Sanctuary

[Rappy Veteran]

Sanctuary stars Canadian actress Amanda Tapping as Dr. Helen Magnus, an English exobiologist who seeks to help so-called 'monsters' by running the titular 'Sanctuary for All'. She recruits Dr. Will Zimmerman (Robin Dunne), a forensic psychiatrist, to assist her in reaching people and gaining their trust so they can be helped. Other Sanctuary staff include Henry Foss (Ryan Robbins), a weapons designer & computer expert; and Ashley Magnus (Emilie Ullerup), Helen's daughter and self-proclaimed monster hunter.

Thats what she was trying to do? :p

He accent was really bad but I really like the concept and hope they keep the ideas flowing.

Yeah, the accent surprised me but it was kinda hot. :wub:

I'll keep watching this series since a lot of sci-fi actors are going to come in it. Dualla from BSG was in episode 1 as ex-girlfriend moving out of the apartment. :cool:

I thought I had seen that girl some where before!

I remember hearing about this on one of the Stargate websites a good while ago.

I will have to check it out.

I thought this weeks episode was rather good but its so sad that nearly everything on the show is CGI even the characters themselves don't look real at times!

It's an interesting show but it's too short. Amanda Tapping's accent was a pleasant surprise. My brain, conditioned from years of SG-1 episodes, was trying to "decipher" her real accent. It made her English accent even more fake. No offence to her though... she's a wonderful actor. Also, the sets don't look real so I assume they use a lot of green screens.

They do heres a set picture...

[Yusuf M. Veteran]

Hahahaha! I knew it. You can't blame them though. Perhaps they'll use real sets when they get a bigger budget.

[Cavalyr]

you can really see a lot of things in the show. as in CGI. but i will keep watching it. if BSG was still on, would make for a good nite of watching.

If it goes that far...

[ATGC]

Was a good episode. :cool:

[Rappy Veteran]

Sanctuary gets a Second Season!

Fear not, all forms of creatures, the "Sanctuary for all" will remain open for another season.

TVGuide.com has learned exclusively that Sci Fi channel has greenlit production on a second season of Sanctuary, ordering 13 new hours of the series.

"Sci Fi will continue to trail blaze the television landscape by further exploring the many worlds of Sanctuary through its unique green screen environments," said Mark Stern, Executive Vice President of Original Programming at Sci Fi. "Technology and great storytelling makes Sanctuary a fantastic addition to Sci Fi's 2009 lineup."

Sanctuary was created by Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis scribe Damian Kindler and stars the first lady of sci fi, Amanda Tapping, who also serves as executive producer. The show shoots the majority of its content using green screen environments and technology much like films Sin City and 300.

The show centers around Tapping's character ? the 157-year-old Dr. Helen Magnus ? a brilliant scientist who holds the secrets of a clandestine group of creatures known as "abnormals."

Magnus works alongside forensic psychiatrist Dr. Will Zimmerman (Robin Dunne), a techie Henry (Ryan Robbins) and her badass daughter Ashley (Emilie Ullerup), to help protect these threatened creatures as well as investigate the science and mystery behind their existence.

More than three million viewers tuned in to the premiere of Sanctuary on October 3, 2008 making it the highest rated original series premiere on Sci Fi since Eureka debuted in July 2006.

Sanctuary is slated to begin production in Vancouver early next year for a 2009 premiere.

Are you excited to see more Sanctuary?
