10 - Days of Heaven

[ZionHarris]

Details from Erica's site:

Dr. Alex Reid (Erica Durance), Dr. Maggie Lin (Julia Taylor Ross), and Dr. Dana Kinney (Wendy Crewson) spend the morning hearing celebrated surgeon Thor MacLeod (Currie Graham, DALLAS) talk about his near-death experience. When a fellow fan loses control and nearly dies, Alex finds herself in the hospital alongside Thor in an effort to save the man’s life. But when Thor’s connection to the patient is revealed, Alex can’t help but wonder if the doctor is truly who he appears to be. Meanwhile, Dr. Charlie Harris (Michael Shanks) avoids Thor’s “insights” and tries to bounce an idea off Dr. Shahir Hamza (Huse Madhavji) that could help solve the medical mystery of the patient’s spirit. Feeling less like himself than ever, Dr. Joel Goran (Daniel Gillies) escapes Hope Zion Hospital by immersing himself at the street clinic – only to face a day of bad news and heavy consequences. Plus, Maggie must find the courage to confront Dana on an issue involving her daughter, Molly Kinney (Eliana Jones, HEMLOCK GROVE).

Can't help but get a Professor Lockhart (Harry Potter) feeling about the MacLeod guy.

Various articles mention this episode will end in a cliffhanger...any guesses? My vague guess is that it's Joel-related. But please - anything except Alex revealing to Maggie or Melanda that she's pregnant but doesn't know who the father is!

I was sitting here thinking it odd that no one had commented on the episode yet. Then it occurred to me...it's only Wednesday morning, not Thursday. I think I need more caffeine.

[ZionHarris]

LOL it happens

Clips are up on the CTV site.

Thor is reminding me of Professor Lockhart as well.

Do people really name their kids Thor?

[ZionHarris]

Maybe it's a name he gave himself to feel more powerful or important.

It's a good name if you're a little grey alien

I just did a search on the contact database I'm data steward for at work.  There are approximately 250,000 contacts in it...and 5 had a first name of Thor so...I guess so.

I liked the clips, they have Alex remembering bits of when she was in limbo, does that mean she'll start to get her feelings for Charlie back?

[ZionHarris]

Haven't seen them, having computer/Hola issues. But was thinking that after reading the clip descriptions. Maybe she'll talk to Charlie about what she's remembering.

[ZionHarris]

Hmm...can't decide how I feel about this episode. It was good, but kind of feeling let down a bit. Maybe because the Charlie/Alex talk got interrupted or because we're now on a three-week break

Joel obviously acted out of self-defense...will he be able to prove it? Brad had a history of violence, but the cops seemed to be skeptical about a possible relationship between Joel and Selena. Wonder if we'll see her again. Michael Shanks started/posted a #FREEJOEL trend on Twitter if anyone wants to join I may not like him messing with Alex again but hope he wins this case/battle.

Didn't care for Thor of course...so was he actually trying to experiment on the guy because he was depressive and made an expendable case study, or did he think a NDE would help him with his issue? Also wonder what happened between him and Dawn, didn't quite catch the dialogue between Charlie and Zach. That's three episodes now with no Dawn, miss her.

I'm confused about Molly, Dana's daughter. Dana mentioned having a 10-year old in Season 1, and then we saw her in Nottingham 7, I thought she looked about 15. Now she's in college and is working in the hospital? Feel bad for Maggie, she was right all along.

Hoping Alex and Charlie continue their conversation. Alex remembers something about her father, and then mentioned to Charlie she thought she saw him. Charlie can't tell her much about her father since he didn't see what she did, but there's plenty he can tell her. I can easily see this bringing them together.

Also hoping Dr. Dey follows up with Charlie, even though I fear his treatment methods. Charlie can't keep the ghost thing a secret forever, especially after what happened last episode. But maybe he'll open up to Alex now.

And not a word on the baby situation...one of many loose ends to tie up in the second half!

[ZionHarris]

Looking ahead...

SPOILER: Click to show

The title of the next episode appears to be The Parent Trap. Could be refering to anything but Alex's pregnancy and her telling the father is the first thing that comes to mind. Won't start the thread until the title is confirmed and we have a description.

The Dawn/Charlie backstory just got muddier.

Rewatched the early scene and Charlie said "I watched him (MacLeod) hit on my not-so-loving ex-wife for almost a year." Confused for a few reasons...he recently slept with Dawn. Did he just throw the 'not-so-loving' part in there so no one would suspect there was anything between them, or have his feelings suddenly changed since Dawn let him go? Despite the fact she pulled the plug on him, things have been mostly amicable between them, even before they slept together. Maybe he's not in love with her but he still cares about her. That comment just seemed out of left field.

Also...last season Dawn said that Charlie left her for Alex. No cheating on either side has been officially mentioned, so still wondering what happened.

[Dr K Harris]

Just finished watching and wow what a way to end a mid season episode!

I am loving the fact that this episode was more medical than soapy... I love the fact that Shahir stood up for himself and so did Alex.

Joel wow... I know they had to get him out of the show for a while because of The Originals but what a way to do it!

Wonder how Dana is going to feel when she finds out the truth... she is going to be mortified!!!!!

Joel was a nice jerk this ep. Clearly he was a jerk for sleeping with Selena and saying that Alex's text wasn't important. Obviously, he was nice and charming when looking after Selena although that maybe his thing charm them, get them into bed and as soon as you hit a bump in the road, sleep with someone else. But obviously doesn't deserve to go to jail for punching a guy in self-defence.

Didn't like Thor, but we weren't supposed to. He deliberately experimented on someone to try and prove himself right.

Maybe the "not-so-loving" reference was in reference to the way Dawn reacted to Thor's advances. I don't know what happened between them.

I assume Charlie and Alex will continue their conversation after the break, but yeah, it was far too short.
