♥♥Sanctuary → Helen and Adam » Mercy in Darkness♥♥

Another Quotes vid... wow. I didn't think I had it in me to do these sorts of emotional and well-meaning, types of things...

This is, for those who don't know already, Helen Magnus and Adam Worth from the TV show Sanctuary. I personally adore the show and find it to be in-depth, well-thought-through and it tackles important issues.
The best part of it is that there's this constant, subtle (and not so subtle) air of not judging others, no matter how they act, think or feel. "Sanctuary for all" indeed.

But, whilst that's the brilliant thing about the show and what the characters constantly do, there are the darker parts of our human behaviour which is explored and studied, quite in-depth as well. And I think that one of the major story arcs which shows this is the 'Worth Storyline'.

Adam Worth is a mad consumed by pain and grief which has turned to cold, hard anger; and it's aimed at the world, but especially at Helen. I hope that this video highlights that fact as best it can because, I don't think Adam was born a monster but made into one when his daughter died; and he subsequently blamed Helen for Imogen's death.

Basically, what I want this video to show is the dynamic between the two of them; Adam's daughter died, Helen's daughter died. The first time around, Imogen died because Helen refused to inject her with source blood; Ashley died because of the source blood. The second time around, Imogen died because Adam was blinded by hate and anger and his shot missed Helen...

It's sad and kind of heart-breaking but I think I have to feel more for Helen in all of this than for Worth; or Praxian-bug-Worth as the case is. Helen's the one who's lived longer and hasn't been able to change anything about her life; she could have saved Ashley but she didn't because it would have changed the time-line even more than Imogen's changed death did... and that's always going to haunt Helen. She didn't save her own daughter when she could have, and the only thing she can say to justify such a thing is; it's for the greater good.

No matter whether or not you watch this show - which you totally should because it's fantastic - you have to agree when I say.... this video is awesome isn't it? :p
