Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Sentinel aired in the mid- to late 1990s on UPN. A cross between a Cop Show and Sci-Fi, it followed the life of Detective Jim Ellison and his civilian partner, Blair Sandburg.Ellison, the sentinel, has five heightened senses and a genetic predisposition to protect his tribe - in this case, the city of Cascade, Washington. Blair is an anthropologist who specialises in ancient cultures, specifically the mythic tribal watchmen of old, and has a predisposition to attract every psycho to set foot in Cascade. Blair acts as Jim's guide, teaching to use his senses and act like a half way nice guy. Jim acts unofficially as Blair's 'blessed protector' by keeping Blair from getting killed by the various psychos he attracts.Not to be confused with The Sentinel (1977) with Cristina Raines or The Sentinel (2006) movie starring Michael Douglas and Kiefer Sutherland.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Arbitrary Skepticism | |
| The Sentinel / int_13eea985 | comment |
Arbitrary Skepticism: For a psychic cop with an invisible spirit animal, Jim really doesn't like to hear about all the weird stuff Sandburg believes in. | |

Abusive Parents | |
| The Sentinel / int_b11ac9f5 | comment |
Abusive Parents: Jim's father, William, wasn't physically abusive, but he was manipulative and tended to think Jim was "strange" because of his Sentinel abilities. Having to compete with one's brother for season tickets or an overseas vacation really doesn't help the family dynamic, and his constant harangues over Jim "seeing things" is why Jim suppressed his enhanced senses until he was an adult - and why a psychic cop is so dismissive of Sandburg's countercultural lifestyle and research. | |

| The Sentinel / int_bc74ef27 | comment |
Berserk Button: Blair does not tolerate cheating, plagiarism, or you messing with his students. He jumped out of a helicopter after the last guy to do all three of those things, just to make sure the guy got to see the inside of a prison cell.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); }) | |
