Happy for IZombie The Flash and The Messengers but Jane The Virgin not so much could have kept The Tomorrow People wonder is they going to pick up Dorothy Must Die read the book it was a good read kinds wish they have a show where the women is a super hero
Not surprised that CW passed on Bloodlines. Not too many people responded well to the ep even though I didn't think it was too bad. I don't think the Jane the Virgin show sounds that interesting. The Messengers sounds like somethink we've had before and I so happy for The Flash. Not too excited for iZombie.
It Is About A Mysterious Object Comes Crashing Down To Earth And Kills A Group Of Unconnected Strangers Then They Awaken Angels Of They Upcoming Apocalypse.
You're right. I'm letting my emotions get the better of me, for which I apologize. For whoever wanted this to be picked up, it's nice. It doesn't appeal to me though as it doesn't sound interesting.
I'm SO angry right now! Yay for The Messengers and The Flash, but REALLY?! Supernatural: Bloodlines AND The Tomorrow People?! They'd BETTER get him on Arrow Stat!!! I really still DO NOT CARE about Beauty And The Beast, never watched, WILL never watch, Ohhhh I'm So Livid right now!!!
I'm glad iZombie, The Messengers and The Flash have been picked up. I saw pieces of Jane the Virgin (the mexican soap opera) and it was pretty bad. Maybe they surprise us and it turns out to be good (doubt it).
I'm very happy that iZombie, The Flash, and The Messenger got all pick up. I can't believe Jane the Virgin got pick up what a horrible name for the tv series. It will be better if they change the name. I don't think I'm going to watch Jane The Virign but excited to see all other 3.
Happy for The Flash! I don't really know what the others are about (I tried to stay away as much as possibile from pilots this year), I'll wait for some footage.
I think the problem with Bloodlines is the way they tried to introduce it, as a Supernatural episode. It's radically different from the show so fans obviously disliked it. I don't watch Supernatural (stopped sometime during season 5) but from the comments I read I understood it felts like a completely different show. It would have had more sense as a standalone pilot, in my opinion.
Hopefully we'll see Nathaniel Buzolic again on TVD or The Originals, he's a truly great actor.
Jane The Virgin could be this year's Reign. I remember how everyone complained about Reign last year. It was actually a pretty good show and it managed to earn a second season.
Maybe not, but if The CW picked it over Bloodlines (basically an almost clone of The Originals) it can't be that horrendous.
Identity was definitely not the right fit for The CW, but I am mildly surprised abut Jane the Virgin being picked up. It definitely needs a name change.
There were more problems with Bloodlines than the way it was introduced. I went in with no expectations that it would be Supernatural, but lost interest about 5 minutes into it. TTP, however, kept my interest throughout the season, RIP.
Can someone tell me what The Messengers or Jane the Virgin are about? This is the first time I've even heard of those titles. Sucks about Bloodlines though as I was excited to see what a series could be about since the episode itself was jam-packed with ideas. Wonder if we'll be getting some kind of mini arc in season ten now to wrap up those storylines?
I was probably blinded by all the man-candy (Nathaniel, Sean Faris, Bryce Johnson + Jensen and Jared...) but I kind of liked it. It had major flaws plot wise, but nothing that couldn't be fixed.
I'm sad about TTP too, it will be missed. Hopefully Robbie Amell('s abs) can stick around and find a new show on The CW :)
No surprise with Bloodlines. It was far too crappy to ever be picked up. I'm just so annoyed that the writers could ever have considered that pitiful effort a spin-off of Supernatural. They were too lazy to think up anything better and they deserved to flop!
This is just one more example of how incapable the SPN writers are. Unfortunately Supernatural is still stuck with them and they are messing that up too. I doubt even the charisma of Jared and Jensen can repair the damage being done to the show.
I think they would have had more success with Bloodlines if they had introduced the show as being it's own thing - a brand new show and not a spin-off. They marketed it as a Supernatural spin-off but it was nothing like Supernatural and didn't feel like part of the world we've come to know in the 9 years of Supernatural.
