Cool Sci-Fi channel gets ruined.

They lost it tonight, the big Q was bad enough but during Outer Limits they kept popping up a symbol for National Viewers Census covering about a third of the screen.

I was excited about the SciFi Channel when I first got Sky, but to be honest I have been disappointed by it - there is very little on it worth watching! The logos are usually more interesting than the shows!!

I didn't mind the original saturn logo when white too much but now they've gone red and added that poxy Q it's utter BS.
Plus they are editing The Outer Limits. It bemuses why Sky One can show it and other stuff late uncut but other channels edit them for earlier showings only to keep it so for late repeats, insulting and annoying.
Even BBC Choice is adding ->new<- to theirs'. Disgraceful.

Hi Ghoulies!
Did you know the big boss(Spectre) of the site used to use the same avatar as you!

The Outer Limits is not what it was. Most of the twist endings you can see coming a mile, and last nights story has been done loads of times before. Mind you so had the one on Enterprise.

I used to watch this channel a lot a couple of years ago but haven't watched anything recently apart from Nina as she is now the only thing worth watching

No your not alone.
I preferred the first Zev rather than the new Xev if you know what I mean.

Likewise, after Series 2 the show started going downhill in my opinion.

I liked the Nina before this one, more 'witty' in both senses!


Lexx is a cool program indeed. It took me an age to get use to the new Zev. I liked Lyka.
The ep. with Rutger Hauer is a classic masterpiece of B-movie scare 'em up genious - ooh and those dodgy gay s&m guys and...

Bad new Gordon I have just read that Sci-Fi Channel is to cancel the series. The one on Earth being the last. I just hope they don’t end on a cliff-hanger.

I wonder if Michael Grade is working for them now?
