\"Sanctuary<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/object><\/p>\n

Welcome back fellow Sanctuarians.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"SyFy<\/a> This is the last episode of season three from this very awesome and very cool series.\u00a0 The amount of talent and imagination that comes through each and every episode astonishes me as I watch each one.\u00a0 From the acting, to the special effects, even to the writers who help give us such \u2018sit-on-the-edge-of-your-seat\u2019 thrill is nothing but amazing and brilliant.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And imagine, it all started with webisodes.\u00a0 The shear determination alone to make Sanctuary<\/a> what it is today is nothing less then total amazement.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The choice in people who plays each role equally contribute to the splendor and enjoyment each week.\u00a0 I can see why this show has such a big and strong fan base.\u00a0 Not just because of the awesome Amanda Tapping, but because each person brings a little of themselves into the characters they play, and thus make them so lovable.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Now onto the reason why you are all here.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

With everything that happened from the last episode, we get a sense that something is definitely wrong with Hollow Earth.\u00a0 Abnormals who were living far underground for centuries, have now started to come to the surface.\u00a0 The cause has yet to be determined, but you can bet your bottom dollar it was not going to be something that Helen would have ever thought possible.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Sanctuary<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

They were called for a meeting with a representative of the U.N. and a General of the U.S. Military.\u00a0 Not what Helen was expecting, but I guess she knew it was going to happen eventually.\u00a0 Of course the man in the General role was someone I least expected.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Sanctuary<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Every time I see this part in any episode, it amazes me that it\u2019s all done by green screen.\u00a0 The whole room is in green.\u00a0 And knowing that, makes me appreciate the actors that much more.\u00a0 Not only do they have to remember their lines, and react like you would in any situation, but to do it all in an empty room.\u00a0 That in itself is WOW!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Sanctuary<\/a>Oh look who we have here.\u00a0 Yes, you got it.\u00a0 It is our lovable Col. Maybourne.\u00a0 NOT!\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Do not get me wrong, Mr. Tom McBeath<\/a> is a brilliant actor, but is there a role that he did not play where he was just as snaky and ruthless as Maybourne?\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Though General Villanova is not much out of character then Maybourne!\u00a0 Both you want to knock up side the head.\u00a0 Even though with Maybourne, he lightened up towards the end.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Maybe – no hopefully – in season 4 he would see that General Villanova should have listened to Helen in the first place.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Sanctuary<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Then we have Dr. Lillian Lee, played by the lovely Francoise Yip<\/a>.\u00a0 This character I kinda felt bad for.\u00a0 I felt she wanted to support Helen (Amanda Tapping<\/a>), but because of her superiors and the General, she had her hands tied as such.\u00a0 I liked her as she knows the good work that the Sanctuary has done in the past.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

At the same time felt that this was too much for just one place to handle.\u00a0 Even with all the other Sanctuary\u2019s in the different places around the world, they still did not have the space to take in all these abnormals that was surfacing.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Sanctuary<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Then we are taken to the make shift camp that the military has set up.\u00a0 Which peeved Will (Robin Dunne<\/a>) off as it looked more like a refugee camp then a sanctuary to help the new visitors.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Sanctuary<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Sanctuary<\/a>Will and Kate meet up with an officer in charge of the abnormal camp. When Will offered his hand, the officer promptly shook it.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Unfortunately, when Kate did the same thing, the officer in charge rudely ignored her sincere offer of respect for his position and authority.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

That to me shows that he is one hell of an arrogant, young, (insert bad word), pigheaded, cocky, oh and (insert bad word again).
\n\"Sanctuary<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

As the abnormals are being \u201cescorted\u201d into the gates to the tents that has been set up, one of the officers offer a giant creature a bottle of water.\u00a0 Not knowing anything about this abnormal, it smacked the water out of the officers hand.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Of course being surrounded by military, they went all up in arms with the guns all pointed and being very trigger happy.\u00a0 That is when Kate jumped in to stop a possible altercation.\u00a0 She told the officer that water is toxic to this type of creature.\u00a0 And with that said, she took it inside.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Sanctuary<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

