I used to watch Sci-Fi when they aired MST and Lexx, so that's been many moons ago. As for the name change... now that they've insulted the geeks and dysfunctional, antisocial boys in their basements with video games, who will be their core audience. Are non geeky, sci-fi hating, surface dwellers suddenly going to tune in? "Hey it's called SyFy now, I think I'll watch!"

I've always heard good things about Lexx, but I've never seen it. Good?

good and weird for the first 2 seasons, (well actually the first season was made up of the movies) - then it went off the rails for me (some folks like the 3rd season, I didn't).
It's very odd show and they didn't call it the anti-Trek for nothing. This was not a ship of heroes.
I had to order the first season movies from Canada, they didn't offer them here in the States, and there were different cuts (and some nudity) in the Canadian versions.

Why call it anything near Sci-Fi when they mostly show horror movies anyway? Call it The Horror Channel, it's much more accurate. Heh, let's be really accurate and call it The Horrible Channel. I tell ya, those movies are riffable. Very riffable.

It would be sweet if Rifftrax did some of those horrible "SyFy" original movies.

SciFi -SyFy - Psyphi is showing old episodes of "Land of the Lost" today to tie in with the movie. Oh, the memories.

Man am I late to the dance but I just found out about the name change while looking up info the Twilight Zone marathon. It's ridiculous.
What I also think is ridiculous is how they barely air the Zone anymore. Granted they do still have the Marathons but other than that it's on at odd hours only some days of the week. I have all 5 seasons of the original Twilight Zone on DVD but like MST3K reruns it's the principle of the thing. I like for my favorite shows to be on TV so others can enjoy them.

Is it just me or does SyFy look like a shorthand way of saying syphilis?

The channel is pretty much dead to me, what with MST3K long gone and now Battlestar Galactica over. Those made-for-television movies are just dreadful.
