Anyone know what the song is that's playing during the big Alex break-in scene?  It sounds a lot like something from The Last Dance but I can't find a listing to confirm that anywhere.

lol teach me to get into a show 16yrs too late.

Anybody know if Simon identified with any particular religion. I know he collected statues of angels.

Yes, Thanksgiving ANON. I realize that Thanksgiving is a U.S. thing, but the we do have time on our hands at the moment to write. So I bring to ALL the fans an ANON weekend. Give me your prompts, and let the writing begin. This is open to gen, pre-slash, slash, crack, and all the other forms I didn't write here.

This is to be fun. So come by drop a few prompts, and then see what others want and write up a storm.

Come by tsanon join up, and see where it leads us. Tell your friends, and spread the word on what we are up to. Ambitious but is it rubbish? I can't say.

Do you enjoy discussing the characters, episodes, plots, etc?  Were you one of those people passionately putting forth your viewpoints when we put up the episode analyses last year?  Well, we have a meta just for you!

PsychGirlsnycock and I just posted "The Essential Sentinel", a project that includes the 25 episodes we think are the most influential of the show.  We did this as part of the Sentinel Big Bang sentinelbigbang, which has just ended. 

Each episode has its own post and we invite you to come over and check it out.  You are free to read whichever one(s) you wish and comment as much as you wish.  In addition, Lyn Townsendalynt has created a collage for each episode, as well as banner pages.  So you can get some eye candy while you contemplate our opinions and put forth your own.  Here's where you'll find the goods:

The Essential Sentinel project on Dreamwidth  

The Essential Sentinel project on Live Journal

There was a lot of awesome episode discussion here last year--come get your TS juices flowing  again by playing with us.  And, while you're at it, if you haven't seen any of the Big Bang stories/artwork, check them out.  There's a wide variety that is sure to give you a satisfying TS *fix*.

I am and it's my first time ever going. I was wondering if anyone else who enjoys The Sentinel would be there. At the moment it looks like I'll be flitting between Star Trek and Tolkien. I couldn't find any event/get together for The Sentinel. Is there one? Or would anyone like to meet up to chat about them?

Hey everyone,

I'm new to this fandom. Very new. So new, that I have not, in fact, watched the series yet and I'm having a hard time finding any access to the second and third seasons. (I intend to get the first season from my library).
I know the sci fi channel will occasionally air the show, but I don't have cable.

So, basically, does anyone have suggestions of where else I could find and watch the rest of the seasons? (Preferably without getting any viruses, too)

I hope this post is allowed
And thanks a ton in advance everyone!

I'm watching "Rouge" right now on the marathon and has anyone ever noticed that
as Blair comes into the bull pen with Jack Kelso that Jim is on the phone
spelling a name? Well guess what name he spells out? He is spelling out K A H N.
That's his wife Lori's maiden name. I thought that was so cute. Love those
"little" fun moments in TS. Just wondering if anyone else ever noticed that.

Some fannish communities host posts to caption scenes from their shows for a bit of silly fun, and I thought it might be worthwhile trying that out here. Hopefully this is appropriate to this comm.

If people are interested I thought I might do this every fortnight, or else co-ordinate if other people would like to offer and host a cap too. For myself, I don't mind if captions are slash or gen. The more the merrier, and I have an idea for a caption so that this post will have at least one comment. :-)



This cap is from Rhianne's Hidden Muse screencaps, but linked from my own host, not hotlinked from her site.

I'm writing a fic, in which Jim visits St. Sebastian's. I have him walking "past the garden", but then went to StarFox's Mansion to get clues from the screen caps.

And now, I'm not sure it's a garden. It's a mostly-grassy area, with a few clumps of flowers, and crosses interspersed.

Visual evidence --

But I don't think it's a cemetery area for deceased monks; the crosses are too close together, and spread out randomly. It's fenced off, indicating people aren't supposed to walk through so, again, not a garden.

I'm stumped. Does anyone have any ideas what this little plot of land might be or signify? If I must, I'll keep calling it 'garden' (as in flowers instead of vegetables), but that doesn't feel quite right. I'd appreciate any speculation or suggestions.

UH SO. I've recently had cause to go searching for this absolutely hilarious episode guide of the Sentinel as Viewed Through Slash Goggles (And With Picture Evidence) that I was in the middle of reading and then got distracted from, and like a total idiot i apparently never bookmarked the site before I closed the window, and it was more than long enough ago that it is nowhere in my search history.

Help??? You will have my eternal adulation and gratitude if you can point me in its direction, I really loved it ;~;

Do you think Steven Ellison knows about his big brother's senses?

From "Remembrance", we know that William knew about his son's senses. But do we see anything in "His Brother's Keeper" that leads us to believe -- or suspect, or make a good argument -- that Steven also knows?

We can extrapolate that Jim started suppressing his senses after Bud's murder, when his father says, "Now you got to stop pretending or people are going to think you're a freak! You understand? Huh? Is that what you want? For people to think there's something wrong with you?" (Thanks to Becky's transcripts for the quote.)

Steven was several years younger than Jim; what do you think? Four? Five? He might once have noticed that his big brother did things other kids couldn't... but if he has any memory of that, I think it's likely he'd put it down to thinking his big brother could 'do anything'.

Did we see Steven in any other episode? I've looked down the list of titles, and I don't think so, but my memory can be erratic. Am I overlooking a key piece of dialogue that would give an indication one way or another?

Yes, I have an idea for a story, and I'd like to be sure I use any canon clues properly.

So... What does Steven know, or suspect, about his brother's abilities? Any thoughts?

It's been a while since the last discussion. Time to pick another ep from season three.

If only for the first scene, this is a great episode. There’s nothing as much fun as watching these guys at play. We see Jim and Simon teaching Blair the fine art of fly-fishing. Look at how cute the dialogue is:

I've very recently become a fan of The Sentinel through reading the fanfic, and was delighted to discover one of the satellite channels here in the UK is presently showing it (they're in the early part of Season 2).

Unfortunately the epsiodes are on just as I'm getting back from work, so although I'll try to record as many as possible to avoid missing the beginnings, I wondered if anyone could suggest what they consider are the most significant episodes over the four seasons in terms of the overall story arc and the development of the relationships between the main characters. That way I can make certain they're among the ones I record.

(By the way, I'm guessing from what I've read about them so far that "Sentinel Too" Parts 1 & 2 and "The Sentinel by Blair Sandburg" are definitely not to be missed)

I'm broadly familiar with the way the story develops over the four seasons from reading the fanfic so don't worry about spoilers on my account (though by all means add warnings for others reading this post if you think appopriate).

Also, does anyone have any recommendations for what they consider to be just really good episodes in themselves ?

Many thanks.

It's been a while since we did an episode discussion and I'd still like to stay in Season Three, so I picked this one.  I have to say it's not my one of my favoite episodes, nor is it among my least favorite.  So, first a quick summary.

So, now it's your turn.  What say you about this episode?
