This is amazing work. Usually things like this are going on in my head, but I can never seem to get them written down :) I am actually working on a piece of fic that takes place in 1888 and you are right about not having any definite dates! And the one that we do have totally messed up my timeline.
I love how you talked about how different John's character is in the episodes, compared to how he was in the webisodes. I know that some people were disappointed in the change, but I think the change made him a more 3D character, instead of just The Big Bad. And this brings up something else about this show...other than Ashley (IMO) everyone has a story. Even the Henry, who seems to be the comic relief, has a story and we actually get to delve into it!
As far as John and Helen's relationship -- so complicated! You really hit on some important points and I totally agree. As much as I would love to see them together, I don't really think that is plausible any time in the near future, and this tormented love is so much better! I liked "For King & Country" but I think that their ease with each other in "Vigilante" was a little much -- for me.
You should totally join my Sanctuary community: sanctuary_cafe Your insight would be great. We started with Season 1, and each week we are discussion a different episode. Since finishing up with SFA, we've had a little trouble getting the discussions really going. Maybe because the next couple episodes really aren't anyone's favorites. But it would be great to see you over there.
