Really? On this network? You're sure they are not desperate enough to give it 10 seasons? Other CW shows come to mind... *g*
Yeah but those other shows had the actors stupidly signing on that far in advance. :p And considering Jensen`s "please kill me now" look in every interview and appearance since Comic Con? He wishes for a time machine to fix that. As do I.
Now with TVD, from everything I heard, Paul Wesley for sure is halfway out the door. And they can`t create evil stories for him for eternity to keep him onboard. And Dobrev and Somerhalder aren`t that interested to go on forever either, especially now I guess.
I doubt they`d continue the show without one of the main three.
I don't know, I'm not fond of the baby plot - nor the Marcel plot.
Me neither. And the teenage super-witch in the attic just made me roll my eyes. Okay, they had to give him something to balance the scales but the obvious answer on these shows is always magic-ex-machina.
I think I would have more fun seeing them build New Orleans in the flashbacks. That could be fun.
I mean if this show works like TVD, they will have resolved all this and have completely different plots by episode 1.04 latest *g*
Hee. That is true. *g*
Weren't you watching Beauty and The Beast? *g*
Oh, I totally forgot about that. Bodes well for my interest level, huh? I think it works as a pure, cheesy romance story but it`s probably not going to go beyond a second Season either. The ratings were already bad last year and I don`t see them improving or even holding steady.
Arrow bores me so much. I think I will still give it another chance this season, but fact is I don't give a fuck about any of the characters. And I'm kinda giving up hope that that will ever change.
I really dig Oliver as a character but I can totally see how he would leave one flat. And the show just isn`t offering enough of something else if the main character doesn`t engage you. Shallowly, I just love the action/stunt scenes. :)
I think I watched all the teasers and wasn't fond of any of the CW ones : ( Even the ones the sounded interesting had that bland CW teen show look.
Hm, the Tomorrow People looked very bland and formulaic. Then there was this Roswell redo that looked abysmal. I don`t even know what they were thinking with "Reign". Oh yeah, I do: teenage romance in a period piece. *headdesk*
So the only one that stuck out really was that "100". They will probably find a way to fuck that up but it had a bit of a Hunger Games vibe to it that I liked.
So far only Sleepy Hollow made it to my "keep list"...
Agreed. Loved it so far. I was dreading this time-travelling Ichabod thing so much but the writing and the actors especially are pulling it off.
and Agents of SHIELD. Which wasn't as strong as expected - but on the other hand I didn't like Firely until we were 5 episodes in, either. So I'm guessing MAoS will find its footing once we had some character episodes.
I think the hype and expectations for the show were too high after the Avengers. The characters are just too bland right now but you`re right about Firefly taking time as well. I remember being bored all too hell during the Pilot.

It`s not bad, it`s just pretty standard so far.
