I have no love for Sanctuary, but I just wanted to note the oddity of this complaint.

Amanda Tapping is British. That wasn't an attempt at an accent, it was her own accent.

Well, it was a poor rendition of her own accent then. :mad:

Amanda Tapping is British, but she grew up in Canada. She's been living in Canada since she was a child. Her natural speaking voice is the one you hear on Stargate.

I'm interested in Sanctuary. The price has been fluctuating the last few months.

I thought her British accent was pretty terrible at times. But I DO love the show! The earlier seasons were definitely better. I loved her hot daughter! I'll keep it spoiler free, but all 4 seasons were enjoyable. Tesla was my favorite character! Pretty much any episode with him was awesome... Although I like Will, I thought it became too much of "The Will Show" 4th season...
Thus, I do recommend the purchase at this price, for anyone on the fence... At least to try S1 and see if you like it... It's no Farscape by any means, but enjoyable.

I don't know how many people here would think $36 is a deal, but season 2 had 22 episodes, whereas season 1 had 13.

Also worth noting that Netflix has also posted all 35 episodes.

Does the show wrap up at all, or does it just end in an unsatisfying way?

I was satified with the ending. I Personally thought Haven (currently $14.99 for S1) was a much better show, but to each his own.

I was satisfied as well, but it could have easily kept going...
I actually bought Haven S1 earlier today as a blind buy. The price was right...

Thanks re: Netflix. I added this to my queue and will wait for it to go down to $14.99 or so.

It's highly likely that there will be no coupons. For most of the non-premiere catalog titles, Disney has not been doing coupons for a couple years.

There were no physical coupons the day that Disney released Rescuers, Pocahontas, Aristocats, The Tigger Movie, and Lady and the Tramp II all on the same day, but there were Amazon coupons.

Thank you for pointing that out. After ten seasons of Stargate SG-1, several spin-off movies, and several seasons of Stargate: Atlantis I really liked Tapping and she was the reason I blind-bought Sanctuary.

I agree with you about the hot daughter! And Tesla. I may give seasons 3 and 4 a shot at that price.

FWIW, they did have on-pack buy 2 get $10 off coupons

They finally dropped House S8 to $21.99 to match BB. But I already broke down and bought it from BB yesterday using RZ certs. I sent BB's price to Amazon like a dozen times this week. Not sure why it took them so long to finally match. Oh well...
The Office S8 also dropped again. To $22.78. Weird price, I know...

Does anyone know why Amazon no longer has the Warner re-issues available for pre-order? The Zodiac reissue is one I'm particularly interested in. I sent them an e-mail, and 'Shiv' responded by linking me to the copies that have already been out for awhile.

Hellsing Ultimate: Collection Volumes 1-4

Hellsing Ultimate: Collection Volumes 5-8 $33.99

I bought 5-8 3 weeks ago. I did order 1-4. Rolled the dice and ask them about price matching the other set. They did refund me the $13 I paid. Saves me the time in ordering it and sending it back.


What gets me is they send me emails telling me the price has drop. After I bought something. I had no idea. I really wish they would stop doing that.

I forgot this was the Amazon thread. I was thinking of the DMR coupons.

Just got my Person of Interest season 1 BD/DVD set in the mail. It's stupid that WB released a DVD only set as well as this BD/DVD set.

Anyways, I love the show. $21.99 is a great deal if anyone here hasn't picked it up yet. If you like action shows like 24, this will fit the bill. It's a procedural, but has alot of serialized arcs.
