Fringe

Is it wrong that in a show about teleportation, alternate universes, shared consciousness, and Pacey from Dawson's Creek as a badass criminal, the thing I can't believe is Olivia's abusive stepfather who (after she shot him twice at age nine) sends her sinister greeting cards every year on her birthday? There can't be anyone who thinks it's a good idea to annually remind an FBI agent why she hates you, can there? That'd be like finding out your ex-girlfriend had joined the IRS and then sending her a letter reminiscing about that time she caught you in bed with her sister.
