the thing that bothers me is that it was all so unnecessary.

Boxed Set, Vol. V: Just a Hint of Denial and a Dash of Retcon
A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
Ok, so that's really obscure....
Was that from their KTMA days?

W13 -- wait, there's a QUARTZ MINE in FLORIDA?
I mean, only if there's an EVILE QUARTZ ASTEROID that landed there a couple of millenia ago or whatever.

So, you're saying that it was METEOR ROCK that was messing with people on Warehouse 13?

Could be, could be.
(Is there any mining in Florida at all?)

Yes, but what were the ratings for Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus and how sharp was the half-hour drop-off once everyone realized it sucked?
Years ago, I went to a thing where the head of SciFi development/programming/something spoke about the cheesy B movies they did. He said it was their bread and butter because they were super cheap to make and did well enough in the ratings with a certain demographics.
No idea how that fits in with the new SighFie image.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
because they were super cheap to make
I certainly believe Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus was cheap to make. The biggest cost must have been the stock footage. And however much money it cost to purchase the actors' souls.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
No idea how that fits in with the new SighFie image
I assume "makes money for the network" fits in pretty well to any corporate image.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
The biggest cost must have been the stock footage.
Don't forget all those fancy chyrons. There were more locations than a typical X-Files episode!

I meant that I just don't know if their desired demos have changed.
I certainly believe Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus was cheap to make.
