...and a cherished part of my youth has not only died, but risen as a grotesque zombie shell of its former self. It shambles along with its arms extended, the gravelly cry of "RATINGS!" reflecting the base instinct left in its shattered mind.
I hope there will be a good place to find interesting and quality science fiction media when I have kids. Does one exist that I'm not aware of? |

| I knew it was dying when they changed the channel name from SciFi to SyFy for "better mass appeal". |

I understand they can't afford to make a bunch of new high quality programming like Battlestar Galactica, but I know they could totally afford to show classic B films. They could do that thing where they scroll a live chatroom on the side and people can watch and interact to give it more "kick".
Yeah, but I guess that only appeals to a small demographic. :/
It breaks my heart, truly.
Ahh well, I'll still watch Caprica. |

Actually it's because you can't brand a genre.
And this makes total sense. SyFy is complete trash and a stain on the genre with all of it's horrible giant snake movies, and deserves trash like the WWE. |

| Well, fantasy always gets lumped together with science fiction, so WWE fits right in really. |
