... See, we are not the money payoff demographic. 14 and female is where the money is. ... They have not figured out a formula for sci-fi that engages that market and probably never will. As I have mentioned sexy-sci-fi just does not work. Sex and vampires does work however.  :(

It would be a cross between Hanna Montana and what we real nerds consider as sci fi now - or American Idol crossed with Stargate  ... either way I do not want to live in a society where the possibility exists that one day discussions might be held to figure out who the better captain was, Willy Shatner or Justin Bieber.

Sci Fi can be put on hold for the current 14 and female demographic - maybe the next one will have better sense of things, allowing us old fart and male types the chance to see good sci fi again.

I can go on forever on these subjects, which is why I haven't. I don't think you all want me to go off on a long winded rant. Bad things happen ;)

LMAO.  :laugh:  Excellent point. Absurdly humourous, but point taken.
