fembuckBest trailer/promo pilot for Warehouse 12 (a.k.a. The Fantastic Adventures of Ms. Helena G. Wells) ever!
Download: 3...2...1
That H.G. Wells spin-off cannot come fast enough for me. Jaime Murray is glorious. Seeing her as 19th Century Helena, naughty, glowing, in her element, charming and good with just a hint of danger was ... aces!. ACES!
Things H.G. Wells has done:
1. H.G. Wells has single-handedly given me a necklace clutching fetish!
2. H.G. Wells' sleuthing outfit has single-handedly given me a fetish for female sleuthing outfits. Gotta love that vest. Hey, hey, H.G., can I Ophelia tetons?
3. H.G. Wells' bun-of-justice has given my shivers. I love her long, luxurious, flowing locks of raven hair, but the bun-of-justice was very nice, very nice indeed.
Pete: So, you built a rocket ... in 1892 ...
Helena: You yourself have used my time machine, but a tube that shoots straight up into the air strains credulity?
4. H.G. Wells has proven that it is possible to make the word 'credulity' sexy.
Random Observations
I heart Claudia for stanning so hard for H.G. It was nice having H.G. around, Claudia. It really was.
Bronzed Helena was fucking terrifying! I hope I never have to see that again. Not only is it the usual amount of awful just thinking about being bronzed for that long, but the visual was also fucking terrifying!
As much as I love H.G., Pete riffing on her produced some of his best material. Those two are fun when they're cat-fighting.
Pete: Whoa, check it out. Astounding Tales. I didn't take Jack as an Astounding Tales kind of guy...
H.G.: One of my short-stories is in there. Imagine the royalties.
Pete: Yes, just what the world needs. A rich homicidal maniac. You could buy yourself a secret island liar and hire somebody to twirl your mustache.
Ouch. But LOL
Kudos to Jaime for even managing to sneak a little girl-girl action into the scenes in the 1890s. When Helena was all, "actually he gets them from me" to the girl asking where her brother gets his ideas from, Helena was totally playing with the woman's necklace/lace bow thingie. What a flirty McFlirtster she is!
I never need to see Jack and Rebecca again. Damn, show. They're awful. The episode about them was only a hit because it was Joanne and Eddie dressed up like they were from the 50s and it was about a cool freakin time-machine! Never show these two again. Awful.
The scene that followed continued on from the sneak peek was nice for Pete/Myka interaction, and Myka just turning H.G. off (while rude) was a fun visual ... but, I still like my version better.
*Pete licks nacho cheese off the Farnsworth*
Myka: Pete!
Pete: What? I didn't want to waste any.
LOL! Oh, Myka. The indignant tone of voice and prolonged stare were mint. Oh, Joanne, never change.
"I should never have let that glint of madness in your eyes attract me. It always becomes a lovers least attractive trait." BWAH FOREVER!
I love you writers. I'm sure Myka was thinking the same thing as she watched the Regents drag you away in cuffs, H.G.... only she was less smiley and giggly about it. I liked how the Helena/Crowley romance sort of mirrored by Helena/Myka romance what with the hint of madness, deception, trying to destroy a massive amount of people thing ... only Helena/Myka is what it looks like with real feelings. Instead of karate chops, zingers and rocket launches, Myka and Helena were all tentative, awkward longing, regret, sadness, intimacy and hope for future reconciliation.
The only thing that matters
These two. I can't even.
I love that within 10 seconds of materializing H.G. was hitting on Myka and Myka was looking like she wanted it real bad. "You're right, Myka. I do know what this is," cause she knows you so well, right Helena? And by knows you well, I mean used to go down on you regularly *wink wink*.
"I'm quite glad to see you here, Myka." Heh. I bet you are H.G, why don't you just slide on closer!
I love how Myka looked intrigued by Helena sliding closer and a bit mortified, like, "OMG, don't tell them I've been having secret live changing meetings with your consciousness. This is like when you told them I was a biter all over again. Boundaries, Helena. There is such a thing as sharing too much!"
H.G.: Daniel. I am responsible. But please, you have to listen to me. We've all lost loved ones unfairly. I lost someone I loved too. For me it was my daughter. I was so angry and in such pain, I almost hurt a great many people. I didn't care. Like you. But it won't make you feel any better, and it doesn't break our loved ones back.
Unbreak my heart, Jaime! So good, she's so good. Yes Myka, Helena is subtextually talking to you, so pay attention okay?!
The fine edge that Myka was walking for the majority of the episode "trying to be there for Pete" while also "trying to support Helena without giving Helena the impression that things are magically better with them". She was so quiet and subdued during the scenes with Pete and Helena. It was tearing her apart!
*stand up and applauds Jaime and Joanne* cause those ladies worked that last scene with Myka and Helena, it was like they were going out to sea and wouldn't see a woman let alone touch one for months. They gave that scene all they had, they hit their marks hard, they didn't let up, and the audience felt the sensual burn.
HG: You should feel quite proud right now.
Myka: Why's that.
HG: Three teams of agents over more than a century have dedicated themselves to this case, but you and Pete are the ones who succeeded.
Myka: With your help.
HG: We did make a good team, didn't we?
Myka: We did. And then you ... I just wish you would have realized that sooner.
*Jaime does that open mouth silent gasp thing that sounds stupid when described but is ridiculously sexy and woobiful in action*
HG: So do I.
That wasn't even subtextual. That was a straight up ex-girlfriends chat. Nobody was frontin' with any of that. Everything! Just everything about this! So intense and ... and yearning (everything surround this line, "We did. And then you ... I just wish you would have realized that sooner" was perfection).
But Mostly Helena's face. Sometimes Myka's face, but mostly Helena's face. The sad music of love gone wrong (or is it ... maybe just astray?) made me feel like I was watching the CW, but still that the type of music they play for scenes that are clearly romantic in nature. But still ... mostly Helena's face!
I know that in part this episode was about people coming to understandings in regards to Helena: Artie and Claudia (mostly Claudia) missing H.G. but accepting the loss of her as a consequence of her actions. Pete coming to a detente/understanding with H.G, and Pete and Myka finally talking through his issues with her leaving at the end of season 2. And of course, Myka forgiving Helena but not forgetting, and Helena getting forgiveness but not magically being freed of from facing the consequences of her actions. I get it, I do. Myka needed to forgive herself and start to move on.
BUT ... but ... Jaime was working the wooby so hard in that scene. She looked so scared before she went back into that magic holo-ball and Myka just didn't seem torn enough. I legit couldn't believe she was laughing 5 seconds after that. If Helena hadn't looked so broken, maybe I could buy it, but Jaime was hitting the wobby button like a pro and Myka's reaction seemed almost cold. Damn, son. When Myka Berin freezes you out it don't matter if you're going back to a disembodied state of limbo, Pete's got hats to wear and she's got laughing to do!
But other than that hiccup, that last scene between them was kind of perfect.
Can you feel the love?

