Bang, zoom, we got off into left field.  It's a tangent.  I introduced
it by equating Bonnie Hammer's influence at The Sci-Fi Channel to a
cancer that's metastasizing, first within the channel, then also to The
USA Network, and now to all NBC/Universal cable programming due to her
being promoted again and again.  Some, here, have indicated that maybe
there's a bit of hope for The Sci-Fi Channel because now her influence
will be more distant and possibly dilute, which I doubt.
