2017-18 Season TV Cancellations/Pilots: E Corp does hostile takeover. Shuts down fsociety

It was when the girl leaves him and gives him the baseball. I don't know if there are more episodes, but it was a moment that felt like it was supposed to close to show if they were cancelled. lol
At the end of the episode when Lea is leaving she ask Shaun "Are you a good doctor? Because when I think of you I think you are."
Actors aren't paid per role. They also each negotiate their own rate through an agent and/or manager. Tatiana Maslany almost certainly made the most on that show though as its lead, with no other extremely notable actor part of the main cast. As with most relative unknowns, she probably got paid more in the later seasons than the earlier ones.
Yes. It's being shopped to other networks but who knows if anything will actually come of it. I can't imagine it will but stranger things have happened.
I never got why the show moved from MTV to Spike in the first place.
Me on May 11 2017 said:
Speaking of Stranger Things maybe Netflix will pick it up.
Why a family drama, though? Everything else sounds good...but that could drag it down.
How so? Like, family drama doesn't mean "for families" - Six Feet Under was a family drama, as was Big Love.
Supposedly it's because Shannara skewed older and male, which was more in line with Spike's demo. MTV skews younger and female (and is also shifting away from scripted iirc. They don't have anything lined up apart from the third season of Scream in March) so they thought it was a poor fit.
I assume Apple will get it because they're hungrier for content than HBO is (and also have way the fuck more money than HBO).

It's interesting how Apple is stocking up on sci-fi. This is, what, their fifth announced one (potentially)? They seem to be interested in primarily being a place for science-fiction, which sets them uniquely apart from the streamers like Amazon and Netflix who are throwing everything at the wall.
I know of one more they've bought that hasn't been announced yet too.

God this sounds like such garbage. HBO should spend its money elsewhere.
What is this DJ Douche meme that I'm keep seeing since some years?
Does it sound interesting?
"a world's battle against a monstrous, oppressive force" does sound pretty generic. I'm sure there's more to it than that but it's certainly not the most appealing first impression, that's for sure.
Dear Ausiello, this is completely untrue. Get your shit together.
From THR:
Shrug. Sounds like a ton of other things.
Of course, I also think Abrams sucks at everything besides casting and convincing execs to buy things, so having him spearhead the creation and writing is not a plus in my book.
I think so, but I might be biased on this one in particular.

And it turns out that her mother created this world and waking her up is the only way to restore order. Yawn.
A live action Gatchaman?
On HBO that would probably mean some very dysfunctional family which can be good if you like that stuff. ;)
Edit: Well I just read the pitch for the show and it doesn't sound like anything special, I'd still watch the pilot though.
I've seen all three now and I liked Wind River more than the other two, at least Sicario's setting and story didn't do much for me. Anyway I'm looking forward to what Taylor Sheridan is doing.
Tatiana Maslany was incredible in Orphan Black. Truly a breakout performance with all her avatars.
That said, I still couldn't watch the show after season 2. Nothing they did with the story made any sense to me in that season so the show just kind of lost me after that.

I never got why it was on MTV in the first place.
(or well I get why, they tried to get their demo with a pretty boy lead, but fantasy still skews quite male and it doesn't seem to match with much of their other programming. Maybe Teen Wolf had some audience crossover with Shannara, but it's still not what I'd think of aas a natural fit for the network.)
Eh, that's a big maybe. It's been sold around quite a bit internationally and not platforms held by the same owner (HBO has it in the Nordics, Channel 5 in the UK, etc) and Netflix seems more likely to go for things they get most of the worldwide rights for. So it could find a home on something like Hulu that is more focused on the American market or something like CBS All Access/Epix that could use something with a built-in audience to grow their brand.
(I know your post might have been the obligatory half-serious "maybe Netflix will save it, but it's fun to speculate)
edit: I should have read the Deadline article before posting;
Still rate it as fairly unlikely, unless they can scoop full exclusivity. But hey, maybe it's really popular on Netflix so they want it bad.
Also, I kind of hope it doesn't find a new home because I made a good joke in the title for once. Just don't expect this level of quality for future titles (and yes, this is as good as my titles will ever get... don't say I didn't warn you)

The show hit a really rough patch in the second half of season 2 and into season 3. I'm not surprised you dropped it. I managed to finish the damn thing by the end, but it took some doing. The final season was generally pretty solid, though. I don't remember if you got to meet the funniest clone yet if you gave up during S2.
Winner, Winner chicken dinner
Right on the mark with a .8 for Black Lightning, which retained all of the Flash's audience
IT HELD
Solid start for Black Lightning. I haven't gotten a chance to watch it yet but it is really feeling like CW is going overboard with the cape shows.
It's woke as fuck, too the point I don't how they can do crossovers without dumbing it down for the Arrowverse
We just need to have an episode where Barry shows up in Freeland and then Jefferson spends the entire episode lecturing him for being a dumbass.
I'm looking forward to checking it out, I just kinda wish it was in airing in the summer so they didn't have 5 shows going at once. It kinda feels like a chore at this point to watch them all.
Jefferson and Papa Joe having a Father-off would be greatness.
That would need to be a 2 parter at the min to get through to Barry.
I need this in my life. I'm actually super impressed with the actor playing Jefferson, too. He nails pretty much everything he's given so far.
Who are we kidding? It'd be a season-long arc.
I'm a fan of McNairy so this is additional good news in my book. Perhaps this season will actually pan out.
To be fair, only 4 shows airing at once
Since Supergirl is on now, and will be on hiatus when Legends returns, Legends ends... then Supergirl returns!
Neat! I guessed 0.8 as well.
Good to see that it didn't really lose anything from The Flash.
It's Going to be hilarious if this is bang on.
As much as I'd love that, I don't think it would appeal to very many people outside of myself.
Of course it would. Even Jefferson's powers are not enough to fix Barry's elemental dumbness. I don't even think Metron could do it.
I'm telling you it's the Speedforce. Every speedster is a dumbass. The Speedforce is making them dumb.
Human brains simply aren't set up to process information at the speed the Speed Force requires and that hyper-processing translates into stupidity.
