I am very happy they made this episode. First, I was so afraid that they will do as many other shows after removing major char: they just move on. I really liked they gave it whole episode to sort things out and even with that, I hope this was not the end.

I love the way this episode in it's more serious storyline reflected Magnus and her feelings and the way she had to cope with it. Having Ashley appearing for her all the time - the way they portrayed her pain, her lost and the hope she had inside her.. that Ashley is still there. That was so painful, so powerful and very well played out.

Contrasts to Magnus not-giving-up attitude, I liked how the portrayed Druit's way of dealing with it. After they are sure they cannot do anything for Ashley anymore, those two are back to their usual way of communicating but I really hope they will figure out the way to keep Druit around.. and I really hope Tesla will get some more screentime as his char really made some huge process in last 2 episodes. Anyway.. Druit.. Instead of trying to figure out any way to deny what happened, he is after the people he feels were responsible and the last scene in the end, that was promising.

And Will.. even thought he had major loss too, he is forced to be the strong one for Magnus and moral compass, not letting her go too far with her seek for hope. And those two had some really great scenes and dialoge.

But the other storyline.. with that Freelander and Henry.. I do not know. If I could choose between Kate and Ashley.. I think Ashley would be my choice with no thinking. I do not like chance in cast and I see no reason to replace Ashley.. And in this episode, Kate really did not managed to break trough and somehow she looks like she was brought in to add some fun or.. but it is not working.. I think

But overall.. Magnus storyline.. Druit way of dealing with it.. Will as a moral compass.. It all created amazing story and the end.. And some really interesting camera work in this episode too.. I really liked this one.moreless

Eulogy was a perfect and entertaining episode because it was a humanistic look at how Magnus would deal with the situation as well as John. I thought it was great how Will tried to keep Helen on sane terms. This episode was full of emotional and character driven scenes. There were many interesting interactions between the characters during these difficult times. It was interesting to see how differently John and Magnus handled themselves. This episode touches upon the Spiritual Realm, and has many interesting implications. I really enjoyed the flash backs. I look forward to watching the next episode of Sanctuary!!!!!!!moreless

Druitt killing off the Cabal, boy, would I have loved to see more of that... It's alright though, knowing it is rewarding enough. I hated the Cabal and especially Diana, she was so obnoxious. Good riddance.

Magnus' attempt to discover traces of Ashley in the EMP field were touching, far fetched but also completely understandable. How could she rest unless she knew she had done everything in her power to eliminate all the possibilities? I suppose in the next episodes we will observe how she comes to terms with her loss, and how the Sanctuary network gets back on its feet after such a heavy blow.

It seems new additions to the team have been made, Kate has decided to stay and also the guy from the Beijing Sanctuary. Will be nice to see some new faces mingle with the old ones. Now that Clara is gone I suppose sooner or later a new love interest for Will will present itself. The whole Sanctuary endeavor is starting to acquire some depth after these first episodes, Helen's mission is becoming clearer to the viewer, more understandable than ever after the realization that she practically sacrificed her daughter to protect the abnormals under her care. They are her family too, and she genuinely cares about them.moreless

A return to some of the earlier episodes and exciting things that go bump in the night.

***** Major Spoilers *****

Will Magnus is hidden away in her study looking for Ashley and Druitt and Tesla are destroying the Cabal the rest of the team is trying to rebuild the Sanctuary.

Ark-Fong Li played by Hiro Kanagawa from the Beijing Sanctuary has arrived with hundreds of abnormals that need a place to stay. Will, Henry, and Bigfoot are tasked with figuring out how to solve some of those problems. Kate is ready to leave, but Will tells her she is welcome to stay, but then she starts finding valuable things to take and sell and she's ready to run.

There are a pair of rare creatures who died defending one of the Sanctuary's and their bodies are in stasis. Kate wants their tusks as they are worth millions. She breaks the stasis on the female one and out pops a bundle of joy. The rest of the story of Henry and Kate tracking it down is worth the time to take and see it. Some nice scary and funny endearing moments. It looks like Kate is her to stay for a while.

Magnus is searching for Ashley and in this episode she exhausts many different ideas. Her journey is amazing in itself and revolves around some remembrances from the past. It certainly is very interesting and we learn something about Magnus that maybe we didn't know before.

Overall I feel this is what some people had maybe been waiting for that were upset or unhappy with the first few episodes. This was definitely a return to the Sanctuary. It will be fun to watch the dynamics and the rebuilding of the house. Thanks for reading...moreless

somthing about this show never ceases to amaze me. chris heyerdahl could be given no lines in an episode and still show all his emotion and inner feelings. i can never get over how good he is, especialy working with amanda tapping. I'm not sure about the ashley storyline, maybe she's dead, maybe not. it works with the interaction of magnus and druitt, but on the whole the storyline has been done to death, especially with main characters. The writing and directing keep being 1st rate, the green and blue screen work is absoloutley fantastic.
working on such a small budget, almost exclusivley on a green screen. Especially when you consider what they have to imagine they are seeing and interacting with. how they do that without laughing histerically every 2 seconds is beyond me.moreless
