just like every other corporate entity (syfy, ccp, my employer, anywhere i look) focus is always on immediate short term gains.
any trace of customer loyalty/satisfaction, long term strategy and investment and anything else that requires a responsible though-out plan is dumped.
i refuse to watch the channel, i'll be damned if i'm going to sit through their ads and those of their sponsors. the channel is being driven into the ground and i won't support it. dvds? lol, yeah right.
i'll download everything on torrent and to hell with them.
as a customer, why would I keep shopping somewhere when every time i walk into the store they yank the carpet out from under my legs and say "sorry, cleaning, you understand" ??
what is the quote? "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results" Someone wants to run a business model that doesn't spit in my face? I'll watch your channel and at christmas i'll buy your dvd sets. otherwise, internet AWAY!!!!!!

Saw that one coming to be honest but sucks donkey balls anyways. The show was just gaining momentum and than this. I tell you now it'll end in an epic cliffhanger that never gets resolved since a couple of weeks ago the writers announced that they had a 5-year story laid out for SGU. Well so much about that.
But the syfy morons killed the show even before it started. Moving of timeslot. First mistake. Making a show so much different in style than stargate so far, definitely made for another audience and advertising it beforehand as it would still be the stargate we all know. Second Mistake (doesn't attrackt new viewers who didn't like SG before and old "fans" won't like it).
And third, the biggest mistake was the financing of the show. They said it had a budget of over 2 million bucks / episode. Sure just about 1 million viewers isn't nearly as much as it would take to make it a success on the CEO's wallet. So I ask here: Why the hell didn't they did, what they had done before with BSG? Let some other guys pay for it as well? BSG wasn't only paid for by SyFy but also by Sky1 in the UK. Maybe some other channels that broadcast it too and hey 1 million viewers is all you need.
Yeah sure and they don't care if people DVR it or buy it on iTunes because of the advertising crap. Anyhow. SyFy is on the best way of become worse than FOX.
I just hope they really nail it with BSG: Blood & Chrome and don't do the same crap all over again.
Sad side effect of this is, after 14 years of constantly running on TV they probably just killed the Franchise with that move(s). Don't think that there will be another SG themed TV show in the forseeable future. See what they did with star trek after enterprise got canceled (prematurely too in my opinion).

I remember when SciFi used to be about SciFi. Old Dr. Who, Twilight Zone, coverage of various SciFi conventions, interviews with writers and producers and other celebrities. There was some truly innovative programming and a lot of just weird but cool stuff late at night.
It's really a shame that they decided to start catering to the lowest common denominator, and in the past few years it has become a really, really worthless channel. And the name change to "Syfy"? Seriously?
Yet another victim of trying to be everything to all people and in the end being nothing at all.

SGu sucked anyway. The only thing they did was running around on that darn sapceship, and it was dark, and someone locked somebody else in aroom. And the got mad, and the power broke, and the fixed it. And they saw ghosts, and some aliens, and the lights went out and they never left the spaceship.

SGU was kinda dissappointing in the first season. However, i drudged through and it steadily improved - Season 2 got off to a good start and has gotten very good in the last few episodes. I will have to kill the writers for
( spoiler alert )
killing off Ginn and forcing that stupid Young/Rush conflict way past it's expiration date. It finally ended, the show was gaining massive momentum after the seed ship episode, but now it's gone.....
Yeah, whoever's running SyFy are a bunch of idiots. They just condemned the channel to have to survive purely on year-to-year budgets with nothing to fall back on - Which means they'll probably go the MTV route and not actually make any sci-fi anymore, only showing soaps.
And for the record, Rush and Wallace rocked. If Ginn was still there they'd have had a pretty good trio to build the rest of the show around.

Doesn't surprise me. Not because i have any agenda against SyFy but because SGU was ****. A huge reason SG1 and SGA were a success was the humour, SU has nothing in that regard. Coupled with an unoriginal/uninteresting plotline doesn't make it something i'd make sure to record each week.

If someone pays syfy for commerical space when showing a rerun then it certainly makes them money. Maybe not as much as can be charged with an original show but then again the license for reruns are usually dirt cheap so not much was spent to recoup. Besides there are tons of quality and not so quality older scifi shows out there that a good chuck of the younger target audiences have never seen so then it wouldn't be a rerun for them. They could do special days like a saturaday afternoon pulp scifi block with shows like buck rogers(both the original and the 70's with gil gerard) and many other campy shows. But alas the only thing on the corporate mentalitys mind is max profits so the limited but positive revenue that would be generated from running reruns would not be enough to feed their 6 figure bonuse appetites.

