But I think Helen has tried to kill Druitt at least twice, in 1888 and then in the pilot. She shot him in 1888 though it only grazed him, and then in the pilot she seemed to think whatever she put into her blood would kill him, since she mentioned she was surprised he wasn't dead in The Five.
IMO, in both instances she fully intended to kill Druitt, which suggests to me that Helen has the capacity to at least attempt to take the life of someone she loves if it's for the greater good. So I think it's more that Helen failed to kill Druitt because of outside influences rather than an internal inability to kill him.

I thought I remembered reading that Jim Menard was the director of photography on SAnctuary. I remember him on SG1 commentaries talking about his lighting techniques. In my multiple viewings I've noticed some really effective lighting and wondered if it was his. He's very good with flattering lighting on actors among other things.

Originally posted by Inward Wind View PostI guess I'm in the pondering mood these last couple of days but another thought I had was:
Spoiler:Do you think that Helen would take out Ashley if Ashley was going to kill someone else, like Will, Henry or BigFoot? The reason I ask was because, maybe it's just me, but I thought it strange that Helen wouldn't shoot Druit immediately when he showed up in her house in the pilot -before he grabbed Ashley or even afterwards when Ashley was yelling for her to do it. She evidently also waited to shoot him until after he killed the prostitute in the flashback - even though she knew who he was by that time.Originally posted by SunKrux View PostImho,

If Ashley needed taking out, I think Henry or Bigfoot would do it...but the circumstances would have to be absolutely dire.
OK... so are Australia and New Zealand like the last places to get Sanctuary??...coz that really really irks me to no end!"Live Peace - Speak Kindness - Dwell in Possibility"

I volunteer with an amateur theatre group (my official title: "Assistant Prop Chick") and the play we are currently performing includes a reference to a "cabal". Can't help but smile everytime I hear that. Also, the director is from Ireland and the other day she called me a "cheeky monkey". Totally cracked me up!
Thanks to Pengyn, SamJackShipLover and Mala for the sig.

Self-pimpage as my muses won't shut up: Paternal Instinct, Druitt's thoughts and feelings between his first meeting with Ashley and The Five. Only 881 words, so I guess they are at least brief
