Ahem. Sorry couldn't resist.

Depends. Is her dad running his own version of a Sanctuary in this reconception?

I believe going by the webisodes Helen's father had his own Sanctuary back in victorian london when Helen was still a student .

My theory is on how Helen obtained the pure vampier blood is that perhaps within the Sanctuary her father owned there was one remaing pure blood vampier talikng refuge in the Sanctuary and in doing so Helen knew this vampier she was able to blood sample from him and then she found a way to make a syrum from it so it could be tested . just a theory .

I've been thinking about REQUIEM with Helen looseing her mind for a while do you think after word's she would understand a bit more of what John could possibly be going through ?

spoilers for 'requiem'

Spoiler:

i think it depends on 'why' helen loses her mind. the tv spoilers say that she's infected with a parasite, so is is really helen' that's losing her mind, or something actually taking her over?

but if helen remembers it, she could be more sympathetic towards druit's dark side. she might be already, but slitting prostitutes throats isn't a very nice thing to do.

i love helen magnus! she's a super cool and strong and sexy woman that's lived a VERY long time!

so sanctuary ptb, let's SEE that long life on screen!

Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, I can't wait for Requiem, that's been the episode I've been looking most forward to seeing for a while now * Squee*

And I'll tell you why, it's because of Amanda's own words: "There’s an episode called Requiem which for me personally was the bravest work I’ve ever done as an actor. I don’t think I would’ve been able to do that had I not felt so safe." Also that interview Amanda did with Tony which talks about going crazy .

I can't wait to see what Amanda delivers, I always wanted to see what Sam going crazy would look like, so I can't wait to see Requiem .

And the pics, I've seen make it look that more awesome .

I also LOVE Helen, you read dead on about her being super cool, strong, but don't forget smart, brave and caring. Oh, and 300% right about the sexy part .

I love Amanda and Sam for the same reasons, my sig says it all.

[Mcfergeson]

ooh, interesting idea!

it'll be revealed that the ship sunk because helen was hunting a bad abnormal and it bit the ship and made it go sinky.

One of the great things about a long-lived character like Helen is the potential for fascinating stories like this.

[prsweety]

ok...she did say she froze the embryo? Did that confuse anyone? lol...how did she do that?

I totally agree. Her character was around for some of the most pivotal events in recent history and most likely interacted with some of the most influential people during that time. I hope we get some stories like that in season 2, like seeing Helen during WWII or working with Einstein.

About Helen being on the Titanic with an abnormal, in the opening titles when they show the newspaper with the Titanic headline you can briefly see a mermaid-like creature in the bottom-left corner of the picture. Whenever I see that I always wonder if it's the same mermaid we saw in the pilot.

Yes she mention's it in boath episode 1 and webisode 4 .

How she froze the embryo is a mystery of the Sanctuary but i believe that the Sanctuary is far a head of it's time plus having THE FIVE perhap's someone she worked with long ago was able to help her in removing it and freezing it .

[ShortStuff23]

The question I would ask in that case is who would've built the device and that person must've built it quickly as you can't keep an unmade Ashley for too long in the warm air.

I still believe it could have been Tesla who could have built the device in which to keep Ashley frozen though know Helen and Tesla arent on the best of term's perhap's at the time they were and he helped her out also Ashley know's Tesla .

[helenmagnus23]

With what i have read about what is happening in REVELATIONS i cant wait to see it

What other ability could Helen have gained from the vampier blood ?

The reason i ask this is becase each of the other memeber's of THE FIVE gained two abilities .What do you think could be Helen's other ability?

[Bagpuss]

I'm tempted to think her extra bonus is speed ,but seeing as both Carter and Magnus are quick-draw shooters...I think it's going to be something more subtle than Amanda's ability to outgun onscreen monsters .

All the Five seem to have been endowed with longevity and delayed ageing ,judging from Druitt,Helen,Tesla and Peter Wingfield's character ( Watson ? ) in a cap I saw.

Druitt said it was the most simple and elegant of the gifts recieved...so is it an emotional gift (eg : the compassion and love for the Abnormals ?) ,or is something that will be clearly different from the "Others" ?

sam-helen fans -

would someone like to make a sam or helen vid of this song ("wait for sleep") by 'dream theater'? here's a link for the song:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JcNpQ...eature=related

from the dreaminess of the song, i think it would me an awesome melancholy-ish video.

You would think wouldn't you. She had no control over the parasite taking over and john had no control of his powers going all wonky on him.

I think that is why, now, she is a little more amenable to him being around.... Cause she nearly killed will and Will killed her. So....


And yeah, killing whores is a no no... lol!!!

BUMP BUMP...

Hey, Why this thread is so down ? It is about our Helen . we can start discussion.

Yesterday, I saw Pavor Nocturnus and Veritas. I have to say, that Helen was awesome.
I was afraid of her in Veritas. :-(

What kind of opinion do you have about her role in these two episode ?
Did you like it, or didn´t ?

And if you like watching Art about Helen , I did some avatars..

You are right. It's been quiet around here lately.

Oh i loved her in those two episode...but I like her in every single episode^^
Pavor Nocturnus was really hard to watch espacially the "shower scene". And the revealling end....quite sad. Sometimes it looks like she got over Ashley but in episodes like this you see how broken she really is.
Veritas was awesome. I would've never guess what she did to herself. I like Helens darker side


Your avatars are lovely

[Samantha.Majka]

Will to Helen : "Oh my God, you are totally crazy."

Yes, he was right. Heh, she is crazy, but nicely.
I want Helen to be my mother.
