Bonnie Hammer is the Bunion of Fandom

[ithildin]

I swear, does this woman never go away? Can't she go mess with, I don't know, the Biography Channel? More than a decade after the crap she pulled with Forever Knight, she's still a thorn in the side of fandom.

settiai has the scoop.

What did she do to Forever Knight?

[dejla.livejournal.com]

Killed it.

She was the one behind all the 3rd season crap like making them do a wrestling episode to push USAs Wrestling show, and she lied straight up when she said if FK had a certain rating they wouldn't cancel it. It did, it surpassed it, but it was canceled anyway. Though that was due ion art to the deal they made with the Highlander producers. Basically, if they axed FK, they offered rerun rights for the earlier seasons of HL for a vastly discounted rate.

As you can see from the comments, there's lots of FK fans who still curse her name :)

A wrestling episode?! Good G-d! I didn't see much of season 3, and now, I'm kinda glad I didn't.

Wow, I didn't realise I had been hating her for that long--I didn't know until now that she had a hand in making FK the atrocity it was in S3 and was only mad in a general sort of way. And here I thought my Bonnie Hammer hate began when Farscape was killed off. Excuse me, I must go and stew in bitter bile and venom for a while... so much lost time to make up for.

ETA: And "Syfy"? I said it on someone else's LJ and still maintain that it looks like an abbreviated way of spelling syphilis.

Well it is Polish for VD, so you aren't far wrong!

And I'm still laughing--even harder. Thank you for that. It was a great read.
