My Letter to the Syfy Channel

after a VERY long hiatus i am back posting here



Below in an act of frustration wrote a letter to the syfy channel let me know what you think either here or on facebook at

Three words that make me seriously confused, Mongolian Death Worms, syfy channels newest attempt at a movie. After seeing this i have to speak up. First off syfy i have been there since the beginning when you were first on Dish networks, when you were scifi, when on Saturday morning you showed reruns of Bionic Six. I was there for Farscape, Firefly, Dark shadows, all of the stargates, eureka, battlestar galactica. I am a loyal fan and that loyalty was rewarded(at least in my view)when you started airing repeats of Jericho, and firefly(Jericho now back on at 1 am but still on)

However i have to speak up about this so what i say next i say out of kindness. syfy your monster movies suck. Look i get it monster, vampires, and magic is more popular now that starships, space marines, or aliens. But you are the syfy channel not the everything that is fantasy channel. The money you could be wasting on movies like this could be put to better use(make a new series, make a season 3 of Jericho or a season two of firefly, try something new. I know you need to make money and doing things on the cheap is a way to stay in the black but there is cheap and there is trash. This is trash, and i will admit it i have not seen it yet and there will be people who will burn me for saying this but look at your past attempts were any of them good. Now Look syfy i will always be a fan of the genre i will always look at new scifi shows and check them out no matter what channel they are on. But these movies are not syfy. Still i don't know whether to be happy you are finally reaching the bottom of the barrel, sad that there may be worse to come, or what. Still i will always have a place in my heart for you but if something dont change soon i will stop watching anything that comes on syfy no matter what it is. right now the only show i watch is Jericho but something has got to give, something has got to change not just for me or the Jericho nuts who stick with you for bringing our show on but for all the scifi fans who deserve a channel for all of us and not just for the ones who want to make cheap movies to make a buck. You may now burn me fir my opinions thanks you for reading.

The Jericho story continues in official S3 - Civil War comic, same writers as show, read about it here: http://tinyurl.com/ycht28n

Issues 1-3 of the comic have been published. The comic is being used to open up new storyline and bring in new characters for the Jericho movie. A script is being worked on for CBS Films.

Dear Scyfy Channel,
Recently NBC has cancelled Heroes. Heroes is very popular science fiction program that is loved by millions of viewers. Millions of us have signed petitions and voiced our disapointment on facebook about the cancellation. We would greatly appreciate it if you would give Heroes a chance and pick it up for a fifth season. Thank you for you time in this matter.

Sincerely,
Amanda
