SyFy (once again) jumps the shark, and some better news July 26, 2013 10:09 pm FrankC

“Jumping the shark” is a thing to be done once, but SyFy has shown it can be done over and over as long as each jump is dumber than the previous.

They pull off a double this time, first by declaring this Saturday as a shark movie festival and topping it off with one of their patented turkeys that you don’t even need to watch to know it is horrible. The name of this film, “Sharknado”. The trailers show that humanity is threatened by a city sized tornado saturated with thousands of hungry sharks.

On a brighter note proving the blind hog theory the series “Continuum” is turning out to be pretty good, particularly if you like the paradoxical quirks of time travel, done with “believable” scripts. The series also shows again that Canada does low budget science fiction much better than we do. It is not Fringe, but it is entertaining.
