wait just a minute: I missed this movie? I wanted to see it based on the title alone. But if ita didn't like it, I better avoid that shit like the plague.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Is there such a thing as a good SyFy movie?
Pterodactyl was pretty awesome. I also liked Bloodsuckers. But I think that one wasn't a SciFi Channel Original Movie. Pterodactyl featured Coolio, though. Coolio!

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
leN, if you're into the Mish-Mish, it was enjoyable for the eye candy, and not horrifically traumatizing like Nathan Fillion's "Water's Edge" was ( no amount of alcohol in the world.... )

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
To be accurate--I did like it. But it wasn't quality. However, the cast was great, and Misha gets handcuffed, and Peter Wingfield still oozes sex (man, I'm rewatching Highlander, and I ship him with everyone and everything--he's got BBOC something awful), and Hill Harper is enjoyable slumming it.
But the plot is stupid, and the effects are execrable.
I have no idea why it would get great ratings--just the cast? Misha's Minions? Methos's Minions?

my better judgment didn't keep me from Spliced, so I better listen to it now.

It won't scar you like Spliced, I'm pretty sure. And it's better looking.

vanguard of the socialist Hollywood liberal homosexualist agenda
Compared to the normal Skiffy Originals, I didn't think it was that terrible. It was shaping up to be an okay B movie, but it needed a side plot and/or romance to keep things going in the middle bits. There wasn't a lot of there there.

It had a vaguely weak romance--I mean, if they'd both been men, we'd have been slashing the hell out of them.
And by we I mean me, if I hadn't been slashing him with Hill's character instead.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Compassionately intolerant
I totally agree with ita. (is that redundant?)
I liked Alice enough that I've rewatched several times.
SA,however, I ended up skipping through to get to the Wingfield parts...begging pardon from my SPN sisters and brothers, I'm not yet a Misha fan.
Which is disappointing, as I did not like Riverworld either.
I'd like Wingfield to be in something other than Highlander that I can truly enjoy. Although, there is plenty Highlander.
