Weekly Promotion Challenge: The Sentinel (Television Show)
Welcome to the twenty-first Weekly Fandom Promotion Challenge.
( What this is about. )
Fandom Name: The Sentinel (Television Show)
Fandom Level: General
Pairing: Anyone/Anyone
A Brief Description: 1995/96 gave the United States a new network, and brought with it new shows. Among those was a little heard of, at the time, but soon proved to be a cult hit for the fans called 'The Sentinel'. The show is based around a police detective, Jim Ellison, who was born with the ability to heighten his senses that would manifest when he was older, when they were needed. Blair Sandburg, an Anthropology professor at a local college who has experience with Sentinel lore, becomes his friend and confidant, his Guide. Eventually, they even become partners of a sort.
The idea of a Sentinel is simple. A person would be born who would look after the tribe, be their protector. He or she, was endowed with their abilities to enhance this role. Jim, during a stint in South America while working for the U.S. government, came across a tribe of Amazonian Indians who required his assistance. This triggered his abilities the first time, and made it possible for him to rediscover them later.
Together, Jim and Blair work to learn more about Jim's nature and to master his abilities. Along the way, they put this relationship in to practice solving crimes.

Reward: All participants get this lovely
The Sentinel 'Jim/Blair' icon.
Jerry's Final Thought: Jim and Blair are unique in that they are one of the first duos that didn't hide the fact they cared about one another with pithy remarks and gruff bullshit. Well, at least Blair didn't. This lead to a massive fanbase both online and in the Con circuit. What this show lacked in subtlety, it made up for in sheer pluckiness.
If you have stories about this week's theme, feel free to share with us. All stories should be posted to the asylum, not as a reply to this post. Just think of this post as a notice on a bulletin board.

If I screwed any of it up, comment and I will correct.
