    Yeah, that was classic! The camera work at the beginning was a bit hard on the eyes, but I understood why they did it that way. May have been b/c I was a bit headachy already. I loved
    Spoiler:
    the end where Helen totally had the reporter's number.
    Not really an obvious character episode, but nice little bits that help show more about each of them.

        INSTINCT TONIGHT!!!

        Hello again, Sanctuarians!

        "Instinct" is the latest episode of Sanctuary to hit the airwaves, and proved a unique adventure from start to finish!

        From the fearless director of this episode, S. A. Adelson:

        "This is the first episode of television that I directed... "Instinct" is a unique episode, in that every scene was photographed in one take; much like Hitchcock's "Rope." It is a fast paced episode with a really cool creature. My hats off to all of the cast and crew. Happy Holidays to everyone!!!"

        Let's go out with a bang this year!! Make sure you, your family and friends are watching live this Friday!

        Cheers,
        Team Sanctuary

        Sorry if this was posted already. I just wanted to make sure everyone was aware of S1's complete awesomeness.

          I didn't mind the camera stuff...
          Spoiler:
          much better than some shows where they spin around...a lot! My fave scene would be when Helen asks them to not eavesdrop...and when they bag the mother bug...love the reaction of all the team!!
          Probably the only thing I couldn't really get a handle on was the reporter...she just did nothing for me. I'm sure the actress who plays her is lovely but...maybe it's my aversion to reporters...not all of them, but with some of the sensationalism out there in the media, I get a little icky with reporters.
          But other than that, I enjoyed it.

              Ok, I had nooooo idea where to post this question, but here goes:

              In a flash of inspiration, I just wrote a 4000 word or so Sanctuary fic... my first! It's pretty much a Helen!Whump Dark Fic, (perfect for the Christmas time??? Don't ask, my muse does as it pleases) And was wondering where to fish about to catch a good Beta...

              Advice?

              Please PM me!! Thanks so much.

                I saw "Instinct" last night, another great ep! My favourite bit was...
                Spoiler:
                When the reporter thought she had the tape at the end and then all she gets is Helen....hahaha that was brilliant!

                    Oh wow, thank so much for that . it's funny because I've actually been wondering lately what Amanda enjoys doing on Holidays . And now I know , it was very nice on getting some insight on what her favorite activities are, they were so human and so cute . And I'm particularly fond and impressed of Amanda's answer for what her best Christmas/holiday memory is. Now that's the kind of answer I'd expect from her .
                    I really hope Amanda enjoys all those things she mentioned, and that she makes more memories.

                            I've never seen the movie White Christmas, but my firm's holiday outing this year was to see the stage show. And the General was played by David Ogden Stiers! I about fell off my chair when he walked on stage. (He was the leader of the human form replicators on SGA and of course Charles Winchester III on MASH)

                            I've never heard the Pogues song or if I have, I don't recall it. Will definitely track it down now.

                            Chipmunk's rock!

                            And where was I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas? (A couple of years ago, I bought everyone in my family a hippo beanie baby for their stockings. We all got a hippo for Christmas. )

                              So does Sanctuary and AT.

And now I know , it was very nice on getting some insight on what her favorite activities are, they were so human and so cute . And I'm particularly fond and impressed of Amanda's answer for what her best Christmas/holiday memory is. Now that's the kind of answer I'd expect from her .
                                I really hope Amanda enjoys all those things she mentioned, and that she makes more memories.
