I really think she is a incredibly talented marketing strategist. A bit lacking in morals and ethics. But she really knows how to do commercials. But as VP of programming she applies strategies she learned on 30 second commercials to halfhour-hour long shows and it really don't work. Its like in Star Trek II (geek alert) when Kahn is manuevery and attacking well...but shows the 2 dimensional thinking of a ground-based battlefield. Space has the extra third dimension. So all Kirk had to do was move up or down and wait for Bonnie...er Kahn to miss him.

Bonnie Hammer is like Kahn. She doesn't see the ramifications of the extra dimension, time. Going from 30 seconds to an hour requires different thinking she hasn't shown an adeptness over.

That and she doesn't really like SciFi. She wants horror. She wants weird and strange. And because she is programming head of a cable channel, we get mostly crap. Scare Tactics, John Edwards....



That's why she should go. NBC has the resources to do better.
