I'd guess the parent network had the rights and decided it had to go there. Maybe they hope it will boost ratings, maybe the parent network is required by a contract to have it on air.Yeah. What's with that?
haha, Let's hope. Now with BSG ending, I don't know what they are going to go, although I must admit Stargate Universe looks cool.They'll start that anytime, now.
I am fine with it. If I search for a show on the network in a search engine like hulu or itunes, it sure is helpful if they use a trademarked name as opposed to a descriptive name that gets me tons of results outside of what I was looking for.
As the world grows closer towards feeding TV shows through the net, having a trademarkable name will become much more important. Better to do it now rather than later.
Actually they should just go with the name that makes sense. Sigh....Fi. It seems to be the way the view the audience that is the reason for their very being. To say and do this is a slap in our collective faces. SyFy? Way to catch up to the early decade lingo you corporate jackasses. Not to mention "Imagine Greater"? So they have pretty much fired or killed anyone who knew anything about the English language there i see.
Exactly how is this a slap in the face?
Seriously, how can you be that up in arms over this change?
