Sanctuary

Is anyone watching this new show? I missed its premier, but I am catching the last hour right now. Is it my imagination or does the black wig on Amanda Tapping make her look like Xena The Warrior Princess or what!!!!!!!!!!!

I am caught up with True Blood on HBO. I am finding it TRASHY and lacking in the light heartedness that characterize the books. How do the rest of your feel about this new show?

We recorded Sanctuary, and have not had a chance to watch it yet. Same for this week's episode of True Blood.

I think what we are seeing is what happens when Hollywood meets print and tries to make something more sensationalized out of it.

I like it so far, it does seem to be more out there especially the parts with Jason being such a ho. LOL

Jason is a ho all right, to the point of being too stupid to live.
I agree with you regarding Hollywood's attempt to super-sensationalize the material they take from print. Hollywood is a visual medium but print needn't be. Print doesn't rely entirely on action to advance a story. It has the mental gymnastics of the characters too. Print can turn thoughts to actions and actions have consequences. Film is hampered by not being able to visualize thoughts. I know that sex sells, but I do wish film didn't cater to sex so often.

Yeah that scene from the latest episode outside the bar with him was a bit over the top. I don't even remember that in the book. LOL Though it has been a long time since I read book one.

Clif was MAD when it ended (the final scene). He wanted to get Charlaine Harris on the forum for a chat about it. LOL

He's not read the books, and I am not telling him anything. Or at least trying not to. So, it is interesting to see his reaction from an outside point of view.

I am still bummed they got rid of moonlight. I actually enjoyed that show. :(

I don't like the black wig and am not sure about her accent, sounds kinda haughty to me. I am still reserving judgement , its no Stargate: Atlantis ( which they will be so sorry that they cancelled.)

I haven't seen Trueblood because I don't have HBO. But I have seen Santuary. The premier doesn't differ much from the first two webisodes on U-Tube if you can still find them. There are a few differences but not many. The weapons dealer is different and his childhood experiences differ but the rest is the same. I like it. It kind of reinds me of Special Unit Two. It was about legendary beings as well but it was more of a comedy and wasn't nearly as dark.

I hope this helps. :-)
