I had hopes for WH13 but it is not keeping my attention. I start channel surfing about 20 minutes in. Too bad. Great idea.

SGU may be good but it looks to soaped up from the trailers. Dedicated SG1 fan here.

I read that SyFy may be adding some new programming.

As if ECW wasn’t enough, they may be adding a few food shows and reality programs. They want to increase their female viewership.

I watch WH13 online, at 43 minutes it holds my attention.
If I had to endure 17 minutes of ads I’d be surfing too.

The first friday in October SGU premires, the friday after that is the season premire of Santuary. Both shows look pretty good to me. Neither one of them holds a candle to Galactica, though.

What’s playing on BBC? I may have to hit the torrents for a SciFi fix.

You have Fringe starting it's second season on Tuesday. I believe it has changed its night to Thursdays and will begin on the 17th.

SyFy pretty much blows now.

This Ghost Hunter crap really jumped the shark.
Don’t even mention the wrestling crap.

They want to increase their female viewership.

Which explains the reruns of "The Ghost Whisperer", which is also running on WE.

Last week's Defying Gravity was pretty lame with the candy commercial in deep space while more and more of the crew falls victim to their own hellish dreams and hallucinations.

They need something huge to pull up the show out of its self-induced doldrums.

Warehouse 13 rocked with Claudia, Pete and Myka keeping the Warehouse from imploding while Artie and Mrs. Frederick faced off with the Regents.

Looking forward to the Three Musketeers confronting something Edgar Allen Poe~sian for next week's season finale.

Eureka got a long needed shot of testosterone with the return of Jim Taggert (Matt Frewer) helping to solve the mystery of a huge Arctic Core.

Fringe has been doing a re-run warm up to Thursday night's premiere.

Still looking forward to the return of Dollhouse

The impression I get from comments on some of the TV sites is that it is gone after about episode 8, even though they produced 13 (IIRC).

Regarding that Privateers short - Is that the dude from Chronicles of Riddick? Maybe with a budget and a script, it could go somewhere.
