Comment Re:Accountants and the SyFy name change (Score 1) 742

I agree changing the name is like putting up a jolly roger. The real issue is you have to look for good science Fiction elsewhere these days and some other cable channels are stepping up like BBC America, TCM, AMC, or Chiller even. You just have to be observant. I for one say thank god for DVD and Blu Ray.

Comment We built this channel (Score 1) 742

We (and by that i mean the geek community at large) made this channel what it is today. Our taste may have changed over the years and it has gained new fans as kids grew older. I think at the core it is still a geek based channel but alot of us who were fans back in the day have gotten older and perhaps jaded. What it means to be a geek has changed and it may not be in line with our thinking. Personally I hate this channel now and make the choice not to watch most of it's programming because it holds no interest for me but I see that is not true with the younger generation. So I make the distinction that I would love to see The old school Galactica, Science Fiction movie classics IE: The Day The Earth Stood Still (1951), Forbidden Planet, Classic Star Trek being broadcast that may not be the consensus nowadays and i am not a majority but a minority. The channel has changed with it's audience and it's audience has grown.

Given all the bad press that Verizon has had lately I ask myself are they any more evil than other big corporations? Personally having worked for HP and AT&T I don't think so it just that this one incident became public which is why I am independent these days because I simply cant do what these corporations demand without loosing my humanity.
