Well, Godfather is a "Movies That Rock"...
Sci-Fi sucks. After Farscape ends, i'm deleting that channel. [Not that i've been back since the season "finale" a couple months ago.]

This is a joke right? I haven't checked the schedule yet so I can only assume you are attempting to be humorous. A network devoted to SciFi and named SciFi would never air a historical drama about the fuedal wars of Scotland.

I'm laughing, but I wouldn't be surprised if there was a meeting at scifi headquarters and Bonnie Hammer decided that blue faces DO equal scifi.

better than those direct to video craptastic horror flicks
but still not sci-fi
there's plenty of semi popular, bound to be cheap, sci-fi movies they could get
"Enemy Mine" and "Last Starfighter" come to mind

Maybe they will add a pre-credits sequence where you find out that Mel Gibsons character is really:
a) an alien
b) a time traveller from the future
c) a time travelling alien from the future
d) a immortal just like the guys from "Highlander"
e) Gazoo from the Flinstones stops by to share some haggis.

When I saw in USAToday that SciFi was going to air Braveheart, I thought it was a typo. I guess not.
I'm assuming that SciFi can show Braveheart because USA has played it (and still owns the rights to play it).

• Quoth Aaron Amos •<HR SIZE=1>When did Braveheart become a sci-fi movie? <HR SIZE=1>
Don't let the "Sci-Fi" in "Sci-Fi Channel" confuse you. They have no interest in the genre.

See? And you guys were wondering why Braveheart was on Sci-Fi! They're showing the rarely seen "magic and superstition" version. Duh.

A world where magic and superstiton were real!
This probably explains why "Crossing Over" was on Sci-Fi. Lol.

Oh ... my ... God. "Magic and supersition" Just when you think those pig****ers can't sink any lower ...
Btw, they've replaced their airing of Mallrats with the premiere of Bring it On.
