What is Love?




An Irrational self-destructive impiulse which is disguised as joy.
- Sanctuary  Season 2 Episode 1 


Episode Guide from Wikipedia

Six weeks after Ashley is turned by the Cabal, she steals a secret hard drive concerning past Sanctuary operations in Montreal. Tesla is able to develop a cure against "Lazarus", while John and Magnus search the world for Ashley and attempt to stop the Cabal. In the process, the team encounter Kate Freelander (Agam Darshi), a con artist with Cabal connections. Kate is able to escape, but knowing she was captured by the Sanctuary, the Cabal order a hit on her. Freelander flees to the Sanctuary and tells Magnus everything she knows about the Cabal, saying she visited one of their facilities in Alberta. When they arrive there they encounter Ashley, who has been converted to a Vampire-hybrid using the blood from Bhalasaam. They escape before she can kill them. We learn that the Cabal have copied Ashley's DNA, have created five other hybrids, and have declared war on the Sanctuary network. 




Comment:




I really like Director Martin Wood's use of several frames to give different perspectives to a scene. Magnus' acting is a bit wanting, especially at the part when she meets Ashley for the first time. Good thing not many viewers are watching Sanctuary for the acting skills of its actors, otherwise its viewers will drop significantly. Great season opener though. Everybody's probably wonder if Magnus will get Ashley back.
