I really really enjoyed this episode. It had a good balance to it, the pacing was juuuuust right.
I'm very happy there was less green screen. The library and lab looked pretty good, but it is easier to stay engaged in the story when you are distracted by the little things.
Things are shaping up to be action packed and awesomesauce.
The one thing I didn't like was Kate. She bugged me. I know what they were going for but it came off as really lame. She (or rather) her writers were trying too hard to make her edgy and mouthy. It came off, to me, as really forced and predictable. Who didn't think she would be a)betrayed and b) wind up at the Sanctuary?
Nice to see Helen kicking some serious butt though. Far more intense than anything last year (barring Requiem). Amanda is doing a great job at adding more depth to the character. The leather (pleather) outfit near the end didn't hurt things either. Also nice to see her rocking the Bimmer.
The interaction between characters was nice. I especially enjoyed the beginning with Will and Tesla. I'm enjoying Tesla far more thus far than all of last year.
The fight scenes were nice. Esp. Sanctuary V. Ashley and how broken Helen looked when John teleported her away. EU did a good job coming off as a baddy, she looked like she was enjoying just kicking Sanctuary butt.
