What happened in the Doctor Who world in 1992? Is that when the Fox pilot was?
eta: And this BSG book search is weird: [link] What happened in 1994?

A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

The Fox movie was in 1996. I'm guessing the 1992-98 upswing was because of the books -- Virgin published both the New Adventures and the Missing Adventures between 1991 and 1997.
Google-fu suggests that 1994 is when Richard Hatch started campaigning for a Galactica revival.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
I couldn't watch it. I'll try again later. I got to the madman screeching "I CAN DANCE!" and I had to turn it off.
Yeah, me too. I think if I powerslam a fifth of cheap gin while watching a Venture Brothers episode, then I could totally watch that, and properly appreciate it.

Or maybe I would still need to sniff some glue... I dunno.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
haha, I am not sure anyone here would endorse sniffing glue for the sole purpose of watching those scenes in "Sanctuary." It is not worth it.

Yeah, I like my brain cells. I wouldn't want to sell 'em too cheaply.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I wouldn't drink a fifth of Scotch just to watch that. But if I were to drink a fifth of Scotch ANYWAY it might come into my head as a good idea.

I suppose it would be way off topic to wax rhapsodic about the sale at a local liquor store for Bailey's - I got a bottle of the Mint Chocolate. I would totally not waste a drop of this precious fluid on that dance sequence.
I think the fiction in that bit of science fiction is based on the notion that since Joss Whedon can squeeze a successful musical into a vampire show, then dance routines can be used throughout the sf/f genre.
Which is patently untrue, unless one is actually, in fact, Joss Whedon (or perhaps one of his siblings).

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Xena did it before.

I can imagine Xena carrying it off with more style and grace than apparently Sanctuary was able to manage. But the various mental images seem to go better without Sorbo getting a cameo.
