Them killing Dark Matter was the last straw.

'Member BSG?
Grunwald
It's funny cuz in Polish 'Syfy' literally means 'Filth'
TheBlackWindHowls
They canceled FarScape. That should tell you all you need to know about how well "Syfy" (still a stupid-ass name change) handles good shows.
wlfman
Alphas and Defiance are 2 I can think of off the top of my head
thatmangodude
Has anyone kept up with The Expanse? I started the second season but couldn't force myself to finish the first episode :/
VisineDaidebautpemokaElcor
SGU was the tipping point for me, fk that show was good
andino66
SyFy hasn't been worth a damn since they had BSG and Stargate.
ark3192
Yeah. I wish eureka and being human would have gone longer
RaxianTheta
I don't watch ANYTHING on tv anymore because of shit like this. I wait until the whole show is on netflix/hulu.
elena2290
Haha! Sheldon was right about the syfy channel
hedgewizard
They also hold the rights to some great SF and haven't done a damned thing with them.
RichardManeuver
Sometimes that is more satisfying than a crappy ending to a good show. Easier to imagine an ending when you aren't ignoring a bad one
BeeAtPeace
Yes! A lot of the times if a show I like gets cancelled, I come up with my own ending and then get to rerun it in my mind whenever I want.
antillesw1
BSG and Eureka had real endings.
Numus
They kinda rushed Eureka's ending tho :(
VahlokTheJailor
In my case the show wasn't made by them, but they aired the episodes out of order, didn't show the companion episode of a two parter...
VahlokTheJailor
And only showed it at like four in the morning.
gottakeepgoing
Rip Caprica.
Ninthshadow
It was like some crazy loop. They cancelled one I liked, replaced it with another, repeat. Three or four series in a row.
kalinroar
Syfy. Where futuristic scenarios are used as a mere facade to comment on human nature. And now here's Sharknado 9: Bigger, Sharkier
TheShadowsLengthen
The sharks are a commentary on the unsatiable hunger for meaning that devours us all. The tornado, a symbol of our ascention to the divine.
kalinroar
Truly our hubris has come to bite us in the ass. Literally
Manbearjeezypig
But what about the duality of man?
TheShadowsLengthen
The chainsaws and sharks are making explicit the duality of man, through very literal symbolism.
ColoradoGirrl
Have you seen Snow Sharks?
kalinroar
I have not. Is it about climate change? Climate change causing ice to melt freeing previously extinct species of super shark?
AMimeIsATerribleThingToWaste
No, but don't worry, they made one with that plot line too!
IamJustinSane
To be fair, they don't really swim through snow, they are "ghost" sharks, a Native American curse. Which is obviously more credible.
ColoradoGirrl
No they are sharks that literally swim through snow.
kalinroar
I...don't know what would be more ridiculous
ColoradoGirrl
I laughed my ass off the whole movie. I think it's still on Netflix.
ILikeToCallItLostWages
DON'T YOU FUCKING JINX THE EXPANSE
Mithi
Well, the books will still be available.
TheGlow
I saw season 1 and loved it. Read the books. I now hate season 1 and 2. Read the books. Trust me.
ILikeToCallItLostWages
Disagreement here! Saw season 1 and 2, began reading the books, love season 1 and 2 even more!
OOZ662
From the future. Sorry, I guess. Hopefully Amazon gets it back together.
BiteTheHandsThatThieve
Oh god no please don't take the expanse from me. Please.
Troldann
The books will always be there, and they're really good!
BiteTheHandsThatThieve
I really have to check those out.
Troldann
Every book is a self-contained story, no cliffhangers. They're fun, light reads. I didn't like the show until after I read them.
Neldogz
Love the expanse!
Daggaroth
i've been loving the seasons of the expanse, they are fairly true to the books and the visuals are stunning!
TheGlow
Meanwhile I read the books after watching season 1. Watching season 2 was like getting teeth pulled.
ILikeToCallItLostWages
God, I am amazed at how they've condensed and re-organized the books to fit into the show. I'm as excited to see what happens as I am to
ILikeToCallItLostWages
see what they do with what I already know happens.
Daggaroth
Also love that they kept Christian Avasarala's.... colorful language in the script. that was one of the things I loved about her character
Daggaroth
And the actress who plays her is PERFECT for the role. I don't think theres anyone out there who could be better.
graehall
The Expanse is blatantly the best hard sci-fi on TV. Season 2 was even better than season 1, and it also starred @MisterSavage!
Somnipresent
Hard sci-fi? I got sad as soon as I saw the size of the ship interiors. Wasted space!
flowwolf
It is not hard scifi. It is gritty. An aggregate of hard and soft elements.
SaltyInternetPirate
Season one was like 1/3 of a season when it ended. They didn't even build-up enough of the mystery.
ReferenceGameOnPoint
where was he?
Loosemonty
In the research ship studyin
Daggaroth
The Abergast that was sent to Venus, he was the mission specialist according to the credits.
bippityboppitybuttsex
I watched season 1, then power read thru all six books, then saw season 2 and was disappointed by it in comparison.
HassuKettu
I heard syfy will only do 5 seasons of a show because that is how long the initial contracts are for and they don't want to pay actors more

