I watched Sanctuary last night! It seemed a little workmanlike, but I enjoyed it. I don't watch Torchwood, though. Maybe I should? Is that a BBC show?

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.

I enjoyed Sanctuary. I thought that Dr. Zimmerman was kind of Mastersish - what do you think? And it had Dee and Major Lorne!
Yeah, Torchwood is a BBC show.
Speaking of BBC shows: tomorrow BBCA is running a Life on Mars marathon. To prepare us for the premiere of the ABC LoM? To prepare us to be disappointed by the ABC LoM?

I really liked the actor playing Zimmerman, and Tapping was as great as ever.

The Sanctuary dialogue was often stilted and pretentious, but that may be partly because it was exposition heavy.
I'm willing to suspend belief on the question of whether there are monsters all around us. But having an embryo extracted and successfully frozen in the 1890s? Not so much.
The "virtual set" thing makes the whole show feel like a video game.

The Sanctuary dialogue was often stilted and pretentious.
And it was slow moving, and signaled every plot twist well in advance. Don't think I'll watch again. If Buffistas start squeeing I'll watch the one after that happens.

Oh, the video game feel was MUCH worse in the online version. I expected some of the monsters to turn out to be the ghosts from Pac Man.

I've seen a bunch of Sanctuary episodes and didn't find it getting any better. Cute moments but stories that telegraphed their punchlines waaaay too early.
I feel like I have too many things to watch already.
I like Torchwood much better.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Are these the webisodes or the new full bore ones they made for SciFi?
