Sanctuary Discussion (Spoilers for the most recent episode)

[SunKrux]

I'm not sure why some people think it wasn't clear that Clara was Griffin's granddaughter. They went looking for his daughter Anna Griffin and found her daughter. That's pretty clear.

Crystal clear if you ask me. I really don't like when shows talk down to me. I think it's kind of insulting that PTB MAY think fans aren't as smart as I know most of us are. That's just me.

How'd you get that idea?

I think MW is using components of both a) and b) in that perhaps he knows his audience has differing levels of understanding plot lines

I think if you read her post again you'll see she didn't actually point that statement at the Sanctuary folks...it's more her own observation and opinion of what MAY happen on any given show.
Having said that, if it is indeed true that MW does in fact perceive his audience as having different levels of understanding...which to be fair is more than logical and probable...than perhaps some PTB at Sanctuary have a point. Hey...I mean, who the hell am I to say anything....I'm no bright star you know! And I'm gonna shut up before I really put my foot in it!

It looks like they'll be starting filming soon. After the Olympics perhaps??

I guess I didn't word my post right, I know she wasn't talking about our PTB, I was just asking how she sees those things about other shows. Like you said.

For the second week in a row, Sanctuary will be competing with the Olympics. First the Opening Ceremonies, now a gold medal curling game and men's hockey semi-finals. What were the programmers thinking when they took a break????

Aren't you the one who told me the benefits of having a mid-season break?

Programmers: "How can we differentiate ourselves from the rest of the pack and go down in history as major morons?"

That's just it EH-T...they don't think...they're total freaks that should be locked in the Shoe! Go figure...how can such idiots actually be employed to do that job when clearly a five year old could do better. Boggles the mind.

Possibly that Sci Fi fans don't like sport....which is silly and forgets that people don't fit into nice neat little boxes.

They tend to boil everything down to demographics based on polls. The polls usually are between 500 and 1000 people and that is supposed to represent millions. As you said they forget that people don't all fit into these boxes. if they realized this maybe there wouldn't be so many good shows getting canceled.
