    I hate Sci-Fi (I hate that new name) for cancelling Eureka and other good shows, so they don't have to worry about me starting to hate them for (potentially) selling me a bad product. I've been there for years.

    I just wonder when the next Sci-Fi TV Monster Movie is gonna be and if it'll be about a rip-off from Defiance or whatnot.

    Sadly I never got around to watching Warehouse 13, but yes, your point stands.

    I never really got into that show to begin with. But did they cancel it or is it just running its course? I mean its been on for more than a few seasons.

    This is the fourth season. It's getting a half season next year to wrap up the series. Personally, I'd have liked to see them get a full season to put them closer to ideal syndication numbers.

    You have a point there playing the game keeps me from wanting to watch the show.

    I have not seen anyone disgruntled over having to do the slightest amount of work because that's exactly what it is, a slight amount of work that ultimately can be disregarded because it's almost trivial. However, the transmedia experience has been extremely lacking. Game to show lacking makes sense, the season was already filmed. But show to game? it seems like they're barely putting any effort into it. One of the community managers said that season 2 episodic content will be changed to accommodate our feedback, we'll see how that goes.

    Problem is the average viewer (the majority) won't play the game, join in on the podcast, or use the interactive thingy during the show. They know this. The goodies are for us the hardcore people who want to experience it if and when they can.

    They do more on Twitter and Facebook (and tumblr) than anywhere it seems, that is where I see most of the information without having to interrupt first run shows with the syfy interactive tablet thingy.

    Speaking of the tablet, it gets really annoying to see a game advertisement in the tablet right after seeing one on the show.

    Also, the last episode with the interactive app, they said players were helping rynn combat a new hellbug problem, that has been over for weeks. And the launcher still says "find the cure" that has been over as well.
