I would not go that far. I just think every other show is good and then they give us a crappy one like this one. This might be budget or perhaps the writers are running low on new ideas.
No offense but the writers simply can't run low on ideas. To do so is to sound the death knell for a show. I mean really, I'm not that big of a fan of the show and even I was able to rattle off 3 examples of when they used the "trapped together" plot in the past. That, to me, is unforgivable and is a clear sign that the show simply isn't that good at the core.
In short, it's dumb and getting dumber. And to be honest I'm getting tired of having to always pick out what TV show writers do wrong. That's not my job but it seems to be of late. How ridiculous that viewers have to point out the obvious, glaring flaws when it should be obvious to the creators of these shows.
If
Sanctuary doesn't have its crap together by now then it deserves to die. Recycling tired plots and gimmicks from previous seasons is not only pathetic it's insulting to the viewer. Someone needs to (tightly) hold a pillow over the face of this show. It's done. Time for something new.
P.S. What does it say that I'm actually thrilled about
Merlin taking
Sanctuary's place on the Friday night line up?
Merlin for all intents and purposes is a kids show yet it's far more interesting and satisfying than
Sanctuary. That says it all.
