Both.One of Jane/Crazy Ex is also ending at the makers request, but I forgot which.

You laugh, but having Supernatural end next year makes it hurt even more with Wayward Sisters not being picked up. It could have carried on the torch, as well as having guest spots with Padalecki and Ackles from time to time.
On another note, to everyone, how is The Outpost? Didn't watch the first season as I thought it would be cancelled, but thinking of catching up on it now before the season starts. I think it's on Netflix.
We already have a great monster of the week shows with some kickass girls in the lead. Wayward Sisters could never be as good.
It also has actual monsters instead of people with weird teeth.
Is that Legacies? I'm considering getting into the Vampire Diaries universe but feel a bit overwhelmed lol
Edit: Wait, that looks like Josie from Legacies. I do watch that show, but it's been awhile and I have a number of episodes backed up on the DVR (haven't seen this episode yet).
The backdoor pilot for Wayward Sisters was pretty good plus the cast was already well known to Supernatural fans after multiple guest appearances, I've seen spinoffs built on much, much worse concepts. They could've easily turn into a proper show with the brothers (or other Supernatural cast members) making guest appearances once or twice per season to boost the ratings
It's weird, Supernatural never really had any monsters with even half extensive makeup after the wendigo in the first season. I wonder why.
People really don't remember the other Supernatural spinoff? About people hip to magic and good monsters just trying to get by

I've read Pedowit'z comments on dropping the idea for the spinoff and I definitely may be biased on this subject. ;) It just feels strange to me how you can mess up the concept for a show like this. I mean you already have a good cast, all the Supernatural lore is there and CW has experience doing similar shows.Pedowitz has been very open in regards to his shows, his doubts and what he wants to achieve. I believe him when he claims the show wasn't coming together.

Nope, that never clicked with me. Jodie and Donna are great but the bunch of girls and the "we make our own family" stuff ... meh. Throw a demon bomb into the house, burn the girls to a crisp, stuff Jody and Donna in a U-Haul and start from there.
Supernatural is Sam and Dean, I doubt anyone could make a successful spin-off of it.I've read Pedowit'z comments on dropping the idea for the spinoff and I definitely may be biased on this subject. ;) It just feels strange to me how you can mess up the concept for a show like this.

They've flat out said why multiple times.Legacies is ok so far and I like Matt Davis and Danielle Rose Russell, but maybe part of me is still disappointed Candice King didn't become part of the show. I know it was by her choice, but even still. I mean it just doesn't make a lot of sense. Caroline starts the school, and does so in the name of her deceased lover, but then runs off indefinitely to other parts of the world. I honestly don't even remember what they indicated she is doing.
Just read an article letting me know Farscape is back streaming on Amazon Prime Video. Didn't watch during the initial run, but remember it being a big cult favorite. Started to get into season 1 a couple years back, then it was pulled from most services. Now I can get back into the show.
It is so incredibly good. Check out TVD S1-3 at least. The Originals is great as well. Legacies is a nice jumping-on point.Is that Legacies? I'm considering getting into the Vampire Diaries universe but feel a bit overwhelmed lol
I, for one, am good and ready to be outraged at missing out on a bunch of shows because it'll launch in the US, Canada, and UK exclusivelyI mean, we already know they have a ton of original content lined up - we just don't know how exactly they're going to deliver it yet.

Well I wouldn't know they weren't. :D
Season 5 is bad. What it's trying to do is good but the execution is just crap. There's some good stuff/character moments sprinkled there and it never turnd, like, BBT levels of horrible, but it just feels the least like a realistic portrayal of anything of Wire seasons.Seasons 4 and 5 of The Wire are my faves. I usually see Season 4 listed as one of the best and parts of S5 noted as disappointing.
Also In Treatment is one of my favorite HBO series alongside SFU, Enlightened, Big Love and Carnivale. I enjoyed Barry S1 a lot, too. I'd really like to see some of the other versions of In Treatment, like the Japanese remake.
The CW is gonna have a lot of spots to fill in the coming year. I hope they renew Roswell. I'm really liking that show.

Thank you for this detailed and very informative post! I'll definitely start with the Vampire Diaries and think I'll alternate between that and Originals when I get to season 5. It sounds like I'll like these shows!Julie Plec, one of the EPs behind the Roswell remake, was the main creative force behind The Vampire Diaries, so there's a good chance you will enjoy TVD also. She also worked on Containment, a one season CW show from a couple years back about a viral outbreak and quarantine. It had a couple TVD actors on it and it was really compelling and enjoyable.
TVD though is one of my absolute favorite series of all time and I can't recommend it enough. If you get into it, you will really find it an engrossing and compelling viewing experience with well drawn characters and an exciting and ever-changing plot. I will say the first few episodes are just ok, so it's one of those shows where you have to stick with it through the first part of the first season, and then it kicks things up several notches and starts to pull you in more.
In terms of it's overwhelmingness as a universe, it's not as complicated as it may seem. TVD is the main series and ran for 8 seasons. Starting with Season 5, the spinoff The Originals ran concurrently. The Originals lasted for five seasons and the final season set up Legacies, which is currently finishing its first season And is a spin-off of both series.
So when you get to season 5 of the VD and The Originals begins, you could alternate episodes or seasons for the mostly small crossovers between the two shows.
Or you could watch all of The Originals at once after finishing the entirety of TVD. There's only one or two true crossover episodes from what I remember and I think that may be the most enjoyable way. I found alternating episodes between the two series to diminish the pace or momentum of each show.
So I'd recommend alternating seasons or just watching all of Originals after TVD. The very little you'd miss out on with crossovers would be better than randomly throwing in an Originals episode with lots of unfamiliar plot points specific to that series.
I loved TVD, liked S1 , 2 and especially 5 of Originals a lot (S3 and 4 were less compelling to me) and am eager to watch Legacies when the season finishes.
Tl;Dr just start with the first seasons of the main series and go from there. Hope you dig it.
