You know what I’ve always thought the SciFi channel was missing in its lineup? Wrestling! If there’s one thing you must have as part of a science fiction show schedule, it’s wrestling. The SciFi channel has recently announced that ECW will be added to its show lineup. So, in addition to horrible movies about killer animals, the Scifi channel will now have live coverage of grown men hitting, throwing, and pinning each other inside a bouncy ring. What’s more “scifi” than that!? How about anything else?! Jesus! How freaking retarded are the execs at the SciFi channel? Do they have even the slightest idea what SciFi fans want? As I’ve said in an earlier post, the SciFi channel only has a couple of decent shows : Battlestar Galactica, Stargate, and Dr Who. (and Doctor Who isn’t even a SciFi production.) They need to get a frickin grip. Seeing them do crap like this pisses off Science Fiction fans everywhere. It’s time for some SciFi channel execs to get fired so that some people who know what the hell the SciFi fans want can take their place. <\/p>\n
