Re: The Crossing
 

good new for a brand new series. Every month SFX does features on at least 2 series which about to come out or are already out and we aware of and it will say which US network it is on and time etc and UK is always guaranteed every time TBC because nobody has even bothered looking at it and planning it in. I think they need to create a new position for me at Sky where I can plan this stuff for them. I'll get them so many quality series that they'll have to give me a new channel as well.

If it means the return of Dark Matter I'll back your appointment!

Re: The Crossing
 

That is a cracking idea. Sky are way behind Netflux and Amazon imho for original content. How awesome would it have been if they partnered with Syfy or just brought the rights to Dark Matter so they owned a proper scifi series. BSG worked out brilliantly for them and it is a shame they havent done more stuff like it since.
If things worked out with Josephy Mallozi and the other SG dude Sky could have had an amazing creative collaboration for years to come with other series as well.

Re: The Crossing
 

FYI Syfy don't own the rights to Dark Matter.

According to Joe Mallozzi MGM's recent Stargate origins was testing the water for a fully fledged SciFi online streaming channel, something I'd gladly contribute to if it comes about.

As regards Dark Matter all hope is not yet lost, thanks to Netflix it's still in their most popular series in several countries and picking up more fans as a result so who knows?

Syfy are getting a reputation for cancelling good SciFi series.

Re: The Crossing
 

Given how popular scifi is becoming Netflix could be very clever. They have got Lost in Space and Star Trek Discovery, Dark Matter would be another great addition.

Re: The Crossing
 

I agree fully, we can only hope.

Re: The Crossing
 

They've also ordered another space drama called Another Life with Katee Sackhoff from BSG as the lead.

Re: The Crossing
 

GREAT

Sounds like our prayers could be answered.

Now how to get them to pick up Dark Matter for seasons 4&5???

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 

I think its unlikely they would pick up DM this late in the day, the cast have likely moved on now, and the sets all destroyed.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 

Yes the sets have been destroyed but that's not insurmountable. None of the cast have as yet signed up for a long term project and all have expressed being willing and wanting to finish the story.

The first 3 seasons still appear in the most popular series list on netflix which could prompt them to consider it.

Until the recent netflix news Joe Mallozzi has expressed (and still does) hope MGM will allow at least a miniseries to wind things up if it's new online platform comes to fruition.

This is one of those times where i wish i could win tge euro millions and make it happen.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 

They're adding an extra 11th episode to this season of Legion, hopefully it's just an added bonus and not a sign that it's getting cancelled. Apparently it has really low viewership on FX.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 

In the past I have been infuriated by networks impulsive decisions based on one or two episodes ratings because they just don't give things chance. If you put 2 and 2 together I think the same thing is happening here because it is too much of a coincidence. The ratings for the first two episodes of season 2 are diabolical so it wouldn't surprise me if they have decided to cancel the series based on those two episodes and order the extra episode to allow the writers to wrap up story last minute:

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 

Joe Mallozzi's had a good idea.
