I hate this book. All it did was make me further wary of reading anything else that revolves around magic.

Sanctuary: Metamorphosis and Wingman

SANCTUARY-Metamorphosis

“Metamorphosis” wasn’t too bad. I didn’t love it, but I also didn’t feel the need to throw anything at the screen. I DIDN’T EVEN HATE KATE. I’m so glad I was wrong and planets didn’t have to fall out of the sky for her to not suck.

These episodes made me angry and then the show changed air nights behind my back, but I calmed myself down and decided to tackle the mountain.

Sanctuary Season 3.5 Q & A with Amanda Tapping and Robin Dunne

amanda-tapping-sanctuary

Recently I was given the honor to join in on a chat with the lovely Amanda Tapping and the challenging Robin Dunne. Usually when people end up in a discussion with someone they have dogged in their recaps, they make apologies and dump piles of praise on the previously attacked person. I’m not going to [...]

Sanctuary Rewatch: Folding Man

1x04

To prove that I was not so jaded with the show in the beginning, I am going to post one of the original recaps I did.  Enjoy this trip back to a happier time (Oct 2008): Settling into a smoother format, this episode opens with a robbery. The clerk sets off the silent alarm and [...]

Sanctuary ReWatch: Sanctuary for All

sanctuaryforall

A few weeks ago I decided that maybe I was wrong about the caliber of some of the actors and that maybe the fault was due completely to the randomness of the writing staff. Luckily, the place where I originally wrote the reviews managed to disappear, so I get to watch these episodes again somewhat [...]

Sanctuary: Hollow Men Inside and Out

“I’m definitely having a Vista moment.” – Henry Foss So I sat down to do this review during my first watch of the episode because I figured that I would get holiday busy. I started watching and every time I tried to write something down, all that came out was a string of expletives. PRG [...]

Sanctuary: Kings and Vigilantes

Flashback, flashback, waffle. First up, “For King and Country” which is  a pile of flashbacks about a mediocre character masquerading as a real episode.  I feel like there should have been a sign that said “Welcome to Filler Island” Related Stuff:

Sanctuary: Breach-y

Ok, so I finally got all of the family members out of my house. Let’s do this! I had a big long winded review of Animus, which has become one of my favorites because it is chocked full of Henry, but DR basically says the same thing – minus DR liking naked Henry much more [...]

Sanctuary: Firewall

sanctuary-firewall

I am not apologizing for taking ages to write this one because Fable 3 came out then there was Halloween and I dropped of the face of the earth for a bit.  Also considering the ending of the premiere, it was very likely that the episode was going to focus mostly on what happened to [...]

If you truly love this show for it’s fantastic acting and great special effects, DR Hanson is also doing reviews. If you watch it for the cheese-fest just like you watch those terrible movies, then feel free to continue. Related Stuff:
