Going to try and not be a total buzzkill about this, but man, it's such a sore spot for me. SciFi was my go-to channel in my teens, schlocky movie marathons on friday's and wednesday's, late night re-runs of Stargate, The Outer Limits, X-Files, the thanksgiving MST3K marathon, BSG (of course), the commercial bumps and station ID's, loved all of it. Then SyFy happened.
I mean, I like the recent push to get back to quality original shows. Really. The Expanse has turned out great and I enjoyed Killjoys too. I just can't take them seriously when the current channel design looks like it belongs on a lifetime network that seems incredibly out of touch with its audience, and whoever thought it was a good idea to put Wrestling on there (????) is a real genius. Now instead of Wresling (which I think they lost the rights to) they have European Football instead. WTF are they thinking.
I genuinely hope this rebranding effort goes well. Hell put some of those older shows back into rotation. When was the last time they ran BSG? You're telling me nobody wants to watch that stuff anymore? The BBC America channel runs repeats of TNG and it seems to work out great, that kind of programming should be on the SciFi channel.
