The Bottom Line: "Superb"

This story was covered in the last 4 webisodes...however this time we actually got to see an ending rather than a cliff-hanger!
The introduction of the Morrigan as objects or property of the Kabal was an interesting change.I have a feeling we haven't seen the last of the creepy guys with guns.
The scene with Helen trying to connect with Ashley was well acted,I thought.You could see that Helen and her daughter as so different but so similar too.When Ashley was denying she had an injury from her fight with the lizard thing,it was almost as if Helen was psychic and knew she was lying.They seem to have a much closer relationship now.
Henry made me crack up again.Ryan Robbins seems to get the best lines,here and in the pilot.The poor bloke has been taken hostage (sort of) twice in two episodes,though.Not a good record,he really needs to work on that!
I was glad Will managed to make the Morrigan see that they didn't need to be what the Kabal told them to be.They don't need to kill,that is not who they are.It was a shame that they decided to leave with the armed men at the end.I guess it showed their new found compassion,though...giving themselves up to avoid the Sanctuary team being killed.
I am very much looking forward to the next episode.With it being a new story,that has no connection to the webisodes,I won't have anything to compare it with for once.

The Bottom Line: "Superb"

As someone who had watched (and reviewed) the original webisodes,I was very apprehensive about how the new tv version of Sanctuary would turn out...would they keep things as they were or change them?
I was pleasantly surprised.
Yes they had changed some of my fave scenes (no David Hewlett or Will fainting in the shower),but it was a great start to it's tv life.
The story was basically the same just filmed in a different way,with some of the parts from the webisodes added in.
We got to meet everyone that is important: Helen,Will,Ashley,John and Bigfoot.
I have noticed with Ashley that they seem to have toned her down.She is not so much of a bratty,obnoxious girl anymore..which can only be a good thing.
The CGI was much better,and brighter too.I could see everything very clearly.
Overall a very good first half of the pilot,I enjoyed it very much.
There were a few times I would say out loud "It didn't used to be like that!",but after a while I relaxed and enjoyed it for the 'new' show that it is.

Election Day

Well the day has finally come to bring an end to the most interesting and groundbreaking political season of our lifetime. I'd like to show some of my highlights from the campaign. First being the terrible hypocrisy of the Fixed News channel with the this piece from The Daily Show. Next on to proof of what some of us already knew, that the potential new boss was the same as the old boss again thanks to The Daily Show. My last Daily Show piece shows that according to the McCain Campaign I am not a "REAL" American because I live in a big urban area.

Now on to my favorite gaffes of the campaign. First the "My Fellows Prisoners" speech. Next the "You want to do what to my taxes?" speech. And last but not least is Senator McCain reacting to a Democratic Congressman calling his constituents racist. Swing and a Miss.
