This is my "go to" list for converting people to Sanctuary. You don't really need to read it. Unless you are not watching Sanctuary, in which case you need to read it and then go and watch the episodes.

No real spoilers, just cut for a list.

Sanctuary For All (I and II)
Kush
The Five (!!!)
Requiem
Revelations (I and (II)

End of Nights (I and II)
Eulogy (optional, but Amanda Tapping is just AMAZING)
Hero (optional, but I adore Kate and Declan)
Pavor Nocturnus (optional, but Amanda Tapping is just AMAZING)
Veritas (optional, but not only is Amanda Tapping just AMAZING, Declan is in it and this episode features one of Helen's "best" "plans")
Sleepers
Haunted

The Bank Job (optional, see above re: adoring Kate)
Trail of Blood
Animus
Breach
For King and Country
Vigilante
Hollow Men
Pax Romana (just to cap off the arc)
Awakening
Normandy
Carentan
Out of the Blue
Into the Black

Yes, I am recommending four episodes I haven't seen yet, based on my assumption that they cannot possibly suck.

A few notes:

1. I have a couple other posts about why you should watch Sanctuary. You can find them in my manifesto tag or my meta tag.

2. I was as surprised as you were when I discovered that my third favourite character on the show was a freaking vampire.

3. The above list is ENTIRELY biased by the fact that I'm madly in love with a bunch of Victorian mad scientists. Even when they scare me. Even when they are VAMPIRES. *sighs*

3a. You should probably watch the Kali arc at the end of season two which, though it does not feature Victorian Shenanigans, sets up season three. And features an absolutely stunning Bollywood dance number. As you do.

3b. I kind of hate the first season episode "Nubbins", but it has two FABULOUS lines in it that might make it worthwhile if you love Henry.

4. The only really important lesson that you ABSOLUTELY need to get from Sanctuary is that Helen Magnus is kind of the best thing ever.

Did I forget anything?

The Kali arc? Not my 100% favorite, but important to the overall arc of the series. (superabnormals etc)

[grav-ity.livejournal.com]

I was just editing to add that...

[lanna-kitty.livejournal.com]

Your enabling abilities are way better than mine. XD Clearly you learned at the feet of irony_rocks

I should post a "these are the facts" page for my own Kiss Kiss Bang Bang since I have folks on my flist who don't watch either Castle or Sanctuary and therefore dont understand the complete and total awesome of James being Castle's father

[grav-ity.livejournal.com]

THAT IS SO AWESOME MY BRAIN IS STILL REELING FROM THE AWESOMENESS OF IT.

As far as I'm concerned, it's CANON.

[lanna-kitty.livejournal.com]

I KNOW FOR REALS!!!!!!!

Kaitlia and I were chatting and emailing and thats totally a thing in my fic too :D but it's so awesome how we're both handling it is totally different and both totally awesome and omg I love this idea and her fic made me SQUEE SO MUCH.

[grav-ity.livejournal.com]

I told eldanna about your fic for this in order to get her to sign up for the Big Bang, and now she's pissed that she has to wait. ;)

I enable well!

(Also, I posted the episodes because it's probably fast than a "the facts are these" post.)

[lanna-kitty.livejournal.com]

ahahahaa well im hurrying up and writing it and I thinkver 2.0 of my outline is better than ver 1.0 :D

(fair enough except I can describe who people are in a few words and it will take 5 min to read it vs. watching several 40 minute episodes that must be acquired somehow ;) )

[grav-ity.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I may have exaggerated a little bit...;)

[shadadukal]

My list would actually be quite different...

[grav-ity.livejournal.com]

Do tell!

[shadadukal]

I'll make a post. I need to convert people to Sanctuary too. ;)

[grav-ity.livejournal.com]

Is it telling that about 30 minutes ago I thought "I could go to bed and get up early tomorrow" and then I thought "But then I won't know what Shada thought of my post!" ;)

[shadadukal]

Whatever would you do if I didn't wake up so early? :P

[grav-ity.livejournal.com]

Die of boredom, probably.

[shadadukal]

Finally done with my list: http://shadadukal.livejournal.com/500680.html

[grav-ity.livejournal.com]

And I am nearly done writing Kate!fic. :)

[shadadukal]

Huzzah!

[grav-ity.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it's definitely a win/win. :)

[mylittleredgirl.livejournal.com]

Bookmarked! Though I PROMISE NOTHING BECAUSE VAMPIRES. ACK.

[grav-ity.livejournal.com]

He's a very un-vampirey vampire. I'm trying to remember if we've ever seen him bite anyone...and aside from his very first episode, I'm not even sure he's shed anyone's blood.

[mylittleredgirl.livejournal.com]

Vampires SHED BLOOD!? WTF IS THIS?

OH MAN THEY ARE LIKE TEN TIMES GROSSER THAN I ALREADY THOUGHT.

BUNNICULA IS THE ONLY VAMPIRE I LOVE.

[grav-ity.livejournal.com]

I meant he's never attacked anyone and drawn blood.

I really can't be relied upon to make sense right now. But Nikola Tesla (historical) was fastidious and extremely obsessed with hygiene, and this one is too. He'd much rather mock you to death than bite you.

[mylittleredgirl.livejournal.com]

NIKOLA TESLA WAS A VAMPIRE!?

I'M NOT SURE I CAN TAKE ANY MORE RIGHT NOW.

[grav-ity.livejournal.com]

You and me both.
