Does Syfy (god I hate that spelling...) make anything else good? I know their shark vs. giant anaconda vs. squirrel-thing B movies are usually as trash as it gets. Like the concept of 12 monkeys but I question if they can pull it off.

 

Good movie, but I'm finding it hard to imagine SyFy are going to be able to make a decent series out of the storyline. Wasn't a fan of Helix either, kept watching it but I felt the story and the acting was all over the place, too much seemed to be making it up as they went along.

I agree about SyFy though, they need to get back to their core audience and ditch wrestling and reality programs.

 

The larger story here is SyFy's leadership has changed hands, and they're moving back toward their sci-fi roots.

 

12 Monkeys was great, but I agree that I can't picture how it converts into a series.

 

I'll never forgive them for canceling Eureka.

Poor Sheriff Carter has nothing left but being the new Maytag Man:



He deserves better.....

 

Actually what happened was Comcast came in when they took ownership and basically deemed SyFy to not be making enough money and ordered the stop of their more expensive shows such as Eureka. The execs there have been fighting a long battle to get them to change their minds. That first test was Defiance. That first season cost $40 million for the TV Series alone (perspective....Game of Thrones first season was $60 million).

Whether the ratings come back with more expensive Sci-Fi shows or not remains to be seen, but kudo's to at least giving it a try.

 

Fringe... The most underappreciated show in the last decade. Walter Bishop the most underappreciated character in the last decade. John Noble not winning an emmy is criminal. Love me some fringe.
