Science Fiction is for people who get it!

My comment to this post, about the Sci Fi channel rebranding:

This is the most ridiculous, stupid, idiotic, imbecilic, asinine, unnecessary thing I've ever heard ( Read more... )

I would be more upset by this stupid marketing move, except the SciFi channel hasn't had quality *real* scifi for a long time. Remember when x-files was good, and it was on the scifi channel? And yeah, BSG does belong on the scifi channel, but I can't quite get over all the B- horror/sci-fi shows they play :(

After BSG is gone they'll get rid of all shows that are set in space, and we'll just have psychics, ghosts, bad original series, and BBC shows they've ported over so they don't have to think for themselves. Oh, and the reality shows they air. The last show I worked on was a reality show for Sci Fi, so I have no love for the network at all :)

blech. The opportunity for another scifi channel to open up is here, so maybe that will happen. After all, nerdiness, conventions, space, etc. are becoming cool to the masses!

What reality show did you work on? Was it the one about superheroes?

No it was called Cha$e, and was billed as a "real life video game."

If it wasn't for the new Stargate, I'd be done with Sci Fi in a week. :/

I just read about that on DHD and I was like, ummmmmm NO. Do not want.

I choose asinine out of your list as the most apt term for use in describing the matter, if only because it gives me the pleasure of using the morpheme ASS.

Yay asinine! It's a very fun word to say :)