Looks like the US syfy is going to become the same as the UKs syfy, endless reruns or crappy direct to dvd movies that no other channel would touch. SGU deserves to die however, killing off SG1 and then Atlantis to replace it with pile of garbage was unforgivable.
I feel bad for Robert Carlyle though, hes a talented actor and it might look bad having a series axed from under him like this.

Yes but do you think he was really acting? Trying to get a pile of **** flying surrounded by ******s, I think Carlyle was Carlyle on set and to get into his 'role' he only ever needed to read the script. 'What, we got nothing to work with this week either!?'

SciFi/Fantasy in general takes longer than a normal show to build up. The reason is because you have to explain the world, it is different than our world in some way and probably many ways. Thus not only do you have to character build you have to world build.
It is rare for a SciFi/Fantasy show to last more than 1 season on its first run. However if they do spin off another show at a later time that one is generally more successful.
The problem with SGU compared to SG1 and SGA is that it changed the entire format of the show, it was no longer familiar. While SGA differs from SG1 you have some similar plot elements. A SG command, an almost unbeatable enemy, etc. Thus unlike most sequels it no longer appealed to the original audience. Thus it died. Its a formula that happens time and again.
Let's look at BSG. The series was more popular than it was in 1978. It had built up a culture. However when the made Caprica they made the same error they did with SGU, they presented a world that was far different from what BSG fans was accustomed to. Thus they lost the base at the start, it then becomes an effort to win them back over. To me Caprica was more Pulp Fiction than it was Sci Fi, and I could not imagine how they went from this to being the spacefaring people we see in BSG. Sadly Caprica followed some errors of Galactica 1980.....child genius, changed genre (from space opera to planetside) and ultimately suffered the same fate as most have no clue what Galactica 1980 is today. Shame they ended the new BSG series such that it couldn't have a sequel.
Star Trek was panned by most critics, it was bad acting, poor special effects but in the end it paved the way for most TV/Movie Sci Fi in the coming decades. It would also spawn TNG which was a far better series with excellent actors, good writing, etc. This spawned DS9 which changed the formula...went to station base instead of space, had excellent actors, writing etc but was not as successful. In Voyager they returned to the more tried and true formula but put the ship in a sector of space not familiar to the audience. It did fairly well though could have been better I believe if we'd had a different actress for Janeway. The main problem with Voyager is that it was hard to explain how the ship seemed always in perfect shape, despite the fact it had no resupply, I mean they mention it now and then but never stops Janeway from using torpedoes etc, Enterprise returns us to the past a more familiar area of space, good writing, excellent actors, back to exploration and acting with some controls from what will become Starfleet.
I do believe the SyFy channel like History, TLC, Discovery, MTV, VH1 etc has probably seen its best days behind it. Shame really we could use a good science fiction show. Wouldn't be bad to see one based on the EVE Universe, based in the past explaining perhaps how the Empires arose and how they met. Concentrating on the war, subjugation of the Minmatar, etc. (Though once you have such a show to add to the canon material you'd need to closely watch the writing etc to be sure they didn't mess anything up)

Originally by: El'Niaga stuff
Scifi/fantasy doesn't really take that much longer to build up. The makers just feel the need to waste huge amounts of time doing that. You can tell the viewers everything relevant in a pilot episode at max and the rest comes naturally with the normal stories. The biggest mistake you can possible make is start putting the story on hold in an effort to explain things to the audience. A fantastic world should be treated like a trip to a foreign country. There are a few oddities that pop up, but the visitor(audience) doesn't need to know all that much to still keep up and you certainly don't need to explain those oddities to the viewer.
Think starwars episode 4 here. There is no need to explain things to the audience. The first scene tells it all. There is war, the sides aren't evenly matched and the other side is ruthlessly evil. One carefully crafted entertaining scene and you know everything you really need to know. All the finer details are learned when one of the protagonists, the simple outsider farm boy, learns them too.
As for STA and STU, they just weren't particularly entertaining. They were weak repeats of previous plots with a change of scenery. SGU didn't even have a plot as far as I followed it. I imagine the thought went something like this: "Hey let's put a group of people in a strange situation, stranded from the rest of humanity and have them solve a new problem each episode. No one has done this already and certainly not better than us." Problem being just putting people in a unusual setting doesn't make for an entertaining show and BSG and Lost were both much better at this. I haven't watched Caprica and don't know what it is even supposed to be about, so I can't really comment on it.
As for ST. The original series was good and you can still watch the episodes today. TNG was good too(less so in the first season), with nice stories and good actors. I agree partly on DS9, but it only got good after the first season and IIRC closer to the third. That is a huge amount of episodes practically wasted before thing became interesting. I love DS9, but I can't watch through the early seasons, because they are so boring and uninteresting. No doubt this caused many other people to lose interest in the series too.
I'm calling BS on your voyager and enterprise analysis though. Both series were just horribly bad in almost every area and fight for the title of the worst ST series ever made. Personally I blame the incompetent writers for most of the series problems. Voyager doesn't even at times make any sense(internal logic of the ST universe) and has horrible characters you wish would die in every episode(Neelix I'm looking at you, but really the doctor was the only good one.). The setting was a problem in the sense, that they removed most of the interesting parts from the series that people had grown to love, but didn't have anything to replace it with. It got so bad, that they were finally forced to fell back to using the borg in season 3 because all their original ideas were failures. It was a god awful piece of trash most of the time, with a few good episodes mixed in.
Enterprise had potential, but it is pretty bad too. The crew is incompetent and certainly far from the material you would expect the from such a prominent starship. Most of the episodes aren't that well done or written and some are repeats of old episodes from previous ST series. The temporal cold war plot is a horrible mess, that doesn't make sense. It almost seems like they were just mkaing things up on the spot and cramming it in without thinking it through. Again it didn't start of as horrible, but it was boring most of the time and got bad later and better again at the end, but at that point people had abandoned it.

