Oh you fucking bastards...

I knew there would be a gap between this week's BSG season two extended finale and season three, but this is a real pisser:

Production on the third season will commence in April in Vancouver, Canada. But the word is that it will not begin airing until October, four months behind the usual schedule. There are mutterings that one reason could be that parent network NBC is considering lifting the critically acclaimed show from the smaller niche channel to NBC proper, as there's a dearth of promising new shows in the pipeline, according to SyFy Portal. NBC has already tried to rebroadcast specific episodes, including an abbreviated version of the pilot, of the show to expectedly low-ratings results. Of course, those were expected because the episodes already aired. But given the mainstream critical acclaim of the series, as well as its tremendous popularity in iTunes downloads (as well as continued illegal downloads), there is some chatter that NBC Universal -- which owns both SciFi Channel and NBC -- could be considering moving the series to NBC.

The fuck? If a show isn't popular enough some bunch of cunts cancel it. If it gets too popular they fuck with it.

The sooner this stuff gets released STRAIGHT to DVD the better. Every time I catch a few seconds of advertising on an American sourced torrent I shudder in horror at the thought of all those poor bastards that have to sit through some quality TV with advertising breaking it up every other fucking minute.

I caught the 'teaser' at the end of this week's House and the bastards are only putting it back three weeks... and then have the audacity to fill the ad with spoliers. Fuck's sake.

Now we have to wait a fucking lifetime for BSG to come back and hope that the attention deficit mainstream American viewers remember what the fuck it is, because if the ratings drop because of fuckwit interference... the same interfering fuckwits will cancel it.

Maybe John can adopt me, take me into work on Father & Son day and then I'll be in crushing distance of these morons...
