Maybe there will be a new scifi channel not associated with NBC etc. Hopefully a scifi channel that actually picks up shows like Blake's 7. I don't think those at SYFY understand their audience at all. They could have produced a series like Starhunter which had a low-budget compared to the shows on the majors.  They seriously need to stop making their own originals and just go back to re-runs until they can get someone who knows how to target the audience and not disrespect them.

@strawberryfilmmaka I couldn't agree with you more. It is about respect. Content makers that respect their audiences produce smart, funny, deep content that becomes classic. I like camp and schlock, but I like it because it's a train wreck that I can't turn away from. I'll rent Plan 9, I _own_ Firefly, Serenity, Red Dwarf, etc. Sub-grindhouse drek will not generate a cult following. I'd rather rent Zardoz than watch bad actors with a bad script and bad effects. Zardoz (bleck!) had Sean Connery!

Cornjob, opinions are like assholes - everyone has one. Fortunately, I get to put my opinion on a site that the world can view ... all for my own entertainment. Do I care if anyone views my video or shares my views? Nope. I enjoyed recording my opinion. People have agreed with me, people have disagreed and people have even made fun of me. We've all participated and all enjoyed the process. Thanks for participating, Cornjob. I think I'm inspired to make another video, all because of you!

Wow! HZ - you win! *applauds!*

I have never been so subtlety and eloquently and literately insulted! Well done! I'm laughing my fat ass off!

The TIE fighters - I forgot those were even there! I have a TIE fighter, bomber and Darth's TIE sitting on my desk at work (not mint, not in box). I wanted a few more, so I bought the cheapest ones I could find on eBay ($12 total). My job is going so badly and my ass is SO fat, I've never gotten around to taking those to work.

And about "Death Valley Revenge Of Blood" or whatever, sci-fi has always had crap like that on. It's too bad they canceled Mystery Science Theater 3000, or they could just show the same movies they air right now on MST3K.

@strawberryfilmmaka But they better have great stories to make up for it.

@jericho444 I've seen better more interesting fan films than the drek they put on. And yeah Star Runners was cheesy. LOL But I do think that could have been a cool sf series. Problem is they'd be doing the series so it would probably turn out crap or be a great show and they'd pull it off the air. I don't mind cheesy sets, use of sound stages for outside locations ala Star Trek etc. It can be as cheap as it wants to be. LOL

Your rant about this channel is so right jericho. SF channel is in worse shape than cartoon network. I wish they'd at least keep MST 3000 on there,but they won't even do that anymore. Imho,this channel just might as well die at this rate. Here's to what we had,the old sci fi and CN,may they be remembered as they were.

SyFy always has crappy B movies, I find them funny to watch

[EZMosquito11]

Syfy or whatever stupid name they invented sucks!!

[TheGarfieldxx30000]

[gimee50k]

Most of the shows make sci-fi look like a joke.

@jericho444 Did I mention I was a Pink Floyd fan? I just looked at the video again and I'm wearing my Division Bell tee-shirt. Hee. :)
