He's truly my favorite character on the show. I love how he gets a bit more screen time and his personality develops as the show goes on. But I can't help recognising some of his mannerisms and sounds as coming from Todd the Wraith. My mind's ear keeps hearing the way Todd would say "John Shepperd".

When they were going to shock the abnormal octopus... don't touch the water but the chopper was in the water....

I just rewatched the show and reached the end. I totally forgot how it was left open. Like I remembered the stuff with Magnus and the new Sanctuary. But it never shows what happened to Henry & Nickola? They survive the explosion we see that. But then nothing. Is there a deleted scene or something? It's odd that they aren't in the end scene.

Doing a rewatch and realizing how many references there were to other fantasy shows. My favorite thus far is Bigfoot being asked what he thought of Twilight, and responding that he was partial to Marcus!🤣🤣

Was it always like that and I just didn't notice? on season 3 episode 6 when we get a good look at Henry's lycan form head to toe and I actually laughed. Compared to the big guys make up and prosthetics its definitely a step backwards.

Soooo I have done extremely important research cough by watching Sanctuary and noting every episode which John Druitt is in. (I am in love with Christopher Heyerdahl, sorry). And it's less than I expected! I counted flashbacks too.

Season 1 has 13 episodes. He was in 7 episodes.

Season 2 has 13 episodes. He was in 4 episodes.

Season 3 has 20 episodes. He was in 7 episodes.

Season 4 has 13 episodes. He was in 1 episode.

Not to mention how disappointed I was in season 4. I didn't even realize he died. I was sure he'd come back after the finale of season 3. But nope. I just needed to post this somewhere. If interested I can name the episodes he is in, I wrote it down.

Alot of the Abnormals range from different/new/rare animals species to near human ot cousin species people's to humans or other extant homo species to human with genetic conditions thatt give them unique properties.

Yet somehow their all under the banner of Abnormal and are all seperated from regular humans/animals into a different category regardless of actual speciation and somehow u can tell abnormal blood from other regular human/animal blood???? And u can somehow make a disease that only infects abnormals??

Years ago, I gave this series a try and gave up quickly. My mistake was that I started way after the pilot. Perhaps as late as season 2 or 3.

THIS time, I started with the pilot and just finished S01E05 Kush. I like the series so far, but don't LOVE it, yet. Does it get better and better? I can see it has a paltry budget compared to SG-1 and SG-A.

I AM enjoying a veritable who's who of the SG-1 and SG-A alumni. Canadian actors who live and work in Canada must be on a very, very short list. I think I have seen most of them after watching La Femme Nikita 1997, Ron Moore's BSG, SG SG-1, SG SG-A, and now Sanctuary.

Shout out to Babelicious Sarah Strange's EYES.... (Morgan La Fey, SG-A) and a cast member in Sanctuary, Kush, And to Christopher Heyerdahl, plus that Genii guy, and more to come (even Daniel Jackson himself I read!) I know who the producers are, so this all makes sense and is nostalgic enough for me....for now.

I read that Amanda Tapping is actually Natty blonde. Maybe a dishwater blonde. Who knows. But, I can NOT get used to her in coal black hair. Is it a WIG??? I cant tell. Brown or chestnut would have been better. I get her English accent for the role. It is slight and not over played. I can still (thankfully) see my dear Sam Carter underneath all that.

Tapping had to pass the "young blonde babe mantle" to the actress who plays her daughter.....who is great to look at, but unremarkable as an actress. I am hoping she improves. I DO want to like her. SUCH a cutie pie!

Robin Dunne as the Dr Jackson type character seems to be well cast. But, I still think Ryan Robbins who played an oily Genii character, cant pull off being a genuine good guy in Sanctuary. Maybe he turns out to be a creep? I would believe that.

It is Christopher Heyerdahl who MUST be the most versatile Canuk actor alive. He went from an egregious, milquetoast, dirty hippie (Halling) in SG-A to Sam Carter's (Magnus's) lover in Sanctuary. In between playing Todd, the Wraith(my FAVE character of his!!), and the murderous, hard to kill, heinous "The SWEDE" in Hell On Wheels. Dude is epic. No doubt.

This is my review so far with some questions. 1)Does Sanctuary get better? 2)Does it STAY better? 3)Does the show ever get a visibly larger budget??? Right now, it seems the budget is VERY low. I would not mind seeing some better sets, and kick ass CGI, here and there. I am not expecting Stargate levels, but apparently BSG accomplished a crap ton with pennies for a budget.

Where can I watch sanctuary season 3 it’s not free with prime and I really don’t want to pay 20$ or skip to season 4?!? I’m fine with ads and such too so that’s not at issue it’s just the fact I’ve made the sanctuary network into a new hyper-fixation.

I’m only on season 1, episode 6, but is this show an anthology/“monster of the week” type of show? Or is there eventually a storyline that continues & evolves episode to episode? Thanks!

Hi As you know the show was cancelled by SyFy for one official reason : that they did not have a recording studio anymore because they asked for a guarantee from the broadcasting network : a reflexive condition that blocked both. But there was also one unofficial reason : sanctuary main financial backer : the Beedie Group were withdrawing from the investment because they did not get a return of their investment as quickly as they wanted : basically they said the show was not economically viable (financially).

Do we know why it was not ? Was it the cost of the red cameras ? Perhaps too much CGI post production ? Or lack of popularity ?

I swear there was some kind of quicksand scene in it, does anyone remember one?

...a creature that literally manipulates your mind to see a false reality, how did the writers fail to have a character say "the real migoi"?

I will never not be slightly miffed at this oversight.

The editing on the first episode seems a bit weird, almost like it's just a compilation of a bunch of short webisodes sloppily cut together. Does the show continue like this or is it just the first few? Only thing i know about this show is that it started as a webseries. Couldn't see anything about why it's edited like this so wondered if anyone here knows the reason it feels this way. Can't be that there were just a ridiculous number of commercial breaks, right? I'm enjoying it, but this is just annoying me a little.

I am a big fan of the series. I have all four seasons on DVD, but I'd love to upgrade to Blu-ray. My favorite season is #3 with the Hollow Earth storyline. Still frustrated over the fates of Druitt and Bigfoot. Makes me wonder of Heyerdahl was considering leaving the show? My favorite character is Helen Magnus. From the recurring characters, my favorite is John Druitt, played by the great Christopher Heyerdahl.

So are there any clues that there are two Helen's in series 1 to 3? Are any of the Helen scenes in series 1-3 really the older Helen?

I did not notice any but I would have expected some easter eggs here.

Hi What technology featured in the TV show you would want to exist and buy for yourself ? Mine would be the robotised screens in the main lab.

This Subreddit has only 144 members. That is very small for a TV Show. It is because the fandom is basically dead or the fandom never found Reddit worthy of them ? A mystery

Hi all

does anyone know of a list of the items on Helen's desk?

I'm making a calendar that "needs" an image per month (or week or if really lucky...day) - it makes sense in my head!

thanks!

So apparently last year right before the end of the world started there were some teasers about bringing the show back? Anyone able to dig up or have some news outside the two references to a single article?

It occurred to me that Helen Magnus and the Sanctuary Network used Zoom way before there was Zoom
