    Is this any good?

    I know that sounds like a weird question but I can only get a limited number of movies and shows at a time. I don't want to blow it on something I won't like. The Leo Awards don't tell me if the show is good or not, just that it is some bizarrely small category due to geography.

    It's ok. The last part of the season is better than the first. I liked it, but I don't know you well enough to tell you if you will or not.

      I love it. It's my fav show right now. Great stories, great characters, cool effects. Whether you will like it, is up to you. And you won't know until you try it.

        It is always a question of individual taste. BSG was nominated for many awards but, personally, I didn't like the show. I loved Stargate SG1, liked SGA and love Sanctuary. You will have to see it to judge for yourself. Where do you live? Is it on your local TV? Can you access the HULU broadcasts?

        Having said this, I do think the award nominations are a recognition of the quality of the show.

          I personally love it. It has "abnormals" in it basically creatures and vampires and stuff like that. But it isn't cheesy like some shows with creatures in it and a pretty good story line.

            I've loved Stargate since it first started but Sanctuary quickly became my fav show. It doesn't have the budget of a lot of the mainstream shows so it's quite not as flash as them, but they use what they have brilliantly. If you remember that I think people will be suprised. They manage to pack a lot of story in each episode.

              Damn, I just have to take a chance then. The other guys are pissed I locked away season three of SG-1 and they need more Tapping. It may come down to how hot she looks in it.

              The basic problem stems from the fact I'm in Afghanistan right now. So with only 20min sessions of internet I'm pretty much screwed on the hulu <Mod snip>.

                i'd say she looks hotter in sanctuary than SG1, she has a long dark hair thing going on. and she dresses much more femininely

                  I must agree. I always liked her but never found her all that attractive until I saw Sanctuary.

                    I agree. They made Sam more of a tomboy in SG1 while Helen is more of what would be considered an "average" female. Which I think helps contributes to making her more attractive.

                      I'm sure the guys will find her hot.

                      Keep safe.

                        Try the pilot. If you like it than you'll like the series, if not than you won't. If you're interested in it and on Gateworld I bet you'll like it.


                        BTW, Thank-you for your service!

                          Ah ha! I got lucky, one of the logistics guys just got in the First Season of Sanctuary and I managed to get it off him (I had to trade him my best adult entertainment though )

                          So anyway I wanted to surprise the guys because I was stuck doing paperwork (ARG!!!!) but I had gotten through it faster than I thought (thank you masters degree). I decided to watch the Pilot episode to see. IT SUCKED AHHH, I was so dead! But as I faced my execution I decided to just keep watching the episodes unfold like a condemned man watches the recording of his execution. Then the other guys came back from their escort (apparently it sucked, 3 stacked Russian Anti-tank mines maybe a crappy idea but it causes a big bang when it goes off) and were edgy and hyped on adrenaline. It had just gotten to the 5th episode and as I stared at the screen I realized that it was pretty cool. By the time we made it to the Mermaid blender of Ep 9 they were all like "Dude this show is sick!" Unfortunately sand got into the DVD player due to a certain clumsy asian and now we cant see episodes 12-13. All in all a great series once it got to the 5th episode and Amanda and her daughter are hot enough to placate the eye-candy requirements of the day.

                          And Tesla is the coolest villain ever, seriously, even the cheesy turn-my-face-when-you-try-to-kiss-me-on-the-cheek was funny. We were all like "No way <Snipped by Mod>" when Druitt killed him.

                          Oh and before I forget NOBODY WARNED ME ABOUT AMANDA'S TERRIBLE ACCENT! A few of the Royal Marines came in while we were watching and were like "What's this expletive expletiving American expletive expletive in adverb form doing trying to act all British and what!" I'm afraid we sold out and told them she was Canadian and they left to bother the poor Van-Doos about their "Expletived Canuck Expletives."

                            There is a whole thread devoted to her accent - take a look at what everyone has said. http://forum.gateworld.net/showthread.php?t=62812

                            Personally I like it. You have to remember she was raised in victorian times and her accent is based on that mixed with changes from living in other countries and time.
