It was GREAT to see Amanda and Michael together. I saw this actual epi before I saw this "enhanced" epi. Michael is a great actor and it was cool to see him play a character that was so "rough and tumble" instead of the sort of nerdy bookworm. It was also nice to see that the decision to bring Michael in was not used as some sort of crutch for this show, allowing Sanctuary to stand on its own two. This, in turn, gave the show a great new character who all fans will hope to see again and again. I was most enthused to hear these same ideas, expressed by major cast members and others involved in the process. It's always interesting to find out the back story to what the viewer sees on the screen especially for Syfy shows because many of them today require the use of special effects.Though the ending was not exactly what they wished for I still think it held together quite well and thus adds another facet to the quirky, strange, intriguing world of the Sanctuary series. The strong female characters that are presented only add to the aforementioned reasons for why Syfy fans (and others) will be willing to give this series some attention, to say the least.For the haterz out there; though the series may have some holes in the plots and complain that it, therefore, does not hold up to intense scrutiny, please remember, it's JUST TV, it's ENTERTAINMENT. If you don't like it, change the channel on your TV, click on over to something else on your computer, or, turn the device your watching it on, off.

mostly i hate my life. i hate my little job, no different from slavery, my tiny apartment, no different from a cell. and i am not a child anymore, ive done a lot of things, and yet here i am. im trapped here and things wont get better for me. and so i dream. i sleep as much as possible and when i cant sleep anymore, i watch TV, or dream online, or read. anything that takes me to that needed land of Otherthan. when i hear these "enhanced" episodes, i lean over the shoulders of happy people, laughing, creative, successful. the distance between them and me is greater than anything imagined in the science fiction they create. and i am grateful. no envy. their real lives provide me with another dream to dream, and that is the gift. the dead need the living, i see now. not to resent but to remind... there is a better place than this,somewhere. there are real lives being lived somehow. and someone has made it out alive. thank you.