I know Helena is going to show up again because of the Joanne's ass-Jaime's head pic, but I miss Helena already! I want to believe we're in for a few more Helena episodes, but I'm so scared we won't see her again for a while. Come back, Helena. We want you to tell us stories about your fabulous adventures in sleuthing and pyrotechnics! We do not forsake you, so come back to us!

Date: 2011-08-09 05:38 am (UTC)That H.G. Wells spin-off cannot come fast enough for me.
Seriously, if that wasn't a pilot test, I don't know what was. And the fifteen minutes was MOUNTAINS better than the five minutes I saw of the godawful Poe, which could also be described as '101 ways to make Tabrett Bethell unsexy'! HG was like a combination of Captain Jack, Doctor Who and Sherlock Holmes all rolled into one sexy vest wearing package!
Bronzed Helena was fucking terrifying!
We know Helena volunteered to be bronzed but they keep referring to her doing 'something terrible' both by Artie and now boring 1962 Agents. I wish TPTB would either reveal it or make up their minds as to whether Helena was 'evil' before she was bronzed or it was the bronzing that made her 'evil'.
I never need to see Jack and Rebecca again.
Seriously. With only 44 minutes of episode, I kept looking at my watch wondering why are we wasting precious air time on *these* two!
I love that within 10 seconds of materializing H.G. was hitting on Myka and Myka was looking like she wanted it real bad.
YES!! And I loved that it was Myka who suggested they bring Helena in on the case.. without consulting Pete beforehand. She tries not to show it but Myka wants HG back and BAD!
I want to believe we're in for a few more Helena episodes, but I'm so scared we won't see her again for a while.
I almost don't want to know when she's coming back because, honestly, last week's episode totally felt like filler and I'm not sure I can handle the week's in between knowing when HG returns!!
Oh yeah, and your version of what happened during 'that scene' was soo much better!

Date: 2011-08-09 06:04 am (UTC)It screamed test pilot, and it screamed it well. I was utterly charmed by Warehouse 12.
the godawful Poe, which could also be described as '101 ways to make Tabrett Bethell unsexy'!
LOL! I know. It was a travesty what they did to Tab. The whole show was a travesty, but what they did to our glorious Tab was especially horrifying.
HG was like a combination of Captain Jack, Doctor Who and Sherlock Holmes all rolled into one sexy vest wearing package!
Yeah, I'll be having sweet dreams tonight. And that vest, and what that vest highlighted when she walked ... unf!
but they keep referring to her doing 'something terrible' both by Artie and now boring 1962 Agents.
I don't think she actually did something horrible, the agents just didn't know she voluneteered to be brozed. I don't think Artie knew that until Helena told Myka. I think it's just mostly a case of people assuming she did something horrible (especially with the 1962 agents).
From what H.G. has said there was some kind of accident that got someone killed (Wooley?), and after that she asked to be bronzed because she was afraid of what she would do, but it was more about what she was afraid of doing as opposed to having actually done something.
I kept looking at my watch wondering why are we wasting precious air time on *these* two!
*sigh* So true. It's like I know they needed some screen time to bridge the gap between 1892 and 2011, but they didn't need THAT much screen time. They only needed two scenes, the one where they met Daniel, and then the one where they shot at the trumpet. All of the filler, romance crap with them was completely unnecessary (as were the shots of them repeatedly trying to get the job done).
She tries not to show it but Myka wants HG back and BAD!
Joanne's body language in the scenes this season with H.G. is amazing. Myka reveals everything about how she feels about Helena with the way she carries herself (and the way she looks at her). Everything about her conveys Myka's longing.
And Jaime is just as good (she blew me away in that last between them - actually she blew me away all episode. She conveyed many different sides of Helena and two very different Helena's in tonight's episode and she was riveting throughout. The woman is gorgeous, but she's also a very fine actress).
I'm not sure I can handle the week's in between knowing when HG returns!!
This is my fear too. I've been counting down to this episode, and my I'm just going to be tapping my foot waiting for the next H.G. appearance. I like the show well enough (and my new girl-crush on Joanne Kelly is helping with that), but H.G. and Myka/H.G. is what I love the most.
