I take issue with this quote: "It's very much in keeping with what we've been looking to do -- find themes that are more than just hard sci-fi, something that feels contemporary and relevant and invites a broad audience in," said Sci Fi original programming exec VP Mark Stern. They're rebranding the network and seeking out new shows to avoid being so closely connected with science fiction, because, according to the exec VP, hard sci-fi isn't contemporary or relevant. That's a load of hogwash. "Law & Order" is neither contemporary or relevant. Neither is "American Idol." Science fiction is one of the few genres which constantly strives to be contemporary and relevant. -- Kevin M. (RPCV) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ TV or Not TV ....
