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)

Which current sci-fi shows do you watch? Warehouse 13, Defiance, Haven on and off, does Doctor Who count?
Why are there no shows with spaceships? because life hates us
Does the 13 episode (or less) format suit scifi shows? it seems to work but the waiting period for new episodes is so long
Favourite cancelled scifi shows SGA, BSG, FIREFLY
Why do you think big networks seem to be doing more scifi than syfy? Because Syfy is part of the NBC Universal umbrella and NBC hasn't know WTF it's been doing since 2009
Any sci-fi tropes or formats you don't like?

ahaha NBC is at fault for everything

I'm assuming by default all their new shows are going to fail - less upsetting that way.