I think it would have worked better if there hadn't been so many secondary/main characters. They should have kept it simple and focused on just two or three characters instead of introducing entire families of characters and their enemies.
Well here is my take on what it was going to be. 5 (or 4 i don't remember the exact families number) which would be the main cast and a hunter which would be shown from time to time. And we will be focused more on the monsters then the hunter. To me this is not Spin-off of Supernatural, more completely new focus series connected to Supernatural.
I'm shocked by Jane The Virgin being picked up! Shocked, I tell you! There's not a single supernatural element to that show at all. What is the CW smoking this week?
(I'm actually happy to see a show with no supernatural elements on the list, but really Jane The Virgin???)
JANE THE VIRGIN A series of surprising and unforeseen events causes a hard-working, religious young Latina to be accidentally artificially inseminated. Adapted from a Venezuelan telenovela.
THE MESSENGERS When a mysterious object crashes down to Earth, a group of seemingly unconnected strangers dies from the energy pulse. But then they awaken to learn that they have been deemed responsible for preventing the impending apocalypse.
Excited about iZombie and the Flash. Jane the virgin sounds ridiculous, but I might consider watching it if it turns out to be something funny, maybe Ugly Betty-style
First of All, im kinda sad Bloodlines is OUT. It was different that Supernatural and it was the reason why it got so much hate, i guess
Im glad Identity didnt get picked. It sounded good, but there were better options
1. JtV : At first i hated the idea, but if they can make it funny show like HoD is to take its place im here for it
2.TM : It was my favorite pilot, but the cast doesnt seem very great. Lets see what happens after i see the trailer
3. TF : Cast is great, 3 characters that were introduced in Arrow were great. Im really looking forward to see this
4. iZombie : My favorite pilot. Cast is great. Lets just hope it will have a proper story and wont start like detective show like BatB and loose all its viewers
I'm glad that they didn't pick up that horrible Supernatural Bloodline spin-off. Maybe the producers can dedicate themselves to actually try and fix the original series which has gone down hill
I'll probably give the first couple of episodes of each one a shot and see how it goes. I wrote off most of this season's CW freshman shows only to get hooked once they were actually on the air, for better or for worse.
Doubtful. Julie for some reason seems to hate his character and I don't really understand why. She previously said that Kol was "too dark" for the show or some nonsense.
Jane the Virgin sounds horrendous, and while the idea of The Messengers sounds cool, something tells me whoever is behind the project is going to end up making it a very CW-like series besides trying to make it its own thing, like Supernatural or Arrow.
Yeah, one of the early summaries for The Messengers called the strangers 'Angels of the coming apocalypse'. Which vaguely reminds me of Supernatural and TVD.
I plan on giving it a go though, hopefully it'll be another 'The 100'.
And Jane does sound horrendous. Part of me hopes it'll be another HoD though. On paper the concept of HoD is terrible, but the show pulls it off so well that it's hard to hate.
Yeah, early in the show she mentioned he was too dark to bring in permanently. But recently Julie teased that Kol had history in New Orleans and might have a story there.
This hate on JtV is really stupid, IMO, considering no previews have been released. While it could easily be horrible it could also VERY easily be fantastic, it sounds like a could be a silly over the top comedy like Ugly Better, or Awkward maybe. A super religious girl gets pregnant by mistake? Sorry but I have to learn towards probably going to be freakin AWESOME, I just hope it's as irreverent as it sounds.
I watched it last night thinking it would probably get a pickup, and boy, it was just bad. I think they intentionally were trying to NOT get picked up.
I agree! The only thing that borders me is the title. It's like she is cursed or sick or something. Better just call it Jane or The life of Jane but not Jane the Virgin.
She said last summer/fall when they were promoting the show that we might get to see Kol in flashbacks and that has not happened at all. We got two seconds of him daggered on the boat in 1x01 and that was it.
