like you, I have some problems with Olivia. It's a great performance but something just feels off in the writing. I never know if she's Superwoman or a scared little girl.

Yeah, that's kind of it...and sometimes it works - her badassery is awesome, and sometimes her breakdowns are understandable and humanize her; but sometimes they seem...gratuitous? (also it irritated me that her superpowers are triggered by fear, that she's *supposed* to become a scared little girl again to save the world. I just can't imagine doing that arc with a male hero...)

So far s3 has been a roller coaster, so am very curious about s4! But glad to hear the reassurances...
