Sanctuary: Tempus

[grav_ity]

OMG, YOU GUYS! I don't remember the last time I looked forward to a premiere this much. I AM SO EXCITED ABOUT EVERYTHING!

ALL THE GLEE! ALL OF IT! FOREVER!

JAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMES! And LeStrade! EVERYTHING IS BEAUTIFUL AND NOTHING HURTS! OH GOD, and the scene with HELEN? I CAN'T EVEN! She's trying SO HARD and he's being SO AWESOME and OMG, SHE KNOWS HOW HE DIES AND THEY ARE SO, SO RIDICULOUSLY FOND OF EACH OTHER!

(Just assume that everything is in CAPS, btw. I may put the SUPER exciting things in EXTRA CAPs, but my whole post is probably going to be an OVERLOAD OF JOY, so while you read it, imagine me FLAILING AT YOU, because that is pretty much what I am doing.)

Um, did they just change the date of Gregory's disappearance? NOT COOL, SHOW! Fortunately, James is REALLY PRETTY and pronounces iodine in the way that makes me yell "SAY HIMALAYAS!" at the screen, so I don't care. ALSO! SKULLS OF CONTINUITY! *pets*

AND NOW HE'S GOING THROUGH HER POCKETS! OMG, 1898Jame/iPhone is MY NEW OTP. OH GOD, "visiting someone's grave", JAMES, AND HE'S FIGURED IT OUT! I need to go hyperventilate FOREVER.

Hmmm, Blonde!Helen is wearing the pink dress from the Adam Flashback...

Helen: Better?
James: Much.
Kate: JUST KISS ALREADY!
Kate's Brain: Well, it's nice to know the conditioning still works...

I refuse to feel bad for Adam. I just...refuse. DON'T TAKE AWAY MY MUSTACHE TWIRLING BAD-GUY!

OH GOD, THE PAST IS ALREADY CHANGING! WHAT DOES THIS MEEEEEEEEAN? OH GOD, WE GET TO SEE JAMES BEING A DETECTIVE!

(I really did mean to cut down on the CAPs. Sorry. Except not really.)

HELEN, OH GOD! IT HURTS SO MUCH. HE'S NOT A SUPERVILLAIN YET! PLEASE DON'T MAKE HIM INTO ONE!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! IN THE LAB! OMG! I WAS NOT PREPARED!

"And now jealousy? For whom?" BE RIGHT BACK, DYING FOREVER! OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG! *complete explosion of SQUEEE!* OH GOD, EVERYTHING IS PERFECT AND EVERYTHING HURTS!

(Um...WHAT THE FRAK JUST HAPPENED? I DON'T CARE! OH GOD, HELEN! *hugs her*)

THEY ARE DATING IN 1898! WE WIN AT EVERYTHING, FOREVER! (Are they building the Ashely machine just to make me cry? Don't answer that. I don't want to know.)

Man, Helen is off the deep end. AND THE REFORMER CLUB! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. Man, Helen must REALLY hate being Victorian again. Leave it to the boys to prefer it. Oh, and he's being a JERK. I hate him. I HATE HIM SO MUCH. I hope he dies in a fire.

I LOVE THIS SHOW SO MUCH YOU GUYS! HELEN AND STREET KIDS! AND THEN WHITECHAPEL! *twirls*

OMG, JAMES! *hearts him so much* OMG, HELEN! I HAVE NO WORDS.

OH GOD, HERE WE GO! When she's not looking at him? OH, GOD, HELEN! I really love that, pre-them knowing about the Energy Being, John still goes in and out of possession.

SHE IS BEING THE KEEPER OF DEATH! SORT OF! I DON'T EVEN CARE! TIMELINE HOPSCOTCH FOR EVERYONE! I love the Spring-Heeled Jack!

THEY ARE BEING DETECTIVES! I LOVE IT!

HELEN! NO KILLING CHILDREN!

I loved James and Blonde!Helen seeing Adam and Helen fighting from the roof! This show is not often subtle in its writing for things like that, and EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! And really, Adam killing Imogen is the only way that could have ended, but I like that ADAM IS DISINTEGRATED AND DEAD! ON SCREEN! (Even though next week, I am sure the timeline will have changed and whatever, but I DON'T CARE BECAUSE ADAM IS DEAD!)

And then Helen and James found her! AND THEN ADAM HAD HIS PSYCHOTIC BREAK! Which...I DON'T EVEN CARE!

BECAUSE! HELEN AND JAMES ON THE ROOF! I MAY NEVER RECOVER FROM THIS EPISODE! I WROTE THIS FIC YOU GUYS! SORT OF! AND IT DIDN'T GET JOSSED AS MUCH AS I THOUGHT! EVERYTHING IS BEAUTIFUL AND NOTHING HURTS!

