I’m beginning to wonder if there’s something in the water here. Either that or if somebody is dosing the coffee of major TV network heads with Vancouver propaganda.

A recent headcount has shown that Vancouver is home to more science fiction TV productions than almost anywhere else. V, Dollhouse, Sanctuary, Fringe, and Smallville just to name a few.

I guess that’s the gloriousness of our fair city; not only does it have enough chrome and shine to make you think you’re in Bangkok circa 2030, you’re also an hour’s drive away from a perfect version of Sherwood Forest.

Post-Sanctuary’s signing with the SciFi network, the big buzz is on Riese to go all the way. Currently a strictly web based series, the steam-punk fairy tale of moral ambiguity and political intrigue has its fangs deep into the city and has the look and the feel that should easily get it signed to a cable network anytime soon.
