I. HATE. that they renamed it "SYFY." It drives me friggin crazy every time I see it. I'm not really sure what's up with the revamp; if they're trying to appeal to some kind of cutsie-pie audience or something. I guess Warehouse 13 would partially be a testament to that. I feel as though it definitely COULD be a great show (and would fill the void that X Files left for me), but I think that the writing is week and that they go for silly more than good science fiction. Personally, I was expecting some sort of science fiction revisionist history/historical fiction combining historical figures... Which it does a little bit, but it's a bit more mystical magic than I care for... And the actors are pretty bland. I'm disappointed in the show.
Then again, I think that Battlestar Galactica was the best thing for that channel. I think that they need something as hard-hitting as that show was.
I've heard really good things about Eureka. That I'll definitely have to check out.
