Let Me Count the Ways...

[lavenderseaslug]

I loved this episode, in list format (we'll see if it actually works. I might forget I'm listing things halfway through) I'm not even sure that my list makes sense. BUT I DON'T CARE. This is what it is.

1. "Abigail Fernley" is my new codename. JUST SO YOU KNOW.

No, "Firewall" was pretty amazing. BUT I LOVED THIS EPISODE SO MUCH. I think it had a lot to do with the Amanda voice. And her punching people. SO SO GOOD.

Okay, okay, I told myself I would not comment on everything you listed because the comment wouldn't have enough room, so this is my attempt to compress -- just assume I agree 100% with whatever I don't mention (and by the way, is it really bad that I've started to look forward to your post-episode entries?):

1. THAT NAME SHOULD NOT BE AS SEXY AS I THINK IT IS RIGHT NOW.
6. Okay, I honestly think the only thing worse than the new music was no opening credits at all. That's one of the trends of modern TV (nothing but a 5 second opening + the show name) that I ABSOLUTELY DESPISE above all else, and it seriously makes me want to cry that Sanctuary has caved to it. I'm hoping it was just a one-week thing because they wanted to fit more episode in, but I doubt it. I thought the fact that they had an opening theme was AWESOME, and it told us so much about the show (plus all the easter eggs in it <3), and it was basically perfect for what the show was

Um, I love when people look forward to my post-episode entries. It is a good ego-boost!

I am trying to find a reason to use Abigail Fernley somewhere. Probably if I ever go to bars and need to fakename somebody.

I love your comments to my posts, so. ANY flail is good flail.

You are such a good hostess!

Okay, if the whole season is gonna be like this? I AM PREMATURELY BLOWN AWAY

I AM WITH YOU. FROM WEEK TO WEEK I JUST CANNOT WAIT.

And that accent. I just loved so much when she said, "Okay, buddy?" LOVED IT SO MUCH.

P.S. I sent out all-caps texts of excitement to people when I saw Tesla was going to be next week. CANNOT WAIT FOR THE SASS!

I am really trying to figure out a way to get that little sound bite on my phone. I just keep replaying that moment. And the punching in the face.

SUCH A GOOD EPISODE. Already can't wait for Nikola next week. And everything else that will happen next week.

I loved reading this, and I agree with ALL your thoughts, but probably my favorite part is Kate nicknaming Henry "Hank." Lovelovelove it.

[lavenderseaslug]

I try to keep my Sanctuary reviews fresh. Plus I loved this episode so much I couldn't even make a pretense at coherency.

The "Hank" thing was great. I know she's said it before, and I always like it, but I really liked it this episode.

I got actual opening credits on the iTunes download. Huh.

I loved Amanda's real voice, but noticed that it kind of sounded like a fake American accent done by a British actor who didn't try hard enough at vocal school. So either it was because I'd been listening to her do Magnus for an hour and change before that (last night was a Sanctuary marathon night, A+) or she knew what she was doing with the accent.

Actually shouted "WALTER" at the computer. My neighbors must think I'm nuts.

Did not hate Kate this episode.

[lavenderseaslug]

Hmm. It's not worth it to download the iTunes version because I don't care about the credits.

I'm going to go ahead and give her the awesomeness factor. I think she knew what she was doing. (Also, marathon night! Best ever.)

Well, if your neighbors think you're nuts, I think you're awesome, so.

Neither did I! This episode made me actually love her a little.