Bloodlines sure were a disappointment, they could do so much more within the SPN universe, but this felt to close to The Originals, but in Chicago instead of New Orleans. But at the same time, Supernatural is not that much withut Sam and dean. So i am a bit sad, but not surprised at all.
At least the did THIS right. No more Supernatural/The Originals(the worst possible version), Next year try a spin off of Bobby, Rufus or even Samuel Colt...THAT will be a great show.
They didn't. They added an extra episode for the potential spinoff. Viewers are getting the same 22 episodes that were ordered before the season started.
I'm actually kind of glad that Bloodlines wasn't picked up. The cast just didn't seem to click and have that chemistry on-screen like Jared and Jensen did on the very first episode of Supernatural. Then again, it would be very hard to recreate that chemistry that J2 have, since they have been best friends practically since the second they've met. With the negativity the episode got, I didn't really want Bloodlines to get picked up, canceled right away, and give an embarrassment to the original series. Might as well do it now before it got bad. Now, I believe if they based the spin-off on an actual character from the show (Jody Mills has been talked about, and I'd like to see a background of Gabriel, Cas, or possibly even Lucifer's lives; a pre-series was also a thought, with young Dean and Sam and what it was actually like in their childhood with John hunting and Dean taking care of Sam. The pre-series actually sounds like a good one now that I've said it.) the episode would have been taken a lot more seriously and would have most likely been received a lot better than Bloodlines.
They had 23 Supernatural episodes because they ordered 23 Supernatural episodes. This season had 22 episodes and a 23rd was added later to produce the backdoor pilot. Fans were not cheated out of a SPN episode because of the pilot.
Never cared for Robbie, but dang am going to miss Luke Mitchell, John was the reason I stayed with the series. They keep Hart of Dixie & Beauty and the Beast and get rid of TTP. :(
Darn. I was interested in Identity and that was about it for this network. Oh well, it probably didn't help that Orci and Kurtzman announced that they might be going separate ways in the future...
Relieved that Bloodlines was given a pass. It just didn't do it for me. There are so many other things in the SPN universe that I would rather see as a spin off (MoL, Knights of Hell, Samuel Colt, etc).
thank you CW for passing on Bloodlines that SUCKED! no Heart too it at all. You know at least SPN had heart and you cared about the Guys well intell pick a season mine is season 7 They killed Bobby then it lost its heart but we still care right?
LOl Jane teh Virgin .. Im gonaa watch it i wanna see what they do to that... The Flash AWESOME! WOAO they passed on Bloodlines i thouth that was a sure thing The Messengers sounds like a good midseason show Izombie will take Reign spot next season!
Bloodlines was terrible. Word of advice: if you want SPN fans to care about the spin-off, then you should not have it ignore SPN canon, make Sam & Dean look dumb to give the new characters moments, and definitely not give Sam & Dean 3 minutes on screen in their own damn series.
Flash should be good. I liked all of the characters that have been introduced on Arrow.
iZombie sounds like Tru Calling. Not much new there other than being a zombie.
The Messengers sounds interesting. As long as there are no love triangles (which was part of the reason I quit watching The Tomorrow People.
Jane the Virgin will bomb. Maybe it would have been successful in the One Tree Hill/90210/Gossip Girl era, but now its the era of genre shows.
I'm looking forward to seeing some promos for iZombie. Love Rose McIver as Tink on Once Upon a Time. Will miss Tink, but glad the actress got a whole series to show off her talent.
At cons, people have asked the Arrow production team about Amazon. They keep telling people it's not as dead as it seems, and it's being retooled. The general theory is that they wanna take the same approach as Flash (multiple episode arc) rather then just introduce Wonder Woman in a brand new show (like originally planned).
Meanwhile, Syfy ordered a script for a Booster Gold show by the same production team as Arrow. It's still unconfirmed if it will be set in the Arrow Universe, but considering it's by the same team...I want to believe.
Same here. I'm very excited about The Flash and iZombie. I think Messengers could be good but I'll wait for the trailer. They messed up the concept of TTP so they could mess up The Messengers too.
