SciFi Channel is planning on renaming themselves to SyFy…
I guess when your business is about selling C level TV series about the dumbest things and broadcast absolute shit sequels, concocting stupid names for your company is okay. Anyone catch a bit of Starship Troopers 2 on there? I lasted about five minutes and only because I caught the sex scene…they even used actors that played DEAD characters from the previous movie in as DIFFERENT characters: “Okay, just pretend I wasn’t gored in the last movie and that I’ve got a different name.”
Anyway, maybe they pissed their pants with the success of Battlestar Galactica (a good series ending itself poorly)…or maybe they just think that a small focus group that is getting paid to be there isn’t biased at all. Sure, Whosiwhatsit and Boing might not have been good name ideas but SyFy? Why not call it CyFy? I mean, if you’re worrying about global reach, you know the rest of the world pronounces “Y” as “ee” right? So you’re name is now SeeFee. Brilliant.
What? You’re trying to broaden your reach? Trying to cover all of imagination, not just the sciency part? And you think something that evokes your SciFi name will do that? Why don’t you just call yourself YCSE like the old days of TV and get it over with?
I was already embarrassed for you for the type of craptastic, obviously shot on a set, C-rate “Originals” you put out…now I won’t want to tell people what channel I saw them on…Smumblemumble…What channel was that? (cough) Sorry? No idea…
SciFi or Skiffy as a relative put it onces, welcome to the ranks of those who cannot suck enough!
Suck me
