Helen Magnus/Amanda Tapping Thunk, Discussion and Appreciation

I like Helen's comments about her house. She's had several things to say in different episodes, but she always makes sure everybody understands the Sanctuary is her house and she makes the rules.

Yes this is a great thread.

Yeah, So we not know when she leaved England for the USA, in 1912... right? that was Titanic's year?
Anyway.... now the question is.... was she having blond or dark hair?
THAT is the question!

lol

I'd love to see more of her past-- and it could be a way to bring back Watson for an episode.


Tesla exhibted at the 1893 Columbian Exposition in Chicago--he may have prevailed upon Magnus to attend.

I'd love to see her in the 1940s--maybe a scene with her in one of those glamor gowns. And the cool hats they wore then. She'd look great.

It would be fun to see her meet a suffragist like Emmeline Pankhurst (I think Helen would still be in England in the 1910s.)

You know what's fun about Magnus, is when you think of someone that doesn't age, you'd think they'd try and do whatever they could to hide in the background. To keep a low profile. Because sooner or later, someone is going to notice that that person isn't getting any older right?

But not Magnus. She's let it drop time and time again that she is attracted to history in the making. She seems to be a bit almost of a magnet for world changing events in fact. She's met presidents and shared drinks with other world leaders. She was at the site of major events like the Titatanic. In fact there's a clipping in the opening credits of the titatnic, and several other major events. According to her, hasn't she helped end wars, and given advice on foriegn policy?

What she hasn't done is explain how she keeps from being noticed. Does she fake her own death? Does she move on and drop out of touch with old contacts that don't know her secret? she has hinted it is difficult, being so long lived, and out living all her friends and contacts, making it hard for her to want to get close to anyone, knowing she'll only watch them grow old and die.

What a wonderful, marvoulous, terrible, burden.

I love her picture with Einstein. She looked awesome!

I would like to know what she did in Second world war :-) If she helped and if she was fighting against Hitler :-)

Another historical person that comes to mind is Marie Curie.

Wasn't she doing her work right about the same time as Helen's early timeline? It would be cool to see a story about Marie and Helen with a photo of Marie getting her first Nobel prize with Helen in the background somewhere.

That brings up the question of who's work really was honored? Marie's? Or Helen's, who chose to stay anonymous due to her longevity?

Could be an interesting story.

Or maybe a story referring to Edith Hinkley Quimby. I could see Helen trying out radiation to cure herself or help some of the abnormals. There any number of women pioneers in math, science and computers that would make interesting stories and/or interactions for Helen and her team. Many people know the men pioneers, but not many know the women, so it would be "new" info for a lot of viewers.

I would like more historical story lines too, not just monsters. Maybe Hitler was the abnormal who got a way and Helen had to help track him down and stop him? Even better yet, maybe she let him loose when he was young. I could see some arrogance of Helen's insisting on abnormal rights for all abnormals, but then this one coming back to haunt her.

Me too that would be cool to see :)

I wonder what she done in WW1 and WW2? that would be cool to see :)

Did she know Emmiline Pankhurst? How did they meet ? etc :)

Spoiler for Next Tuesday

Spoiler:

In the Next Tuesday , Helen told to Will that she was on Titanic.
It would be great to see what did she do there and how they saved her.

Wow.. I will take a look at it .. maybe .
:o

I'm taking my own spin on what would happen and throwing John in there... cause I ship... lol!!

You know, i was thinking about Helen's involvment in WWII, after someone's earlier comment speculating on her involvement and if she would have fought against Hitler or not. Personally, I think it would have gone only one of two ways.

She and the Sanctuary networks would have taken a neutral stance, based on the premise that the war did not involve abnormals, and involving themselves would have just drawn unwanted attention, which I do not think based on the global nature would be the case.

Far more likely I think that outwardly, Hitler would have viewed abnormals as abominatioons and a risk to his view of the perfect race. He would have publically at least, encouraged the destruction of abnormals. Secretely though, I believe he would have recgonized the potential of certain traits, and perhaps sought to control them for his own purposes, perhaps running his own clandestine selective breeding programs.

It would have made the two arch enemies.

But even if he'd been completely unaware of abnormals, i think helen would have the intelligence, sense of morality, and long view to recognize that such a close minded, and unstable, personality, bent on world conquest and domination, in the long run, would mean no good would come in allowing him to have continued free reign.

Bump for this thread. Helen Magnus deserves be IN :-)

AresLover , thanks for your nice work. :-) Let me know when you will finish it . :-)

After reading several threads and seeing comments like:
- "How much more can Helen take?",
- "Wish Helen would get some good news sometime.", etc.,

I was wondering if you thought Helen was at her breaking point with all of the pressure, death, loss, emotional upheaval, etc. that has happened this year?

A) Pressure? What pressure? Helen doesn't feel any pressure!
B) Helen is on the verge of cracking.
C) Helen has already lost it.

What do you think?

I thnik that we all saw it in third episode of second season, Eulogy. She was in depression and she felt bad feelings. Another one was Kali I, II. She was under big pressure .. I think that she is only a person ... and everybody feels feelings.

