now for my review...
the episode was great!
i'll start with cons:
i saw a bit of a flaw, green screen wise, in one scene where helen and the gang were in that large room, discussing something. not a biggie at all, though.
i wanted more of the car chase, only b/c amanda was driving!
the pros:
first off, the way the ep was filmed, using split screens and such, was brilliant! quite a neat effect that i wasn't expecting.
ashley!! i really felt bad what was happening to her. i can't see how this is going to turn out good for her... (((ash)))
the woman scientist, injecting ash, was interesting, mostly b/c she seemed to feel actually bad about what she was doing. not bad enough, obviously, to NOT do it, but it added an interesting twist.
nice scene between henry and bigfoot. (let's loose bigfoot instead of ashley )
henry! his scene, where he was crying...
the new girl is alright (kate). not at all as annoying as vala (was afraid of this), but still not someone i'm looking forward to seeing more of. yet.
the scene where they all confront vampash; it was great how quickly john grabbed everyone to get them away from her. he knew this was a losing battle.
also a lovely scene between helen and john, sitting wherever they were with the huge moon. i liked what she said about knowing that violence was already in him, still in him, whether tesla exorcised it out of him or not. that obviously haunts helen... she'll never be able to let her heart open to him b/c of it.
(my best for last)
and helen... great scene where she was ready to shoot kate -which i don't blame her for- to get her to talk. didn't help that kate was being snarky. and then wil's great line about her manors matching jack the rippers. i like where the helen-wil relationship is headed, that they can talk so honestly with each other.
but my fave scene was the standoff with helen and ash. you could see the turmoil helen was going through. and helen's anger and plea to john to take her back. as usual, wonderful acting from amanda!!
but i'll tell you... when helen said what she thought was happening, of how the cabal were making super beings, all from ashley... i felt right there, we were seeing how this situation with ashley is going to turn out. i said it to my mom... they're going to kill ashley.
an *excellent* episode and wonderful premier!!

... i don't think Will will be able to stop her, if ashley dies. it won't matter what he says... i'm *almost* looking forward to the scene (i saw it in my head last night when i went to bed). helen would tear the cabal leader inside out. i want her to!
I've read a lot of reviews about the episode and and overall they're quite positive. I can't wait to see more eps and I hope S2 stays as strong as it is now (if not stronger) all the way to the last episode.