Stargate:BSG, i.e. Gray's Anatomy in space, will not be missed.
It is a sad state of affairs for Sci-fi TV in general. Maybe one day CCP will man-up and procude an EVE series, god knows, there's a market for one. Woudn't even mind if it was all CGI.

The first season was a total and utter piece of crappage. Stillwater FTW.
I liked SG1, SGA and there were a FEW nice episodes on SGU but it wasn't even nearly as good as SG1 and SGA ever were.
Unfortunately.

I will never watch syfy again. WWF is a dumb ass move on their part. I don't know what these execs are thinking about.

Pack of tools.
It's a two stage makeover to SyFy Diaz, a channel that will only air light comedy with a hispanic flavor and of course the Phantom Menace as they got the rights to that stinkfest thrown at them. Jar Jar Binks will be rolling down the barrio in his lowrider solving crime and dropping annoying oneliners.

hint: it's green and paperlike 
the WWF on syfy evidently gets double the ratings of their regular shows while adding extra viewers to their other friday night programming (ie, sanctuary). Come for the wrestling, stay for the [low-budget] original programming and SPOOKY GHOSTS! _____________________ Look down. Back up. Where are you?

I do wonder whether the people hating on SGU have managed to get into season 2. Season 1 was rather horrible, with a few exceptions, but season 2 picked it up rather dramatically... good.
Especially once, as i said before, the conflict between the two 'leaders' ended and Destiny's mission was revealed. I really want to know more about the race that created that solar system, and the source of that cosmic signal... That's not exactly BSG anymore is it.
For that matter, SGU never had the faith vs science thing going on. While it had elements of tempting faith it never succumbed to it. It had the shaky cam, close-ups, ship of humans far away from 'home'... The background was entirely different, admittedly it only really came into play in 1 season 1 episode and season 2.
Ugh. I love the Destiny. But i love Ancient lore anyway. Flying through a star never gets old.

Edited by: Grek Forto on 21/12/2010 23:25:58 I'm just gonna leave this here. Also, good riddance.
I would trade two seasons of SGU for a single episode of Firefly!

Didn't SG1 have a joke episode where they replaced the cast with a younger ones.. That's the way I felt about SGU. It was too slow, too much drama for not enough gain in story.
Rush was a cool character, but... ah the drama.
Also, a big new BSG fan, I bought the br boxset and liked it all save the last 10mins of the series finale.
But Caprica as said above, just lost me, I tried to watch it, but failed.
Anyway I dont have much hope for new scifi series. Money is too easy with reality crap, x ****ing factor, and ****e to warrant the networks spending big money per episode scifi with limited audiences..
Back to books I think.
I got ganked at Za'Ha'Dum, but I am ok now. |

Indeed they had. And they also said in that episode that the logo at the start of each series would just *boom*, appear and then fade out. It was like predicting the future.

I thought that was parodying the past? I heard that SG1 had a really short title screen for one or two season before season 10 but the fans whined so much that Sci-Fi changed it back to the long version.

Hint: If the channel name sounds more like a STD than what the people who picked the name wanted it to sound like, SOMETHING IS HORRIBLY WRONG.
