Sanctuary

I know it's everly possible that it's just me and my indifference,

[spoiler]but they can't just kill my favorite character and expect me to be happy about it.[/spoiler]

I'll keep watching. I have hope that it will get better and maybe I'll come round to liking Kate (who knows), but right now I'm just a little disappointed. So what's everyone else thinking about Season 2 so far?

Having run it to the end now, I'm quite happy with what we got. I like a show that is prepared to do away with main cast and move on. Life/reality doesn't revolve about the same people doing the same thing year after year without consequences and TV needs to recognise that.

Whether the stories were as good as those of season 1 is a different question but one that I'd settle for a 'Yes' on. I think this season was more subtle, though, concentrating on differences and division within the Sanctuary network rather than some mystical external Cabal which I never felt was built up or explained enough for me. That maybe because I watched the entirity of season 1 across about three nights last year but, if anything, I would have though that should have helped.

Setting up the Sanctuary network as fragile and subject to an amount of infighting leaves us with some interesting possibilities for next season, including some complete changes in direction. I doubt it will go that far but I'm certainly interested to find out.

I've only just come on board this season/series so I can't give any opinion based on past episodes. The first episode of this season was quite good in my opinion and I haven't missed any episodes since.
I feel that the show has a great deal of potential with some interesting characters and possibilities for really good ongoing story lines. I really don't want to be negative, but I feel the writing could be better.
It's a good show and I do think it's entertaining and I will continue to watch. I just feel that with a little more effort it could be taken to a higher level and become a great show. If anyone disagrees with me please state why. I'm interested in hearing other opinions.

Season 3 is up and running over here (on a very odd channel - only heard about it from a tweet from Amanda Tapping!). They seemed to have predictably resolved the end of season 2 without too much hassle and so cleared the decks to a new story this year.

I hope for something slightly stronger than previously since I believe they have more time for it to play out this year.

The season seems to be going OK so far, watched two episodes today, but I'm not sure where it's going too.

Other than the ran up of last season, there seems to have been only stand alone stories so far. The last one had the first hint of what may be an arc but if that's where it's going I'd have hoped for a stronger start.

I'm behind on this one. Need to catch up sometime soon.

So am I. I'm kinda on the edge about even bothering though. A season later and I'm still angry...

You're probably not the only only one but I do think the series has settled into a new rhythm despite that event. Despite not going for a strong arc out of the blocks, I think I'm happier this year than I have been previously.

ElfManDan · November 17, 2010, 10:30:06 AM

I feel like the series has kinda gone down hill since the end of Season 1. All the multiframe scenes drive me nuts and I don't feel like the story or writing is as good. I think I'll keep watching for a bit, but I'm just not liking it as much anymore, so if I don't start liking it again I think I'm gonna call it quits.

I'm still very much enjoying "Sanctuary." They had an awesome episode last week that ended up being sort of a musical episode. For those not watching, Will's girlfriend Abby in the episode gets infected with a small parasite that only lets her understand you and communicate via song. I'll put a couple clips below. Reminded me a lot of the Buffy musical episode. If you haven't seen this series in awhile, give it a go. Still very enjoyable in my opinion.

It was a fun episode, reminded me of "Once More With Feeling" of course, andbim sure tat was the intention.

Latest episode was pretty good too, actually the series is great and the cgi has improved a lot over the years.

spaltor · December 02, 2011, 12:04:16 PM

Sanctuary has gone downhill for me. I'm annoyed by Will and Abby. The only character in the "present" timeline that I'm interested in is Henry, and his current situation has made many of his story lines like Will's of late. I'm much more interested in when they tell stories form the past, using Tesla and Watson.

Just my opinion, of course, but I'm losing interest. I hope that changes, because I liked this show a lot for a long time.

I usually don't like these kind of episodes but wow - Sanctuary on broadway was great

Feathers · March 11, 2012, 08:18:09 AM

Where is the latest season of this?

It must be all over in the US but I haven't heard even a sniff of it over here. (I must double check my Sky programme alerts).
