Via
wraithfodder, SciFi makes another crap programming decision. And just when I was developing a fannish interest.
Perhaps those who have been following the behind-the-scenes stuff for this show have a better idea of the whys, but I'm baffled. In my opinion, SciFi's development department has not been doing well recently (Flash Gorden? Scare Tactics? Wrestling?). BSG is done. The buzz for Caprica is not that good, and my other favorite show on SciFi is BBC's Doctor Who, which is not producing a regular season next year. What's left on the slate? Weak development ought to mean that bubble shows live to see another year. And my understanding was that Atlantis's ratings were fairly solid. What gives (except that the execs at SciFi are morons)?
