    I heard the 29-30 weeks thing before, but the SFN was only shot in August and it aired four months after that. Also from what Gillian Horvath posted on twitter it seemed like they were only doing the final audio mix/master for Fugue a fortnight before that aired.

    My issue with Sanctuary is they seem to spend so long on the post-production but not as much time on the pre-production etc (i.e. in terms of plots and scripts).

      'if' there's a season 5 (better be!)...

      what if a season 5 took place in the future? say, 75 to 100 years. or more.

      just thinking and pondering and so on.

        And they could be protecting the abnormals on Babylon 5?!?

        Hmmm... Ivanova meets Helen, now that could be interesting.

          As long as she's not meeting Captain Kirk, that's a Kirking I don't want to see

Not saying your wrong, just that something has to give. 29-30 weeks is an excessively long post-production period and that's gonna eat up $'s. When did Damien say there was a greater than 6 month post production period, was it last season or before?

            I also said it depends on when the show would air. For example they could potentially renew in May and production starts in June that means it could air NEXT year. My point, there is no really necessary time for it to be renewed. We may put a time limit on it, but given it's a cable show there really isn't one, apart from contractual ones - that's where Sanctuary could be in trouble, more so than a show with a studio behind it.
            Just clarifying that it wasn't a post production time but total production time and it was an approx. average. He's mentioned it several times over the years.

            As for it being reported as being cheap well that depends on what you've heard and the source. Some people have taken the producer's cheaper than other shows (Caprica, SGU) to mean cheap. Last I heard from the producers was that it was costing just under $2 mil an episode and that was last year.

            And yeah they have a huge number of factors to juggle so I'm expecting an answer when we get it and won't be surprised with a decision either way.

              So the 29-30 weeks concievably includes pre-production, production and post? Actually that's pretty believable in this case. It could potentially be cut down if necessary, but then again maybe not. Cheers for clarification though, I thought you meant post solely!

              Last I heard from the producers was that it was costing just under $2 mil an episode and that was last year.
              That could be a workable $ amount actually. I don't necessarily take producers word for total costs but they do give a fair idea.

              And yeah they have a huge number of factors to juggle so I'm expecting an answer when we get it and won't be surprised with a decision either way.
              That's pretty much where I am too. The season finale could act as series finale if necessary so it is what it is at this point.

                Well, that would certainly take care of some Will/Abby issues for me...

                    not if abby was visiting down under (that's the new sanctuary ), and some device caused everyone to be frozen, and years passed and they were defrosted, and everyone's now 100 years into the future, including will and abby.

                        I would like to think that if there was such a device (which I doubt, since apparently it isn't Praxis and if Helen could have gotten her hands on it then she could've used it when she got stuck in the past) Helen wouldn't be so selfish to use it on them, since she knows the curse of her 'gift' is having to watch those she cares about die. She might have considered using it on James, the rest of The Five (if necessary) or someone equally brilliant, but not just another protege and certainly not his girlfriend. Besides, I didn't hear Will say Abby had quit so she's not even supposed to be there!

                            If negotiations have collapsed, the show would be canceled and we'd already know. W13 extension is an independent hint of this.

                              TBH I find it weird though that W13 gets a 20 episode order when apparantly Syfy weren't doing that anymore, and that's why with S04 of Sanctuary we got 13 again.
