Glad Van Helsing is getting another season though I'm starting to feel like it should be nearing its end next year.

Look, when off-broadway theatres are capable of firing his ass with the statement "We're committed to creating and maintaining a respectful and professional work environment for everyone we work with " (emphasis mine but yeah) Netflix should do the same. It was just a comment on how he wasn't in charge of Van Helsing anymore and shouldn't be in charge of shit.
Your statement obviously makes it sound like SYFY fired him, which they did not. Unless you're trying to claim the MCC Theater was putting on a sci-fi tv show instead of a play.

I can't take responsibility for whatever you read into my post. Nowhere in the first post you took umbrage with did I mention that he was fired or anything akin to that, just that he wasn't in charge anymore (which is accurate), that not having him in charge is smart (which, also accurate), and that maybe Netflix should consider the same. Your reading of that post is not obvious at all.
I'll chime in and disagree with you. Saying that SyFy is smart for not having him in charge of the show anymore implies that it was their decision. A more apt word would be "fortunate" since it wasn't their choice.

🤷♂️
I don't even mention SYFY by name and the whole thing was a suggestion that Netflix is dumb for letting him be a showrunner. If that's how you two read it, ok, not how it was intended but I have already spent way more time arguing about anything even remotely related to Neil LaBute for this day to turn out to be good.

Speaking of bad ideas and sci-fi; remember that supposed Divergent spin-off?
Buzzfeed News: How "Divergent" Turned Into A Disaster
Buzzfeed News: How "Divergent" Turned Into A Disaster
Okay, I barely remember this. This was the thing were they went "Okay, last movie is cancelled. We'll just conclude the movie with a TV show." and all the actors were all "wtf no." right?
I only watched the first two, but Jesus that series went downhill fast. I think there were two issues with that franchise. YA adaptation fatigue & the second novel would have been way too hard to adapt so they had to make an entire new script.
It's a shame. As someone who likes comic book movies I did like that there were other franchises around at the beginning of the decade. Now there is nothing.

I believe it was originally just supposed to be a TV movie. Then they changed it to a show:
Only 2 were made.
The movies didn't even do badly at the BO, they were both ~$300 million. I blame Shailene Woodley, she was so bad they even cut here from Amazing Spider-Man 2! :P
Seriously though, the film franchise died because the director quit.
OP

Yeah, Shailene Woodley found out during the press tour for Snowden, and then went all "I didn't sign up to be in a television show".
I can't tell if this is a joke à la "there are no Matrix sequels" or not. So disregard the following if that's the case; they had already switched directors once in the series so that's not the main issue, it
s that the third film flamed out hard (it made only $66M in the US and $179M total worldwide on a $110M budget) which led to Lionsgate first slashing the budget for the fourth film before they killed it all together for a TV movie turned TV series that now is confirmed will never happen.
Nah, that was my bad about 3 movies actually coming out and I was only looking at the first two when I wrote my post. The director of 2 and 3 quiting instead of finishing 4 (which was actually 3: part 2) sure as hell didn't help. Either way, it wasn't YA fatigue tanking the series when crap like Maze Runner 2 and 3 still did well at the BO during the same time.
lol they didnt have to put book spoilers like that.
But Im sad, I loved this movie franchise.
Disagreee with the person saying it was aimless and had no clear direction. I think the goal was always breaking the borders and escaping their castes, and then freeing everyone of the walls they lived in.
That said, on my list of Hunger Games, Twilight, MazeRunner, Percy Jackson, and so on,
Divergent comes under Hunger games. Twilight and MazeRunner are tied for one for me.
I look forward to TV writers in 2099 being forced to come up with 99 shows to watch. :p
Poor Divergent, I actually enjoyed the first two for the most part but part 1 of the third book/movie did lose me.

I just came across the tweet again, and this time I will remember to tell y'all about it:
Worth noting that this was originally set to be on that world famous OTT service blackpills (I'm still not making it up, it's a real OTT). Now blackpills is a mobile first OTT (and as we know with go90 and Studio+ that's the most successful type of OTT, rooting for u Meg) and Deadline notes that:
here have a trailer (NSFW language, but it doesn't have nudity in it, sorry 2 disappoint RatskyWatsky )

Listen, maybe the internet has broken my brain, but I'm not watching any streaming/cable content if it doesn't have hardcore nudity in every episode.
I did actually watch Netflix for the first time in months. Binged The Fix, a comedy panel show. It's okay but a little stilted. These kind of shows live and die on the host banter, and filming them all back to back didn't give them much time to develop that. But the writing is decent and when it goes off the rails it's damn funny.

USA is going to have quite the drop after WWE Smackdown leaves next fall.
Per Nielsen.
I think in 2099 we'll just Full Dive into shows on one megaservice and play out the characters
It's one of my default channels. Makes for good background...
I haven't even seen season 6 yet but it just feels like this show is dragging on forever. For anyone that watched it, was the move to a new city a nice change of pace for the show?
Huh, I thought that had beem confirmed already, like back when season 7 got announced. Maybe I'm just thinking about how season 7 wasn't a sure thing so it just seemed like it would be the finale when it did get renewed.
Hopefully they can finally get Moriarty back on the show. I know they were pretty famous and probably busy with other stuff, but their absence was definitely felt the last few seasons (including a prison breakout we never saw and communicating with Sherlock through a random third party character).

I know they aren't doing this deliberately but...
'Luke Cage' Showrunner Cheo Hodari Coker Inks Overall Deal With Amazon
It's way better than the premise would let you think. I need to start watching the second season.
LOL yeah the summaries really under sell it. I like that the humor is super subtle.
Watched the Deadly Class pilot. I'm not big into YA stuff at all, but found it pretty appealing. It's got a certain style to it that "Feels" both comic book and 80s. Good cast of characters (even if they are a bit tropey) and they somehow managed to service all of them pretty well in just one episode. Looking forward to seeing where it goes.
Nope. It's the same old stuff just with a different background.
Thursday night's ratings. Looks like the series finale of Timeless did about as well as its original 2-season run. Murphy Brown ended on a low. It was the only show to air a new episode last night and that number is about on par with how it did for the season anyway:
So what's going to happen to Black Lightning is a huge question in my mind. My impression is that he's a huge driving force on that show and it has such a unique voice. Seems likely that he will eventually be gone but will the show go with it?
The same thing happened with some of the other CW superhero shows last year though it might of been easier to keep those shows running since they're all filmed in Vancover and I'm sure they have a major production base there for the shows (and even with that I remember that a bunch of Supergirl episodes got delayed), I believe Black Lightning films somewhere else.
They film in Georgia. BL is also unconnected to the other shows due to Akil's desires(for the best). I would hope it continues and they get another black showrunner with a strong voice to helm.
