scifi post

[timetobegin]

It seems that there is a higher rate of sci-fi shows airing over the Summer (winter for southern hemisphere folk), and more often than not they are only 13 episodes long.

At the moment we have Defiance, Oprhan Black, Warehouse 13, Continuum.... with more starting up soon. (Haven!) Scifi also tends to go hand in hand with the shorter fantasy seasons too (Game of thrones! Teen Wolf!)

(please not their MIGHT be spoilers for the latest episodes in the comment)

:D yay fantasy shows.

ahaha I think syfy shouldn't be so..cowardly. Its sad that they can't seem to get more than 1 or 2 shows off at a time. plus while w13 and haven are scifi- they aren't really expensive scifi. :(

I thought about including wonderfalls but i wasn't sureee. SO GOOD.

I think scifi as a genre in particular should be more careful about including more diversity. I mean all genres should, but scifi in particular.

Scifi is, imo, meant to be the kind of fiction that is on the bleeding edge of diversity in all areas. Diversity in thought, in plot, in characters and so forth. Plus it's where I live and I want nice things. :)

I adore Wonderfalls and all the ridic characters in it. :)
