Five years ago if someone would have told me a show about geeks would be so popular I would have laughed in their faces. A show where Klingon bobble is cool, where talk of twitter/facebook/computers/technology/etc is revered, where there is an algorithm for friendship and rock, paper, scissors, lizard, spock settles arguments..I would have laughed. Now that Big Bang Theory is a show I do laugh, every monday night..usually until I have tears…I laugh!

The show follows a bunch of physicists that happen to be huge sci-fi geeks. The plot is something that should never work on network TV, but this cast is just so amazing that it pulls it off with flying colors.

Instead of me talking about how great this show is……just watch!

Sanctuary started out as a web series a few years ago and then got picked up by SyFy as it’s own show. Season 3 starts this fall and I am so excited to see where they take this show. Not only did this show start as a web series it is the first show to be completely shot on green screen. It has won several awards for the visual effects.

Sanctuary follows the adventures of the beautiful, enigmatic and always surprising Dr. Helen Magnus (Amanda Tapping), a brilliant scientist who holds the secrets of a clandestine population — a group of strange and sometimes terrifying beings that hide among humans.

Along with her new recruit, forensic psychiatrist Dr. Will Zimmerman (Robin Dunne), her quirky tech wiz Henry (Ryan Robbins) and her fearless daughter Ashley (Emilie Ullerup), Magnus seeks to protect this threatened phenomena as well as unlock the mysteries behind their existence. The series also stars Christopher Heyerdahl as the sinister John Druitt.

This is a show that spans history as well. Magnus is well into her 100’s and her one time finance, Druitt, is also known as Jack The Ripper. We meet Sherlock Holmes, vampires, big foot, and more. The story line is fast paced and at times heart breaking. It is a show that is not lacking for action, but does not forget to stop and develop the characters.

Season 1 can be viewed on netflix and season 2 can be purchased on iTunes. Season 3 starts this fall on the SyFy network.

Here is a peek at the show:

• Artz….
• I like sideways Ben. He cares.
• When did Ben and his dad leave the island? I guess his dad is not a raging drunk.
• Alex is part of history club.
• “Cheese Carrots”
• How is Richard going to “die”?
• I always thought Richard came to the island from the Black Rock. Now that point is proven.
• Richard lost hope.
• Why is Jack so eager to help Richard die?
• Jack found Richard’s hope.
• Ben has the choice to save Alex again.
• “I will have you” those are powerful words.
• Ben made the right choice and saved Alex in the sideways world.
• There is redemption for Ben….this has made this show worthwhile. I hope this continues through the show.
• This last scene is very close to when the two castaways first came together.
• Charles is back….good grief.

So far this episode has redeemed this season.  Ben dying to himself and choosing the right thing in both worlds…is just amazing. I hope Charles coming back to the island does not throw this new Ben into a tailspin.

This episode was a great episode that showcased faith, hope and redemption.
