wahaha Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 I blame it on preferential treatment on user avatar size. That's the one area I don't like being limited on, and I've lost interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bones2097 Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 Don't think, it's quite obviously not your strong suit, dear boy. I got the expression right, or as dictionary.com lists it: ''8. cut off one's nose to spite one's face.'' sorry chap, but looks like you took it out of context, the english have a habbit of using one, talking about themselves in the 3rd person, but in our original post you replaced it with my, talking about your self in the 1st... thus not sounding right... its just not cricket!!!

Guest Mrthumps Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 I agree with others that right now the fact that there is little to no sci-fi on tv has probably put a dent into things. In the past few years there's usually been at leats a star trek show running at the same time we get our Dr.who, stargates, Battlestar Galactica and so forth. Without any real "on-going" show things are bound to slow down. Maybe BSG starting up tonight will help get some chatter going. Sci-fi channel's weird scheduling isn't helping matters with these "season intermissions" and non-sense just so they could put on more wrestling. As well, I think it's really sad if you stop posting because your avatar size is limited or that fact the you prefer not to see them. Sometimes, I think people take things on the internet way too seriously for their own good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenebrae Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 Sci-fi doing wrestling (as well as horror) just shows what a laughable moniker it has chosen. One can only hope that in the years to come there will be born unto a channel who honours the name... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They keep the name "SciFi" which should mean, science fiction. Yet each year they show more fantasy stuff like Earthsea and more cheesy horror like Masticore. At least their cheesey scifi like Mansquito are science fiction in their roots. That and I wish they played more of their mini series stuff more often. Both Dune mini series, Taken, The Triangle, The Beast, etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GorunNova Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 It really fits what I've been talking about to some friends of mine... we're in a romantic phase, in the historical sense of romanticism. Science seems to be turning into a dirty word... and science fiction is getting discarded in favor of fantasy. A quote from Jackie Tyler in 'Army of Ghosts' sums it up... "You're always doin' this, reducing it to science. Why can't it be real?" People are pooh-poohing science, and sci-fi as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slug Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 Fantasy is just scifi for people that feel more comfortable with religious style storytelling than actually attempting to find out how things work. I can appreciate the desire for traditional storytelling but really, they need to just grow up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
