The Sentinel’s Gratuitously Detailed Episode Guide by Zelempa (Adult)

Fandom: THE SENTINEL
Pairing: none, but a lot of innuendo of Jim/Blair 
Length: series: medium size for each episode
Author on LJ: [personal profile] zelempa
Author Website:  http://www.merples.com/index.shtml
Why this must be read:   Because these put the *crack* in your viewing pleasure! 
 
Okay, admit it. You’ve watched the show with equal parts affection and smirkiness. Each episode has at least one plot hole you could drive a Ford truck through *and* at least one remark that makes you wonder where these guys are on the Kinsey scale. This episode guide is right up your alley. Like a cross between Fractured Fairy Tales and Sports Central, you have a ring-side seat with in-depth analysis delivered with tongue firmly planted in cheek.
 
Reminiscent of [personal profile] joandarck’s The Gayest Show on Earth, Zelempa happily points out the touching and the subtext. She goes well beyond to identify the continuity gaffes and cheesy plots, but also provides insightful analysis. Underneath it all, you hear her love for the show and the characters. She points out why we continue to love The Sentinel, warts and all, more than 12 years after it first aired.
 
I could quote something from every episode, but I’ll invite you instead to just start with your favorite and work through them all. You’ll be chuckling, nodding and saying “Awwwww” before you know it.
 
And there’s pictures too!!

After you finish grinning, do send the author some feedback!

Add me to those who are greatly enjoying this guide. I have only ever watched Season 1 of TS since it is the only one out on DVD. *grumble* But, it is still one of my favorite fandoms. Today I have been watching the episodes I recorded from SciFi earlier this week while simultaneously checking [livejournal.com profile] zelempa's recaps/reviews and checking out missing scenes from 852 Prospect (http://www.852prospect.org/archive/) and Cascade Library (http://tslibrary.skeeter63.org/missing-scenes1.htm). Sublime!