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

I don't know if I've ever used so many CAPs in my life. I'll have a real review when I calm down enough to re-watch it. Welcome back, show!

I was watching the ep last night thinking, "KATE IS GOING TO ***DIE*** WHEN SHE SEES THIS." So your reaction was everything I could have hoped for. :D

[grav-ity.livejournal.com]

It took me nearly an hour and a half to watch it, because I had to keep stopping to RESUSCITATE MYSELF!

[karma-aster.livejournal.com]

Oh no, this is a perfectly lovely review and you're exceedingly adorable in your intense levels of GLEEEEEEEE.

And it was an awesome episode. Also, is it just me, or did James kinda really dig on 21st Century take-no-prisoners Helen?

[grav-ity.livejournal.com]

EVERYONE DIGS 21ST CENTURY HELEN!

OR MAYBE THAT'S JUST ME!~

I DON'T KNOW!

[amenirdis.livejournal.com]

Oh very cool! And James, my bunny! And John, my evil bunny trying so hard not to kill her!

[grav-ity.livejournal.com]

EVERYTHING IS BEAUTIFUL AND NOTHING HURTS!

(And I am going to hold on to that feeling and try not to worry about next week.)

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

What was the date of Gregory's disappearance before? 1896?

I didn't read past!Helen & James as dating in this.

I doubt they're building the machine to freeze Ashley. Though I did think that too. But Ashley was conceived back before/during the Ripper murders.

[grav-ity.livejournal.com]

But Ashley was conceived back before/during the Ripper murders.

That's what I thought, but it wouldn't be the first time they've screwed the timeline, so...yeah.

I think Gregory's original DoD was 1892, but I might just be making that up.

They're not dating. I was being facetious. But they are...something!

[grav-ity.livejournal.com]

Yes, EVERYTHING! :)

[penknife.livejournal.com]

I'm so happy! Out of the Blue and Into the Black were totally not my beautiful show, but this really worked for me. And the "Jealousy? For whom?" line just about killed me. And James is so fabulous in this.

[grav-ity.livejournal.com]

And the "Jealousy? For whom?" line just about killed me.

AND HOW!

I get to drive for an hour and a bit later, and I imagine I will be ALL FLAILY AND EXCITED. :)

[querulouspeg.livejournal.com]

Easily the most amusing epsiode reaction post I have read; all of it really but especially 'SKULLS OF CONTINUITY' - *pets you*

[grav-ity.livejournal.com]

As soon as she picked it up, I was all "OMG! IT'S THE SKULL FROM THE PILOT!" and then IT WAS THE SKULL FROM THE PILOT! *pets her show*

[querulouspeg.livejournal.com]

The 'Alas, poor Yorrick, I knew him well' Skull.....do you think of that when you watch Sanctuary For All? It must be intentional surely, but none the less awesome for it.

[grav-ity.livejournal.com]

Yes, that skull. ;) And it was definitely intentional. I think it's also in the credits, but I don't know if it's in the short version.

[querulouspeg.livejournal.com]

I might rename my LJ in homage....*looks for nice header image*

[grav-ity.livejournal.com]

HEE!

[samjohnsson.livejournal.com]

Skulls for continuity, huh?

I am still all \o/ that James told her to take the long road home. I think this josses maybe three scenes in the Keeper of Death saga, past the first?

[grav-ity.livejournal.com]

Well, it for sure screws up "Hazy Shade of Winter", and it shifts events around in everything up to "The Keeper of Death", but it leaves me "Elderly Woman", which is all I really ask, and also "To The Letter", which MAKES ME HAPPY. ;)

I may write more, now that I am not rendered heart-broken by the premiere...there were a couple things I didn't get to.

[colej55.livejournal.com]

I adore your posts on this episode (even if I am reading them backwards from chronological order).

James is REALLY PRETTY and pronounces iodine in the way that makes me yell "SAY HIMALAYAS!" at the screen, so I don't care. *sporfle* You crack me up! However, I felt the same way.

Keep blogging, please! :)

[grav-ity.livejournal.com]

I don't plan to any time soon!

(I actually yell "SAY HIMALAYAS AGAIN!" at James a lot. It's possible I have some kind of disorder. I imagine it is related to the one that causes me to emit high pitched noises every time Declan is onscreen, and to hyperventilate anytime it looks like someone is thinking the word "five".)

[midwifeonboard.livejournal.com]

LOL. <3

[grav-ity.livejournal.com]

I WAS VERY PLEASED AND EXCITED AND ALSO THERE WERE PEANUT BUTTER CUPS! ;)
