty.

Well, I'm making it about looks here. Fauxlivia is as hot as is Olivia in the way I have her on my avatar: she's more agressive at that time. I guess having your life on the line can do that for you. And the fringe brings out the best of her.

yeah...or maybe it's the fact that we dont know her too well
Most of the time she was pretending to be Liv, and the time she was herself she was mean
and of course there's the fact that she was getting in between the love story we've been shipping for years

Oh yes...It's in 'Safe'
Olivia believes she knows the guy in the wall...(Although she knows him from John Memories)...so she goes to the guy's wife, and the wife tells her that he used to hang out with another veteran who was working on a bar
So she tells Walter and Peter that she's heading to the bar, and Peter listens 'bar, in Cambridge' and goes with her...
And then the spend one hour in the bar fooling around and flirting...
so cute....she was so happy and smiley...

The bar scene was from season one, the "Safe" episode. Liv and Peter go to a bar to question the bartender and they hang out for a while drinking and doing card tricks for each other. It's a really cute scene. Peter is kind of miffed that she introduces him as her brother!

She was mean? Because she's here on our universe on a mission protecting her universe from what she has been told to be a menace?

Walternate has an entire world fooled into believing our universe is at war with them. Can you blame her for fighting for her home?

Gosh, it's been so long since season 1, didn't even remember that... Another one I'll have to rewatch, I guess.

So what was your pointing in pointing out this smile comparision?

well, personally I thought she was pretty "mean" for killing the deaf guy in cold blood, which was completely unnecessary. but ya, Walternate has them all conned into believing all the humans on THIS side are monsters, though how snowed by his reasoning she could be when she only found out about our alternate universe like, a day before she swapped places with our Olivia...

Which bar situation? Do you mean when Fauxlivia and Peter were at the restaurant? I think that Fauxlivia's smile is more confident, self-assured, but not as genuine. I see that kind of smile on a regular basis where I work. Businessmen/women give that type of smile when dealing with clientele to keep up their face. No genuineness behind it, but when they let their guard down and when they're with their friends, their smiles are more genuine. Olivia's seems more genuine...to me at least.
