Did anyone else think that this episode was amazing?? I nearly fainted - they actually mentioned Emma! There was real dramatic emotion and DEPTH! Its what I've wanted to see from this show all along!!! My favorite scene was when Adam first appeared to Shalimar, especially that bit of dialogue where Adam talked about when he found Shalimar: "You thought I was like the others...[shows her the scars] You lashed out at me.." GREAT little bit of backstory, and really emotional. I also liked that scene where Shal was talking to Adam at that scientist's place, and she basically asked the question "Am I me, or who Genomex programmed me to be?" THAT WAS KILLER WRITING. We saw Shalimar's vulnerability again, saw that she carries self-doubt and fear, and doesn't know who to trust. She's not even sure that she can really trust Adam. Which brings me to my other favorite part at the end...She was angry with Adam, and her tone in that last scene was very bitter. Interesting twist. And just what did she mean when she said "I'm not ready to leave [the team], at least not yet." Has she really been thinking about leaving all of that behind? Poor Shal: the possibility of a normal life has been dangled in front of her yet again... She was made to face the question "what do I really want?" Is it a normal life that she really wants? That's the real question isn't it? Brilliant writing, that. One thing that bothered me: WHY THE HELL WAS SHE FALLING FOR THAT SCIENTIST?? AND WHY IN THE NAME OF GOD DID SHE KISS HIM?? SHE'S SUPPOSED TO KISS BRENNAN!!! I wanted to smack her for that. Brennan, the love of her life, is right there in front of her, and she looks right past him...

LMAO i htink it's harder for her to kiss Brennan casue she has known him ofr so long and respects and loves him so its harder I think to kiss BRennan than some guy she jsut met and likes.
THe ep was jsut fantastic they are now using the potential they have had all along. "They are becoming more of an action drama show" said by Cleo aka slidershal. I agree with taht and they should use that more often it makes it more believeable and better depth in all of it. It was a great ep for Shalimar making her ask questions that are bugging her and major kudos for mentioning Emma now THAT was continuity. The emotion was just so real.
Lexa I think deserves points for lying to the Dominion to protect her team. She's warmed up alot you can jsut tell she protected Shalimar from being killed by the Dominion. I think she knows right form wrong with the team and the Dominion. I think this was jsut a great in depth ep

This was a great Shalimar episode. The character is being tested, and also there was a lot of emotion this time, what with Adam coming back and her facing the temptation of leaving MX again [first time was in "Fool For Love"]. I really liked it. At the end Shal was just...broken. Amazing character writing. THE SHOW IS FINALLY USING IT'S POTENTIAL!!! ;D

i wouldnt worry about Shalimar/Victoria leaving anytime soon she's not the type of person to go and leave....I wonder if Shalimar will leave at the end of the season to ya know think aobut things and then come back etc....that might be the surprise???

It would be cool, if that really is what this episode was meant to set up. Whatever the surprise at the end of the season is, the way Vicky talked about it makes me think that it has to do directly with Shalimar. Maybe that is how they are going to "shake things up". Shalimar is going to bail. Then she would come back for season 4.
Oh and Vicky/Shal ain't going anywhere...the producers aren't dumb enough to let that cash cow [excuse the "cow"] go anywhere. She's too valuable. Hee hee ;D
As proven AGAIN with this ep, Shalimar's greatest strength, love, is also her greatest weakness. We'll have to see what happens...

Nope, Vicky isn't going anywhere. But this episode has set up some really big possibilities for Shalimar, and I can't WAIT to see what happens, if anything, because of it.

I'm totally trippin on the possibilities for Shalimar now. I've wanted some kind of dramatic, like TRULY dramatic, arc for the character for a long time. I just hope that it gets followed through...
