• TV review: ‘Sanctuary’ returns to finalize third season
  The show stars Amanda Tapping, best known for creating the Samantha Carter role in “Stargate SG-1.” As the “Stargate” franchise, previously a Syfy powerhouse, has slowly faded out, Tapping has taken on the role of Helen Magnus in “Sanctuary.” Magnus is a scientist who has lived more than 150 years thanks to an experiment involving vampire blood that she participated in along with her colleagues, all of whom are now of notable repute. These associates included the invisible man, Dr. James Watson, Nikola Tesla and the man who would become known as Jack the Ripper. Read more.
