Tapping!! Monsters!! STARGATE Guys!! Cop-Hating-Destructo-Kids!! The First Episode Of SANCTUARY Is Now Online!!
Merrick here...
A few weeks ago, we posted a link to a 5 minute preview of a new online web series called SANCTUARY. It stars STARGATE SG-1’s Amanda Tapping & is headed up by numerous STARGATE alumni. You can read the original report (and find more details & credits) HERE.
The first full episode of the series went on-line today, and seems rather impressive in style, scope, and concept. It looks to be an homage to/amalgam of many genre faves (I’m sensing a touch of X-FILES, HIGHLANDER, and HELLBOY among several other nods), although its personality seems distinct at the moment. Each episode will be roughly 15 minutes long, and new eps should roll around every two weeks or so.
I wasn’t knocked out by the preview footage we saw, but this first episode suggests the series could be a lot of fun. Between Tapping (who is super-mega-desirable…all the time) and a variety of monsters…it oughta make for good Geek fodder.
SEE IT HERE!!!
Love the title sequence & music.
By the way, they've been experiencing some server slammage today...so be patient & be sure to try back if you get frozen out. I'm told these issues have been resolved. But, I thought I'd mention it just in case.

or not.

Yeeeeah, I think I'll be skipping this.
-
Ok maybe not.
-
I'll try out the first episode, but it'll have to be really spectacular to get me to spend $2 for each 15-minute episode. That's $8 an hour, more expensive than going to the theater to see a feature-length film. The concept is just right: sell stuff on the Internet directly to the viewers, cut out the middle man. But I think they've aimed their price point a tad too high.
-
Sorry but if you want me to watch your show you better make it free. I can watch better stuff on TV and it doesn't cost me a dime. Bad idea guys.
-
If you look at iTunes. 1/2 hr comedy episodes (20 minutes) cost about $1.99. Dramas cost (~40-42 min) cost $1.99 not sure if I would pay initially to see it. I think they should offer it on the web as a flash episode 1st. Then offer it as download on their own site as well as maybe iTunes.
-
But I ain't going to pay for it. Even with their "bundle" it is still too expensive. It looks like (Torchwood + Primeval) * X-Files + Forever Night. If they give it away free or I see it somewhere I might download it.
-
I don't think I'm going to pay 1.99 to see her, unless she's really doing a ton of nudity.
-
$1.99 for 15 minutes? That's comedy gold!
-
that the first 4 webepisodes were going to be be free!?!?!?! cripes.

If i'm paying anything more than what I'm paying for basic cable, there better be LOTS O TITTIES involved. This aint gonna fly. Did they bother to do any market research?

i'd suggest putting those weblinks i've mentioned in on your article for all those who would like to try before they buy...
-
I already pay for SciFi which gives me all the fun crappy CG monsters I want. And my couch is more comfy than my desk chair. I'm sorry guys, but the internet was and always will be the place I go to not pay for things.
-
first 15 minutes had Kavan Smith and David Hewlett from atlantis and Lorena Gale from battlestar galatica.
-
Anyone notice the google ad in the lower right corner depicting a guitar player 'tapping' lol?
-
That's got to have some of the shittiest unfinished CG work I have ever seen. Who cares if it was done for the web. They could have at least finished the shots.
Damn. -
you're a dick. don't post lost spoilers all over the place.
do you think you're funny? i just don't get the reasoning.
i understand you're trolling and just looking for a response but please go away. -
in the future mention it if something like this costs money.
clicked on it excited to watch...then saw 1.99. no thanks. -
they should have made the 1st episode free to watch, hope to build some word of mouth. and charged a flat fee for anyone willing to purchase the entire 1st season online. $2 per viewing isnt going to work. they will be lucky to sell 100 views per episode.
-
LOL!
-
and you will find this for free.
-
BT is your friend.

...Like the commercials you sit there and watch on your TV. I live in the UK. We can't get shows for a year later...
Content isn't free Chap... someone pays somewhere. This episode is 17 minutes. Would you buy a music clip for $1.99? And it's only 3-4 minutes? Yet alone the resolution of an iPod? -

Ignorance: not smart nor is it clever. I work for the free press. You cannot download terrestrial broadcast U.S. TV outside of the U.S... legally; iTunes or network sites, not until the show has aired overseas and that is usually a year later. Pay for the download of the "Nike" LCD Sound System running mix, have another bag of Cheetos, go somewhere other than your sofa and watch Desperate Housewives and try to avert advertising! I dare you...

If you download the windows media version, you can then watch it back on an xbox360. I downloaded the file to a computer on my network which has a media drive shared with the network. The xbox can then play it back across the network. It looks considerably better than my direcTV service usually looks. That I am suprised by. I expected it to look more compressed than it does. And it's worth $2 an episode in my opinion.
