Interesting piece of mail
I was highly amused when I got home tonight and logged into my mail. I had a strange little email from NBC. My initial thought was "what kind of spam is this now?" But, being the curious type, I decided to open it before I just dumped it into my trash.
I'm glad I did, but the email sure amused me.
It was a request to complete a survey for SciFi Channel and NBC. Now, the last time I had done one of these kinds of surveys (for SciFi magazine, actually) I wasn't very nice. I was honest and told them very frankly about what I thought of the channel. In short: I only watched the channel for Stargate and it was about time that SciFi magazine actually wrote some articles about the show that helped to get it some fantastic ratings in the key demographics.
I didn't expect them to ever contact me again even though I checked the "sure I'll complete other surveys" button. I figured they got the results of my survey form and swore they would never let me anywhere near a survey again.
As a side point, I actually enjoy taking surveys for things. Always have. One of my weird quirks, I guess. I've taken surveys on various topics from handbags to television shows to various other products and services. Why not?
In any case, they sent me an invitation to fill out a survey. So, I decided to fill it out. Why not? They sent it to me, right?
It was interesting to say the least. They were conducting a "what do you think of SciFi Friday: specifically SG1, SGA, and BSG. Now, I'm not a BSG fan at all, but I've been watching SG1 and SGA and, until it gets horrible, I'll continue to do so. Am I crazy about SG1's season nine? No. Will I watch it. Yeah. I still like Daniel and Carter and Teal'c. I'm an original cast kinda girl. Anyway, the survey was interesting because it got down to the nitty-gritty of "which characters do you like and why". There were some good questions and a lot of them were trulythere just so they could try to figure out if people liked SG1. Once you got past a certain point, all the questions were about SG1 and the new characters and plotlines. It was very interesting and I wonder what they're going to do with the information they collect. Hopefully, they'll make the show better. Hopefully.
But I know one thing for sure: I'll continue to fill out these surveys as long as they continue to send them to me.

I am envious, to say the least, at your being asked your opinion. I, too, would like to share my thoughts on the new "SciFi Friday." Although, my mind seems to run along much the same lines as you. I hope they take your comments seriously.
