Acquire? WTF?

Well, it's filmed in Vancouver, so they're all set. Problem is that it's actually based in Vancouver for once.

Syfy is continuing its relationship with the fine Canadians of Canada and will import Continuum, a buzzy drama starring Rachel Nichols. The 10-episode first season just wrapped up earlier this month on Canada's Showcase, and a second season has already been ordered. Nichols stars as a cop from the future that is wormholed back to present-day Vancouver and chases down future terrorists who have also time-traveled. I've seen a handful of episodes and can confirm that this does not suck.



This actually sucks. I was hoping another U.S. network would pick up the show. Syfy's audience is dumbed down with their reality garbage that their pseudo scifi shows have dropped to miniscule numbers. I thought maybe TNT would pick it up and pair it with with Falling Skies. That way the show would get maybe triple the audience.
Oh well. I just bet Syfy will announce Continuum as a "Syfy Original" just like they did with Lost Girl" Nothing says low ratings like "Syfy Original"
