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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

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.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Finally got to see One Night In October! Now I want a poster like [link] but with a still of Walter listening to Mozart. I love the way they throw these references in.

So this Olivia killed her stepfather! Wow! I think even Fauxlivia thinks Olivia is pretty badass after that revelation. So the difference leading up to that was not meeting Peter in the tulip field, which means little Olivia didn't inadvertently clue Walternate in on the blueverse. I wonder how he figured it out.
Fauxlivia is back to her cocky old self with shirtless Frank at home. And Charlie married BugGirl! Ha!
The way they are handling the scenes with actors acting opposite themselves is impressive so far. It's not just a bunch of fixed camera or over shoulder shots. It still feels as active as the show usually does. I hope that's not killing their shooting schedule and that they can keep it up.

Matt,
my point was that she needed to get out of the country ASAP. so she'd need $$ to get some place out of people's way and then after that, she could likely maintain.
I doubt she'd want to use her medical knowledge though, she'd be altering time. She probably really would need to be in a relatively isolated environment.

While I'm not particularly eager to see Emile Ullerup back on the show, I'd love it if Magnus spends the intervening century working out a fiendishly intricate plan to save Ashley while making events appear to transpire as they did at the beginning of Season 2.

well, bah! Terra Nova was pre-empted by baseball. Apologies to baseball fans, but I'd have preferred velociraptors.
