What the hell has happened to
Sanctuary? For two and a half seasons it got (for the most part) better and better, then suddenly in the second half of S3 there've been five dire episodes in a row. And dire in a tedious, uncreative way--it's not that the show took risks and failed, but that it hasn't taken any risks, in fact its ambitions could hardly be lower, and it's still failed.
I suspect some of the problem is a directive from On High telling the showrunners to (a) cut the budget and (b) make episodes that are easy for new viewers to understand. So we get
( into specific territory, spoilery for aired episodes )
