So the first thing Will is going to do in a time of crisis, is grow a mullet. Duly noted.

As the scene fades in we see Magnus confused and on the floor in the Sanctuary. She wanders around for a bit and we get to see some decent CG of the decimated area around her. She arms herself and sets out to find out what is going on in an opening which made me whine to my friend, “But I have already seen the second Resident Evil movie.” Next we are shown a non-zombie abnormal with that Alien-esque second mouth thing going.

We do get treated with a horribly awkward forced shower scene with Amanda Tapping. Not what the fanboys were envisioning at all.  We are also treated with Will’s mullet.

Mullets irk me.

It was almost as distracting as Will trying to look badass but instead portraying constipated. The whole episode, I just wanted someone to lead him to a bathroom and hand him a laxative and a book. I didn’t even notice the dead eye contacts because of that horrible mullet. My friend tried to discount it as lack of salons and product, but mullets don’t just happen. It might have been some Metal Gear Solid homage or something, but it was PAINFUL.

Mullet rant aside, I enjoyed the episode even though very little happened in relation to the main story. I was annoyed at the line about Will and Kate having a kid, because they have absolutely NO chemistry. Well, that and his take on badass is a dude with a mullet that looks constipated. I did miss the lack of Henry in this episode, but I understand the folks in charge trying to focus an episode on the leads. It did give Amanda Tapping time to do her thing and remind us why we like her. Unfortunately it also reminded us that/why Robin Dunne was in that crappy Cruel Intentions sequel/prequel/jacked-up-the-storyline mess.
