That network has been working AGAINST science fiction in general for years. The Anti-Sci-Fi Channel has been steadily removing all science fiction programming. Its current ownership appears to intend to shut down the business as it was once known. They won't pick up a new science fiction show, and if they did, they'd promptly cancel it, as they have been with ALL of their other science fiction shows. Getting a science fiction series to sustain on that channel is far more of an uphill battle than any broadcast network.

Hmmm..no offense...but your post is a little lacking in good, or news. :(

Sci-Fi channel won't touch it at all. It has become a pale pathetic shade of itself. It's like the script to "Revenge of the Needs XIII". Geek Haven and popular network "Sci-Fi Channel" delights and thrills all between 1997 and 1999 with wise decisions, such as taking on Sliders, MST3K, and taking a chance on a show called Farscape.

And then, right around 1999, those damn jocks, who for whatever evil reasons love to torture the nerds, went and bought the beloved nerd channel, and started to turn it into a cynical cash cow that blindly chased from one pathetic mainstream craze to another. And they decide to "move away" from "space shows" you know..one of the main pillars of "sci fi"...

I mean what the hell..did you see it when they showed "Braveheart" last month? What the hell kind of gorram sci-fi movie is THAT!?

*grumble*

No...UPN is our only hope. Sci-Fi will only buy the reruns, if they are made.

I wondered about sci-fi showing Braveheart too, it’s a fine movie, but it's not science fiction by even the loosest definition

Keep Flying.

No, wait, he's a time-traveler! That's how a 13th-14th century Scottish hero was able to wield a 15th-century German sword, wear Scottish fashion invented and popularized in the 16th century, put on makeup reported on the continent from the second century and before, witness a Prima Nocta kidnapping and a mass-murder site of Scottish peace delegates that never happened in his lifetime, and impregnate a French princess who was no more than 6 when he died and wouldn't set foot on his island until three years later! Depending on what other fancy technology he (and maybe his time-traveling nemesis) brought along, that might also explain how the Battle of Stirling Bridge happened with no bridge, or why all evidence of the existence of his wife whom he waged war to avenge was wiped out...

Agree about SciFi...I saw this coming from at least the begining of "Crossing Over" (though i gotta admit that IS fiction) anyway, to the point-

As much as it pains me to suggest it since I don't have it, wouldn't Showtime seem to be the natural place for Firefly given their handling of Stargate SG-1?

I've never heard an SF fan complain about Showtime and certainy there's a lot of creative freedom on a pay channel.

this would only please me in a sense of justice since i wouldn't be able to watch, but it's better than losing it altogether....

I'm fully convinced that none of the managment at the SFC are sci-fi fans at all. They do some good stuff once in awhile (Dune, Children of Dune, pick up rights to B5 broadcast, etc)...but generally they don't know sci-fi from their asses.
