Sci fi tv channel has a place in larger context, how can you innovate when you do not dream about future. And when you dream about global future you get projects like OLPC , open source OS, MIT projects for Africa etc.
But we can dream further .
Einstein said that problems can not be solved with same thinking that caused the problem in the first place, you need a new perspective and new plateau of thinking.
An tv channel that presents a future view is part of such plane.
People, children are being inspired.
Science now only has to convert reality of fiction in SCIFI into todays reality.
So we need to have something that is not commercialized , something that can push will and imagination of an average kid into reality of science and future.
scifi series,movies,books, animations, then questioning of problems exposed in them, a good dose of popular science that should give a push to the global community.
why not talk about planetary defense, why not about global politics, impact of science, scifi view of global warming etc.
BAEN TV , I am definitively for it.
Off course with more content.
And maybe with something more of series of type "Primeval" of ITV and less of Hollywood shit.
