Woo reaction spoilers etc
Spontaneous reactions:
PETER WINGFIELD!!!
Sanctuary's back, yay!
PETER WINGFIELD!!
Ever since the trailers I've been worried about the cast, by the way. Lastly with the, uh, opening picture. Hey, I didn't love Kate at first. I could stand her. Then I liked her, and then I loved her. Or... REALLY liked her, at least. And great, gee, thanks, as soon as you start liking someone they're basically gone. Or literally gone. Sigh, TV choices.
Also John. Biggie instead of John? Really? Well, okay.
I hope this doesn't mean anything.
Anyway, I should watch the episode.
JAMES!!!
"You've taken a terrible tumble." James, you are adorable. Era, you are adorable!
I like Helen's room, with the bed out from the corner. I'd do that if I had enough space. Fireplace, too. To die for.
JEALOUSY FOR WHOM! Helen says to John re: hanging out with James. Oh dear!
Darling, hello! Jaaaames and Heleeeennn. I love it.
The hell. So what's up with random turok-han creature? Because John killed the women. Did the abnormal kill them in this timeline? Was anything changed in the end? Did that change? Did they both kill people but it was unrelated? Is John innocent? Excuse me... I'm slow, and confused, and I have a massive headache.
Also living that many years alone and then rejoining "our" timeline? Won't that be beyond strange? In our present time, she'll have been gone for a second, or not at all, but to her extremely many years will have passed. She must feel so detached by the time it's, well, time to join again.
Overall reaction:
Well, I liked seeing the past through the Helen we know and love. Mad appreciation for Past Helen, too, but I like her better when she's modern and fierce (and brunette).
Time travel is always confusing, but equally entertaining most of the... time. Yeah, that word keeps cropping up. It was cool enough to have Helen hide from Helen. Psych! In a way.
Nice to have more a point/ending to the Adam Worth thing. It felt sort of moot earlier. I didn't really understand what he was doing then, and then he sort of just disappeared.
But now that's settled. Poor man, losing his daughter.
The episode wasn't bad, but it wasn't good either. Well, no, it was good. It just wasn't fantastic.
Dunno. Need to go take care of my headache. More later if I think of anything.
Cheers!
ETA:
Well. If one's smart... the dates don't match up and it's all blah blah ten years, or whatever. So John did the original murders, and now James is suspecting other murders to be John's work. Helen knows it's not, and helps the situation by talking to Jack blah blah. And all is well.
I've also come to the conclusion that I do like this episode. I'm very fond of experiencing the past with our Helen, and not via flashback.
At the end of last season I was moping around, because the show had stayed so far from what I originally loved. We had several neutral episodes, and some flat out dumb ones, and then simply boring ones. Lots of Will and Abby and Helen and Will. And Helen and Will. And also Will. And then some more Will.
Honestly, I don't like Will that much. I 'whatever' him. I suppose that's sad, and I'm sorry. It's not that I hate him, he's just... boring? Personal opinion!
I loved the Magnus family! John and Helen and Ashley. Their story. Which is part why I like this episode, I realized, because it was a callback to their relationship and it made me think of how scared season one Helen was of John [returning]. It makes perfect sense for her to fear him after the scene we witnessed. He threatened her severely. That was traumatic. Look at her face!
I can understand how it must've felt good to kick his ass after listening in on that conversation and knowing the things she knows, and feeling the way she does. Because she clearly enjoyed beating him up, or does anyone disagree?
They're so dysfunctional, those two. Nor a normal relationship, that.
Although I liked this episode and am excited to have the show back I'm still worried about this season. This was good, but how will they deal with the rest? I don't really care at all about Praxis or Hollow Earth abnormals coming out of hiding or whatever. And I finally fell in love with Kate, and she was already underused, and now she'll be reduced even more? That's just unlucky.

no subject
So if Victorian Helen lives until the Time Hole Thing then being the Helen we knows and love ("Our" Helen, how confusing), and is then somehow stopped going back in time... by 100+ Helen... (How many years was it anyway? 113?) who then goes back... in time... again.
But.
Wouldn't it be hard to do everything exactly the same, and... but. Wait.
Doesn't that change things? Because if 100+ Helen goes back... she is a different person then than she was the first time she goes back. Doesn't that alter things? She'd act differently and have different reactions, and I don't know. Plus she'd have to live another 100+ years alone again... but wait, then she can't, because the other Helen never went back in time... so she'd always...
So then there'd always be two Helens! Unless that Helen went back in time twice and then killed herself.
That is... Quite dramatic. But I like it.
But it's very sad.
And confusing.
But yes! I think. I think I get what you mean. OH JESUS LOL!
Yeah! Oh, please, yes. I'd rather have more of most anyone rather than Will. I'm so sick of him. I don't exactly hate him. Not the character as such, no. But I do dislike him every now and then, and I'm generally TIRED of him being everywhere ALWAYS. Can we please reduce HIS time instead? Ugh. He is so BORING! I feel nothing towards him. I don't hate him, but I don't love him either. It's a mix between maybe liking him/finding him boring/not caring either effin' way.
But anyway, Kate was the point of that section. And yeah, I hope she'll return full time later on. I don't know if I can take her being written off and having a third woman in four season enter the show. If they keep this up they'll basically average a chick a season.
Replacing cast is necessary at times, yeah, but come onnn!
