As a former die-hard Sci-Fi Channel viewer it saddens me to read about the direction the channel is going. I miss shows like The Lexx (before the writing began to go downhill), Farscape, and their movies that made an attempt at having a somewhat plausible script. Last night, I attempted watching Sci-Fi's The Fallen Ones starring several B-List actors. I had heard that it wasn't that great of a movie but watching it was actually an extremely painful experience. It was the worst piece of crap I'd ever seen. I'm still hung-over from the brain cells I lost just trying to process that tripe.
On another note, there's a great series currently airing in Canada called Charlie Jade http://www.spacecast.com/charliejade . It's a joint venture between a Canadian and South African production team and it's a great, hard-core, dark sci-fi series. I had hoped that it could get picked up here in the USA. Check out the web site and maybe we can make enough noise to force a network to give it a chance.
