Good news and bad news…
The good news…
Amanda Tapping’s Sanctuary (I have the link posted on this site) has been picked up by the Sci-Fi Channel for an initial 13 episode order. The web based series was quite entertaining, and I imagine it will be even more visually stunning on television. Both Tapping and director Martin Wood will be reducing their roles on Sci-Fi’s established hit Stargate Atlantis to work on the new series.
That’s the bad news.
I migrated to Atlantis for the show’s fourth season just for the character of Col. Samantha Carter. I caught up with the show’s first three seasons and was ready and raring to go when Sam joined the expedition this year. I hear she’ll be making several appearances in season 5, but I was seriously loving Carter as the leader.
So, bad news for us Carter fans, but the news is tempered by the fact we’ll have another great sci-fi show to watch.
I’m happy for the folks at Sanctuary but the Stargate fan in me is a little bummed.
