Oh well, this is Slashdot, I shouldn't be surprised. Let's try to remember, folks, as Brian says "You're all different" with differing tastes, different likes and dislikes. I know of some who wouldn't watch SGU just because they didn't like the Rush character, some who only became fans after the head-butt. The bottom line for me (as it should be for SyFy, or Hulu, or Netflix, or Roku, or Tivo, or Comcast, or anyone else expecting to make any money on distributing content) is this is one less show I'll be watching, a few fewer advertisers making their living hawking me their goods, a couple more actors waiting tables, one more step on the path to economic oblivion.

How can anyone expect to develop a following (in the age of ADD) moving a show's airtime and throwing hiatus everywhere? Not even capable of posting episodes in order? How hard is it to find both cheeks -- you have two hands!

I guess I should be happy; since SyFy's dropped the ball, as soon as my kids are too old for Disney Channel I can dump cable altogether.

Don't give up so easily, KingSkippus! I started on SG1 (in the "using Hulu to kill time" mode) even though I had seen many of them when originally aired, then went on to SGA (although I never groked the series when it was on)... I still liked SGU, and I'm sorry to see it go. One of only three prime-time drama shows (others: the Event and Fringe) that grab me from the current selection. So, check out the older series; there are a few gems among those episodes to satisfy any fan's craving.

Darwin had the answer.

Yesterday's News (from Gizmodo)

If the Zombies are after brains, they should steer clear of Washington, D.C.

Since the majority of us Americans can't be bothered to take an active role in our governing process, it should be no surprise that our representatives fail to do so as well.

Unfortunately, the only way to accomplish that mission is to eliminate the source. No, I mean the secrets, not Wikileaks.

just wondering, but it seems too appropriate to discard.

I really find myself surprised I agree with a lot of what Spinner has to say here -- political cynicism, lawyers (don't get me started...), the slippery slope American democracy's on, but I don't think he's pointing the finger at the right folks, so yes, I'm modding him down...

extraordinarily insightful commentary, as usual.
-tips hat-

uhm, who's trolling? Here is the consensus definition... "with 'trolling' being used to describe many intentionally provocative actions outside of an online context."

If I may be so bold as to suggest, well some intentionally provocative suggestion to better your perspective and improve your love life, as opposed to spending so much clearly productive time here.

As far as I'm concerned (posting with my fifty year old eyes) holding my measly iPhone 3Gs as close as twelve inches away from my face is far too close! Typically over 2 feet, sometimes on my lap (reading from the Kindle app), etc. So, as with most user-mitigated responses (and Slashdot threads), the reality is all over the map, and your mileage may vary. Many post closer to the actual, pointing out this is much the same as arguing over how much "new and improved" is actually better.

Hey, I am one of them, and it was super bad ass, but I wouldn't go back...
