Do we really care that Dickinson is dead? Its a stunt casting to start the show. It really does not matter if its him or someone else that got the team to DC and then Russia.
With the exception of the cemetery scene Myka and Wells did not bother me. It seemed more rational and in character for Myka this time. Escpecially when Myka get her head chewed off. Something so probably deserved. Anyway it was interesting see her work with theam as Wells continues on looking for redemption. I liked seeing that. But above all that I liked all the Artie focus. From the backstory to seeing him react to all these revelations I liked learning more about Artie. He is my favorite character after all. Somehow I think in the end he will be right on Wells can not be trusted a returning agent.
I didn't care for more of the Claudia/Todd love angle. It was predictible from the state that Todd didn't know about the warehouse. Except for the phony gun standoff it was dullOriginally posted by aretood2Jelgate is right

Loved the backstory for Artie!
The H.G. Wells storyline is getting very interesting. She and Myka continue to work well together and Pete seems to be willing to go with the flow. I'm very interested in seeing if Artie is right about her or if he will end up eating humble pie.
As for Todd, interesting twist with him being in witness protection and a technogeek like Claudia. But did they really need to leave the door open for him to return? I just never bought into the character.I tell you Teal'c, hockey is the coolest game on Earth!
Did you not say it is played on ice, O'Neill?

Not the best episode this week. I appreciated the background on Artie, but other than that it was kind of boring."A society grows great when old men plant trees, the shade of which they know they will never sit in. Good people do things for other people. That's it, the end." -- Penelope Wilton in Ricky Gervais's After Life

I actually liked the ep. Not that upset about the Claudia/Todd stuff. My theory about who Todd is was totally off. Oh well.
I don't think HG is Myka's clone. I think she's playing everyone, including Myka and it's not going to end well for either of them. I like their dynamic (Myka & HG and not in the romantic relationship way either). They play well off each other. I see them more as BFFs then lovers but then I've never been into femslash. Not saying it's a bad thing, just not my cuppa. I liked that there is a Regent who's HIGHER than Mrs. Fredric who ultimately calls the shots on who's hired.
Also, so do not trust HG. She's using them all for her own purpose. Don't know if it's good or bad yet, but I don't trust her and if the ***** hurts my gal Myka...I'll choke her myself. LOL
Poor Pete, not sure what to do with the conflict Artie & Myka are having or with the fact that now he's got two female partners to deal with. LOL It's going to be interesting for the next few weeks. I can't wait.sigpic
I prefer to be called Sunny, Sun or SK. Thanks.

I love seeing Artie's backstory. Can't wait for the ep when we meet his dad. What will his reaction be to finding out that his son has been alive all these years?You're never too old to do something goofy.sigpicGrowing older is mandatory. Growing up is optional.

The Wells thing is interesting, I'm also hoping and thinking that there's something else going on. Perhaps she's not "evil" but just out to do what she said, get a time machine and fix her past regardless of the rules and such. Is it me or does Claudia seem to actually like her?
And I agree, the Todd thing I did not like from the first moment they had a date >.>. Claudia and love stories aren't good for anything other than a small laugh. I'd like to see her go back to Gizmo building
Though her stalkerish qualities did show this episode (I mean do you remember her room in her first episode?) That was good.

I thought this was a solid episode. Using two of the Washington contacts to find Artie (or set him up) was really good, and added a personal touch for Pete and Myka. The use of artifacts and the chase were both really interesting.
The HG Wells story is a little troublesome. With Artie so against her I don't think she would become an agent so easy, I also find it hard to believe Ms. Fredrick would be very trusting. I personally think Wells supplied the killer with the artifacts, but I guess we'll see.
The Todd/Claudia story was a little stupid...but funny at times.sigpic

The only thing that I really don't like about the HG Wells story line is it was never fully explained why she so readily killed James MacPherson AND SMILED LIKE A KID IN A CANDY STORE (other than 'he would have killed you!') and why MacPherson debronzed HG Wells in the first place.
Personally I think MacPherson would have made a better recurring cast member because of his relationship with Artie. But perhaps they made HG the recurring cast member because Myka needed a relationship other than Pete, and Artie already has Claudia.

Oh she's up to something and she's totally using Pete, Artie and especially Myka to get it. It's not going to end well for Myka I fear. I fear that Myka's trust in people is going to go back to what it was like in S1 after HG is done with her.

I actually like that they haven't told us yet what HG's game is. Makes it much more intriguing. Is she really as evil as they've "made her out to be" or is she more like Q from Star Trek: The Next Generation? Not really good or evil, but more out for herself and damn the consequences or if anyone else gets hurt in her wake. MacPherson while a good "baddie" was, imho, kinda boring because it was easy to figure out what he wanted. He wanted to let the artifacts stay out in the real world because he didn't think the Regents or anyone else had the right to protect the public from the ill effects of the artifacts. I found that kinda boring and predictable. HG's motives are not as clear nor is it easy to tell if she's truly bad or if she's slightly good.sigpic
