I'd whole heartedly agree. I can't believe the crap that's aired on Sci-fi channel anymore.
What happened to shows like Farscape & BSG? Stargate SG-1 is gone. Three really cool shows that I enjoyed watching. And their Saturday night movies? Yuck. Pure crap, with very, very, VERY bad acting, story lines and plots to the point where it has motivated me to write my own sci-fi screenplay, I hope to write something better than the drivel they're airing now. Then again, as my screenwriting instructor pointed out, you can have a well written and thought out story and still end up with a shitty movie because some dimwitted producer or exec decided to cut the budget, do rewrite or some other insane action.
I'm all for "Baen TV" or some other scifi channel. I've often thought about it myself, wishing I had deep, deep pockets.
SciFi Channel isn't sci-fi anymore.
