That’s true Maab, well put. :)

But, well, you know, the Spaceys are fun but then there is sci-fi out there that really is top stuff. The ‘awards show’ as game show thing makes me wonder if real talent is being rewarded.

Don’t wanna be a Canadian idiot. ;p

I never watch SPACE unless Battlestar Galactica is on. :D

Yeah, what is it with Sci-Fi…they have WCW wresting and a ton of cheapo horror movies on all the time. Here and there you have Eureka or The Dresden Files, but those are the exceptions.

From what I’ve heard, I’d trade the SPACE channel’s lineup for the “Sci-Fi” channel’s incessant bug movies anyday.

Plum,

Lighten up! The Spaceys are fun. TOS has been playing on SPACE weekday afternoons for as long as the channel has been on the air; I believe it’s playing as I type this comment. Their programming isn’t great, but it’s not that bad either. They play almost every new sci-fi show produced in the North America (BSG, Dead Zone, 4400, etc) and have a TOS-era movie marathon once a year (at least!). Re: your internet comment, are you advocating piracy?

Canada’s Spacey Awards? Well, it’s the SPACE Channel’s little awards show. Let’s get some perspective here.

The SPACE channel isn’t exactly watchable, unless endless reruns of VOY and ENT are your thing (as far as I know, SPACE doesn’t even run TOS right now and hasn’t for two years). These awards prove that. And if you’re still getting your sci-fi from crappy little cable channels I suggest one invest in this new technology called “The Internet”. ;p

It might seem like a fun promotion of sci-fi shows, but when an award isn’t about doing superior work or moving drama and instead gives awards for superficial reasons, you’re left with the MTV Movie awards. A celebration of being shallow trash.

I love the SPACE channel. The awards show was so funny, and Takie was such a clas act. I really hope SPACE starts airing Star Trek Remastered soon!

I’m surprised Lost in Space or Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea did not make the cut j/k lol
