Oh, Walter Bishop, you break my heart. And totally freak me out with your... um... home remedies.
I already know what I'm gonna call her. Got a name all picked out...

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
I am loving Lincoln Lee! I hope he doesn't fade into the background when Peter comes back.

I want Lee to meet up with his counterpart. They have both been awesome in very different ways.

I just rewatched "Neither Here Nor There" (because I can and because I still can't watch "One Night In October" grrr). So, the original recipe shape-shifters answered to Walternate, but were designed by Bell, right? I'm not entirely sure where that thought is taking me, but I do wonder if we'll find that Bell is alive and well in this timeline. I also wonder if we'll meet an alt-Nina.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Hey, he killed off Merle too.
That's part of Tim's magic to me--I didn't like Merle until his very last episode, where Tim made him sympathetic and then slaughtered him.

So, did I get that right? I was kinda distracted during Sanctuary. Did Magnus pull a Harkness and is she living her life in parallel?

Seems to be the implication. So as of next episode we're going to have a Helen Magnus with 284 years of badassery under her belt instead of 161.

Because I'm visiting mom and am DVR-less I missed the first few minutes of Sanctuary. Exactly how did Magnus get back to 18-whatever?

Matt,
right? I cannot even imagine being in seclusion for that long. Trying to stay out of people's way. I guess Magnus could probably travel pretty easily to any European country and to the US soon enough. She also probably could get to the Caribbean area before too long.
I would be fucked to be in the 1800s, but Magnus could get by with her ingenuity and some starting $$ from Watson.

She's a medical doctor who's seen her knowledge of modern medicine evolve over the entire span of time from the era she's returned to through the present day; I doubt she'd need seed money from Watson. As of 1888, she can probably perform surgery with far greater chances of success and full recovery than anyone else alive even using the available 19th century tools.
