A better offering by WH13. The episode wasn't perfect, but it was better than what we've gotten lately. Very cool to see Anthony Stewart Head, who I haven't seen in anything since Buffy The Vampire Slayer went off the air. Sheesh. How long ago was that? As for the episode, Wouldn't the best course of action have been to start banging on the bell before touching the medallion instead of trying to "time it" as to when the Smoke Monster would attack after the fact? Also, I thought that anyone that touches an artifact without those Purple Gloves was prone to being infected by it, which the Countess clearly was not.