I wonder if the actor did something to piss her off (he seems to be a cool guy but this is Plec) because she seems to really hate the character for no logical reason. Klaus is the darkest character so her reason is nonsense. She also said Kol was a soulless killer like her siblings have never done anything evil or wrong.
TTP's concept was messed up. The entire first season deviated from the premise of the original series. The season was like watching a prequel and we'd all have to wait for season two for things to get where they should be. That was really bad creative strategy, IMO.
Take this as an opportunity to learn something. Correcting people the way you just did won't get you anywhere in life. Most likely they're just going to assume that you're autistic and move on.
"Hopefully we'll see Nathaniel Buzolic again on TVD or The Originals, he's a truly great actor." I Second that, Kol is a great character. Hope Nathaniel get a stint on The Orginals.
he created Kol & Finn because she had to (as Elijah had told Elena that his mother had 7 children and 2 of them died before they were turned into vampires) but she never really cared about them the way she did Elijah, Klaus and Rebekah. Finn's sole purpose was to demonstrate that when an Original died their bloodline died along with them. Kol was just there - and she killed him off in a totally unbelievable way because she didn't want to have to deal with him on the spin-off.
um, no, it was always announced that it was going to be a 23 episode season, just like last season was and the season before. It's been 23 episodes a season since season 7. It wasn't suddenly 23 episodes this season so that they could fit in "Bloodlines." They burned an episode of the show for this lame spin off.
It just sounds so stupid. This was a telenovela so it was limited. In America, the idea is to drag everything out way past its due date. I can't see this concept lasting multiple seasons.
Ahhh.....never watched it. It it just seems like this girl would ave her baby and then that would be the end of the story. I just don't see how they could drag this out multiple seasons.
The whole telenovela aspect, and Jane enjoying telenovelas makes me think the series would be better if it were in a meta fashion as in, Jane views everything as a telenovela after her world is turned upside down with her becoming pregnant now. Gosh dang, I didn't realize I had better ideas than a lot of these writers….haha.
NOTE: Name-calling, personal attacks, spamming, excessive self-promotion, condescending pomposity, general assiness, racism, sexism, any-other-ism, homophobia, acrophobia, and destructive (versus constructive) criticism will get you BANNED from the party.
Yay for iZombie, the Flash, and The Messengers!
ReplyDeleteWTF for Jane The Virgin..
They should have renewed TTP instead of picking up that terrible Jane the Virgin.
ReplyDeleteJane the Virgin? Ugh.
ReplyDeleteI'm not interested in Jane the Virgin either but I could hardly call a show 'terrible' without actually seeing any of it first.
ReplyDeleteI'm interested in iZombie and The Messengers (although I can't remember what that's about at the moment).
ReplyDeleteNo surprises here. I'll be tuning in for iZombie and Flash and I'll probably give The Messengers a trial run.
ReplyDeleteReally excited for The Flash, iZombie, and The Messengers!
ReplyDeleteI think The Messengers is alien drama.
ReplyDeleteHappy for IZombie The Flash and The Messengers but Jane The Virgin not so much could have kept The Tomorrow People wonder is they going to pick up Dorothy Must Die read the book it was a good read kinds wish they have a show where the women is a super hero

ReplyDeleteJane The Virgin is the odd man out here. Pair it in Mondays or Fridays with Reign?
ReplyDeleteIt Is About A Mysterious Object Comes Crashing Down To Earth And Kills A Group Of Unconnected Strangers Then They Awaken Angels Of They Upcoming Apocalypse.
ReplyDeleteYou're right. I'm letting my emotions get the better of me, for which I apologize. For whoever wanted this to be picked up, it's nice. It doesn't appeal to me though as it doesn't sound interesting.
ReplyDeleteAh, now I remember. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteSo, the pilots deadline called to have an advantage.
ReplyDeleteCW passed on Bloodlines: yes, something decent
CW orders Jane the Virgin: same old CW.
