once upon a time ~ I predicted that all the cable networks would turn to Mexican wrestling.
Sci Fi started with a great vision and even had Roddenberry and Asimov as advisors in the beginning. It aired Battlestar Galactica, probably the best sci fi produced in years. Sci-Fi was smart enough to pick up Stargate SG-1 and give it a few more good years, and create the successful spinoff Atlantis when SG-1 started losing its edge.
It’s the multiple sell-offs and reacquisitions turning it into just another media asset that eventually killed it.
