Compensation to actors and crew for residuals on a digital show are next to nothing in comparison to broadcast on TV. Makes a huge difference.
They have some programming in the wings, three new shows this year...I know SyFy is going to come out with "Defiance" which is a fair budget...
It's easy to bash SyFy, but I have to tell you, I'm glad this is dead. This is a series that didn't need to change up, and needed a break.. I guess I felt that way with Stargate:Universe which felt horrific to me as someone who loved SG:1 and kind of tolerated Atlantis.. but I'd prefer they...
