Sanctuary Discussion (Spoilers for the most recent episode)

[jckfan55]

Yep I agree with Suse

Spoiler:

I think she purposefully(sp?) used the american accent to Will, like making fun of his accent. To more so taunt Will than anything else.

Yes, that was it--particularly on "Helen." Wonderful stuff!

A big THANK YOU to Sky and to all those who have pm'd me offering their help but I'm hoping the station will correct the problem before Monday's or Friday's rebroadcasts so I can join you all in the "Requiem Admiration Society". I appreciate all the kindness.

EH-T have you tried the website for TMN, I think they like SciFi show it streaming.

I looked there but it only shows the trailer and the webisodes. Good to know about the latter though. Thanks.

So, something to make up for the sound problems with the latest episodes, my Sanctuary t-shirt and hoodie arrived today. I haven't tried them on (still at work) but the t-shirt size looks good. However, the hoodie is huge for a "small". I often have this problem when the sizes are unisex. Just a heads up to others.

When did you order yours? (If you don't mind my asking...?) I've got an order in also and I'm hoping it will make it before xmas but I'm in the states. I ordered Nov. 24th.

Well, you could move to Canada because we get it commercial free. However, you would have to give up hearing the episode!

Maybe the sound is just muffled by all the snow.

Huge honking spoilers for anyone who did not see Requiem tonight on ITV4

Spoiler:

Apparently Helen's nosebleeds had nothing to do with the parasite or pressure. According to ITV4's advert campaign they were running in the breaks, she's just a cokehead!

Sorry....that's just too funny.

You know what I was thinking today...and this might be somewhat morbid or what not...but

Spoiler:

Helen is able to die. We now know she can die and isn't immortal in the sense of she can't be killed. She can actually die. Or maybe, she dies but only for a short time then she regenerates and comes back to life...Ok...now I'm just confusing myself!
I loved how when she asked Will to be creative...she knew what he had to do...this woman is just too calm

...I sooo love her!

I was so thinking that! That was great to see, the fact that :

Spoiler:

she is not immortal... that she can totally be killed.... It gives her a vulnerability.... although I was pretty sure after The Five that she could be killed the way she acted when Nikola sent the vamps after her....

My favorite part? Lol, where she was right in Will's face and just goes "Ha!" She played that soooo well, just completely out of the box, example when he woke up and she kept saying "You're okay" in that childlike voice... The way Amanda played it, she brilliantly let you see that it clearly wasn't Helen....

[suse]

Yes, that was it--particularly on "Helen." Wonderful stuff!

But he never calls her "Helen", only Magnus. But "Helen" sounded very North American.

Spoiler:

I loved that moment as well, Helen going from reassuring to accusatory so quickly. But I think it really was Helen that we saw throughout the episode, just a Helen that was slowly losing control of her emotions because of the parasite's effect on her limbic system.

Will said Magnus was one of the most controlled and rational person he knew, which I think comes from the all the history she's lived through. By the end, I think we saw a Helen who had lost most of that control and rationality, and was dominated by the darker aspects of her personality that she can usually keep under control, like her bitterness and anger about all the people she's outlived.

That's part of what I really liked about AT's performance, that it wasn't just Helen going completely insane, but Helen going insane while still retaining or revealing parts of her personality.

I'm clearly spending far too much time thinking about this episode...

Drives me batty (and I knew you were wondering what the reason was...)

I tried both browsers...no luck!

OMG...that was brilliant...I'm really having a hard time to pin pint just one favourite moment...the whole ep just blew me away! And continues to do so!

Spoiler:

I didn't catch onto the change in accent other than when she said "Friends don't do that to each other"...it sounded more cockney than anything else. And when she said her name "Helen"...it almost sounded aussie! But other than that I don't recall it ever sounding American.

Spoiler:

I wonder how much of her emotions were hers when she teared up after the second/third nose bleed?
I hope that now we get to see more of Helen's vulnerabilities and more emotion and less control. Especially with regard to Ashley...considering how frustrated she is currently.

you know it could be

requiem spoilers

Spoiler:

that there's a part of helen that desperately wants to cut loose. she wants to act without worrying about consequences or the fall out, just act and not worry about what will happen.

but it's a part that was trained out of her, first in victorian england, then as the years have gone on and she grew into a lifestyle and occupation that depends totally on discretion and 'lying low', thus every action now is measured and precise.

i wonder if there's a part of her that envies ashely and her exuberance and verve.

[folke123]

Not a spoiler but I am not botherd to change the thread When she asked if he could feel the "sunlight" how could she belive him when he said yes? He wasn't infected right? And why didn't she infect him when he was tied to the chair? I was hoping for a kiss there
