Hmmm, the TV Guide listing classifies this flick as Drama/Action/Other. Yup, no SciFi to be found there.
I found the original version of this flick to be quite entertaining, and laughed my ass off through most of the last half of the movie, but this 'sequel' just plain sucks.
My sister in law enjoys this show, which doesn't surprise me, as she believes that her house is actually haunted. Anyway, SciFi Channel continues to have this idea that shows dealing with the paranormal are in some way related to Science Fiction.
This still just drives me totally nuts... I really wish their parent company would stop pushing all this other crap onto SciFi, and just start up another network to deal with this fluff.
Just finished watching the final episode... Not my personal favorite, but right now it's definitely in the top 10, and is one of those that I think will grow on me over time.
I especially loved the musical interlude in the middle, something the show hadn't done before, it worked well, and I'd have liked to have seen something along those lines more often. It really helped stitch the clips together and give a real sense of time passing, the bonds between the team members, etc. The lack of dialog, just watching through the windows, worked quite well.
ECW, Extreme Championship Wrestling, is one of the more ill suited bits of programming on SciFi lately. It ranks right up there with John Edwards' lame show where he tried to convince folks that he could speak with the dead, and is probably only slightly worse than Ghosthunters.
I've always considered science fiction to be generally targeted at a more intelligent audience than other fare, though this tends to be more the case in printed works rather than what makes it into theaters or onto television. Wrestling, to me, has always seemed to be targeted at the opposite extreme, and how it has managed to find a home on the SciFi network continues to elude me.
Yawn. More lame programming, mutant animals, and dry story lines. The 'SciFi Original' label is turning into more of a warning label, it seems...
Apparently the term 'SciFi' doesn't have the same meaning to the network folks as those of us elsewhere, or we wouldn't be treated, and by treated I of course mean quite the opposite, to Horror and Fantasy programming, two entirely separate genres which do not necessarily have an overlapping demographic of fans.
At least they aren't showing ECW as much lately...
SciFi's Battlestar Galactica sucks. This fact may come as a surprise to some, considering the rave reviews that the show seems to be receiving. Of course, these rave reviews are coming from the same lowbrow reviewers that enjoy American Idol and are amazed at the plot twists on the latest Survivor episode.
I could write a lengthy diatribe for each epidode, but that would be giving the show more attention that it deserves. Instead, I'll pick several of my top nits, in no particular order.
Great. After 10 years of being on the air, the brain trust at the SciFi Channel has cancelled Stargate SG1. For the last few years, they've used this show to leverage so much other crap to get viewers, I can't help but feel that they may have shot themselves in the foot one last time...
