Anyone here watched the initial episodes for Sanctuary yet? It was split up into a bunch of 15 minute webisodes for distribution. You can watch them online for free, or download a higher quality for a fee:

Sanctuary Home

Put the webisodes together, and you get basically the first two hour long episodes of a cool new series, both setting up plenty of further things to explore deeper in a complete season if the show continues.

This is exactly the sort of show I want networks to pick up.

For those who've not heard of it, its got something of a fantasy "monster of the week" element to it, ala Buffy the Vampire Slayer, although our heroine and team appear to both slay and rescue their monsters.

As yet, the initial two hours available for download are all that have been filmed. Further episodes hopefully will come next year.
 
yay! Scifi channel has ordered a 13-episode season for Sanctuary. Production begins in March, so I'd think this means we'll see it on the air this upcoming fall. Canadian rights also seem to support that schedule.
 
I was not too impressed with the first show. But, I will give it a few more to see what they do with it. I may as well give it a chance since BSG and SGA are ending. Maybe having SciFi HD will not be that important next year.
 
Sanctuary

That was the slowest two hours I ever sat through. I must admit Amanda Tapping looks better as a brunette. Otherwise, pretty weak, IMHO.
 
Well, considering the pilot showed us a mermaid and they mentioned werewolves (and witches coming up this Friday), I'm sure we'll see vampires at somepoint (unless that's what the "bad guy" was, which is what I'm thinking). Sounds like every weird myth (dragons, anyone?) will be fully exploited in the 13 episodes ahead.

And SGA gets cancelled...man, something is just wrong at SciFi...
 
Painful. Poor CG and Amanda Tapping with a fake accent. Crappy writing and characters. Predicatable--Helen to her daughter - don't go out tonight blah blah daughter goes anyway -anti climactic ending.
 
They really need to improve. Of course since they have killed all their other shows off there will be nothing else to watch soon.
 
Not too fake of an accent since she was born in England, lived there until three then Canada. I thought it sounded pretty mild.

Mildly fake, My Mother is British and I know an accent when I here one. It was almost New Zealandish and then the Jack the Ripper scene :rolleyes:
 
Finished the 2nd episode.I did not realize this was a web cast show the first time around. 2007
Interesting The actor that played "jack the ripper" is the same guy that plays Todd the wraith in SG Atlantis. I am pretty sure that he is also playing the Bigfoot character too,but no credits list who plays bigfoot. But the voice is unmistakable.
 
weak weak weak... Painful to watch... slow as hell... not that I have been to hell but I think hell will be much interested than sanctuary... maybe they should move sanctuary to hell...

I couldn't even get through the first episode. Even the beautiful Amanda couldn't draw me into the show.
