Fuuuuuck.
Strikes me as a stupid decision right up there with some of SciFi's other stupid decisions, especially considering they're not going to have much more BSG in the future, either.
There's more than one way to skin a cat. And I happen to know that's factually true.

Wasn't it doing better in the ratings this year compared to last? "You're showing improvement and generating more revenue. This runs counter to our business model, and must be stopped at once."
Though I must admit, there's a malicious part of me that thinks there could be no more perfect time for Malozzi and Mullie to get the news than in the wake of the Torri Higginson-less episode that chucked Dr. Weir into the Big Refrigerator in the Sky.

Yeah, after BSG runs its last eps and SGA is done, they've only got me for Eureka. Which, yay, but... ah, the days of Sci-fi Friday, how I miss you.

I recently read some blog that had the new scifi/fantasy stuff for the fall season, and sciffy had a few new shows. Of course, they'd be smart to use their old strong shows as lead ins, but what do I know? And in the era of remote controls and TV recording, does a lead in really matter anymore?

It's true - I mean, I watch Middleman, but I have no idea what day or time it airs, because I just watch online. I kind of miss the fun of appointment TV, which Sci-fi Friday pretty much was for me... though sometimes it was the second airing of eps later in the night.

I do know that Sanctuary was made as a web series by some of the people from the Stargate franchise (Martin Wood included) and guest-stars a bunch of SGA people in addition to Amanda Tapping being the female lead. If it takes off enough for them to film new episodes, it'll be like a TV version of a repertory company.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Eep! And that's all I can say right now. Full story later.

Hey guys,
long time no chat....I had lost my password and am lazy, but I have been reading and then have so much to say that I bottleneck and then get overwhelmed.
know, it's weird to cancel every scripted show and THEN try to launch a bunch of new series. Seems counter intuitive. I know they're trying to launch Sanctuary off SGA's back and Revolution off of Eureka - or that's the latest lie I was told.
I got some news though, I'm gonna be writing few comics for the Eureka comic - actually, maybe I'm flattering myself. Andy (Cosby) and Mark (Waid) will be pulling puppet strings and I will be thinking I am writing. We're thinking of a 4 or 5 parter and it would take place inbetween season one and two. It all went down today so I'm really excited about it.
We broke the story and it's AWESOME.
And I'll stay quiet about Ed's death unless you want some info... he's in Bali right now getting marrried.
