Syfy ruins ‘Being Human’
Proper Being Human is nuanced and subtle. All of that has been stripped out of Syfy’s Being Human. It’s infuriating. And enraging. And completely unnecessary.
Syfy blasts final episodes of ‘Caprica’
I’m simultaneously sad, excited, and angry at this news. Is it worth spending another five hours with this series when I know it’s going to end? Why should I invest more time and emotional energy into characters who are going to leave me shortly?

what the frak! ‘Caprica’ cancelled!