#bringbackdarkmatter
Vermifuge
Sort of mad they picked Kill Joys over Dark Matter ????
TheGreatCO
Seriously, this. I like both, but killjoys is crap compared to dark matter.
Vermifuge
I also watched both but kill joys sort of went off the rails the last two seasons. Dark Mater has been great.
TheGreatCO
I think we can all agree, The Expanse is amazing.
Vermifuge
I wasn't a fan but I can see why people liked it. I just wasn't having fun watching it. It's like you need to take notes.
LastGunslinger
I prefer books to tv personally. I've seen the show in passing but never knew it was a book. Provide a link for me my good sir?
Vermifuge
I imagine its better for people who read the books first or something.
definitelyNotTheIRS
Wait what??? This was the last season of dark matter???
ArchQuantum
Ended on a massive cliffhanger too
YouCanChangeYourUsernameAtAnyMomentInImgurSettings
It did? I've been meaning to start watching the series, but if it got canceled with a cliffhanger, I probably won't.
Xendrash
Its about to be picked up by netflix for season 4.
ArchQuantum
You'll do fine if you watch the first two seasons.
Vermifuge
yup canceled

It's all Sharknado movies now
CheeseBelongsInTheKitten
Just lots of Doctor Who re-runs.
Piornet
LOOK AT THE DRAMA OF PEOPLE APPLYING MAKEUP!!! LOOK AT IT!!!!
DaveLikesImgur
They're about all sci fi and fantasy oriented. I'm guessing the CG costs make for fewer shows. Really disappointed Dark Matter canceled
tyrsfavoritesword
...damn it.
smashpro1
Do zombies count as sci fi?
doctorbees
The Expanse
HalloweenAintTillManana
The Expanse is pretty dope.
flowwolf
Yeah but don't get too invested into it. It'll get cancelled.
cspinasdf
The first few episodes aren't very dope, but the dopeness increases with time. First season is on Amazon prime.
Elonth
so is dark matter
flowwolf
Too late. They JUST cancelled it

AND ALPHAS. THERE WAS ALPHAS CROSSOVER. AHHH

IDK if I ever watched Alphas so probably missed that crossover.

An alphas crossover for eureka or w13

best sci fi on TV right now

MotherFukaJonez
I agree. One of the best sci fi shows in a long time. So, I'm guessing it won't get renewed.

It's unlikely it won't get picked up elsewhere

Hey the ending of Battlestar Galactica was only HALF horseshit (alright, alright, maybe 75%). Roslin and Adama's arc was ended perfectly.

Alphas was great.
FlatPlutoSociety
I didn't care about the story in The Magicians much, but I watched the whole first season, and you definitely know why.
Areanywittynamesnottaken
Oh you bring up a couple good points
ILikeToCallItLostWages
Wait whoa, somebody made Childhood's end into a show?
KuzcoR
Yeah, it was actually decent too. They made quite a few changes but overall it was good.

This post was going to be longer & include a list of shows that have gotten cancelled by Syfy. Unfortunately it was cancelled by Syfy.
SaltyInternetPirate
Can't fit them in a comment otherwise http://tvweb.com/syfy/canceled-shows/
INDIG0M0NKEY
I was so pissed when I found out Merlin was over. Really liked that show
boffinbonce
TIL that Weird or What? With Bill Shatner lasted 4 seasons.
ColoradoGirrl
Can't say I'm upset about Primeval new world. The original was really good but I didn't like new world at all.
Fitzy1414
Ayyy up doot number 69 ;)
ohDannyBoi
Unpopular opinion: Syfy shows are canceled cause they are bad and not enough people watch them.
DWandRFaremyspiritbeings
Some. Others that have good ratings get canceled because the CGI costs too much.

I WANT SEASON 2 OF SG: UNIVERSE DAMMIT!
dancingbarefootonlego
I've been waiting for someone to say this! Stargate fan here.
iCountFish
SGU got a second season, not a 3rd
thefa11guy
Really? I didn't think anyone wanted that! I'm not being a dick. I'm seriously curious how many fans SG:U had.
longhorna95
Did they make it?! I'll never know...
ChrisWsrn
SGU Got Good in the second season.
periwinklepanda
I didn't care for it, too depressing, but my husband loved it.
MechaKingGhidra
Yeah, I'm kind of in the same set of mind on that count. SG1 and the latter half of Atlantis were really kind to me so I am biased.
paul289
The tone was definitely a departure from the regular SG, and it felt to me more like Battlestar Galactica.
Draevan13
IMO it was better than NO Stargate, but I'd have taken more SG-1 or SGA, or another Stargate series. Robert Carlyle was the only good part.
Draevan13
OK to be fair the space battles and Lucien Alliance invasion arc were great too, but they were the exception not the rule.
SnarkyScience
I liked it. Mostly I like Robert Carlyle. And it took a while to get over how un-Stargatey it was. Would have prefed S6 of Atlantis tho.
thefa11guy
I tried to give it a fair chance but I just couldn't get in to it.

EarlGreyOrDeath
It was getting to the point that it needed to be ended
ColoradoGirrl
There is no end to Eureka it was just classified
TehFatBatman
Goodness, i love that show. Im just glad they had the ability to end it with some partial closure, even if it was rushed.
iCountFish
I like that they left a window open to come back to it later.
TehFatBatman
Although...they drove out in the jeep...i wish they left in his old marshall vehicle, like in the first episode. But you cant have it all!
