Sanctuary with Amanda Tapping
I can't help but hope the line is around the block for Amanda Tapping's Sanctuary panel today. I've seen her on the stargate panels many times over the years and she is not only very entertaining, but she is a genuine and nice person... a true joy to listen to.
Last year she spoke to the press briefly about the filming of Continuum (that panel is in progress as I type this elsewhere) and mentioned having to learn how to notice if the people around you had frostbite, being warned that humans look like upright seals and polar bears (as I recall) might come after you... and being left alone with Ben Browder on HUGE ice flows, to walk, and talk, and film a scene.
This year, her web-based show has been picked up by SciFi channel, and Sanctuary is going to start reaching a larger audience, starting with whatever crowd finds the Sanctuary panel, upstairs on the back side of the convention center in Room 30AB from 5:30-6:30PM Amanda Tapping is scheduled to be in attendance, and to be joined by Martin Wood and Robin Dunne. with Michael Logan of TV Guide moderating.
30AB is one of the smaller more out of the way rooms, though it isn't located all that far from Ballroom 20 where the Stargate Panels are happening back to back to back this morning (Continuum, MMOG, then Atlantis), so hopefully Amanda's fans will scope out room 30 and remember to come back in a few hours.
time flies when you're having fun...
I am proud beyond words of the Sanctuary / Amanda Tapping fans! The line was so long 30 minutes before the panel began that I knew there was no way I was getting near it, and all I could think was GOOD! With a line like this, hopefully, the fans will find this show as it airs on SciFi and it will last.
Down at the SciFi booth after the panel I heard one person say they sat through the panel before Amanda's to make sure she was there to hear all about Sanctuary... with dedicated fans like that, a bright future for Sanctuary seems a very real possibility.
