Sanctuary Pimp Post
Nov. 24th, 2008 08:34 pmI've fallen very much in love with Sanctuary and while usually I'm the last to jump on a bandwagon, not many people are watching Sanctuary, so I'm pimping it out a bit because it a great little show and more people should be watching it.
How I think to describe it is a mixture of Torchwood, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (the graphic novel, not the movie) and Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends with a slight hint of Gilmore Girls and Heroes.
Basically, it's about a monster rescuing and hunting team, consisting of doctor, leader and all round awesome Helen Magnus (who has fast become one of my favourite characters on television) her more trigger-happy field-agent daughter Ashley (it's those two who give the show the its slight Gilmore Girls feel), Henry the snarky tech-guy, the big hairy humanoid butler who is quite possibly Big Foot and the n00b forensic psychiatrist Will Zimmerman. They all run around with guns either saving 'abnormals' from the world or the world from abnormals and doing all this from their base, a gigantic mansion known as 'The Sanctuary' which functions as an abnormal refuge, prison, research centre and medical facility.
( Shall we begin? )
