Okay, I'll elaborate.

Star Wars is Science Fantasy. But Sci Fi has traditionally had a lot of overlap (fan-wise) with pure Fantasy (e.g., Lord of the Rings) as well as Horror. So I'm perfectly willing to let the Sci-Fi channel air Star Wars, sword & sorcery, and even the occasional horror flick.

Yes, pro-wrestling is 100% fabrication, but so are Hello Kitty cartoons and we don't see those on Sci-Fi.

Alex, I was not aware of the contractual obligations issue. That certainly sheds some light on the situation, ugly as it may be.

Actually, Syfy should be pronounced "Siffy" or "Syph-y" which sounds a bit syphalitic if you ask me.

I've been disappointed with SciFi from day one, and am similarly disappointed with the Science channel.

There actually are a lot of people in the Sci-Fi fan community who pronounce it "skiffy", especially in reference to a person who is a fan. As in, "I met Pat's new boyfriend at the Creation con last month. Fortunately for Pat, this one is a skiffy."

One of these things is not like the other. One of the things just doesn't belong.

GD, that was kinda funny. But to geek out a little, the Starship Size Comparison Chart is pretty cool and the first time I've seen such a clear comparison of so many different universes' ships at a glance.
