Probably subsidizes the regular low rating shows.

Ascension, which was a miniseries from last year, got a green light for a series this year?

This will be Continuum's last season, and it will only be 6 episodes.

I hope they can wrap it up properly.

I think continuum is a canuck show that they're renting-- whatever you call it. I know that it was at first, but I guess sci fi might have taken it over.

Of the shows I've seen on that list, most aren't very good, unfortunately.

Didnt know they were making a version of childhoods end, that might be interesting.

I agree, but it's not that great. Walking dead is just terrible, and boring.

Z Nation is actually entertaining.

They move the plot and story along. I don't have to sit through an entire episode of people walking around and talking.

It's produced by The Asylum, so they poke fun at themselves and the genre. It's great. Hell, the spin they put on the zombie outbreak (including murphy) is far more interesting than anything TWD has done.

they should restart Stargate and Firefly. I'd watch it if they did that

I just found out that the Almighty Johnsons is on SyFy. Quirky, funny show. I also found out that there will not be a season four, which sucks.

I watched Helix last night. CDC guy brought a handgun with him. told the CDC girl who is anti gun: "I'm from Texas, we don't go to the bathroom without a gun".
and later he said: "Coast guard food was terrible. chili with beans. come on that's just wrong"

Honestly, as much of a Firefly fan I am, at this point I would rather see a show following the Galactica during the war.

Blood and Chrome sucked ass.

The big bad Cylons were based on an emo 14 year old girl. Riiiight.

Oh yea, by the way, the shows I listed are NEW shows, not recycled crap from years ago.

That was the other series. And, yes, it did suck. Blood and chrome was about the cylon war, you can watch the pilot online, it was pretty good. IMO, the only problem was that the lead guy they got looks like he's about 12.

This. Walking Dead's biggest failing is it's fucking boring. How do you make a zombie apocalypse boring?

I just finished Episode 3, Season 3 of the Walking Dead. It took me 2 years to get through Season 2.
