Sanctuary Pimp Post

I've fallen very much in love with Sanctuary and while usually I'm the last to jump on a bandwagon, not many people are watching Sanctuary, so I'm pimping it out a bit because it a great little show and more people should be watching it.

How I think to describe it is a mixture of Torchwood, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (the graphic novel ( Read more... )

Wait, what is this? What channel/station/country/time is it on? Because it sounds very interesting, but I've never heard of it before your post here...

There's not been that much buzz about it. It's a Canadian show made for the Sci-Fi network in the US and airs of Friday nights. So far eight of the thirteen episodes have aired.

OMG DID YOU SAY TESLA?!

This show seems really cool! I'm going to watch a couple of eps tonight. Do I need to start with the webisodes?

Yep XD And there are death ray jokes.

I haven't seen them myself. The first through to third episodes are recreations of the webisodes (sometimes using the same footage) so you won't miss any vital information, but I've heard they're good.

As someone who's seen the webisodes when they first hit the web, I think it's better not to watch them first, if you plan on watching the series. Most of the story lines and backgrounds are changes in a big way. And for the pilot "Sanctuary for all" and especially the ep after that "Fata Morgana" I found myself spending too much time comparing the differences and similarities between the old and the new, and too little time actually enjoying what I was watching, which was kinda annoying.

Anyway, just MHO, and you can always watch the webs after you've seen the episodes, after all they were lots of fun. :)

Cool post. I agree with just about everything you wrote there. (Except I would replace Fata Morgana with Folding Man as an OK ep :p)

And props to you for pimping out the show. It sure deserves it. :D

Thanks :D

Fata Morgana had the two massive fight scene with the crazy skull things which put it just above Folding Man for me, but they're both sadly not as good as all the other episodes.

If I didn't love the show for many other reasons, I'd totally tune in just to see what Helen's wearing.
