I have only one question . . .

[unixronin]

WTF are these people THINKING?

Oh.

Right.

"Network executive."

That's sort of like "Pirate."  Only much, much more stupid.

Uh ... does that even mean anything?  It's worse than "Think Different".

“We spent a lot of time in the ’90s trying to distance the network from science fiction, which is largely why it’s called Sci Fi,” Mr. Brooks said.

Trying to "distance the network from science fiction"?  You DROOLING FUCKTARD.  That's like trying to distance ESPN from sports.  The channel was FOUNDED to be an all-science-fiction channel.

Over a decade back, a science fiction channel was a temptation to actually have a television. Then I found out what programs were actually carried on the channel, and gave up. What he is saying is that he can't control the message with real science fiction, because writers that understand it are not willing to totally give in to network pressure and values.

Goose... Golden Egg... You know the rest.
