Sanctuary Discussion (Spoilers for the most recent episode)

[SunKrux]

like lagavulin and two cubes of ice, it makes no sense to have one without the other.

I don't know about scotch...but guns I do know a bit about. I do know enough to make sure if you're giving a gift of a gun you do at least provide the first round of ammo. Not everyone would know that, ya know.

*sends James a virtual lagavulin & two cubes of ice...in a glass since he'd get all wet and that would waste the scotch

[SunKrux]

See how he brings it back to scotch?

There's a fine line between idiocy and genius. This man has it all sussed out.

He has it sussed out alright. He's skating that fine line all the time.

My parents are so cool!!!

Last night they took me shopping for mp3 players cos since my eye operations I can't read very well and they thought I might like to be able to take my audiobooks with me on holidays. Long story short - Dad just turned up with a video mp3 player that he wanted me to check out cos he thought that I might as well get video too so I could put that net thingy on it.

The what? I asked
You know that new thing you watch on the internet, the one with Sam with dark hair and the mob from Stargate.
Oh, you mean Sanctuary!!!!!!

So now (after Christmas) I get to carry around Sanctuary with me and I can show people what it is rather than try to explain. Hopefully I'll be able to see well enough to watch stuff on it but if not, no worries, I can put a whole heap of audio books on it as well as share Sanctuary with others

Cool Dad!

Thanks for the answers, but it doesn't tell us much!! I presume there is a heck of a lot involved in setting up production. I hope we hear soon. We keep being told that we will hear soon -- so I hope it is so!!

Glad to know Amanda's favorite starbucks drink though!

I know, and it's pains me not to be able to tell y'all more but lots of stuff is hinging on a bunch of negotiations with various entities, this is the not so entertaining part of entertainment as it were. They are all interconnected for the most part so I can't really commit to one without knowing about them all.
Tis the grunt work to get the green light, but when we do get the green light, you can expect me to be letting you know asap.

Thanks James. I know that sometimes with negotiations talking about them in any aspect while they are on going could potentially cause problems for them, right? Like leaking information (not that I would ever ask you to) is a big no no and can break a deal. I'm just trying to help folks better understand why you're not able to give more info than you have already given.

btw, how was that virtual scotch I gave you?

[majorsal]

6- what's amanda favorite starbucks drink? (had to throw that in again )

She talking about Xmas blend when she arrived here this morning.

thanks, james!

That sounds promising. Sure hope you get the details worked out. I'm looking forward to the further adventures of Helen Magnus. It's been so long since we've seen her...sigh.

yes!

if i wasn't so busy with buying christmas gifts, i'd be going on a magnusorgy and rewatching all the weps.

and what's with ppl expecting you to wrap gifts too??? i mean, isn't buying them enough!




sally


*thoughts: wonders what amanda likes in her christmas blend coffee? what size does she prefer? how about lattes? frappicchinos? has she tried the holliday season gingerbread and pumpkin spice lattes or peppermint mocha? should tell her NOT to try the cranberry bliss bar. it's orgasmic in taste but VERY fattening. (sure glad these are my private thoughts and not published)*

hi, james,

can you answer this? how long does it take to make one wep? or really what i'm trying to find out; if amanda's going to do another season of atlantis, will she have time to film the weps *before* going back to filming stargate? or will she be doing both at the same time?




sally

[Myrth]

I will expect a flurry of excitedly waving bunny ears sir

Meanwhile I've been wondering, would abnormals subscribe to the tradition of Christmas? I mean is there a messiah to the underworld as it were? Or have they come up with their own traditions? I can't imagine the sleigh gets down to the mer-people that easily....... *wanders off to continue pondering this ultra important point*

we're making the presumption that the sanctuary world is parallel enough to ours to share the same religions and holidays

and it might not

Indeed. Helen and Ashley could be Nine Day Wonderers who celebrate the Day of Farf.

But then again, perhaps not...

We did the shooting for the first eights weps over the course of January of this year. so, the math works out to 15 mins of footage a week.

I have no idea what the scheduling logistics are but I'm pretty sure that time will be made if it needs to be to get everything done.

[Skydiver]

i would GUESS that, if/when she signs for s5, AT puts into her contract provisions to give her time off for Sanctuary.

Which is quite common, for actors to make both thier 'bosses' know when they are working multiple jobs and have them work things out to what is the best for all.

[Myrth]

That was my point, could be fun to come up with holidays for the residents of the Sanctuary to celebrate.
