You just can't keep Helen Magnus from a goal once she sets her mind to it. No on knows that better than Will Zimmerman. In the Nov. 18 episode, "Icebreaker," Helen (Amanda Tapping) flies with Will (Robin Dunne) into a snowy, stormy area of the Bering Sea where Henry (Ryan Robbins), Declan (Robert Lawrenson) and his team from the UK Sanctuary are stranded on a shipwrecked icebreaker. "Icebreaker," written and directed by Martin Wood, looks like one of those classic, trapped-in-a-tight-space "Sanctuary" adventures.

Sadly, it's here. The 2012 Major League Baseball season preview, Chicago edition. Look, no sugarcoating here, so let's break it down. This is going to be awful on many levels. Bad up north, bad down south. Cubs first. I'm inclined to go easy on these guys for attempting the impossible. Yes, they are overhauling the entire franchise, gutting it from top to bottom, flushing out all of the bad attitudes, karma and talent that doesn't belong. People, this is a monumental job. It's the athletic equivalent of overhauling the U.S. Tax Code, and just as painful.