At this point, Will is not happy with the whole situation.\u00a0 They came to them looking for help and all they are getting is being treated like thieves.\u00a0 That was up until Will spotted someone in the line up heading inside the gates.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Sanctuary<\/a>Hmmm.\u00a0 Now, where have we seen this guy before?\u00a0 Oh dear lawd, it is none other than Edge<\/a> (Adam Copeland<\/a>)! <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Well, Adam Copeland did make a great pain in the arse in the WWE wrestling program. This makes a person wonder if he will bring some part of Edge to this character named Thelo in this episode?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This is a fun episode to watch.\u00a0 Not only am I a fan of Sanctuary, but I do love watching Wrestling.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Sanctuary<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Call me names all you want, but I just like to watch WWE wrestling, both RAW and Smackdown.\u00a0 I apologize Edge, but my favourite wrestler is John Cena.\u00a0 LOL<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This was a nice section of the show.\u00a0 Poor Kate was a little hurt by the fact that the abnormals there would not accept water from her, but they would from Biggie.\u00a0 It was then that Biggie told Kate that it is her that is the strange one to them.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Sanctuary<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Then Kate (Agam Darshi<\/a>)looks over and sees a small table set up.\u00a0 She walks over and makes a comment about the lovely stones.\u00a0 She asks if she could see one of the stones and that\u2019s when the gentleman informs her that they were from his home and all he could carry with him to remember where he came from.\u00a0 She went to lay it back down on the table.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This is when he introduced himself to her as Garris (David Milchard<\/a>).\u00a0 He told her that she could keep it.\u00a0 Kate told him that was fine, but he took it and put it around her neck and tied it in the back.\u00a0 It was a very sweet gesture, I thought anyway, and a nice way to break down the mistrust between the humans and abnormals.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Sanctuary<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Then of course once Kate walked away, smiling, Garris looks over and sees Thelo and his sidekick, Herusan (Fraser Aitcheson<\/a>) looking over at him.\u00a0 Just like his alter ego, Thelo looks like he has a plan up his sleeve.\u00a0 And knowing that, it cannot be good.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Sanctuary<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Well this cannot be good.\u00a0 Sometimes it is Helen calls on John to help her in something or another.\u00a0 But when Druit (Christopher Heyerdahl<\/a>) is the one who pays a visit, you can bet it is up to no good.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Sanctuary<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Now we cannot end the third season of Sanctuary without bringing back Adam Worth (Ian Tracey<\/a>).\u00a0 Once the evil Adam came back into the picture, you had to know that he was up to no good again! The Adam Worth character is one of the best played psychos that I can remember to date.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Sanctuary<\/a>Helen gets a notion that something else is going on with Hollow Earth that is causing the abnormals to surface.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Helen Magnus reluctantly goes with John to investigate, leaving her young protege Will in charge of the Sanctuary.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Magnus is absolutely furious with John for letting Adam stay alive, not just once, but TWICE!\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Really? Is John not looking for a death wish?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Sanctuary<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Of course, with John\u2019s motive for keeping Adam alive this time, was purely out of love.\u00a0 Or was it?\u00a0 Not in Helen\u2019s eyes.\u00a0 This line of thinking will come apparent little later.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This picture is one of the most brilliant special effects that I cannot imagine they surpassing.\u00a0 And I say ONE OF the most as there have been so many during the past three years of Sanctuary that it is hard to find only the one.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Sanctuary<\/a>Interesting how Fallon goes to Thelo to ask for his help.\u00a0 It is apparent that Fallon wants to abide by the rules by the \u2018surface dwellers\u2019.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Unfortunately, Thelo has a different agenda.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

On a side note though.\u00a0 I felt really bad for John when he and Helen were walking through the tunnels to find Praxis City, only to find it destroyed.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Helen was so furious that John would not think of the horrible consequences of going back in time just so he could change things that had occurred between the two of them in the past.\"Sanctuary<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIf who I am now is so meaningless to you, that you would sacrifice it just to bed me in some other timeline.\u00a0 John, that\u2019s not love.\u201d\u00a0 Can you say Ouch?\u00a0 But oh so true.\u00a0 They have been through so much over the years, that you would think that John would just let it go and stop pursuing Helen.\u00a0 Maybe now he will.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Sanctuary<\/a>I thought this was a very lovely scene.\u00a0 Kate had obviously changed from when we first met her.\u00a0 The \u2018tough-girl\u2019 image is gone.\u00a0 She no longer has to protect herself from people who might want to hurt her.\u00a0 Now she is apart of an awesome family who cares and looks out for each other.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

With Kate offering Garris a gift as a token of friendship, as well as from the fact that Garris had given her a gift from earlier, proves that Kate is a very caring person.\u00a0 She had proven that time and time again throughout this season.\u00a0 Makes me wonder what is in store for us in season 4.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, all hell is breaking loose in the camp that Will meets up with Kate and Biggie (Christopher Heyerdahl<\/a>) to see what the devil was going on.\u00a0 That is when Kate tells Will that it was all over name calling.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Sanctuary<\/a>One of Thelo\u2019s sidekicks called Kate a name that Garris took offense too, and that is what brought on this whole situation.
\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I must give credit to Garris though for standing up for a non-abnormal like he did says a lot about his character.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

