Personally I’ve not gotten into any of those shows. I watch Falling Skies online because I’ve become a Seychelle Gabriel whore. I still miss John Doe from Fox, and I’m sadly at a loss for any other shows to list as examples.

SciFi had a fair start but has squandered the brand and continually alienates it’s fans.

Hmmm… while not scifi, “The Big Bang Theory” on CBS is actually my favorite show on TV. Chuck Lorre seems to be familiar with Pychological Typing such as the MBTI. He seems to specifically create characters that are very clear fits to various types. In Dharma & Greg, Greg was an ISTJ and Dharma was an ENFP. Now in Big Bang Theory as near as I can tell, Sheldon is an INTJ and Leonard is an INTP.

I’ve never seen a sitcom that was so centric to the personal quirkiness of NT’s before… and apparently the show is a raging success including with people I know personally and have been surprised in learning they too liked the show. It’s hilarious to me that it’s such a hit because it essentially is about and caters directly to NT’s who are statistically the smallest temperament population and easily the most socially inept, outcast, and ridiculed.

Talk about winning one for the underdogs.

You should post what pics you have so the resident photo manipulation artists can see what they would have to work with (myself included).

I might be willing to do it but I will personally need to see what I would be working with and what you had in mind. I have my own list of do’s and don’ts and will’s and won’ts as will other artists here. Photo manipulation can be a ton of work and very time consuming so there has to be something in it to the artist.

I personally am intrigued and will settle for you un-learning the misuse of the term “morph” which is a particular pet-peeve of mine that I am constantly pointing out.

A “morph” is a term used to refer to a computer generated animation that gradually transitions one image into another image before your eyes. Michael Jackson’s Black Or White video is a perfect example of that. I have linked to the end of the video starting at time index 5:27 where different faces morph from one to the next. Morphing involves computer programs that apply mathematical algorithms and use fixed markers like eyes, nose, mouth, etc as guides to identify similarities and to transition pixels and regions from one image into another in a process of steps that occur frame by frame.

Morphing is very different from “photo manipulation” which is what you are referring to. A “manip” (for short) has various types. A straight manip is warping and resizing regions of a subject and applying different tools and techniques available to the artist by their chosen software to create an “Enhancement”, or “Reduction”, or a “Reshaping”. There is “Frankensteining” which is cutting out desired body parts from two or more subjects and recombining them into a re-imagined new subject. And there is “Airbrushing” which is re-painting areas of a subject to add, remove, and reshape.

I would love wrestling if its Japanese women’s wrestling or some real fit women, but that will never happen on SyFy. WWE is pretty fake.

I was not saying that the hot fit and muscular women justified airing wrestling on SyFy. That is a content mismatch for the network. NBC Universal could have signed to air wrestling on one of their other networks like USA Network. When viewers tune in to targeted networks, they should be presented with appropriate programming. Wrestling is no more appropriate for SyFy than for Food Network. Point being, SyFy has their heads up their asses when it comes to programming decisions.

And yes I like Erica Cerra, wish she would start working out to better fit her role as tough sheriff.

Unfortunately since the final episodes are probably already in the can, it’s a moot point. I understand that you are talking about upping her fitness level to noticeable muscle, but she clearly already works out and is fit. Her face shows that. She is very lean, but not emaciated. It is a healthy leanness. It is part of what I find so appealing about her face.

Actually my first thoughts concern the artwork. Who is the artist? Were the images commissioned specifically for your sites?

I would love to see a gallery with full size versions of each drawing. It seems to me that there is an opportunity for the same sort of cross promotion between the artist and your sites as you are doing within your own sites and certain select popular destinations.

i know she is only a celebrity and not a bodybuilder or fitness woman, but man, check out these pictures from sept. 26. her legs are muscular and her arms have muscle tone as well. i think her legs are incredible.

…Oh my god! Dude! WHY are you apologizing? She is one smoking hot gym body and a mere 8 week prep from winning her first figure show. And those arms don’t just have muscle tone, they have muscle. The shape of her arm suggests she could rock a pretty impressive flex.

My one complaint: She’s in too much clothing!! :woohoo:

Awesome! Now we can FINALLY get….

“Destination Nowhere: Searching for Ghosts and Legendary Items Amid Haunted and Cursed Hollywood Treasures!”

Lol. That’s awesome and disturbingly similar to the very kind of comment I might have made myself. I’m constantly griping about Ghost Hunters in particular because it’s been around longest and had two spinoffs. Why is this show so popular? It’s been airing for years and they’ve never had an episode with any worthwhile footage. What I’d love to see is for them to finally find something only for it to really go as horribly wrong for everyone including producers (and the Siffee senior programming staff who happen to be on set visiting that fateful day) ending with everyone dead of gruesome and mysterious causes much like one of the low budget SyFy creature movies.

I must admit, while I hate reality shows, I’ve found Hollywood Treasures interesting and educational. Not near the level of redeeming value I’d like to see from it, but it’s even relevant to Science Fiction since so much of the featured memorabilia is SciFi. That, and I find Tracey McCall disturbingly hot.

These days FearNet channel is more sci-fi than SyFy.

Had the classic 80s movie “Heavy Metal” on the other day, haven’t seen that one in yrs. B)

I have that on VHS… somewhere… it’s probably in a box… in my storage unit… and none of my VCR’s work anymore… FEH!!

This proves devolution. People are getting dumber.

I’ve been observing that with dread for decades. I can still remember the horror I felt at the reinforcement of precedent with the release of “Dumb and Dumber”.

What a bummer. Salli Richardson has been in great shape. I would love to see more of that.

Ditto. Though less business suit and more swim suit! lol I would also like to see more Erica Cerra. Her face never fails to awe me with how beautiful she is.

SyFy should be my favorite channel, but lately they have been doing nothing but wrestling and low budget horror movies.

As far as I’m concerned it’s been mostly downhill since they canned Farscape. Stargate being an obvious exception.

The wrestling in particular irked me. Talk about alienating your core audiences in both directions. SciFi people don’t want the wrestling, and the wrestling fans were probably sickened by having to tune in to SciFi/SyFy. Of course the silver lining was the ladies contest which introduced Brittney Beede and Celeste Bonin.

While the low budget movies stink, I actually have found a use for them. They make perfect background noise while I am cleaning, doing laundry, or cooking.

Glad you are up and going again. Sorry that I misunderstood what you meant. The 3 programs I suggested are still worth installing.
