Given, I have an idactic(photographic) memory, but so does he. It also pisses me off that this show uses the wrong word for our mental condition.

Firstly the very existence of it is highly questionable, secondly you don't even know how to spell it.

Basebf555 posted:Yea I mean I've watched Supernatural for a long time now and I've never even met someone else who watches it in real life. I wouldn't even be aware that there were crazy fans out there if not for SA talking about it. I'm almost 30 years old and I have a job and everything, I pretty much just watch the show and that's the end of it. What other fans are doing doesn't really ever enter my mind. "Look, I may be a fan, but I'm not stupid." "It's real." "I knew it!" The show itself brings the shippers up, even the bro-cest stuff. "Do they know we're brothers?" "That doesn't seem to matter."

This is gonna be a long three weeks. Things I want to find out is what Katrina is hiding from Crane, why Abbie, not Jenny is the second witness even though both of them are being spooked by Moloch, and if we'll have a shopping scene with Abbie and Ichabod with the latter getting lost inside a Wal-Mart.

Tom Tucker posted:I thought for sure the flowers were some sort of anti-black-death herb based only on how long they showed her awkwardly avoiding eye contact with that girl. Actually it was the same flower Crane talked about earlier that shivers up for days at human touch. But the one the girl holds looks completely fine (since she's actually dead  ). I thought that was a pretty cool little detail.

El Tortuga posted:Not to bring the fandom back up, but you either ship IchLanda, or you get the gently caress out. Amen. Things I want: * some more ghost sheriff visits. I love me some threatening, authoritarian Clancy Brown, but this kindly, fatherly Clancy Brown is nice, too. More sheriff voiceovers, too.  (<--literally  )* more moments of Crane boggling at 21st century progress per episode. I can understand why the show doesn't want to lean too hard on that and make it tiresome, but at the same time, most of the fun of using the character of a resurrected Ichabod Crane as your guide to the apocalypse instead of some random visionary is the fish-out-of-time/water, so you might as well milk that for all its worth. * more Jenny. * more for Katrina to do than just stand in foggy glades looking wistful and cryptic.

What guarantee do we have that Katrina is right about Ichabod being the first witness, though? She could easily be misinterpreting the passage in Revelation. Although I guess it's possible that Ichabod and Abby are the witnesses and Jenny is someone else. There is a woman in Revelation who gives birth to a son "destined to rule all the nations with an iron rod" and then they are chased by Satan (as a dragon) for years before Michael and the archangels kill the dragon and his buddies.

Sometimes you're surprised when you find out someone was on another show you watched. This was one of those times.  No surprise though. Everything that surrounds Quinn is forgettable. Lets hope her role here ends up much better. As though it hasn't already. e. Replaced image. BreakAtmo fucked around with this message at 14:04 on Oct 19, 2013 |

OK, this is odd - the image does appear broken when I look at the thread on the Awful app, but I just looked on my PC and it's just fine. What would cause that? e.

I keep seeing Sleepy Hollow being mentioned in reference to "new broadcast strategies" since they are doing a 13 episode season like on AMC. Is it getting 13 eps because of some forward thinking strategy or because Fox is just throwing Hail Marys left and right?

Josh Lyman posted:I think they're supposed to get a full order next season, so my guess it's part of some larger strategy to eventually replace American Idol and X Factor. No, next year is only 13 episodes. I think the idea may have something to do with the fact that Kevin Bacon doesn't want to do full 22-episode seasons of The Following, so they're looking for something to trade off with it.

Josh Lyman posted:Isn't The Following a flaming dumpster fire though? Well yes, but it's a flaming dumpster fire that people watch. The finale pulled a 2.7 in the 18-49 demo (already solid in this day and age); after DVR increases, which is apparently becoming a major network strategy these days, that number inflates to a 4.1. So it's a hit, to be sure.

I have no problem with 13 episode seasons for any network show if two things happen: 1) we get the quality pound for pound that we do with the short seasoned British and cable shows who have done this for years 2) we get more new shows ie instead of 1 show in a timeslot in the fall, stretched to end in April or May, we get a fairly straight shot of 13 eps then a new show premiering in Jan or Feb, and maybe even a 3rd show in the summer Shows back in the 50s and 60s would do 30+ episodes a season, so you ran from Sept-May with mostly new episodes, then just a few weeks of repeats in the summer. Then they pared it down to the low 20s, now less and less but they are still in that "new Fall Season, summer repeats" dynamic. And a show with 19 or 20 episodes is stretched out to last all that time with repeats, pre-emptions for holidays and special programmings, etc. We have seen more mid season replacements in recent years, but I'd love to see more different series of shorter runs all year. Of course as long as a repeat of Big Bang Theory or Modern Family will pull in higher numbers than most replacement shows in it's spot, it behooves the networks to run those same 20 episodes for 40 weeks a year. So there's a lot of inertia to overcome. Edit: I write post.

I think I remember reading that the show creators had the option of either a "full season" order (22 eps or whatever) or fewer eps and an instant renewal for a 2nd season, and they went for instant renewal.
