A rose by any other name may smell as sweet, but would the bloom come off if we called it a roze?
In the case of Syfy, I can't imagine that it will. Warehouse 13 wasn't by any means perfect – in addition to other issues, the level of seriousness vs. goofiness seemed uneasy at times last night – but it was definitely an enjoyable two-hour experience. And, who doesn't like Saul Rubinek (as long as he's not Sol Roobinek, I guess, but maybe even then he'd be enjoyable).
In recent years SciFi was a strong cable network, and the new Syfy seems to be playing to SciFi's sci-fi strengths, so there's no reason to think that Syfy won't be everything SciFi was (and possibly more) in the near future. The rebranding though may just allow them to expand beyond the niche they've been so successful in. Is that a good idea? Maybe. All I know is that I don't want them to stop making those incredibly bad original movies.

As long as they keep chruning out those awesomely bad grade-Z movies , they can call themselves whatever they want.

Hate it. Understand this may help them be more canonical; but this is just goofy.

Another soppy excuse for men to look stupid so that women can look smart and, of course, "strong." Not 10 minutes into the 2nd showing we had to hear about men and their balls. Give us break.
