Re: Sanctuary
Go for True Blood, its great. I'll just give the warning that I thought the pilot was crap so didn't watch it again for over a year. A friend convinced me to try it again and I loved it, so if you don't enjoy the pilot give it another 1 or 2 episodes.
Re: Sanctuary
i'd also recommend true blood, it's actually quite fun...
Re: Sanctuary
Sanctuary is weird in the beginning, but it get's better later on. storyline is weird indeed.

Re: Sanctuary
Fun to watch, if you don't think much about it. Freak-of-the-weekish but sets the mood for the story, though most of the arc is in term os character relationshionships (think Star Trek TNG).
Worth for Stargate fans Amanda Tapping and Christopher (Todd the Wraith) Heyerdahl as BigFoot AND Jack the Ripper.
Re: Sanctuary
Yes it has the sexy Amanda Tapping in it, but with a really really bad English accent. It puts you off.
I too stopped watching it after a few eps, the CGI is truly bad.

Re: Sanctuary
well imo the CGI get's better in season 2
Re: Sanctuary
True blood first then Sanctuary it ain`t bad if you get into it
Re: Sanctuary
thanks everyone,
I'm gonna go watch a few True Blood eps and see how it goes
Re: Sanctuary
true blood is some vampire crap?
Re: Sanctuary
Not crap. Well, the first few ep's but then it gets better. And it's not sparkling like the twilight series, they curse, they fuck, adult type of tv.
Yes, CRAP - maybe not crap, if you watch it as really stupid comedy
Re: Sanctuary
true blood is some vampire crap?
Considering the kind of vampire crap we get in nowadays, Vampire Diaries being a Roswell with fangs and "Twiglight" being the ABSOLUTE WORSE VAMPIRE ITERATION EVER AND THE MOST OFFENSIVE THING TO MY INTELLIGENCE EVER TO BE PUT INTO PRINT AND SOLD TO MILLIONS OF KIDS AROUND THE WORLD SO THEY CAN EMBARRASS THEIR GOTH LITERATURE LOVING PARENTS WITH AN ARRAY OF ABSURDITIES IN THE REALM OF STATING JUDAS BETRAYED JESUS BECAUSE HE NO LONGER WANTED TO FUCK HIM AND PREFERRED TO PLAY STRAIGHT BY HAVE A THREESOME WITH HIS OWN MOTHER AND MARY MAGDALENE WHILE MAHOMED JERKED IN THE MOUTH OF BUDA WHO WAS BUTTFUCKING GANESH ... NO WONDER THE ONLY FAN I KNOW OF THIS PIECE OF SHIT THAT SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN PUBLISHED IS THE 9 YEAR OLD SON OF A FRIEND WHO STARTED READING DUE TO PEER PRESSURE ... CRAP, HOW I MISS HARRY POTTER WHEN I HEAR KIDS TALKING ABOUT BOOKS OR MOVIES ... GAAAAAHHHHHH ... IT IS EVEN WORSE THAN READING THE PSEUDOMISTICAL CRAP THAT ARE PAULO COELHO'S FIRST, I DON'T NO, FIVE NOVELS! SERIOUSLY I WANT TO POUND STEPHANIE MEYER'S HEAD IN WITH MY COPY OF DRACULA, TRAVEL BACK IN TIME AND USE HER BABY SOFT SPOT AS AN ASHTRAY (AND I DO NOT EVEN SMOKE!)! AH AH AH AH AH ... AH ah ah ah ... ok, I'm calmer now.
So, put on this perspective, True Blood is pretty good. Actors are fine, you get to see Anna Paquin being her usually talented self and then showing her very nicely appointed breasts, the funny bits are funny, the grotesque bits are grotesque and the scary bits are actually scary. Plus you care about the magic and about the characters. I am not against reemagining vampires, actually think is a good thing as they are one of the best myths of our collective society, but, of course, there are limits, there is a line of thought, both demonic and existential you cannot abandon, Ture Blood does not. Twiglight does not even notice.
Re: Sanctuary
Considering ...
holy crap. that's some serious attitude problem
but thnx for all the feedback. if i get time and chance i might give true blood some chance.
Re: Sanctuary
rsrs, Twiglight's (I know I mispelled) really puts me besides myself.It is one big masturbatory teen fantasy (and that is an opinion I got from some very sincere teenage girls I know who admitedly use the books as pornography - because that is what it is, softcore pornography).

Re: Sanctuary
True Blood really is, at it's heart, a crap show. It's horribly acted, poorly written (which I never would have expected from Alan Ball), full of truly stupid and massively cliched characters, and amatuer soap opera dramatics, it's predictable as all getout, and probably the trashiest thing to be put on tv since, Hell, I don't know when. But for some reason despite all of that it is strangely very, very watchable.
It's like an a-z master list of awful ingredients that shouldn't work and should be a massive turn off has somehow formed into a perfect storm of entertainment against all laws of man and God. I mean I don't believe in 'guilty pleasures', I've always believed that you either like something or you don't, and you need not apologise to anyone for taking either stance, even if you are the only one that feels that way, just so long as you are true to yourself and your own tastes and opinions. But if I did have such a thing as a guilty pleasure, then this show would most assuredly be it. Because honestly, it's the only show that I watch that I can't pinpoint why exactly I watch it, yet I keep coming back all the same. Maybe I've been 'glamoured' by it...

Re: Sanctuary
So now that season 3 started is there anyone left watching this show. i almost had completely forgotten everything about this show when i saw it was up and downloaded and watched it. well i'm kinda confused. since it had been some time from last episode and i have seen so many shows in the meantime i have even no idea what rating to give this episode. i'll wait for next episode and then i'll know.
