I don't like the 13 episode seasons and I don't like the the 8 week split in the middle of a 20 week season, and the special effects in the Scifi special movies are god-aweful. Mansquito? And what the hell was that flying dinosaur piece of crap?
But I have trouble hating SciFi channel. As far as I'm concerned anything they need to do to make money and stay on the air is fine by me. I'm old enough to remember when the only choices for science fiction on TV were 34 weekly showings of the same six Star Trek episodes, and 2am reruns of "Krull" and "The Last Starfighter" on some grainy UHF channel.
