Really enjoyed this episode, and for me, enjoyment is what I'm looking for in my Friday night viewing.
Happy to see Major Davis, knew he was the bad guy as soon as he was introduced. The Jack abnormal guy was a truly horrible rubber suit. So...the plot was predictable and the visual effects were less than movie quality.
But the story was interesting, writing was good, the acting was great, the characters are folks I've come to care about via prior good writing and acting.
If you've got a good story, well told - the scenery is less important. Stage plays don't have the best effects, Star Trek had crap effects. I'm all about an engaging show, with decent scenery, costumes, and effects.
This is why Sanctuary is enjoyable, and so far SGU is not so much. SGU seems the reverse - great effects and CGI and stuff prioritized over kind of lame story, writing, and characters.
This week's Sanctuary was pretty good all around. I enjoyed it, will watch it again, and look forward to next week. So...I think the producers met their goals!
