All right, so now that I'm no longer madly writing (no longer writing quite as madly as I was) I have time to get back on the Sanctuary bus.
I'm actually finding that the rewatches of 'previously on Sanctuary' are tearing me up - at least, that final scene between Helen and Ashley. And now the memorial service.
The episode felt a little disjointed, probably because they had to split the storylines between Helen and her search for Ashley and Will as the person continually trying to bring her back to ground, and the Kate-and-the-monster storyline. I think it's more of an in-betweener episode, setting up for future character development and storylines.
I'm liking Kate. All right. After watching later episodes, I've decided that I like her. When I first started watching Sanctuary, I knew I'd need a POV character, except that neither Helen nor Ashley really spoke to me. I suspect that Kate, with her moral ambiguity and her street-smarts and her yes-I-am-but-no-I'm-not inbetween-ness, is my 'in' to Sanctuary fanfic. Now I just have to work out what to write.
And I'd kinda like to write something for her before I start writing Will/Kate smut. Because I have the sinking feeling that Will/Kate is gonna be my writing OTP for Sanctuary.
Question: what was the whole Navajo C-plot about? Other than that Helen left the keepsake they gave her to guide her in dark times as her memorial thing for Ashley. I was watching this while eating lunch and checking my email, so it's more than possible I missed it.
Also: Stargate Actor Bingo! It's Charin as a Navajo woman!

This is a belated review, since I watched this just before the Sanctuary convention at the start of December.
This episode is evil. EEEEVIL. It's all so angsty and poignant and intriguing about John vs Jack the Ripper, and then he goes and scatters his molecules across the EM field (except not) and leaves Helen all alone again.
Interesting question then: how much of Jack The Ripper was John and how much of it was the entity? Is this like the Angel/Angelus duality in Buffy? Do they explore it in later episodes?
I did find the treatment of the African empaths to be rather annoying, though. Dismissive, more than anything else.
