Friday night's episode of Sanctuary saw the return of snarky vampire inventor Nikola Tesla, intent on bringing bloodsuckers back into existence by transforming trust fund babies into vamps. First they call him their Obama, then things don't go so well. More »

After the joys of vampire squid-on-scorpion violence, Sanctuary delivered the abnormal equivalent of forehead aliens this week, pairing a guy with a pouch in his stomach with a mob boss with radiation-spewing hands and some serious temper issues. More »

After the last episode's disappointing monster no-show, Sanctuary gives us a bona fide battle of the abnormals, pitting the normally docile vampire squid against the vicious sea scorpion. Which critter will come out on top? More »

Amanda Tapping went crazy on last night's episode of Sanctuary — and not just because she stepping into the director's chair. It's all linked to a conspiracy within the Sanctuary Network, and one of the most destructive abnormals on Earth. More »

Bigfoot, a werewolf, and the Creature from the Black Lagoon walk into an episode of Sanctuary, and what do they do? Mostly, they trade sign language, perform mundane medical procedures, and wait for the episode's true villain to emerge. More »

Sanctuary returned last night with an ailing Bigfoot, monster-making madness, and more of vampire Nikola Tesla. And we learned many important lessons about everything from dealing with hot female mercenaries to hanging out with Jack the Ripper. More »

Last night’s Sanctuary moved us from monster crises to supernatural murder mystery, one filled with dark secrets, family bondage, and a young man with Asperger’s Syndrome and a pair of impressive abilities. Plus, Henry becomes McGruff the Crime Dog and Will reveals a superpower of his own. More »

Last night, Sanctuary treated us to a bizarre blend of two speculative fiction favorites: vampires and Serbian inventor Nikola Tesla. We find out what bloodsuckers can do with an encyclopedic understanding of electricity, but the episode’s biggest reveals are about the major characters. We learn how Helen Magnus became immortal, Ashley learns the truth about her father, and Will learns why Henry lives in the Sanctuary. More »

Sanctuary returned this week with another episode that was light on character development and heavy on the CG. And this week’s monsters are a set of deceptively cute, computer-generated puffballs that reproduce like super-powered rabbits and make everyone around them long to do the same. It sounds like a recipe for sexy, Star Trek-inspired fun. But the serious scientists of the Sanctuary are far too busy being rational to bother with getting it on. More »

Sanctuary totally redeemed itself last night with the best episode of its short run on the SciFi Channel. Dispensing with character development and CGI overload for the time being, the show focused on plot, spinning a noir-ish tale of men who can make themselves small enough to fit through any opening. You can fill in your own punchline for that set-up - We'll see if we can convince you to give the show another try. More »

This week's Sanctuary followed up the premiere episode by murdering the skeletons of the Super Mario Bros. We're not sure who these crypt-soldiers are working for - our best guess would be Shredder - but the slaughter can be laid on the hands of Amanda Tapping's 157 year old (and spry) cryptozoologist and her mercenary daughter. This prompts us to ask the writers of the show: if you're going to steal, why not steal from the best? More »
