Abnormally interesting The SyFy series “Sanctuary” presents the interesting concept that the odd creatures which provide fodder for tabloids and creatures that the general public have not imagined exist. Further, most of these “abnormals” are not inherently evil even if their natures lead them to be destructive or kill. The Sanctuary refers to a ginormous mansion from which the 157 year-old Dr. Helen Magnus, who is played by Stargate veteran Amanda Tapping, and her team operate. This group is dedicated to studying and protecting these misunderstood creatures. The 13-episode first-season, which will be released on DVD on September 15, introduces Dr. Will Zimmerman to the team. Zimmerman assumes the role of understanding the psychology of the abnormal of the week for the purpose of capturing that creature for his, her, or its own good and then helping it if possible. He is also Magnus’ protégé and is being groomed to take over the Sanctuary when her Abe Vigoda-like lifespan ends. An episode involving weapons and tech. expert Henry Foss mirrors an X-Men film plot in that Foss must decide whether to undergo treatment that will cure him of his own abnormality but runs the risk of impairing his intelligence or affecting his endearing Michael J. Foxesque personality. Another derivative episode has the evil “Cabal” using abnormals that it created purposefully as combatants in a fight club. Seeing a main character as an abnormal is one of more noteworthy elements of this memorable episode. This episode also reveals an important part of Magnus’ history. The lore of “Sanctuary” involves Magnus’ long-time posse, which is known as “The Five.” Members of this group includes Druitt, who pays for teleporting by becoming increasingly brain-damaged and malicious, a vampire, and a man who can become invisible. The final two episodes of the season require that this group undergo a high-stakes Super Friends style mission that requires each of their special abilities. The interesting concept of the show, the fact that it developed from webisodes, and the involvement of behind-the-scenes Stargate people make watching it worthwhile. The serial aspect of the show and the special features, which include a look at the upcoming second season and the original webisodes edited together into two regular-length episodes, make it worth owning on DVD. Because this is a show that I sense that I should like even more than I do, I ask that fans email me at tvdvdguy@gmail.com to let me know if I am missing something regarding it. TV on DVD Reviews:  |