Finally some good news, Bloodlines was never going to work, good that they saw it before it made it to series.
ReplyDeleteI'm SO angry right now! Yay for The Messengers and The Flash, but REALLY?! Supernatural: Bloodlines AND The Tomorrow People?! They'd BETTER get him on Arrow Stat!!! I really still DO NOT CARE about Beauty And The Beast, never watched, WILL never watch, Ohhhh I'm So Livid right now!!!

I'll probably check out iZombie. Not at all interested in the others.
ReplyDeleteWhile im excited for the flash!!! STUPID for canceling Tomorrow People
ReplyDeleteIs this serious…this sounds funny…Honestly, hope not. I'm tired of apocalyptic tv shows.
ReplyDeleteJane The Virgin could be this year's Reign. I remember how everyone complained about Reign last year. It was actually a pretty good show and it managed to earn a second season.
ReplyDeleteMaybe not, but if The CW picked it over Bloodlines (basically an almost clone of The Originals) it can't be that horrendous.

ReplyDeleteGlad the Bloodlines-abomination is dead
ReplyDeleteIs that final, or just what they've picked up so far?
ReplyDeleteThat's it. The CW is done with renewals, cancellations, and new series orders.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Honestly I'm a bit surprised by their decision!
ReplyDeleteTTP wasn't without its problems too, especially the first two-thirds of the season.
ReplyDeleteCan someone tell me what The Messengers or Jane the Virgin are about? This is the first time I've even heard of those titles. Sucks about Bloodlines though as I was excited to see what a series could be about since the episode itself was jam-packed with ideas. Wonder if we'll be getting some kind of mini arc in season ten now to wrap up those storylines?
ReplyDeleteI was probably blinded by all the man-candy (Nathaniel, Sean Faris, Bryce Johnson + Jensen and Jared...) but I kind of liked it. It had major flaws plot wise, but nothing that couldn't be fixed.
ReplyDeleteI'm sad about TTP too, it will be missed. Hopefully Robbie Amell('s abs) can stick around and find a new show on The CW :)
maybe Robbie Arnell will join his cousin in Arrow? maybe a lost cousin, brother or something
ReplyDeleteNo surprise with Bloodlines.
ReplyDeleteIt was far too crappy to ever be picked up. I'm just so annoyed that the writers could ever have considered that pitiful effort a spin-off of Supernatural. They were too lazy to think up anything better and they deserved to flop!
This is just one more example of how incapable the SPN writers are.
Unfortunately Supernatural is still stuck with them and they are messing that up too.
I doubt even the charisma of Jared and Jensen can repair the damage being done to the show.
Sounds like it could be hilarious.
ReplyDeleteI think they would have had more success with Bloodlines if they had introduced the show as being it's own thing - a brand new show and not a spin-off. They marketed it as a Supernatural spin-off but it was nothing like Supernatural and didn't feel like part of the world we've come to know in the 9 years of Supernatural.
ReplyDeleteDon't worry, I'm sure I'll catch up to it later.
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure Jane the Virgin has only been picked up to offer to me as a sacrifice so I'll go easy on the other ones.
ReplyDeleteWell said, sir
ReplyDelete"You don't have to outrun the bear. You just have to outrun Jane the Virgin."
ReplyDeleteIn this case that's pretty accurate.
ReplyDeleteSo excited for The Flash.
ReplyDeleteI am glad they didn't pick up the Supernatural spin off, if they had done that episode differently, who knows? It sucked (pun intented)
ReplyDeleteI think it would have worked better if there hadn't been so many secondary/main characters. They should have kept it simple and focused on just two or three characters instead of introducing entire families of characters and their enemies.

Which are the ones that will start this fall (22 episodes)?
ReplyDeleteWe wont know until the upfront's on the 15th when they reveal their schedule.
ReplyDeleteWhen do we usually get Logos + First Picture + Sneak Peaks/Trialers from CW?
ReplyDeleteOh ok thank you :))
ReplyDeleteUpfronts on the 15th.
