Oh sorry, it is now "Syfy" because apparently, the switch from 'ci' to 'y' makes it some how more, Science Fictiony. Or someone woke up one day, had to put the transparent writing in the corner of the shows and thought "Eff this. I'm tired of looking at the same logo every single day" and the 'y' was born.
Yeah, I've got too much time on my hands.
Currently I'm watching ...well crap it's something Ark. Archeology Ark? I'm not sure. The woman who played Gabrielle in Xena stars though. Who naturally is the long lost descendant of a tribe of people sworn to protect the earth and the secret of some monster (Hello plot of Mummy) who of course doesn't know she is because her parents died, she was raised by her grandmother who conveniently dies when she is 16, three years before she is to be told of her heritage and the old bat doesn't think to leave a letter for her to open on her 19th birthday and no one is in search of her. So instead of protecting the secret, she's part of the team who unleashes the apocalypse. Chaos, mayhem, and bad special effects ensue (it wouldn't be the Syfy channel without bad special effects. Jus' sayin')
So they run around trying to catch the monster with a large army Sergent in charge who mostly just threatens to kill people instead of actually doing much other than missing the creature entirely, or not learning that bullets won't penetrate its skin.
My big question. If these people can't kill it with any modern weapons (which lets face it, out rank any weapons of biblical times in creativity of explosions alone) how the hell is the creature held in some 'dog wood box' when the thing can pretty much pick up a military Humvee and throw it like a football.
The ending? The creature in it's miracle dog wood box with a large "Property of The Church. Do Not Open" on it, the camera goes wide and dum dum dum... shows dozens to hundreds of other boxes the same size or larger than said box. Oh the possibilities for terrible sequels.
But hey, kudos for the logo change. I know it's made the shows much more believable to me.
And that's a random Saturday rant for you. It could have been avoided if I'd just remembered the fact that Syfy shows (other than Sanctuary) annoy the living pee out of me.
I would have read, however I set the book on the couch and went to get it later, it was gone. I ask Caitlyn and she says "Oh hey! I found a book on the couch." "Great, what did you do with it?" "Huh? It's not there." looks on couch "It's not there!" (She did bring it to me much later when I was already absorbed in watching a show. Having put it under the couch when she found it.
Hope everyone's weekend is going great!

I can't stand SyFy. Is that their logo now? Anywho, I go looking for stuff all the time that J&J have "moved". Most of the time it is funny where it ends up, but sometimes I really want what I'm looking for "RIGHT NOW!". :D
haha! Fantastic commentary! :D I'm not a big "syfy" fan (really, what is up with the y?!) My sister is, I just can't get in to it.
One thing I like to tell expectant parents is. Be prepared to never find something where you left it and always be confused and dazzled as to where it is found.
I don't mind Syfy shows occasionally, I do like Sanctuary a lot. But sometimes, you get a really, really terrible one.
