SciFi channel: do they even watch their own shows?

[wraithfodder]

Well, taped the SGA marathon today, hoping for some real gems of ads. Found just three --- one about team loyalty,w hich featured snippets/quotes from "Phantoms" (I think we've all see the "You shot me!" ads), another one (featuring clips from  "Tao of Rodney," had McKay talking about superpowers, the third one, which had McKay and Ronon walking along, was about, er, trying to find it again, but what stood out is that SciFi channel spelled Ronon's name wrong. It's not Ronin, it's Ronon. Hello? How much they pay someone to make that ad? I'd demand a refund, or fire the copywriter. Sheesh. Next thing you know they'll be spelling O'Neill wilth one "L" on SG1 ads.

Just thought I'd snark about it. Maybe SciFi will read this. Bwahahahah! I suppose we should be happy they didn't put the wrong name to the wrong character.

I just saw the "you shot me!" ad today... WTF?! It was random, and not in a good way. And it wasn't even from the second half of the season. If they're trying to advertise the back half of S3, at least use clips from the back half of S3!!

I guess I should be happy they're not using "John Sheppard is a babe magnet" ads again...

The Ronon and McKay one was the sidekick names.

Rodney~Batman and Ronon
Ronon~Fatman and Ronon.

Totally missed the mis-spelling, too busy just watching in a glazed over fashion.

That was it! From 'Tao of Rodney.' Thanks!

I know. I think ALL the SG1 ads are from the as yet unseen second half, but SGA gets the short-shrift of recycling from already aired episodes. Yes, thank god the babe magnet ads are dead. Let's hope they are.

LOL. I just laugh at their feeble attempts to advertise this show. I'm hardly surprised they misspelt Ronon's name. Apparently, in earlier advertising, they spelt Sheppard 'Shepherd' as well. *eyeroll*

Going back to the site, cos it's been mentioned a few times in my F-List with regards to advertisements - anyone know what the deal is with this 'Joe Flanigan in Stargate Atlantis' thing? Has he suddenly become the SciFi Channel's SGA poster boy or something?

probably a pay increase

I'm not complaining cuz I don't remmeber in the first two seasons them mentioning JF at all! Perhaps because SGA is now the only SG left?

I suppose we should be grateful it wasn't worse. Like Rodknee. Or something else completly wrong.
