How much can be airlocked these days?

Well, it looks like Blood & Chrome may just kiss itself goodbye at this point.

Honestly, I'm not at all surprised judging by the state of how the network is being run lately. From the blatant mistreatment of Caprica to what they've done to Eureka, I don't really have high hopes for this new BSG prequel since it really doesn't look good from where I'm sitting. While I admit to not being incredibly enthusiastic about the new project, still harboring bitter feelings to the network for canceling Caprica after all their talk about being behind any BSG project 100% (lies, all lies), it's still pretty crappy all the same. Quite frankly, I don't think Syfy has any interest in anything science fiction anymore. A few things sure, but they're never long-lasting and they just end up getting canceled midway anyway. What's the point anymore?

Perhaps I had rose-tinted glasses back in the day but, was Syfy always like this? Or has it just gotten worse over the last several years?

Oh, and it seems that Kripke is trying, and failing, to become a multi-tasker now.

Motherfucker, you are not Joss Whedon. Sit your stupid ass down and go back to the show that you abandoned. Fix that shit first before moving onto something else. -___-

Sci-fi (I refuse to use their new ridiculous name) is idiotic. They have always been that way, they have just gotten worse. They don't care about the audience they have, they want a more mainstream audience (even though they are not a mainstream channel). I am totally not surprised by this. They are all about the original movies and wrestling. They are cheap to make and I guess there must be some people watching them.

At least they haven't killed Sanctuary yet, and Alphas is pretty good. So there is still some sci-fi there.

I feel like I need to brush up on my Scifi Channel history because I wasn't an avid watcher until I started watching BSG religiously as I did, and then got hooked onto other things. Though being disappointed by this network isn't something new for me, I've never really liked their system of things (esp the prolonged hiatuses they do, BSG suffered greatly for that and Caprica got canceled because of their mishandling and lack of support behind the show in general) They really don't seem to care for its audience. Which is very sad because I used to think SciFi was one of the rare networks that did. Oh, how naive was I. I mean I'm sure they did for a time, way back in the beginning, but times have drastically changed.

They are cheap to make and I guess there must be some people watching them.

Especially if they have some well-known actor in them to get people watching. Aaron Douglas from BSG is on an original movie tonight, and in the previews they have him saying "let's get the frak outta here" which is to lure BSG fans to watch. Just for him. I did the same thing with Misha for Stonehenge Apocalypse, but it's just a ploy.

Yeah, there is still some scifi in their programming. But clearly not enough. :/
