evildrem and dejla both posted about this bit of stupidity earlier, and then a commenter over at Dejla's pointed out this in response. Most excellent.

And stealing from my own comment: So Bill Gates wouldn't have tinkered in his garage if he'd been forced to watch a female Starbuck? Is that about right?

SyFy is turning off both male and female viewers, because (with a few exceptions), they are producing crap. I tend to be more interested in social sci-fi--I love a good dystopia or post-apocalyptic world--but what they are offering as an alternative to the hard sci-fi is not the exploration of the human condition; it's the false drama you get from soap operas. At least soaps don't pretend to be realistic. Of course in sci-fi you have to have some suspension of disbelief. But if I want Days of Our Lives in Space, I'll put on my dark glasses and make ray gun noises while I watch TV.

I actually love this image because you are so right. They have taken bad soap opera - and by setting it on a space ship they think that makes it SciFi ...ooops I mean SYFY

I totally agree with you too.
