Okay - this is a legit (non related) question: I need some help!
How dare you say something like that (!) or (?) - which would you use...a question mark or the exclamation mark?
Since it's a question, I guess you need to use the question mark. Depends if you're using it in a book or not. On here, you could get away with ?!! but in a 'proper' sentence it wood just have to be ?

Are you sure...because it sounds more like a "how dare you" accusing type of comment, not a "how can you dare to do...." questioning comment!
And of course it's for my book, please! (chapter 19)
I finally put together fullish thoughts on Normandy (as posted in the ep thread)
Spoiler:
I really enjoyed this episode. I'll be very interested to see how it fits in to the grand scheme of the Sanctuary mythology as the season wraps up.
The shipper in me very much enjoyed the John/James and Helen/James moments. Re: Helen/James? At AT5 when someone asked AT whether Helen and Nikola ever got together, at first she said, 'no!' pretty quickly, but then backpedaled a bit and said that if it did happen, it would have been briefly after her relationship with Watson petered out after WW2. Between this and Normandy, it basically confirms Helen/James for me.
For the non-shippy stuff:
I thought this episode was beautifully crafted. Excellent script, the direction was beautiful and unintrusive, and the actors did a lovely job. It was wonderful to see the Five together (or mostly).
I was totally sucked into the story, and had a chuckle at the revisionist history. I thought they really played to the strengths of most of the characters so well. And I love nothing better than a good character piece. And if it's also a period piece? Be still my heart.
My quibbles were minor. AT's wig. *sigh* Has this woman ever worn a good wig on screen? Well, the ones in FKAC were quite nice. I guess they blew their wig budget on the prior episode? Using Robin as Will's grandfather was questionable at best IMO. It really broke through the 4th wall for me and bumped me right out of the story. And his accent kind of irked me. It was a weird combination of Brooklyn/Chicago/Gen Canadian, and made me feel 'oh here is an actor playing a part' rather than, as with the others, forgetting that they were actors playing a part.
Like I said, minor quibbles. Overall, I thought it was just beautifully done and am excited to see how the next episode makes it fit into the overall arc.

I believe this is a "stand alone" episode because they really didn't use anything but that machine to put it into the "story line".
With that said, I agree, really really reeaally nicely done. I also was drawn into the story and none of the accents bothered me at all....(I'm not such a purist)...and yes, they need to pay a little more for the wigs even if they won't be used again. Not a good place to be really tight on the budget. (And yes - they probably got that habit from SG1 - AT wore a few really bad wigs!). The fact is, even if they do a mediocre job it is still so far above most of the crap you see on TV! And this episode was VERY WELL DONE! Personally, I really loved it. And for those who heard Amanda's french accent - they say she did an excellent job. Well, what did you expect. AT doen't do things half way. She makes sure she does it properly!
Darnit! You went and said the magic word again............

I'm not sure it was a standalone - the next ep is called Carentan, I believe
