Product: Sanctuary: The Complete Second Season [Blu-ray] (2010)
Rating: 4.0
Not as good as Season 1 but still one of my favorite shows.
Not going to go on too much here, others have written most of the pros and cons. I, too, thought the first season was much better, and I was one that really liked the Ashley character and was quite disappointed when they wrote her off. As much as I would want to 'like' the Kate character, I'm not a big fan of the smart-ass, mouthy type, and the way she was integrated into the storyline so quickly, left some ho-hums...how'd that come about, what?...questions. Have always loved Amanda Tapping, I still greatly miss the wonderful Stargate shows..both SG-1 and Atlantis (Christopher Heyerdahl as my favorite Wraith). As an aside here, I really liked the Wraith as the 'bad guys' in SG-A, I was hoping somehow they might show up in Universe (which I was sorely disappointed in), but no such luck. Anyhow, I too thought the Cabal storyline could morph into all kinds of situations, but Season 2 seemed to go in an entirely new direction. From what I've seen of Season 3 so far, there's potential still, but I wish the writers would get back to what made the show so great (in my opinion) in the beginning..the abnormals, the Cabal intrigues, somehow bringing Ashley back from wherever she went (anything's possible you know). Still, all in all, I really like Sanctuary and am really looking forward to some new episodes.
