Ugh, yes. Kali was another thing that ran on too long.

See, the thing is this: I really, really like the idea of Helen having a super BAMF lady friend who understands all her stuff. I think that is super interesting, like you said. I just don't 'ship it at all and I don't see what everyone else is flailing about with all the ~sexual tension~ because I just have this mindset of Gregory/Ranna in my head. Maybe I am Helen/Ranna-blind.

(Also, I think I would be fine with it if the people flailing about it on Tumblr didn't get on my last nerve. But, I seem to be programmed to hate the things they love, so.)

Agreeable chemistry - that is a good way to put it. But I also just still hold out for Helen/Nikola friends-with-benefits, so that clouds a lot of my vision.

LOOK HOW FAR KATE AND I HAVE COME! I AM SAYING SHE IS THE BEST PART OF AN EPISODE.

YOUR FEELINGS ARE MY FEELINGS. When season three started I just suddenly loved her, and was like "The six months ago me hates the now me so much right now." I don't know, man, I know that at first I was just mad at her because she wasn't Ashley. And then in all that time between April and October, my angerhate ebbed, and then season three started and she kept on doing stuff like being the boss of bank jobs and saying funny things and being cute and making me ship her with Henry, and now I JUST LIKE HER SO MUCH.

Other things: HENRY BEING SO EXCITE. I have not rewatched the episode because of being at work but I can tell you that my 100% absolute favorite part is still Helen's mom-like "Henry.Also I feel a little bit like Helen's cure was too easy, even though it wasn't really. Because like I know it was hard for them to like find the place and get down there but then with all the months between the episodes you sort of forget about all that and ( ... )

Yes, I think "Bank Job" was really a turning point for me and Kate. Another reason it's one of the best episodes out there. Ugh, maybe I will watch that again to regain some "Sanctuary" love.

I do love mom!Helen. That is a great thing.

I really feel like everything about this episode was too easy. Oh, just wake up again, here's some juice. Oh your radiation sickness is gone. Oh John just took care of Adam good-bye. (I mean, obviously that will come up later, but...still). Basically, I think they didn't know how to wrap this storyline up, and I think it showed.

adventurepants April 16 2011, 20:04:23 UTC

RIGHT, JUST HAVE SOME NASTY JUICE. EVERYTHING IS OKAY NOW. I just feel like they try to do too much at once when they come back from hiatus and they need to just be all Bank Job all the time. Actually, my favorites this year were Animus and For King and Country, and also umm whatever the first Uncle Nikola episode was called. For as excited as people got about Breach, it was not in my top faves. I'll tell you what I liked about it though. I liked when Will called Kate "Katie," so now I just call her Katie all the time.

I pretty much liked all of the front episodes of S3 - with the exception of Hero II because that was dumb and Kali III. But Bank Job, man. I just loved that episode a lot. But FKaC brought the feelings in a really good way.

Also, Kanaan. a;dflafsd;jas Teyla.

lavenderseaslug April 16 2011, 17:53:11 UTC

Yes. Forever, yes.

adventurepants April 16 2011, 20:06:48 UTC

I just think Teyla should guest star. This is my husband, look at his striations.

Ranna/Gregory is a thing. I saw it too.

lavenderseaslug April 16 2011, 19:24:31 UTC

Okay good, I am glad I am not the only one.

missparker April 16 2011, 19:27:43 UTC

I also saw some Helen/Ranna tension at first so then when Gregory appeared and he and Ranna were all eye-smoldering, it was like, WELL THIS IS AN AWKWARD TRIANGLE and then I didn't really know what to feel. But Gregory wanted to stay in Hollow Earth so that's gotta say something.

lavenderseaslug April 16 2011, 20:03:28 UTC

I feel like I would be more willing to see the tension if I weren't so opposed to the way various fangirls on the internet are choosing to express their support of the pairing, but yes, awkward triangle for sure, and not in a good way. But I feel like even though Gregory is a scientist always looking for new information, he stayed behind for more than just the opportunity to learn about the wonders below the earth, so.

You are not the only one who didn't get a single lesbian vibe from this. I, too, assumed that Ranna was doing Gregory ( ... )

lavenderseaslug April 16 2011, 20:32:57 UTC

Okay, thank god. I thought I was going a little crazy for a second. Like, it's not that I would care if it happened, it's just that I didn't see it happening. Ranna/Gregory ftmfw. As my obscure cracky ships go, it's not the weirdest ( ... )
