the super Ashley triplets pounding on the door like kids throwing a temper tantrum just cracked me up. sorta took me out of the moment and made me snicker.
so how did the 4th super Ashley kid sense the invisible girl? telepathy? heightened sense of smell/hearing? cosmis link between abnormals? her death was just not that impactful to me.
Helen's conversation with the bigfoot guy... I like that the person she seems to feel closest to, the person she connects best with is bigfoot. her "compromise is for the weak" speech and then it ending with the "i've been wrong all along" i dont entirely see what her thinking is here. What compromise has she been struggling against that she's decided to give in to now? I feel like up until now, she's been struggling FOR compromise, disabling Ashley without killing her. saving Ashley AND saving the Sanctuary - and she is finally resolving herself to the fact that she cant compromise and must instead pick a side. Kill Ashley and save the Sanctuary.
Helen & Will on the tower top (i love this set, I hope they continue to use it as their quiet conversation setting) I love the historic references. they are so much more poetic than modernity. Why does Helen think she has to be the one to kill Ashley? She hesitates time and time again during the fight when confronted with shooting that thing at Ashley. But that last conversation. GAH! such a heartbreaker! her showing that kind of vulnerability "Ashley I'm afriad" oh it KILLED me! and then the look and the "Mom" and then her sacrificing herself by teleporting with the EM shield up and Helen just sitting in the floor sobbing. I feel like I've been punched in the stomach.
