That sounds like a streaming service. I should google that.... technologing is hard...)<br /><br />Apparently it's the classic lineup, BUT includes Crazy Jane, the cornerstone of the Grant Morrison run on Doom Patrol, aka, the best thing to happen to comics in the last ever. (argument to made in favor of Animal Man issue 5 - Coyote Gospel) <br /><br />It's not really clear to me how she can possibly gel into the classic version of the team, as the absence of 1.5 of the original team members was kid of the point of that phase, but I'm totally down to see how they do it.Mikey Heinrichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16053287699381988084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-83636526046755251072018-05-17T13:58:36.114-04:002018-05-17T13:58:36.114-04:00You're right, Thomas. And I think that I know ...You're right, Thomas. And I think that I know that intellectually speaking. As much as I hate to admit it, TV is still a business, and a goal of a business is to make money. There's all of these calculations that networks make that fans aren't privy to; they just see that their show is canceled. <br /><br />(And it certainly doesn't help that Lucifer is a DC property on a network that's being bought out by DC's main competitor. Hey, CW, I got a preposition for you...)<br /><br />I think the appeal of Twitter campaigns is that is an easy, quick way to make your voice heard in a sustained way. Not everyone necessarily has the means to donate money, but nearly everyone can write a quick tweet to a handful of executives. Or even if they can't, they can easily spread the word to other people who can.

In norma...Fangirl, I think this is a special case.<br /><br />In normal circumstances I think Fox would've renewed Lucy. But Fox is getting bought out, adding more football, etc etc etc... It's not normal circumstances.<br /><br />I think the deal is this:<br /><br />WB was <i>determined</i> to get Gotham to 100 episodes. It had 88. It's a somewhat valuable commodity that can be sold in syndication. Letting it end on 88 with a cliffhanger would have been economic suicide, and renewing it and possibly even taking a financial loss on Fox for only a season would be worth it long term.<br /><br />With Lucifer they need 1.5 seasons to the bare syndication minimum. Now that's a very heavy incentive to get it renewed (1.5 isn't a lot) but also... basically giving the show away for free for 1.5 years?<br /><br />I think Lucifer will be renewed. I'll eat crow if I'm wrong, but I don't see WB wasting three years on the show and failing to get it to syndication, especially after this cliffhanger. Ending it like this would be a black stain on their mark, not only Fox's.<br /><br />If you want my advice? Like, as a "veteran of the game" (been into the worrying business for 25 years...)? ;-)<br /><br />Forget twitter campaigns. Or well, do them if you like, but:<br /><br /><b>Raise money. Money matters. Money is all that matters to companies.</b><br /><br />Kickstart the shit out of this thing.Thomas Ijon Tichyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01401298696128080459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-88697708937703120492018-05-17T11:44:14.170-04:002018-05-17T11:44:14.170-04:00I'm currently writing the review for Lucifer&#...I'm currently writing the review for Lucifer's finale, and it's very hard. I had a feeling that the cancelation was coming due to ratings, but it still hurts, especially after these past two episodes were so fan-freaking-tastic. And while I am happy that Gotham was renewed and that hopefully it can end on a better note, IT HAD LOWER RATINGS THAN LUCIFER AND I'M SALTY. <br /><br />Ugh. I'm sorry. I know that I shouldn't necessarily pit shows against each other, I'm just frustrated at FOX.

I made no excuses for my loathing of some of the storylines this season, and knife-to-the-throat, the people in charge HAS to be able to do better.<br /><br />Lucifer, though. Yeah, I watched the finale. They realized they had it to the throat and <i>THEY FUCKING DELIVERED.</i> Over the years I hold it far weaker than Gotham, but these last two episodes far outshone its former sister show's recent fare and at last showed us its potential. <br /><br />I truly morn its cancellation. It has to get a fourth season. It just has to.Thomas Ijon Tichyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01401298696128080459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-77565729992002512172018-05-15T16:15:25.742-04:002018-05-15T16:15:25.742-04:00I'm happy about Gotham.

I can't believe we're covering this freaking many shows.<br /><br />While I'm glad that <i>Gotham</i> and probably <i>Agents</i> will get a final season to wind up their stories, it is absolutely infuriating that <i>Lucifer</i> has been cancelled after giving us the two best episodes they've ever done. In my opinion. If only they'd spread more of that out over the third season, the show wouldn't have been cancelled. Well, then again, Fox does shit like this.<br /><br />I can't believe I've never seen that photo of Jensen Ackles, Jared Padalecki and Misha Collins. :)<br />Billie Douxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17141769005175631213noreply@blogger.com
