Internet TV Review: Sanctuary



Written by Niall Rough
Published May 26, 2008

It's almost a year to the day since Sanctuary began. Championed as "the first broadcast-quality, high definition dramatic series designed specifically for the Internet", it seems an appropriate moment to take stock of Stage 3 Media's web-exclusive experiment.

With an innovative distribution model and a high concept to seduce the horde of genre fans who – let’s be honest about it – practically own the Internet, the eight short episodes originally released over a period of four months last summer are apt to be digested now in a single sitting. And what better way to prepare for the thirteen impending full-length episodes ordered by the SciFi Channel than by asking, a year on, without the hype and PR doublespeak to coast on, how well does Sanctuary hold up?

"There are monsters loose in the world. And they are the key to the future of our race." So goes the sales pitch. I’ll spare you the particulars – you’ll hear enough of them should you choose to point your browsers toward Sanctuary for All and download the series – but suffice it to say that Sanctuary has as its premise a place where monsters of all shapes and sizes can book an indefinite stay in the myriad selection of cells and containment facilities Helen Magus has to offer. She's immortal, of course; a lovelorn scientist left over from Victorian-era England with a soft spot for the CG creatures that cause havoc on the periphery of contemporary civilisation. The titular sanctuary purports to be a place where they can kick back without fear of rogue vampire slayers or demon-hunting PIs, but it hasn’t yet proven much more than a sprawling Gothic mansion for Magus to lock up her who's who of captive supernatural species.

Is Battlestar Too Trigger Happy?



Question: I'm perplexed at the choices the Battlestar Galactica writers have made this season. The main players spend their time whining, mumbling and making inane decisions while the supporting players have been treated like used Kleenex: Brave Callie gets tossed out the airlock, loyal Dualla rates only a "see ya" when Lee leaves her, and heroic Tyrol and Tigh have become sniveling cowards hiding in storage closets. But as hard as it is to see beloved characters mistreated, it's worse to see the repetitious use of a loaded gun as a resolution to every plot point. Need to stop an FTL jump? Don't shoot the computer, shoot Gaeta. Having bad dreams? Frak the handiest Cylon. Have a score to settle? How about a double murder in the hangar bay to settle old debts? It's like the whole fleet has gone Charles Bronson on steroids. The "look out, there's a gun!" shtick has been done to death on shows on like ER and Law & Order. It is baffling to see the Peabody-winning BSG writers resort to such a tired plot device. What gives with the gun play, and how do you rate the writers' choices so far this season? — Stephanie

Matt Roush: If you think Battlestar Galactica is celebrating violence because its characters are wielding weapons on a (might I add) military warship, you're watching a different show than I am. With all of this talk about destroying the Cylon resurrection hub and thus rendering the feuding Cylons as mortal as the humans, even as we watch Roslyn battle her cancer while Baltar preaches a new gospel, I find the show's take on mortality and spirituality a lot more potent than the melodrama of who's shooting whom. Which tends to play out in pretty desperate circumstances. (The murder of Callie a shocking moment by anyone's standards, I would think.) And to boil down the existential crises of the secret Cylons by describing them as "sniveling cowards whining and mumbling and hiding in storage closets" misses the point of this shattering revelation (which I still don't fully understand) on these heretofore heroic characters. So basically, I guess this boils down to me approving of the writers' choices more than you, though I'll acknowledge the show is less conventionally entertaining these days. But to charge it with becoming Bronson-esque simplistic? No way.
