**Looks like I posted too soon. I predicted SciFi would rely on z-grade cheapies because AMC is now resorting to b-grade SF movies.

Then I saw the promo for Braveheart. Come to think of it, they showed the new Psycho on SciFi, too, but I dismissed it as plausibly within the horror/SF overlap.

No, this can’t happen. Braveheart can be on AMC (being Best Picture for 1995 gives it automatic “classic” status). Robocop 3 is reserved for SciFi. Not the other way around! **

That to me is the baffling thing - not that Braveheartdoesn’t fit the SciFi Channel because it isn’t SF. Judging from the other offerings that have been “gifted” to the viewers by the SciFi Channel in recent months, Braveheart doesn’t belong on it because it’s too good. These days, isn’t Mars Needs Women! more the SciFi Channel’s speed?

A pity. It actually used to be an enjoyable channel once…

I agree. AMC has also become a disappointment.

Wasn’t there some time traveling involved?

William Wallace had been dead for several years before Isabelle journeyed from France to wed Edward II.

It irritates me when good channels go bad…

Sci-Fi used to be a great channel, back when it actually had shows…First Wave, the Chronicle, Lexx and ,of course, Farscape, all were reasons to tune in week after week. Even the old shows like Alien Nation, Brimstone and such were worth seeing…

Now everytime I turn over there, there is some bad movie on.

Its sad, really…Are they trying to drive away viewers?
