Robin is funny and does good impressions, however, that is Robin to me and not Will. Yes, the character should grow over the span of the show but certain characteristics just never resonated with me as Will's characteristics. Amanda can be goofy but they never made Helen goofy. Certain things, to me, just never fit the character of Will. That is not to say it was right or wrong but from a personal perspective it made me think it was more Robin playing Will than believing it was the character of Will.

As has been much discussed, I am sorry to hear about Sanctuary's cancellation. When talking in the Stargate Universe threads, it seemed like HBO had a winning model for scripted programming: no advertising, watch when you want, and pay a subscription.
I suppose it's old fashioned in a way: I looked forward to a weekly show about heroes and villains, and interesting ideas, without being too dark or gritty. Isn't it natural for a show to lose viewership over time? I live in Canada, so I get the Space channel, but it's too bad that Space, Syfy and Sky (UK?) could not share the cost of scripted programming and share money from dvd, merchandising rights.
There's a lot of scifi series such as the New BSG, Star Trek DS9, Babylon 5, Stargate (SG1 and SGA), that got a good run and a fair degree of closure. I think Sanctuary ended on a great note, though, because I can't see abnormals being accepted on the Surface. Dr. Magnus built a kind of ideal new-Praxis, better than the police state of the Ranna's city, so perhaps one day the abnormals would indeed rise to help and educate the Surface dwellers, and live among them freely. - Dean

- If there's money down the road and the people on the show are willing do something more for the show, like a made for tv movie or 3 part miniseries, then there will be even more Sanctuary to discuss and maybe Sanctuary will get new fans out it.
Look at Farscape, the show got canceled on a cliffhanger and got a miniseries and graphic novels among other things. Sure Sanctuary didn't get canceled on a cliffhanger but I'd like to think it will have the same luck as Farscape.
When I heard about Sanctuary's cancellation, back when it was announced, it made me want to keep my Sanctuary RPG going more than ever.
In a nutshell: the fans keeping their interest in the show, MAD and the cast willing to do more and money down the road for Sanctuary to do more.
When the rewatch for the show happens down the road here on Gateworld someone could post about the rewatch on the official Sanctuary face book page and the section at SYFY forums and get people discussing it all over again not just here but those places as well.

I think it's a valid universe and show with interest in it, but given the economic climate, networks don't have much money for 'risky' propositions, they want sure bets. unscripted junk is a sure bet - and a less risky one since they're so cheap.
I can see a reboot of sanctuary some day, but it's like Stargate, not any time soon.
We get back into a boon economy with enthusiasm and positive vibes and they start looking for new shows to pitch, i can see reboots of both of them being possible.

WHR is still hopeful, and I'd like to thank Chelle for being there with us the other night. Her voice is so cute.

As a fandom, definitely, there are still many fans worldwide interested in fanfic, rewatches, etc. I can even see some fan-made graphic novels/novels being made down the line.

I could write volumes on why I'd love that, but we all know.

Originally posted by Rocky89 View PostWHR is still hopeful, and they want to see how PNW does. My best friend still has faith, and I do hope Amanda talks about it at the expo. I also see people tweeting Space about picking the show up.

And no channel, not even Space, can pick up a show that's not even being produced.
Like I said, unfortunately no funds = no show, but that doesn't mean we still can't enjoy the series. Anyone still up for that rewatch discussion mentioned a while back? I've been wanting to watch season 3.0 again.
