But will two fat 15-year olds chest bump after watching it?

She needs to do some Skin-a-max!
BTW: The Doctor would love her.

You think she's got some Time Lord DNA in her? Wait. Oh. MY. GOD. AMANDA TAPPING ON DOCTOR WHO!?!?! GEEKASM!!!
Lastly, I'm surprised Claudia Black was tapped (no pun)

Also, Amanda Tapping's cleavage.

Fix that spelling. I thought this was a quality publication.
OK, to quote Logan's Run (movie).

"There is no Sanctuary!" but there is in the book. Or is that the other way around?
Atlantis?

I seem to be remember hearing that the by no means plain Tapping was moving to Stargate Atlantis? Or am I a fracking buffoon?
She needs a goddamn haircut.

Long hair does not work with her gorgeous face that I would like to cum on.
Torchwood, anyone?

Understanding that there are no true original ideas left in most media, was I the only one who got a 'Torchwood' vibe off this?

I got the Doctor Who-esque vibe from this as well. Notice my posts earlier.

i actually thought this was a clever pun and the series involved rescuing art from... something, possibly nazis with chisels and paintstripper. then i read the article and remembered i already knew about this project and herc is just a sausagefingers.
Seems like a good fit for XBox live and Apple TV

Kinda hoping someone from the production team of this project reads this and makes the webisodes available on Xbox live and through ITunes for Apple TV. This would be an ideal way to reach a relatively broad audience and would allow potential viewers to watch these episodes on our big screens in hd.
I thought it was drusilla from buffy

strange to hear her with a british accent, and yes to the above very dr who and sin city.

still seemed interesting though, more clevage shots of tapping must occur.

and love that intro

they'll make sheloads of money, this is going out to everyone at the sametime. hook everyone up for free eps, and then charge when you got them hooked. limited the amount of torrents, and you're up and running very nitin sawneyesqe intos. groovy.

The voiceover makes it sound like there will be non-human good guys, which I always like to see. Nice prosthetics work, but the CG is crap. When will they learn that "Fusing stunning visual effects and video game technology" is a contradiction in terms? The point is (or should be) to make the effects NOT look like a video game. Sheesh. Otherwise, if the writing is good and the world is self-consistent, I'm there.

She grew up in Canada, which is pretty obvious from her speech pattern and accent in Stargate. (I'll admit, I did look it up on Wikipedia to confirm my suspicion.)

Personally, I've never understood the fanboi obsession with Samantha Carter, but I'd wager it's rooted in SG-1's Showtime start and rare bit of nudity, which gave GateGeeks everlasting hope for a regularly topless SG team member.

As for Sanctuary -- I'd disagree with Billy Goat; I've seen video games that were more convincing. Conceptually, it's interesting, but the webisode format means a tiny budget, which looks to have mostly been spent on prosthetics (thankfully). CGI sets are fine, so long as the greenscreen process is done carefully and the lighting is matched -- this sample doesn't lead me to think that the digital matting is being done carefully or that there is any care in considering the lighting as shot, when creating the backgrounds.

I don't think they were thinking about matching the lighting. I think the mix-match was intentional.
Definite torchwood vibe

But more interesting than what I've seen of torchwood. Definite similarity in tone and visual style, like the overhead shots of the city. I agree some of the CGI is crap. If AICN reminds me of this when they start showing full eps I'll probably check it out. Otherwise, I'm not intrigued enough to remember on my own.

Anyone else spot that? or was it just me? This just seems like a big melting pot of other show's ideas/ concepts and that was nowhere near a British accent. Still, interesting idea, especially if we get hot topless fishy action!
meh...

as much as i like the idea and the delivery concept.... it looked very low budget... far from 'broadcast quality'... looked like it was shot on mini dv....looked like some really cheap rendering... looked like a high end student film...and i should know, i am one.

Amanda Tapping? Seriously? Lusting after Claudia Black I can understand but there is absolutely nothing sexy I find about this woman. Maybe it's all the years I've seen her in military garb.. I dunno...

The Accent and The Hair
by ravenkai

I just wanted to add my two cents worth on this. First of all, how many times have you changed the way you talk over the years based on how where you are living, who you are hanging out with and where you work? We don't do it on purpose, we just do. If you live in the northern part of the country and move south, you are recognized as different by your speech. Over time, you begin to adapt to the ‘local lingo’. If you then moved BACK to where you started, your speech patterns would once again set you apart because our experiences become a permanent part of who we are. Now, imagine moving around the WORLD for 157 years. How would you sound after being exposed to hundreds of thousands of different dialects? Several fans from UK found the accent completely believable and could recognize different ‘regional’ inflections. As for the hair, there is lots of speculation about that. She has been shown with several different hair styles and colors, based on time period. Think of “The Highlander” TV series. Duncan had to change identities every few decades to hide his immortality. Helen Magnus has most likely done something similar, considering her 157 years on the Earth. Who knows how long before she changes it again; Maybe next week or maybe not for another decade. I guess you could say I’ve already ‘drunk the Kool-Aid’. ;-)
