I think it's a shame Sanctuary got canceled but at least a Farscape wasn't pulled on them where the show got renewed for a 5 season and then canceled.
It would be nice if they did get a miniseries down the road like Farscape did but in Sanctuary's case it would be nice if was a 3 part series so MW, AT, DK would all have a chance to direct a part of it. A miniseries because I too wasn't totally satisfied with ending as there are some questions I'd like answered:
Are Druitt, Biggie and/or Gregory Mangus dead or alive?
Can abnormals go up to the surface if they wanted to like Henry or Tesla?
but if a miniseries doesn't happen then the fate of Biggie and Druitt and anything else we might have wanted to know or see, so that it would have canon, wasn't meant to be. I know there probably a great chance we won't get a miniseries but I like to think there's a small chance.

It's hard for them to do because ad sponsored shows are dependant on that revenue. They may measure and get some revenue (minimal) from people watching from their website BUT Hulu revenue and iTunes go to the production companies. So, it's difficult for them the 'catch up' with the times.
I'm wondering if there is another way to guage audience numbers others than the old way - given todays technology, I would hope they would be able to figure this one out. Any brainiacs out there with an idea how we can do this????"Live Peace - Speak Kindness - Dwell in Possibility"

The biggest advertising models are still on broadcast. Yes, websites can keep track of who's watching, but it's not that easy. There are people like me that run adblock on a continual basis, there is the belief (and I can't say that it's wrong) that internet viewerships are easily forged and tricked. Couple that with invasions of privacy to track said internet viewers and the itsy bitsy ad rates for internet ads.....you have old school execs that only trust set and proven means of viewership and measurement, you have a generation that hates ads with a passion and will do anything to block and avoid them and that leads to tiny ad rates (advertisors want to get the most views with the least amount of money.....always want a bargain, or their money's worth at least) and online ads are simply not profitable and dependable.
Networks can charge thousands or hundreds of thousands for an on air ad, hundreds for an ad on the website if not less.

I think that it wouldn't matter what system was used, you'd still have an element of fandom running around saying the system is broken because it's not giving them the results they think it should; just like they are now.-

Originally posted by Steff View PostRumor Control: Snow Patrol did not obtain and leak the info before the people of Sanctuary knew of the cancellation. They where informed several days before. MAD told the cast and crew over the weekend. They just didn't tweet till the information was released to the public. Sanctuary and the people of Syfy have been very close through this 4 year adventure. You will never hear anything but friendship between them.

Sam's life takes a turn in an unexpected direction when she's faced with an unplanned pregnancy. The decision to keep the baby and raise it on her own will alter her life forever. Relationships are put to the test, especially the one between her and Jack. She doesn't know what to expect from him and he surprises her at every turn.
