    The Scene where Helen is being decontaminated is just so hard to watch, you can see how hard it must have been to film for Amanda. It really sets the mood for that new changed/darker world.

      Yes! I love their angsty relationship... it's so dark and painful! But I don't think they could realistically give it another go, so to speak. Too much has happened since their engagement. I just love watching the nuances in their 'relationship' and how you can still feel the undercurrent of emotions in their interactions with each other.

        I don't think I need to say who I prefer Helen with.

          I like the idea of Will/Helen because I like the actors and, if we were still dealing with a first half of season one Will, perhaps I'd like the potential chemistry between the characters. But, and it's no secret how much I like Robin, I'm just really, really fighting to like Will. Plus, and it pains me to say this, some of Robin's acting choices are questionable. Like in the Pavor Nocturnus ep, he was so horrifically overacting…those facial expressions as he was charging into battle…oh my.

          As much as I do like him, I think it's clear he's outacted in this series. In most all his other work he's more evenly matched so some of these stronger tendencies he's got to pull faces or put on affectations never stood out as much. Or hell, maybe it's just the character. I don't know… But in any event, now that we're into season 2 I find myself firmly off the Helen/Will bandwagon that I saw glimpses of (and sort of wanted to hop on) at the very beginning of the series.

          I agree that the Helen/John ship has sailed but boy does their history make for some excellent tension between them. Like post-RST?

              Okay, it's official: Veritas is my favorite episode of this season so far. Maybe even the series.

              It had angst, intrigue, humor, subtext…what more could a fan ask for? I loved the scene at the end with Henry and Biggie. The smack in the elevator made me LOL and wake up the dogs.

                I enjoyed Veritas as well. But I wouldn't go as far as saying it's my favorite of the whole series. It's been a while since I've seen all the eps (and I still have to catch up with you, Amara) but I think Tempus would be my favorite and there are some excellent season 3 (and more of 4) too IIRC.

                  Okay, perhaps I should have said favorite of the series so far since I've still got two and a half seasons to go. But I did really enjoy that one.

                        My favorite one from that season is "Sleepers".

                          So, I'm watching Next Tuesday and…why on earth is Helen so intent on Will not going to Reykjavik?

                          Seriously? She's upset that he wants to ditch her for a conference and a potential lay? Very petty, Helen, very petty.

                          Edit: Okay, so no conference. Just sex. But still, c'mon Helen go let the boy get him a piece. I mean, he probably doesn't have to go all the way to Iceland to do it, but whatever straightens his kinks, you know?

                          Edit 2: Oh Helen, double standard much? You're gonna go get yours so you're going to make sure Will can't go get his? I get it - you're higher on the totem pole. But still. (And not for nothing, but I typed the "double standard much" before I watched Will say it. But still…bonus points for me.) Anyway, now I'm feeling a little bad for Helen because it looks like she was going to not enjoy a fun weekend away with Olaf. And that just seems like denying herself unnecessarily.

                          Edit 3: Also, I mentioned a couple of hours (and episodes) ago how I wasn't snipping/and was trying not to ship Will/Helen, but this episode, guys, there's subtext. And a couple of moments. And some bonding. Still not great chemistry - which is strange if you think about it because Robin and Amanda have amazing chemistry - so anyway, it's not a ship I'm sold on, but I can the potential (at this point) and why some viewers may have gone there first time around. Damn it.

                            And now I'm on to Penance and oh my goodness it's Michael Shanks! (Btw, that is so Amanda's smile for Michael because that's how Sam used to smile at Daniel…)

                            Edit: Can I please be shot on screen with Michael Shanks to take care of me? Thank you to whomever can make that happen.

                            Edit 2: Damnit, Kate. Why do you have to have such a compelling backstory. I don't want to be sympathetic to you! Also, I get the sense that Jimmy had something to do with Kate's father's death…

                            Edit 3: Aw, man. Really?!? So Jimmy planted the bomb that killed Kate's dad? This sucks.

                            Edit 4: Will's going naked swimming with Sally? Yep. Now I want to be a telepathic mermaid...

                              And now I'm watching Sleepers.

                              Edit 1: Tesla! (I think I've identified the reason it's among your favorites, Sparky ) Why on earth did he pick a German name?

                              Edit 2: On a side note - I find Jonathon Young to be very unattractive. I love the snarky chemistry between him and Helen, but I just can get past his looks. I know - that makes me an awful person.

                              Edit 3: So what, Tesla? That Vampire gene not working quite the way you intended. What's that you were saying about being a genius? How smart are you feeling now?

                              Edit 4: Side note #2 - Somethread this weekend I mentioned something about guys winking and so far today I've gotten to watch Robin Dunne do it twice. Who has two thumbs and is slightly giddy? This girl!

                              Edit 5: Dude, I actually feel kind of bad for Tesla. And really bad for Helen being the last of the five.

                              Edit 6: Wait. What? So he's magnetic now? And does that mean he's still technically a Five and I don't have to feel bad for him?

                                Okay, I'm watching Haunted. That means I'm "caught up" with all the episodes that have aired and I'll be back to week-to-week viewing. (Okay, I'm not sure it's fair to be sad about that considering I had 7 or 8 eps on my DVR when I started this afternoon…)

                                Edit 1: John's back! This is just a bang-up season isn't it?!? It occurs to me now that there are only 2 more episodes left in this season. Then, only two seasons after that. Damn. Also, I'm feeling bad for John. What's up with this show and making me feel bad for guys I don't like? And one more also: I'm not sure I think John's up to all good here this time around. (Because he's been so lily white so far… )

                                Edit 2: I love Will in doctor mode. Sometimes it's easy to forget he's got med-school under his belt. It occurs to me that everyone else has very clear job descriptions. Will just seems to go where Helen needs/wants him to go. He's like the plug-in when they need a guy to do a thing (like Skye in S.H.I.E.L.D, but don't get me started). Here's a guy that's a doctor. More than that, he's a psychiatrist. How come we so seldom see him psychiatry-ing?

                                Edit 3: Dear John, I hate you. Go choke on something. Sincerely, me.

                                Edit 4: Geez, John, trying to get a degree in mixed signals? You're so unhappy you want to die. So you do something that will Make Helen come after you. She does, as you expected, and once there you fling a knife at her to force her hand. Then you run. Like a little *****. Stupid man.
                                (And has anyone else noticed Heyerdahl's characters in this show are both exceptionally yellow? I'm worrying about jaundice at this point.)

                                Edit 5: Dear John, I still really freaking hate you. Go choke on something and die. Sincerely, me.

                                Edit 6: You know, the Sanctuary is creepy enough without it being possessed by an angry entity...

                                Edit 7: Dear John, I'm a little sorry. Sincerely, me (the sorry one)

                                Edit 8: Amanda, you're too freaking pretty. Gah! Those eyes get me every time!



                                Edit 9: Oh, dammit. John. He's possessed again. Why do I feel so badly about this? Geez.
