Alright. Here's the thing about #SYFY:
They take shows and immerse the characters in their own formula. 1-part Queer, 1-part conviction and a dash of heroism in the characters and shows they choose to curate on their channel.

We've all seen it with Firefly, everyone thought the damn thing was going to last. Even back then, SYFY was trying to innovate. I think SYFY is cursed to being too independent a channel to actually buy the rights to distribute Original content.
They're cursed with something so grossly labelled that I actually feel bad for saying it, but it has to be said. SYFY pump and dumps their shows when ratings fall. As a result, they turn their viewers against them by cancelling a show...
...or selling the rights/broadcasting license to a different channel/media channel altogether. Because of SYFY, Wynonna Earp was cursed from the beginning. We should've seen it coming, but everyone trusted SYFY a little too much.
Too many times (and it might come out later as a story) does a channel/broadcasting company like SYFY order the writers/showrunners to kill someone off and make it the Gay person to kill off. Instead, they killed off someone everyone KNEW would be too hard to handle.
We see you Emily, there may have been impossible hoops you had to have jumped through to keep the show alive, but my god did it ever hurt to lose Dolls! Anyway - it's not like we asked for the show to get cancelled, but asking fans to BEG for a show is beyond fucked.
I can't think of a channel more sinister enough like SYFY to make fans choose or beg. To have OTHER companies save our show, or have the actors PUSH for the show to finish rather than LETTING it fucking finish is appalling, SYFY.
No other company has made me reach this gross, sick feeling I have in my stomach more than SYFY has. What fucking channel GEO-BLOCKS exclusive online content from other fans?! AMC does this, I know. But at least they urge their fans to use a VPN.
I bet Andrew Lincoln can lift a finger and BAM- The Walking Dead gets another fucking season thanks to his return. But that's a dream. Your damn show lead, Wynonna-fucking-Earp herself has had to help fans campaign for the show by actually reposting whatever the fans post.
Dom and Kat meanwhile have slaved their (cute, and hard-working) asses off to keep the fans immersed and voting left and right for their Ship while Emily herself has been left with whatever you tried to push season-to-season.
Frankly, I won't be surprised if IDW decides to revive the show down the line WITHOUT SyFy on #PrimeVideo or #Netflix. EXCLUSIVITY keeps the peace thanks to streaming platforms like them, so S/O to them, the Big OG's. Keeping me awake at nights and shit, (gang signs).
No, but seriously. I won't be surprised if IDW absorbs Emily Andras super-ability to write fantastic shows for bigger bucks. SYFY is fucking up big time here. And I can't wait for shit to blow-up in their faces.
My whole point of this is:
TV show writers, producers, casting directors, make-up artists, co-execs, VPs, IPs, presi's and Vice's - stay the fuck away from SYFY if you want to make it in this Television Industry. Go somewhere where they just say YES.
