she looks a lot like Alice with nowhere to go,
and no white rabbit to follow,
she’s falling fast now and she’s talking slow,
she’s gonna kick the habit tomorrow,
tomorrow,
And when she does she’ll be doing fine all the time.

Day 2 | Favourite major character
Olivia Dunham
How can I adequately put into the words how I feel for this wonderful agent of badass fierceness? Olivia is a someone who has overcome a lot of hardships in her life and is a stronger person because of what she’s been through. Overcoming her haunted past has allowed her to see the world the way she does and it has shaped her into the incredibly intuitive, extremely intelligent and astonishingly fearless human she is. (And I can’t not mention how utterly beautiful she is, as well.) Olivia thinks equally with her heart and her head. She has the strength like no other I’ve ever seen. Selfless and stoic, Olivia is always the one to protect others, especially the ones she loves. She may wield a gun and have a vast array of drug-induced abilities (that shall soon emerge full force, I’m sure) her true weapon is her spirit. Olivia is the one character on the show for which my love and opinion of has never wavered. I’ve never doubted her, I’ve always stuck with her and I always will. I love you, Olivia Dunham, and all that you choose to be. And also Anna Torv for portraying her so wonderfully since day one. That’s right, day one. This is an I Love Olivia Dunham Blog for life. -

Alt!Broyles: No, sir. Not yet. Shore patrol says there’s no way she could have made it across—that the currents are impossible this time of year.
Walternate: What do you think?
Alt!Broyles: I think from what I know of Olivia Dunham. She’s the one person I would bet on who could survive.
Walternate: Then find her. -

Five Reasons to Love Olivia Dunham (Fringe)
1. She’s badass. Not pseudo-badass like a lot of other female characters on television who effortlessly kick ass in a mini-skirt and heels. Olivia’s at her best without make-up, her hair tied back, and running breathlessly in a trenchcoat after the person of interest.
2. She’s the main character. In a show that, to some, might be best defined as ‘geeky’, Olivia Dunham is front and center. And no, this show doesn’t gently flirt with science fiction concepts, it delves into them head on. She isn’t your typical eye candy used to lure the male demographic. Instead, Olivia *is* the male demographic, except, you know, not male.
3. She’s not a ~single white female looking for love in all the wrong places~. After the death of her boyfriend in the pilot episode, she’s on her own. Olivia, however, doesn’t bitch and moan about her lack of one. Sure, depending on how you look at it, there’s a little sexual tension between her and Peter from the very start. If you look closely (and even not so closely at times), it’s Peter who initiates sensitive topics and ultimately brings their feelings for one another to the surface.
4. She speaks her mind. Olivia knows she’s not the best at her job, but she tries her damn hardest and usually manages okay. She questions her superiors not because she’s bratty, but because she thinks there’s a better way to handle the job that they’re not aware of. You’ll never see her waiting around to take orders from anyone because that’s not how she rolls. No one puts Olive in the corner (except for that one time Walter did. Oops).
5. Her wardrobe. How many times have you watched a television show and thought ‘wow, I could totally take down a suspected criminal in 4-inch heels and designer sunglasses’? Olivia Dunham keeps it real. I’m sure Tim Gunn would love to throw out all her drab pantsuits and bulky trenchcoats, but this isn’t reality TV. This is supposed to mirror some sort of real life and the simple act of making sure Olivia’s dressed for it does wonders for the character.
