TV Thread - beware, [expletive] can get spoilery

Enough with the cancellation whining. You should be ecstatic Tim Allen's "Last Man Standing" is making a comeback. What else matters?

I forgot that Agents of Shield was a thing.

Brooklyn Nine-Nine got canceled and that is a bummer.

NBC has picked it up

And The Expanse today, though it sounds like the production company intends to shop it around. Not sure if they'd pick up the Expanse - it's expensive given the ratings - though they've supposedly planned to focus on sci-fi. Amazon carries the previous seasons, but I've read that they don't like to do pre-existing shows.

One problem was Syfy doesn't let you stream the shows the night-of, their streaming service is on a 24 hour delay. Also Syfy only got first-run access to the Expanse, but I don't think they get access to any of the revenue from international streaming.

The show is of such quality that it should end up getting picked up by Netflix or Amazon. Netflix was willing to bankroll the entire production of Star Trek: Discovery for its international rights, and so far I'd peg DSC as being probably a third of the quality of The Expanse. It should be able to do more than the 500,000 cable viewers it's been receiving on Syfy's ratings - 'tis basically Game of Thrones in space. It's not that niche. Maybe it was simply too good for Syfy and not cornball enough. I suspect a lot of mainstream audiences probably balk at the idea of tuning into anything on Syfy.

CBS renewed four series and canceled three more as it prepares to announce its 2018-19 schedule Wednesday.

Criminal Minds, Elementary, Man With a Plan, Life in Pieces and Instinct, a midseason drama starring Alan Cumming, were all given greenlights for new seasons.

The network also added several new series, including a remake of Magnum, P.I.

Kind of surprised that Elementary made the cut; since they started the season so late this year. I thought they might have been on their swan song.

Kevin Can Wait, Scorpions, and Superior Donuts all getting cancelled. I liked Scorpions but they did kind of derail a bit lately; Superior Donuts was an amusing show; I will miss that one.

Seven Seconds is pretty good. Not great but good. Dragging it out with the series aspect. Could have just been a movie.

Hooked into it though.

I think she's William's flesh and blood daughter who hates him and blames him for her mother's suicide.

Since they've reveled that the park is in fact a way to help the wealthy live forever in the Hosts, I wonder which of the wealthy real-life people was implanted in Dolores. I feel like that has to be a reveal that's coming. She was Arnold and Ford's beta, maybe the first host built. Who from a point in the Westworld timeline earlier than what we've seen so far is inside Dolores?

Age wise, the actress is 37, so perfect fit for the timeline. I suppose the person in the tub could be someone else, or it could be she did both, or tried two different ways at different times
