WTF Scifi???

Its around this time of year that I usually start to get excited for the gloriousness that is April. In April for the past few years the Scifi channel has done something called "Mini-series Month". Which is awesome because I get to watch all these great miniseries like "Dune, Children of Dune, and FarScape Peacekeeper Wars". Its pretty much my annual viewing of these greats. But this year I have to give a big WHAT THE FUCK to the Scifi Channel. In past years they have either shown them back to back (to back for Dune and COD), or show part 1 one night then part 2 the next. Now you're probably reading that sentence saying "what other options are there?", well hold your horses there cowboy I'm getting to my point. When they've shown them part 1 one night and part 2 the next its aired at 7 or 9 pm. Last year it was the back to back style starting at 10 pm. Which for FarScape: PW was all cool since it was over by 2 am. For Dune and COD it kind of sucked since it ended at 4 am, but whatever I'm willing to stick it out for one night.

But this year, I took a looksy ahead at the schedule and guess when Peacekeeper wars is showing, Sunday April 1st at midnight (which is technically April 2nd at 12:00 am) and then showing the 2nd part at 2 am. So its a little later than I'd like to be up, but ok, whatever. Then they really gave Dune and COD the shaft. Tuesday April 17 at 2 am (once again technically Wednesday April 18th 2am) they show part 1. And part 2 will air the following night at the same horrible time. And the same with Part 3. Then a week later Tuesday April 24 at 2 am (once again technically Wednesday April 25th 2am) they start Children of Dune. And go with the same night after night style.

Now the fact that they have put these in 3rd shift unwatchable hours isn't the part that pisses me off.....well it does, but not as much as the fact that they put these quality miniseries at 2 am while they put absolute shit like "King Cobra, Dragon Dynasty, and Pterodactyl" on Saturday's at reasonable hours. At this point I think I'm just going to watch those on dvd.....in 5.1 sound and 480p when I want to, instead of watching it on scifi at those unreasonable hours.

So what are the ones to watch then? Well there are really only two. On Sunday the 22nd at 8am "Legend of Earthsea" parts 1 and 2 are on. And finally "The Lost Room" parts 1, 2 and 3 which is on Wednesday the 25th starting at 6 pm.

Here is the entire schedule.
