Airlock Alpha's headline said it correctly ... promotion was well-deserved
Mark Stern finds himself in a very unique position. I can't think of any other network or cable channel where fans pretty much know the head of original programming. Think about it. Who does original programming for CBS? For FX? How about TNT? Programming chief is one of those positions that's ...
Read MoreBut Syfy also has a lot of work to do to win back the fanbase, too
I'm not really worried about "Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome." David Weddle, Bradley Thompson, Michael Taylor and David Eick are four people I respect tremendously, especially when it comes to good Battlestar Galactica. Sure, of that group, only Eick was involved with "Caprica" (and how muc ...
Read MoreWhile 'Caprica; may be gone, this certainly is not the end of the 'Battlestar Galactica' prequel saga
While hardcore Battlestar Galactica fans are still mourning the loss of Caprica -- oh show, we barely knew you -- new developments are being made on another series spinoff prequel. If it had stayed an online series as originally planned, Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome wont have to worry abo ...
Read MoreCould there be a Season 2? Miracles could happen in time for Thanksgiving
Ratings will tell a lot about whether a show will live or die, but in this case, the angels that graced "Battlestar Galactica" throughout its run might be needed to give its Syfy spinoff "Caprica" a little bit of a boost. It seems that the network has set a deadline for Nov. 15 to decide whether ...
Read MoreHow 'Lost,' 'Battlestar Galactica,' 'Caprica' lost sight of their sci-fi roots
As an avid science-fiction fan, shows like Battlestar Galactica, Caprica and Lost rank amongst my favorite shows. But somehow these shows -- in an effort to be edgy and contemporary -- got lost along the way trying to find ways to counter-balance their extreme science-fiction mythology. Religion ...

Read MoreSyfy will replace the previous week encore of 'Stargate: Universe' for 'Star Trek: The Next Generation'
Even 16 years after it's gone on the air, the crew of the USS Enterprise-D is being called in to provide some help to Syfy's Tuesday lineup. "Star Trek: The Next Generation" will begin airing some of its most popular episodes beginning at 7 p.m. ET this Tuesday as a way to help feed into Syfy's p ...
Read MorePopular cable channel brings its digital press tour ... to Florida
After all the cross-country trips I have had to make over the years to places like Vancouver, San Diego and Seattle, you know what? It's about darn time that Syfy brings itself to me. I was just thinking that about a month ago when Syfy contacted me and told me they had read my mind, and were goi ...
Read MoreRonald D. Moore doesn't rule the kind of 'one year later' scenarios we saw in 'Battlestar Galactica'
Newly sworn-in president Gaius Baltar dropped his head to the desk after learning about a nuclear explosion in orbit of New Caprica that not only killed a number of Colonial citizens, but his Cylon girlfriend as well. As he faced his first crisis, the camera pushed in on Baltar, a bit of Bear McC ...
