YMMV / Sanctuary (2007)

Go To

  • Die for Our Ship:
    • Inflicted on Clara Griffin by those who are against the Will/Clara ship. You can all relax now, she dies during the second half of the 2nd season opener.
    • Then Abby Corrigan showed up... man, Will can't get with anyone without fan backlash against the poor girl.
  • Draco in Leather Pants: John Druitt, especially after his Cry for the Devil moment in "Haunted". Tesla too, although not quite to the same extent.
  • Fan Nickname:
    • Redjac, for the Energy Being Retconned into being the cause of Druitt's serial killer urges in "Haunted".
    • The show itself has been nicknamed "The Little Show That Could".
  • Fan-Preferred Couple: While Helen/Druitt is canon (technically past canon)Helen/Tesla is more favored both in and out of universe, especially by Tesla. Ascended to Official Couple in the last episode.
  • Fridge Brilliance: Ever thought that, for someone who tried to artificially extend his life so long in the first place, Watson was strangely accepting of his death in Revelations, what with him not even trying to fix his anti-aging suit when he knew it was failing? Well, thanks to Helen's time traveling back to the Victorian era in Tempus, Watson knew that he would be dead by the time period she came from, which he knows to be between 2010 and 2015 (from her driver's licence). So he always knew that he could extend his life only until then, no matter if he could technically make it last longer or not. Revelations aired in 2009.
  • Heartwarming Moments:
    • "If you ever do that to me again, I will shoot you myself." The friendship between Henry and the Big Guy is pretty much one of these all over, all the time.
    • "Magnus, never, ever ask me to kill you again."
  • Narm:
    • Most of what Will does after getting linked to Kali/Big Bertha. The torture scene was, in fact, downright hilarious, among other things; at least some of it had to have been deliberate.
    • In the Musical Episode, Abby's Villain Song is interlaced with Will dispassionately mumble-singing. Abby's near-death experience was similarly ruined by Will's solo. One thinks that this also must have been deliberate.
  • Narm Charm:
    • Will's dance for Kali. The fact that said dance is a full on show stopping Bollywood dance number has to mean they did it on purpose. It's just too damn ridiculous to be an accident.
    • In-universe as well. Look at the crowd, none of them can see Will's imaginary dancers, yet none of them are in any hurry to stop watching him.
