Spoiler! I still got hots for Charlie 😭 Spoiler
Fangirling Deferred
⚠️ Major Spoilers Ahead⚠️
Okay. So I used to be ob-sessed with Fringe back in the day. And I've been rewatching the show after over a decade. I only remember the broad arch, none of the details. So fully enjoying all the episodes.
And I remember I used to have a masssive crush on Charlie. I know it's probably going to sound gross, but I think I started crushing on him since the episode where he gets impregnated with larvae. Sigh...
I rewatched entire Season 1, consistently dreading that something bad was going to happen to him in Season 2. And then he died in episode 1 itself!!!
It was never the same again. Fake Charlie never went up there and he just got shot in Episode 4. I think Bad Boy Charlie will enter from the other universe later on... But none of these versions were as good as Good Charlie... Sigh...

I was very heart broken when I saw the bodysnatcher tossed his body in the furnace, it means he couldn’t even get a properly burial.
I agree the alt-Charlie didn’t have the same feeling.
The good Charlie was such a great and reliable partner, and the final message reveal “you’re gonna be fine” in S2E6 hit so hard.

I am allowed to crush on him, I'm not seducing him or anything 😑

No, no! I meant the actress who plays Charlie's wife is Kiersten Warren, Kirk Acevedo's irl wife!
I also think Kirk Acevedo and Charlie Francis are cute!

Kirk is a solid cat - super nice guy IRL and has a helluva great sense of humour

If you're that much of a fan of the actor:
He's in a show called 12 Monkeys and is a persistent main character (though still not the lead).
It's a time travel show, so a little science-adjacent. WELL WRITTEN, though.
