    Syfy has started a new trend in there scripts called "We killed them... NOT!"

    ..and I was thinking they were testing Will in some strange ARG at first. The "you are suppose to replace her" line was the trigger.

    I didn't buy for a minute that the Big Guy was dead so I suspected someone was setting her up. I just didn't guess it was Magnus herself. I thought Declan was still running the London Sanctuary so why is he spending so much time in Magnus' Sanctuary?

    Looks like next episode is the James Bond/Die Hard cool one.

    Are people still watching this show? I thought it's ratings tanked after they killed the hot blonde daughter.

    I think what we see here and what was actuall said in sign language were actually to different things.

    Heres what Lagoon man was REALLY saying:

    'Hey you sack of skin. I dont care if that mentle blonde form Stargate runs this joint. If you dont let me out of here im going to rip your f****n head off'.

    'Oh and please do something about my face...I look perminantly constipated!!'

    I have the script at home. It makes for hillarious reading!! #sanctuary

    I love Sanctuary! Thanks for giving the little show some love!

    I have to agree with you on the Abnormals Poker game idea. They could even reenact the Dogs Playing Poker poster for added snark. #sanctuary

    The species name is Pleskidara, Plesky for short, and it's from Siberia, not some tropical lagoon. #sanctuary

    I'm still wondering how I got sucked into this show.

    It would be nice if they could bring in some banter on episodes like this. The difference between a dull procedural and a hot show is often just well written dialog. Embrace it Sanctuary! #sanctuary

    Yeah, it was kind of bland.

    Kate's growing on me. I liked Ashley but at least Kate isn't lugging around Mommy and Daddy issues.

    I like the abnormal poker game idea. Henry, the Big Guy and a few other abnormals have weekly poker games in the Sanctuary's basement. Helen's Victorian attitudes make them play in secret so they have to scatter if she's around. #sanctuary

    I thought it was a step in the right direction, story-wise. Everythime Kate spoke, I didn't mentally cringe and wish Ashley was back. I figured out who did everything before they did but I know Sign Language and it kinda helped. And Henry is my favorite character so the episode is okay with me. When I do my "Top Awesome Henry's Moments" marathon, I will include this episode. #sanctuary

    In reply to Syfy Comedy Provokes Sci-FI Revolt
    Hm. Seems they're trying to parody sci fi while also refusing to take sci fi seriously. I smell ironic hipsterism!

    Sci fi's not exactly known for hilarity -- if they balance it with a quality series, then okay. But the current schedule tips the scales towards mockery; I get why viewers are pissed. (Wrestling belongs on SoapNet, not SyFy.) #syfy

    Graeme, every fan knows that sci-fi must be self-important, self-righteous, and self-congratulating. You can't look down on the masses who don't understand the themes and plots, if its something even the COMMON man can enjoy! Sci-Fi is not meant to be funny, it's meant to entertain people who would like a superiority complex of their own, but can't find an avenue for it to develop along. Damn you SyFy, for taking away the one thing the uber-nerds had going for them! #syfy

    I tune in to SyFy out of a vain hope that I'll find something on the air that I'll want to watch.

    I understand Don Juan Quixote's windmill-tilting mindset a little too well now. #syfy

    There is nothing (and I mean absolutely _nothing_) worth watching on SighFigh anymore. Nothing at all. It is, without exception, a complete and total waste of cable line-up space.
    F'ing CBS has more science fiction cred. And that's the same network that airs Two and a Half Men. Congratulations, SyFy. You are worse at science fiction than the people who keep Charlie Sheen working. #syfy

    @Cupajo: Wow...really?

    I'm totally not arguing with you...you feel how you feel. But, I have to say that I am arguably the worst person in the world and I pretty much dislike everything.

    Yet even I, Captain Hater, look forward to Sanctuary and SGU.

    Am I losing my edge? Going soft?

    ? ? ?

    You have me concerned here. #syfy
