any chance of this coming back :(
I really missed the boat on this show, but after seeing the first 4 eps on sci fi, its freaking awesome.

The show was originally made and aired on Showtime.
Had it been aired on Sci-Fi Network or some other Network it would have had the potential to be seen by a lot more people.
From the 4 episodes I have seen, this is what I call a ‘Smart show’, in that it makes you think outside of the box.
‘Smart Shows’ are not very popular with the general population.
The average Jane and Joe American works 8 to 12 hours at one or two jobs. Puts the kids to bed and veg out on the couch watching some TV till they have to go to bed and start the whole thing again tomorrow. There just to tired and burn out from there long day to have to think while there watching TV for the last few waking hours of there day. That is why reality shows and mind less TV shows are so popular now days during prime time.
I’m sure all of us can come up with a list of ‘Smart Shows’ that were canceled by the Networks. Not because they were not good shows. But more to the fact that Americans are over worked and to tired by prime time to have to think and fallow a show.
Do not miss understand my remarks. I am in now way saying Americans are uneducated or dumb. Just that by 9pm they are worn out from work, taking care of the house and the family to have to think outside of the box for a TV show.

Yeah but around the 2002-2004 timeline. Even today's "so called" smart shows aren't really. They are just trying to be. Especially these huge blockbuster looking shows on the majors. They just didn't get that a low budget show could be great. JMS has proven too many times you can to a smart low budget series.
