Since I got back I decided to skim over a few threads and this one caught my eye. I would love to say that Sanctuary is great, I really would. After all it does have the stunning Amanda Tapping from Stargate in it.
But I can't say that it's great. I was dissapointed by this show like you wouldn't believe. Probably because I was so excited about Amanda Tapping being in it, my expectations may have been way too high.
I think the acting quality isn't great, although that may have something to do with the bad directing and poor (and very corny) scripts which were pretty basic and very predictable.
I also hated all the CGI. I'm not a fan of CGI at the best of times and as the entire show is filled with it, I found it pretty annoying. It all felt just a little bit cheap and tacky.
But at least I can say good things about Amanda "Stargate" Tapping. Well, actually I can't. The change of hair colour was a bad idea, although I can probably guess why they wanted to do it (seperate her from here stargate character). In that vain they made her speak in some ultra fake british accent which is just plain annoying to listen to. Also, as the accent sounds so fake, and sounds like she is forcing it and isnt comfortable using it, she comes across as wooden and boring. On the upside, she has a pretty face.
