Your final statement I agree with completely. It is our desire to be overwhelmed by the weird, bizarre, ridiculous which drives us, in part, to watch/read SCiFi in the first place (going back to your escapism piece perhaps...:). The unconcious realm of the human mind and what resides there is intriguing, mysterious and wholly ripe for exploitation by writers. It works so well in science fiction becuse interior perception can be portrayed as anything - a sort of personal matrix if you will. #startrek

It's really a great episode after the somewhat disappointing showdown with the big bad.

Oh well, at least Eureka is back.
Is it time to talk about this week's ep of True Blood yet? No? Oh well... bedtime for bonzo.

Yeah, we do. Too bad you're stuck at the imagining step and can't deliver the goods being imagined...
Sarah, happy to see you back.

Maybe there is hope though. We are bound to run out of things to remake eventually. Well, maybe not in our life times but certainly our grandchildren will have original programming.

I'm curious as to what kind of reaction and ratings they might receive if they made a place in their schedule for some imported programming. There have got to be some (at least marginally) good SF, Fantasy, and Horror/Mystery shows, both old and currently in production, available from not just the U.K. but from Japan, France, China, India, even Canada (no, the Syfy franchises they already shoot there don't count). Run some imported shows, even with subtitles. If a show garners fair ratings they might even consider remaking it for the North American market.
Actually, now that I think about it, and as Syfy seems interested in recycling or rebooting older properties, they might want to look back at some of the 70's movies-of-the-week/failed pilots like 'Questor Tapes', 'Spectre', 'Norliss Tapes', 'Earth II', etc., and either re-run or remake them with an eye towards taking them to series.