So Will decides to go and see Fallon, that is when Will realizes he is in trouble.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

With Fallon killed and Thelo & the gang just outside the tent, things are about to go very bad for Will.\u00a0 Ultimately, Will gets chased down by Thelo and the boys until he is trapped at a dead end with no where to go.\"Sanctuary<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Sanctuary<\/a>Awww.\u00a0 Poor Will.\u00a0 Knowing what is about to happen, he gives it his best.\u00a0 First he goes for a punch.\u00a0 But that did not do anything to Thelo.\u00a0 Then Will tries a head-but.\u00a0 That too is unsuccessful.\u00a0 Then he tried a few swings at Thelo, again, with no avail.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Then Thelo turned it around and got in a few punches and ended it with a clothes line.\u00a0 He should have done the “spear”.\u00a0 LOL.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Poor Will, he should have had John Cena on the side to help him out. That is when Biggie and the other officers came to Will\u2019s rescue.\u00a0 Biggie stayed to fight Thelo, as Will was escorted out.\u00a0 Of course his next concern was Kate.\u00a0 She was still in there somewhere!\"Sanctuary<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Then back at the Sanctuary, something about this whole mess did not feel right to the guys.\u00a0 What was the whole point to the fight in the first place.\u00a0 Henry then tells Will that Druit came back with some info from Adam\u2019s computers.\u00a0 That is when Henry told Will that the city was gone.\u00a0 And no doubt it had something to do with Adam and his weapon.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

But\u2026 was it a weapon?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Sanctuary<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Will and Henry had to do the unpleasant task of having a chat with General Villanova and Dr. Lee.\u00a0 Something just did not feel right.\u00a0 That is when they discovered that this was all just a distraction from something greater.\u00a0 The real threat was coming.\u00a0 Adam’s invention was the cause of all this happening.\u00a0 Only problem was that Will did not have the proof that Dr. Lee was asking for.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Sanctuary<\/a>That was until they lost the feed from the camp and when it did come back on, they were confronted with something they were not prepared for.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Yep, you got it, Thelo and his thugs had taken over the camp and had hostages.\u00a0 One of which was Biggie.\u00a0 Not what they needed right now.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Of course the General wanted to go in all guns a blazing.\u00a0 Will wanted to go in calmly and try to talk to them.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Though, I do not think any amount of talking was going to persuade Thelo and his gang to back down and let their people go.\"Sanctuary<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

But it was too late.\u00a0 The Invasion has already began.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\n\"Sanctuary<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Sanctuary<\/a>Meanwhile, Helen was working on the computers left behind by Adam, when the lights started flickering.\u00a0 Still not sure what to think, she continues on with her research.\u00a0 After the lights flicker a few more times, she does another search for Adam when John comes around the corner.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

After some, with a bit more flickering, Adam finally comes into view.\u00a0 Though, not for long.\u00a0 Then he goes out of phase again.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Helen had tried to max out the power for the computers to bring him back.\u00a0 It worked for some time.\u00a0 Long enough for Adam to tell Helen the true reason why John let him live – yet again.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Sanctuary<\/a>With John wanting to go back to the year to stop them from taking the source blood and Adam wanting to go back to the year to save his daughter, there laid the conflict that could affect all of history!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In the end Adam seemed to have won.\u00a0 He compensated for the power and went out of phase again.\u00a0 Then John had an idea.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

With him using himself to max out the power, John had hoped to have stopped Adam from going back in time.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Unfortunately, John was too late, the portal opened, Adam said his pleasantries in his egotistical manner and walked through.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Sanctuary<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This cannot be good.\u00a0 With Helen sent back in time, what effect will this have on her own self in that period?\u00a0 Will the future Helen experience tropic cascade failure because of having two of them in the one timeline?\u00a0 Think of SG1 – Point of View, when we had two Carter’s.\u00a0 That did not work out so well, did it?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

As well, other things come to mind as to what the possibilities could come from this.\u00a0 Will Helen find Adam and stop him from saving his daughter?\u00a0 If caught, how will this Helen explain a handgun that has not been invented yet?\u00a0 If Adam does save his daughter from death, what will become of the Sanctuary as we know it?\u00a0 So many thoughts and ideas that it is exciting to see how season 4 will play out.\u00a0 And that in itself, makes me very excited to want to watch to find out.\u00a0 And I hope you feel the same.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
