Thier is a mixed reaction to this episode. I rather liked the stuff in the present but found my mind wandering with the 1960s stuff. Thier was something about the time traveling Pete and Myka that interested me. It was a little too predictible and cliche. I just saw what was going to happen 10 minutes into the episode. The minute I saw the businessman's wife I knew she was to blame. But their is a silve lining. The interaction between Pete and Myka and how they relate to Jack and Rebecca is quite entertaining and funny. Its funny how much the two pairs mirror one another. Plus I loved the joke about Mrs. Fredricks scarring everyone. I will say this despite the boredem of the A story the part of Rebecca wanting to die to see Jack one last time was sad and quite touching.
The real gold of this episode is the tension between Artie and Wells and the rest of the warehouse group. I know this is pretty polarized opinion in W13 fandom so I don't really want to post favorites (even if I do have my side). I just have to say its really interesting to see the hostility their is between one another. Given their history in W13 both sides is understandable. More importantly the Artie/Wells stuff seems in character unlike the Myka and Wells stuff of past episodesOriginally posted by aretood2Jelgate is right

I found it a little slow this week too. A bit predictable all-around, and I was a little annoyed at how suddenly Artie went from distrusting HG's time travel device to believing it worked just fine as soon as Pete and Myka woke up.
I'm also not totally clear on what happened with Rebecca at the end. If the time machine causes you to totally take over the recipient's body, how come she remembers waking up in a field and then kissing him--if she was occupying her own body up until the kiss happened? And if the guy had always been a jerk to her, how come he was all lovey-dovey "should've done this a long time ago" right at the end?
On another topic, does anyone else still feel like H.G. is hiding something? I know they've been pushing the redemption angle for a while now, and used this episode as a vehicle for Artie to forgive her, but it still feels off IMO. Like she could still betray them at any moment."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

The other thing is, at the beginning of the episode, she mentioned that she was always in love with him but they were mean to each other (kids in the playground I suppose, just like Pete and Mika, probably..). I suppose he was too, and this is justified by Jack's line.
The thing I like about this episode is that you can't change the past. I think they did this quite well. I also liked the reference to HG's time machine.
Warehouse 13's approach to certain things reminds me of Sanctuary, it flips the cultural references upside down and inside out, which I really like.
Sure this episode is predictable at times, but most if not all of shows are. I learned long ago to not think too far ahead while watching TV
This is one of my favourite episodes of the season, and I found the ending (with Rebecca) one of the best. I don't want Artie to start trusting HG though. Maybe it's a plan of his to weed her out, lull her into a false sense of security in her plan for whatever?
I liked the part where HG talked about her experience with Claudia. I think Scagliotti played the reaction perfectly. I awkwardly laughed during that scene at the end.

I really enjoyed this episode all around, of course for this show I an less critical and just try to enjoy the ride. So Ms. Fredrick was in charge in the 60's as well? No way she was 15 years old then so I now tip my hat (if I wore one) to SunKrux for seeing that one coming.
I'm really hoping HG Wells ends up dying to save the team instead of being the one killing them, even if she does have an ulterior motive I hope it is selfishly noble...like trading places with her daughter or something.sigpic

I really enjoyed the ep. I'm one of the few who sees Myka and HG as strictly friends and it was nice to see Myka stick up for her friend, even though I still think that deep down that Myka knows HG is up to no good. But I think she's ignoring it because she totally understands the urge to go back and stop the death of someone you love.
LOVED that Myka couldn't handle the old dictating machine/tape recorder. LOL
Loved Pete wanting to stop the women from being killed. He might be a big ol goofball but he's got a big heart.
Was sad to see Rebecca leave, but at least she got to see Jack one more time. Cancer sucks big time.sigpic
I prefer to be called Sunny, Sun or SK. Thanks.
