  1. Even though I don't watch the show, after what happened in Winter Soldier, they'd be foolish to cancel Agents of SHIELD at this juncture.

    Also if Hannibal doesn't get renewed I'll be very cross. Same goes with The Mentalist, that show's my jam.

    I'm glad my guilty pleasure show, Grimm, got renewed.

    If any of you kinda phased out of watching The Simpsons in recent years, I'd recommend jumping back in. The past 2 or 3 seasons have been hilarious.

  2. After what happened with Firefly and Dollhouse, I'm willing to bet that Joss Whedon refused to do Agents of SHIELD unless they guaranteed him two seasons up front. Plus the tie-in.

    There really aren't any other shows not yet renewed that I'm deeply invested in. Maybe The Mentalist, but I lost track and stopped watching during my cross-country move this spring, so I honestly don't know if the revamp is working. Is it?

  3. Fingers crossed for Agents of SHIELD, and Hannibal. Mind Games really deserved to be cancelled. Yay for Brooklyn Nine nine and Arrow.
    Dracula is so bad ..but rumours say it still might have a chance. We'll see.

  4. I've been holding my breath for Dracula. It's so weird and I love it so much, although I think I'm one of a select few. Beautiful sets and exotic location makes it an expensive show, though.

  5. Concerning The Mentalist, I like Abbott and Wily as additions to the show. I didn't care for Abbott at first but they've introduced more facets to him that make him interesting to watch. Don't care much for Fischer. I get she's supposed to kinda be a more extreme Lisbon now but she doesn't mesh with anyone. Which I guess is supposed to be the point but it gets kind of annoying.

    As for the revamp itself, the show more or less feels the same. Take that for what you want. Probably the most interesting thing in the show right now is that since Jane doesn't really have a purpose or direction right now, he seems even more reckless. It's rather fun to watch.

  6. Sigh. Almost Human almost had it all -- a terrific lead, an interesting science fiction universe, and what did they do? They made it a procedural. They made it boring. Don't they know that sci-fi fans are all about the story? I'm all about the arc, people. Did they just not know their audience?

  7. It is too bad about Almost Human. I think they were just starting to introduce some arc-like elements (the wall...what's beyond the wall?), but took too long getting there.
    We need another show with Eomer, for sure.
    No word on Believe or Resurrection yet?
    Believe is getting redundant...but I really like the two leads - they have a really nice and believable (!) chemistry.
    Resurrection... one short season isn't enough, I think, to judge...again, the mystery is just getting going...

  8. Sooze -- news out today that NBC has pulled Believe and Crisis from its sweeps. That is almost enough for me turn them to red even without the official announcement.

    I am with you on Believe. While the stories fell into a pattern too quickly, the chemistry between Bo and her dad was simply lovely to watch. Oh well.

  9. So SVU gets another season..sort of cool. Now they can be a but less hit and miss than this season please?
    Sad about Surviving Jack. That was funny.
    Prayer circle for Hannibal and Agents of SHIELD.

  10. Prayer circle worked. Yay for Agents and Hannibal.

  11. So glad that Arrow, Grimm and Person of Interest got renewed as they're my top three series at the moment.
