This is my commentary on the name change
Mar. 17th, 2009 05:55 pmFrom EW:
One can't forge a destiny without being beholden to all the baggage that comes with the name. I get all that. But if you're gonna change the name, then CHANGE THE GODSDAMNED NAME. Don't half-ass it. Be bold, and mighty forces will come to your aid. (I'd have liked The Mansquito Network, but I'm in the vast minority.)
...I would have voted for "The Mansquito Network." I've said it once, I'll say it again: there will never be another Sci-Fi, SyFy, or Whatever-Sells-to-the-Norms Channel Original Movie with a better name than Mansquito.
Just say it aloud: Mansquito. It is officially the name to end all names. It certainly sounds better than a network moniker that closely resembles a venereal disease...
Also: NO. If you're not responsible enough not to change your name to the STD Channel for non-nerds, you don't get to retell Alice in Wonderland with the people who did Tin Man.
(One more BSG tidbit: The Cylon-centric stand-alone movie The Plan was directed by Edward James Olmos. I love you, Daddy Adama, but stay on the other side of the camera from now on, okay? The movie will also apparently change the way we see the series so much we'll all have to watch it over again. Somebody check me on this, but did they say the same shit about Razor? 'Cause, ewww no.)