ReplyDeleteWe might get something for The Flash earlier though because the Arrow final is on the 14th.
Excited about iZombie and the Flash. Jane the virgin sounds ridiculous, but I might consider watching it if it turns out to be something funny, maybe Ugly Betty-style

ReplyDeleteThanks. Didnt they post logos + 1 photo on their web site right after they announced pick-ups?
ReplyDeleteNot that I've seen yet. Hopefully we'll get them early this time :)
ReplyDeleteI wonder if Kol will go to New Orleans now.
ReplyDeleteDoubtful. Julie for some reason seems to hate his character and I don't really understand why. She previously said that Kol was "too dark" for the show or some nonsense.
ReplyDeleteI don't think she knows what the heck she's talking about most of the time.
ReplyDeleteThanks!

ReplyDeleteIf The CW had any intelligence they'd quit making every fall show 22 episodes, and give a few a limit of 13 episodes regardless of when they premiere.
ReplyDeleteJulie Plec should lay off the drugs because she seems to be getting stupider by the interview. Klaus is too dark for the show if anything.
ReplyDeleteRight? At first it sounded terrible, but if it can replace HoD as Comedy on the CW, im here for it. Let just wait for trailer or something
ReplyDeleteI agree! The only thing that borders me is the title. It's like she is cursed or sick or something. Better just call it Jane or The life of Jane but not Jane the Virgin.
ReplyDeleteI believe they mentioned at the TCA's that they want to explore more limited series. So some of these might be 13 episode orders.
ReplyDeleteOh I hope so. And I enjoy The 100 but I really hope it's only a 13-episode order for season two.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sorry about Bloodlines. I thought it was pretty weak with forgettable characters. I'm excited to check out The Flash, though.
ReplyDeleteShe said last summer/fall when they were promoting the show that we might get to see Kol in flashbacks and that has not happened at all. We got two seconds of him daggered on the boat in 1x01 and that was it.
ReplyDeleteNow julie will send him to oblivion permanently in TVD season finale!!
ReplyDeleteNo surprise Bloodlines was not picked up, it was awful, sorry.
ReplyDeleteJane the Virgin, really? Not a show I'm interested in, but it might appeal to some viewers.
Thank goodness they didn't pick up Bloodlines.
ReplyDeleteBloodlines sure were a disappointment, they could do so much more within the SPN universe, but this felt to close to The Originals, but in Chicago instead of New Orleans. But at the same time, Supernatural is not that much withut Sam and dean. So i am a bit sad, but not surprised at all.
ReplyDeleteor with Hart of Dixie if one of the two isn't held until midseason.
ReplyDeleteSo does this mean that we can have Nathaniel Buzolic on The Originals now?
ReplyDeleteAt least the did THIS right. No more Supernatural/The Originals(the worst possible version), Next year try a spin off of Bobby, Rufus or even Samuel Colt...THAT will be a great show.
ReplyDeleteI wish they hadn't wasted a whole episode of Supernatural on that other show.
ReplyDeleteThey didn't. They added an extra episode for the potential spinoff. Viewers are getting the same 22 episodes that were ordered before the season started.
ReplyDeleteBoth season 7 and 8 also had 23 episodes and not one of those were wasted on a spin off show.
ReplyDeleteI'm actually kind of glad that Bloodlines wasn't picked up.

ReplyDeleteMaybe if they had used characters we knew or even actors that had been on SPN. I am glad it is not going to live.
ReplyDeleteHow long could a series like JTV last? As AnnoDomini said below, it sounds horrendous!
ReplyDeleteYep! And it even screwed w/established canon. I don't know what they were thinking trying to pass off that show as a Supernatural spin off.
ReplyDeleteDo you think MBFWB was a "undercover" pilot? I've often wondered about that b/c that episode seemed like the setup for a show.
ReplyDeleteIf it's anything like HoD then it could last 4 seasons (provided it's not DoA).
