Is anything really going to change? I mean honestly. They say " the new brand broadens perceptions and embraces a wider range of current and future imagination-based entertainment beyond just the traditional sci-fi genre, including fantasy, supernatural, paranormal, reality, mystery, action and adventure." Is that a change at all? I some how doubt this name change is going to change my opinion of how crappy I think Sci-fi channel already is. Either way something tells me if I want to watch a really bad movie I can always turn to the SyFy Channel and always be pleased. I read about this earlier today. Is anything really going to change?

Thanks for the quote and the link! I don’t think I’ve ever been quoted before, either. It’s pretty cool.

I think you’re exactly right about the BSG thing. They were already due for a ratings slump from that ending, and this is only going to make it worse. I suspect they’ll come back groveling in a few months, and I just hope no one falls for it.

These were the people who were supposed to “get” us, y’know? They were the ones who were supposed to be giving us the best stuff, the stuff we really wanted. Instead, they’d rather just go for the quick buck and disown a thriving community.

I can only hope that someone else picks this time to step in and fill the gap with a real SF/F TV channel!
