Sanctuary - It's worth to watch?

[Green_Lantern]

I am wondering if I should watch the entirety of Sanctuary, I have seen a few episodes, but nothing in order, however I sort of get unmotivated by cancelled shows.

I like the premise of the series, despite at times seems a little... not "drama" enough (?), also I am planning to write a book and there is a character that seems quite similar to Magnus.

Wait, they got cancelled...

Yeah, it's a pretty fun show, and mostly episodic, with some longer stories now and then... so being over shouldn't be a problem...

I'm really torn on Sanctuary. It tends to be a huge mix of awesome and awful with a lot of bland tossed in as well. Overall I'd say there are better shows to spend your time on (Grimm being the first to come to mind).

Hearing what'sherface from Stargate do a God awful British accent should be enough for anyone to want to steer clear of the show.

Dude, she is English. That's her normal voice.

Ha ha ha, I'm the worst.[DOUBLEPOST=1360517591][/DOUBLEPOST]Oh, she moved to Canada when she was 3. She's barely British. That there's a Canajun accent.

For a quick moment, I thought you were saying someone made a TV series based on the Aspirin Fantasy collaboration. I am mildly disappointed.

What are you talking about, the funny accent was one of the parts of the show i liked.

In case you're not convinced yet: Vampire Tesla... show's worth it for that alone.

That is one of the points of awesome in the show. I love Vampire Tesla.

He truly defines Magneficient Bastard, and I totally love-hate him xD

Haven't seen much of this series...
...but I have to ask, what kind of evil force canceled it?

It's kind of what they do. They make a series just long enough for syndication, and then they cancel it.

Syndication??
I don't suppose there is any chance of a expanded book universe right?
>.>
I so very much afraid of liking this show too much. Is there any similar series that is new and not too-close-to-end around?

Syndication??

I'm actually not sure what the full meaning of the term can be, but in this case it's sales of the show to run on other stations, usually broadcast stations. For a TV station to want to pick up the re-runs to show in an afternoon or late-night block, they usually require a show to have at least a certain number of episodes (I think it's 5 seasons worth).

I don't know. Eureka has a series of novels. Maybe Sanctuary will.

I think Grimm has a lot in common with sanctuary. It's not quite so grand in scale, but it's got quirky characters, a hidden world, and some other commonalities.

Grimm seemed a little darker at first glance.

Surprisingly it's not. There's a lot of humor in Grimm. I think the two shows are pretty close in how dark they are.