ReplyDeleteOn paper HoD's concept sounded terrible, but they did it well on a budget and it cruised along to a 4th season. In theory...JTV could do the same.
Darn. I was interested in Identity and that was about it for this network. Oh well, it probably didn't help that Orci and Kurtzman announced that they might be going separate ways in the future...
ReplyDeleteNo surprise Bloodlines wasn't picked up. Boring pilot
ReplyDeleteHaha . . . . what is HoD?
ReplyDeleteRelieved that Bloodlines was given a pass. It just didn't do it for me. There are so many other things in the SPN universe that I would rather see as a spin off (MoL, Knights of Hell, Samuel Colt, etc).
ReplyDeleteHart of Dixie
ReplyDeleteWhat was Jane the Virgin again?
ReplyDeletethank you CW for passing on Bloodlines that SUCKED! no Heart too it at all. You know at least SPN had heart and you cared about the Guys well intell pick a season mine is season 7 They killed Bobby then it lost its heart but we still care right?
ReplyDeleteLOl Jane teh Virgin .. Im gonaa watch it i wanna see what they do to that...
ReplyDeleteThe Flash AWESOME!
WOAO they passed on Bloodlines i thouth that was a sure thing
The Messengers sounds like a good midseason show
Izombie will take Reign spot next season!
Bloodlines was terrible. Word of advice: if you want SPN fans to care about the spin-off, then you should not have it ignore SPN canon, make Sam & Dean look dumb to give the new characters moments, and definitely not give Sam & Dean 3 minutes on screen in their own damn series.
ReplyDeleteFlash should be good. I liked all of the characters that have been introduced on Arrow.
iZombie sounds like Tru Calling. Not much new there other than being a zombie.
The Messengers sounds interesting. As long as there are no love triangles (which was part of the reason I quit watching The Tomorrow People.
Jane the Virgin will bomb. Maybe it would have been successful in the One Tree Hill/90210/Gossip Girl era, but now its the era of genre shows.
I'm looking forward to seeing some promos for iZombie. Love Rose McIver as Tink on Once Upon a Time. Will miss Tink, but glad the actress got a whole series to show off her talent.
ReplyDeleteThe CW has become the only channel I watch live.... Supernatural, The 100, and The Tomorrow People.
ReplyDeleteI'm very disappointed now...
Lets hope crossovers The Flash/The Arrow
ReplyDeleteWill The Messengers be mid season series?
ReplyDeleteI wonder if they are planning any spin offs for next year too
ReplyDeleteI wouldnt mind if they introduced a new superhero in Flash+Arrow and it would get its own new show
Supernatural is the only show I watch live, am going to miss TTP(really just miss John).
ReplyDeleteLive? Um no... by the time the are aired on tv they've been filmed already for at least weeks, if not months.
ReplyDeleteYou must be fun at parties.
ReplyDeleteDUH
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised they passed on Bloodlines.
ReplyDeleteWhat??? Does that mean that they AREN'T REAL? My life has been a lie!
ReplyDeleteJane The Virgin sounds awful but nothing could have saved TTP.
ReplyDeleteSupposedly we might get 2.
ReplyDeleteAt cons, people have asked the Arrow production team about Amazon. They keep telling people it's not as dead as it seems, and it's being retooled. The general theory is that they wanna take the same approach as Flash (multiple episode arc) rather then just introduce Wonder Woman in a brand new show (like originally planned).
Meanwhile, Syfy ordered a script for a Booster Gold show by the same production team as Arrow. It's still unconfirmed if it will be set in the Arrow Universe, but considering it's by the same team...I want to believe.
Same here. I'm very excited about The Flash and iZombie. I think Messengers could be good but I'll wait for the trailer. They messed up the concept of TTP so they could mess up The Messengers too.
ReplyDeleteI have 0 interest in Jane but If it's a dramedy like HoD it could work.
ReplyDeleteThat's pretty much what I'm hoping it'll be.
ReplyDeleteSomething in the style of HoD and Ugly Betty.
