Me and dad watched the first episode of Sanctuary and both went "hahaha no" (he can quite happily watch awful films like Son Of Hercules Versus The Moon Men and I was a SG1 fan, so it's not like we're averse to non-brilliance). Then a co-worker started on about HOW IT GETS BETTER and... I don't want to sit through several hours of awfulness to get to a slight glimmer of okayness (does the godawful CG ever get better? even dad picked up on that!).
Then again the rest of the conversation with him went like this: him: "But it's like Doctor Who! You LOVE Doctor Who." me: "...It's nothing like Doctor Who." him: "Oh, I mean the other one." me: "Torchwood? I don't like Torchwood." him: "Oh, I don't like it either. But not because he's gay!" me: "Yeah okay this conversation is stopping now." him: "I'm okay with gay people. It's just. He makes me uncomfortable." me: "You really, really need to stop talking now."
So I am willing to accept that I am unfairly biased against the show. :p
