Also, the "behind the scenes" stuff that SciFi had been advertising were indeed just clips from the video already on the site.

As for the reruns, I was over exaggerating by like, double, but usually new episodes of anything are repeated two hours later, and before the new episode the next week. This is being repeated a lot probably because it's a premier.

Really, the general spoilers I wrote don't give anything away. It is just my general opinion on what I saw in the preview. I added another spoiler tab for the more specific comments to be on the safe side, but even those comments don't give away any big plot points or specifics about the episode. I just didn't want to upset anyone avoiding all spoilers.
Like Falcon said, it is a continuous 33-34 minutes. I think it was taken from the first hour of the pilot, but it does not start at the very beginning of the episode. Most of the scenes are the ones that were in the webisodes, but they are definitely reworked with added/changed dialogue, different CGI, costumes, etc. There were only a couple of completely new scenes that weren't in the webisodes.

It all depends on your def of scifi. does scifi mean there has to be space ships and ray guns and aliens? Does it mean 'has to be off world stuff and out in space?' or can scifi just be stories based on fiction based on science? (as in science fiction?)
But i think with - as we've seen - vampires and monsters and witches, it's a skewed a bit more fantasy than scifi. I'm not thinking that there'll be as much technobabble and more a focus on the human drama - or abnormal drama
Originally posted by Mandysg1 View PostIf you think about it, the industry normally groups the genres together, Sci-fi/ fantasy when they categorize shows. So even if it doesn't fit Sci-fi specifically it fits the group.
AT herself said it was more of a graphic novel type show, and looking at these types of shows, I believe the newer Batman movies also fit in this genre and seem to do well
So I have nothing but high hopes for Sanctuay, it seems to be in good company
Originally posted by EvenstarSRV View PostI took a Scifi/Fantasy lit class a couple of years ago where we spent a while on this subject. My rather simplistic take on it is that science-fiction attempts to explain things using science or pseudo-science, while fantasy explains things more as magic or something as mystical. I'm thinking Sanctuary will be a sort of mix of the two.

<-- This is what I look like right now (although not quite as green )
Generalized spoilers followed by slightly more specific ones:
Spoiler:I was a bit skeptical about whether I would like the changes to the show. After watching the sneak preview, I have a feeling that I am going to love the TV version even more than the webisodes. It was really, really good IMO. I liked the new costumes, music, dialogue. It really seems richer in terms of story and character development. And I love how AT is playing Helen now (not that I didn't before but...). She still has the same spunkiness, but there is a real soulfulness to her performance in the sneak preview. Same with Robin and the way he is playing Will now - there is just more depth in the performances.
Specific spoilers for Episode 1:Spoiler:Amanda and Robin were so good in that last scene on the parapet. The only thing I didn't like as much in the preview was the CGI. I actually thought the creatures and Alexei's apendage looked more realistic in the webisodes. But it might just be my computer screen and the fact that it was a streaming video. The other CGI (buildings, rooms, etc.) looked really good.
Spoiler:I thought it was great as well, everything just seemed richer. I really agree about the soulfulness of AT's performance as Helen. She still has that edge and wit but it was layered with more depth and meaning. That final scene with Will was great, though it seemed a bit strange for Helen to already be calling him Will instead of Dr. Zimmerman. Loved the cold being debatable line. The extra warmth and concern between Helen and Ashley was also nice to see, and I loved Druitt and the EM field. Robin was also great as Will, I love that we're getting a more complex back story to the character.
Only one more week!

Only one more week!Spoiler:Oh yeah, I loved how they added that Will's mother died by an abnormal. Well, not that she died but... well, you know what I mean. I wonder if he still ever met Big Foot, as he's still scared in the same way he was in the webisodes.

WOAH!
"W: Do you think that sci-fi is going to, or is willing to, do anything like NBC's streaming of episodes with limited commercials?
AT: Yes! They will! [Note: Sci-Fi has not confirmed this]
W: Do you know any type of timeline?
AT: No, that would need to be a Sci-Fi question. It makes absolute sense to do it. I think Sci-Fi.com has already started to discuss the idea of streaming. And it is certainly part of our digital platform when we broadcast and to figure out how to make that work. It just makes so much sense to try to put together a show where you have limited commercials if you are able to. They do it in other countries around the world already, so it makes sense. That is definitely a network question that I can't answer to, but if I had my druthers? Yeah, absolutely."
