Tom! See, I couldn't remember his character's name, only the actor's name. Joel Gretsch. Oh, The 4400. So underrated.
Harmony: Somebody remembered to pick me up the sweetest unicorn. Guess someone was feeling guilty for standing me up in tenth grade. Brad: What? Had to get her something. She sired me. Peaches: Sire-whipped.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I knew I'd seen 'Penny' before, but the American accent disguised her for me.

I have begun to dislike Joseph Fiennes's growly American accent.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Whereas I'm always distracted by how bad Brian F. O'Byrne's American accent is. Couldn't they just have let him be Irish?

Is that the bearded guy? He's Irish? Huh. I wouldn't have guessed, but I could see that.

He's got a very impressive stage career.

“Not dead yet!”

Yep. Me too. The Irish sneaks out at the beginning of any speech he makes before settling down into indeterminate blue collar. I think it would have made him more interesting if he had been Irish and been a U.S. Military vet as well. Would have made the loss of his daughter in some ways that much more poignant to me.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Is "Sanctuary" on a really limited budget? That has to be the explanation for showing 2 of the main characters this week.

I finally watched V, since I wasn't getting ABC last week.
I want to know how a guy in a wheelchair managed to be a regular at a church with two flights of steps leading to the door. And why, at the end, he went through the effort of getting the wheelchair up the stairs just to reveal that he didn't need it any more.
It reminded me of Jericho. It's a scary vision of what the world would be like if everyone's IQ was halved.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It's not the first time they did it--they limited it to Will and Magnus before, in the submarine episode when she was going crazy. Not sure if that negates budget concerns, but I thought I'd mention the precedent.
I'm just relieved there was an episode where I didn't have to see Kate, but the idea that Will would have a kid with her is quite icky. Especially since I thought they were going somewhere with her and Henry.
It's a scary vision of what the world would be like if everyone's IQ was halved.
Not to mention their paranoia. When has any group of humans embraced anything new that quickly and uniformly? I don't care how many advance Visitors there were--we just don't work like that.