Hey there folks,

I just wanted to pop onto this forum and share my love for the character of Helen Magnus. The truth is the series is great but if not for her and the way Amanda Tapping portrays her I probably wouldn't have watched past season 1. YAY for season three and to answer the other question...I think Helen somehow goes to the brink of breaking but her experience and her past allow her to see she's at that edge and pull herself back, sometimes just in time...in my humble opinion of course.

Also I want to ask this question here cause well honestly Helen said most of these...I'm trying to figure out how many Sanctuaries there are around the world and this is what I have so far through the end of Season 2 and the season finale...did I miss any does anyone know?

Washington; USA
New York; USA
London; United Kingdom
Mumbai, India
Cairo, Egypt
Rio De Janeiro, Brazil
Lima, Peru
Sydney, Australia
Lagos, Nigeria (Nearly gave myself a breakdown trying to figure out where the heck Lagos was)
Tokyo, Japan
New Delhi, India
Moscow, Russia
Beijing, China

That's thirteen by my count, did I miss any which is always possible? It's just for my information, I'm curious just how far the network expands and even with only 13 that's QUITE the list I gotta say.

I don't remember the Washington, D.C. sanctuary. What episode was that from?

Not Washington, D.C. Washington state, the Old City one that Helen commands or leads...it's never been stated it is in the US up near the Canadian border but in Fata Morgana when they're trackign the witches you see the location blink on the reader and it's Washington State as I understand my geography but I might be wrong...isn't that where it is or not, I know it's the US.

I believe it's actually in Vancouver, BC, Canada as the license plates are British Columbia on their vehicles and the map looked to be above Washington State. I had made a capture of that shot but I can't find it atm.

What do you think?

i think it's B, but not really. :p

i think she's losing too much in too small amount of time, and she *could* start cracking. but i don't see helen going nutso, just being more tense and desiring more time alone.

Hello Mellisa, welcome among us.

heh, I am "sure" that in my country is Sanctuary too. In Prague ... :)
( it was only joke ) :)

Hey Samantha,

I don't recall Prague mentioned specifically but check the episodes for me, you find it then it means I missed it...LOL

If not the next time I write a fan fic with another Sanctuary involved I'll happily put one there for you. Where is Prague anyway, my geography stinks.

I didn´t notice Prague in Sanctuary. It was only joke. :-) And if you will write FF with Praque, so don´t forget to send me a link.
Prague is the main city of the Czech Republic ( I live here ) :)

Plus if you look at some of the scenic episodes, some of the land scape they use looks lke Canada and places they used in Stargate.

I don't deny folks that the show (landscapes/license plates/ect...) are Canadian as the show is shot in Vancouver but I watched Fata Morgana again today and also the 'discussions' that go throughout the series it's portrayed as being in the US and in Fata Morgana from season one the lock on the tracker that we see the Cabal looking at to track the witches is near the Canadian border but definitely in the US side of things meaning aka Washington state (Old City to be specific) but it could be Oregon I suppose but I think it was Washington state because they were doing it to portray since 'Bigfoot' is supposed to be from around that area.

Just an opinion of course.

I think Old City/New City are in Washington state as well, since in End of Nights Helen and Will go to Vancouver to try to get Martin Wood before the Cabal. Though since it's a fictional city, I think the closest we can pin its location is that it's within a relatively short drive from Vancouver.

As far as other Sanctuaries, in Kali Helen mentions that the Egypt head worked with Wexford in Germany before he became the New York head, so there may be a Sanctuary in Germany. Also one of the heads in the multi-screen display in Kali sounded French, but I'm not sure.

That's how I see Helen too. I think the most she's going to lose it at this point in her life (barring outside influences ala Requiem) is what we saw in Eulogy. After an initial burst of rage and grief she'll retreat into herself, then find a way to make peace with the loss and keep moving on.

Unless I miss my guess the only Sanctuary heads that 'spoke' in the multi-plex display were Wexford (New York), Pili (Egypt) & Ravi (Mumbai) when she was at the London Sanctuary. I'm trying to recall the episode but I don't think she spoke to all the heads again, I know there were others and yes I knew about Germany but that doesn't mean there is a Sanctuary there...just that they worked together, it could have been just been a mission so that's why I didn't include it in the list. However good eye catching that for sure.

I don't think Helen's quite about to lose it, but she's far from being unaffected. I do think her main team will rally around her in the latest crisis. That has to help.

Helen is quite the risk taker. In Veritas, she

Spoiler:

easily could have died.

But she has confidence in her team. And by the way, I thought she looked properly pale

Spoiler:

in the infirmary scenes.

What was it Watson said? "jump off a cliff and hope you sprout wings" ? ;)

I happily agree with that statement...like in the commentary for the Five I think it is when Amanda is talking about Helen's motivation for why she shoots the vampires then runs off. She gathers what information she needs, makes a decision and whatever the consquences are she deals with them...

She takes what risks or whatever is needed for the situation, a sign of a true leader in my opinion.

I thought scince Stargate has one so should Sanctuary :)

Helen Magnus/Amanda Tapping Rocks!:)

This is pretty too:

I think what I like is the transition between the seasons. I like how Magnus spends time with John, albeit just to find their daughter. I just like the changes that we see.

Hey i agree that Helen mangus/Amanda is rocks! they are best leading lady in Sanctuary.

Yes, AT and Helen rock. Teyla, is your first language English? You're kinda hard to understand at times.