I wonder if the actor did something to piss her off (he seems to be a cool guy but this is Plec) because she seems to really hate the character for no logical reason. Klaus is the darkest character so her reason is nonsense. She also said Kol was a soulless killer like her siblings have never done anything evil or wrong.
ReplyDeleteTTP's concept was messed up. The entire first season deviated from the premise of the original series. The season was like watching a prequel and we'd all have to wait for season two for things to get where they should be. That was really bad creative strategy, IMO.
ReplyDeleteI'd rather they spin-off Black Canary (Sara) into her own show. She already has a built-in supporting cast in Arrow, with Nyssa and Sin.
ReplyDeleteWatching a tv show live means watching it while it's happening, like Saturday Night Live.
ReplyDeleteJane the virtgin? seriously? the telenovela was bad enouugh, it's a sure flop, wth possessed them to pick that up?
ReplyDeleteNO, that is watching a live TV show, watching one when it is airing is watching it live.
ReplyDeleteTake this as an opportunity to learn something. Correcting people the way you just did won't get you anywhere in life. Most likely they're just going to assume that you're autistic and move on.
ReplyDeletelol
ReplyDeletelo
ReplyDelete"Hopefully we'll see Nathaniel Buzolic again on TVD or The Originals, he's a truly great actor." I Second that, Kol is a great character. Hope Nathaniel get a stint on The Orginals.
ReplyDeletehe created Kol & Finn because she had to (as Elijah had told Elena that his mother had 7 children and 2 of them died before they were turned into vampires) but she never really cared about them the way she did Elijah, Klaus and Rebekah. Finn's sole purpose was to demonstrate that when an Original died their bloodline died along with them. Kol was just there - and she killed him off in a totally unbelievable way because she didn't want to have to deal with him on the spin-off.
ReplyDeleteI give JtV three episodes before it's pulled.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad they didn't pick up Bloodlines,
ReplyDeleteMay 15th
ReplyDeleteThe fanbase was not a fan.
ReplyDeleteNow that I would totally watch
ReplyDeletecheers
ReplyDeleteis Izombie good
ReplyDeleteSo Kol resurrection on The Originals then?
ReplyDeleteNot surprised, according to all the people's opinions I heard, Bloodlines was never gonna make it.
ReplyDeleteum, no, it was always announced that it was going to be a 23 episode season, just like last season was and the season before. It's been 23 episodes a season since season 7. It wasn't suddenly 23 episodes this season so that they could fit in "Bloodlines." They burned an episode of the show for this lame spin off.
ReplyDeleteWTF ? No Bloodlines? IDIOTS
ReplyDeleteWe won't know till May 15th, but what I am guessing is the schedule will look like this
ReplyDeleteMonday
8: The Flash*
9: Supernatural
Tuesday
8: The Originals
9: Reign
Wednesday
8: Arrow
9: The 100
Thursday
8: The Vampire Diaries
9: iZombie*
Friday
8: ANTM/Beauty And The Beast
9: Hart of Dixie/ WLIIA?
Mid-season-
The Messengers
Jane The Virgin
I thought the same thing with Bitten, they should have just stayed at 22.
ReplyDeleteWhat makes you say that? From what I've seen, most SPNers were indifferent to it.
ReplyDeleteLOL :-)
ReplyDeleteIt just sounds so stupid. This was a telenovela so it was limited. In America, the idea is to drag everything out way past its due date. I can't see this concept lasting multiple seasons.
Ahhh.....never watched it. It it just seems like this girl would ave her baby and then that would be the end of the story. I just don't see how they could drag this out multiple seasons.
ReplyDeleteThe whole telenovela aspect, and Jane enjoying telenovelas makes me think the series would be better if it were in a meta fashion as in, Jane views everything as a telenovela after her world is turned upside down with her becoming pregnant now. Gosh dang, I didn't realize I had better ideas than a lot of these writers….haha.
ReplyDeleteso what? I actually loved the spinnoff
