Nothing stands out with the crappy looking gray CGI crap.

Well, you're partially right. It's just a name for the most part. That said, they do have a few real gems over the years. If you think great CGI = great Scifi, you're as ignorant as your posts. Some of the best Sci-fi ever written had next to no special effects.

Don't like it? Don't watch it.

They may be, but I'm still blaming the powers that be over at LOST for stretching two seasons or episodes into 3 and giving Scifi the idea.

Wish there was an alternative for some real sci fi. Old Battle Star was way better. Not aimed at women.

I thought SciFi did that first with BSG. I remember having an insane break (13 months IIRC) between season 1 and season 2, and then everyone going ballistic when they realized season 2 was being split in half (so SciFi could sell 2.0 and 2.1 DVD sets....) with a nearly year-long break in between, and then another year-long break before season 3.

They've done this kind of garbage the whole run. I often wonder if it would have higher ratings (and hence run more than 4 years...) if it was on the kind of schedule they run the stargates on (season split in half, but both halves aired in a single calendar year...).

Yeah, cheesy melodrama ripoffs of "The Guns of Navarone", "The Towering Inferno", A Spaghetti Western featuring a cylon gunslinger named "Redeye", bad fantasy novels featuring unicorns, Space Farmers attacked by mutant pig-rustlers and a robot dog are just so superior to actual character-driven Drama.

BSG might be aimed in part at women, but the original (while one of the best dark premises in Sci Fi) was a kiddie-fest, bad prosthetic, planet of the week, Star Trek wannabe that didn't know the difference between a Galaxy and a Star System.

Sure, I liked it when it aired for what it was...a kids show. With that cast, it could have been epic. Sadly, the demands of 1970's Network Primetime killed any chance for depth or drama it had.

I'd forgotten about Season 2. I had a hell of a long wait for Season 2 as well, as I watched the first season when they were shown on Sky 5 months before the US release. Gotta love the internet.

Don't forget the refugee paramedic from "Emergency" and his two gay singing and dancing robots!

Heh. I just realized one of them was Ray Bolger, the Scarecrow from The Wizard of Oz.

Fred Astaire as Starbuck's Father and the "Nomen" chasing him with laser bolas was a hoot too.

The funniest thing is, I bet if you asked all of us, we'd all say we hate the SciFi channel. It just so happens that despite what they air the other 6 days/23 hours of the week, they air the best show on TV, and one of the best shows of all time, BSG.

Yeah, I bet their guys that work on the sci-fi movie of the week can't wait for BSG to be gone, so that their respective shows can get some more money for production. LOL

The Miniseries was shown just before New Years in Dec. 2003, the US series premiered in Jan. of 2005.

IIRC, They started showing Season one on Sky in August or September 2004. Smart move. I think the word of mouth from those of us that downloaded and watched them boosted the numbers when the series was getting off the ground here. Not that "33" needed much help. That's one of the best hours of TV I've ever seen done in any genre.

You're welcome.

SciFi could really make my day by doing a three part miniseries to wrap up the Jericho Second Civil War too. They could...but they won't.

I think you could double those budgets and it still wouldn't make them watchable, lmao.
