It really does seem that the SciFi channel is becoming the SciFi movie channel. Insome ways I don't mind, but in other ways I do.

It has at least given the me the opportunity to watch Wing Commander, the only movie I have ever entirely slept through in the theater.

Rob the game-store owner says they're going after gross ratings. He's convinced they should ditch that, because a well-done SciFi would get low ratings but killer demos, which would mean the same amount of cash... in theory. I suspect low ratings would be a bad sign if cable companies decided to ditch it.

But really, what they're getting now is casual viewers. They're not getting any fans, any dedicated viewers who will tune in regardless of what's on TNN. That's why I think the attitude that led them to kill Farscape will bite them in the ass someday.
