drat, not even a full season. It's going to wrap production after episode 9.

It was cancelled already? Goddammit!

Maybe move the show to not-up-against-football day and time, and see how it does.

It's not officially canceled yet, they just aren't going to make any more episodes than 9. While that doesn't bode well it is still in the realm of possibility that the show could be renewed.

Snipes is awesome. I hope he has a fight scene every episode.

I'm pleasantly lost in following the meta-plot. Snipes seemed to be the Bad Guy and sinister, but now he's helping find the wife. And Cassandra's much more friendly but has a Hidden Past. And was it Cassandra who hit him with the car in episode 1?

I mean, I'm pretty sure we're *supposed* too be lost with that plot, and they're doing a good job of subverting allies and enemies.

I think last night's episode was the first time it was mentioned that Mr. Johnson also used to be a Player.

Yeah. I'm actually surprised how much we've learned about him (and to a lesser extent Cassandra) at this point in the show.

I hope all the remaining episodes end with Wesley Snipes kung-fu-ing somebody.

The House/Gamblers are the main bad people, so Cassandra and Mr. Johnson are kind of bad, since they work for The House, but it appears they may not have a lot of choice in the matter. There is a rapport growing between them and Alex because they work together so much and also because having all the characters in your tv show be cold with each other isn't entertaining. Cassandra especially cares about Alex, possibly because of whatever connection she has to Ginny.

Mr. Johnson is "helping" Alex find his wife most likely to keep him content and stay on top of what he knows and what he doesn't. Remember he had that computer geek friend change all that information he got off that memory chip Alex gave him to investigate? I would not be at all surprised if The House is somehow involved with Ginny's faked death.

It's also pretty obvious The Players are scouted and pushed toward situations where they'd both meet Cassandra and Mr. Johnson and agree to play.

Ugh... the stories are getting so much deeper and more interesting. Including Johnson that much more has just made the show infinitely better. This is killing me.

Shows like this are why I work so hard to convince myself I like mediocre, safe procedurals like NCIS NOLA that are going to outlive us all. :sigh:

Yeah, similarly I also like Hawaii five-0 although that may end after this 6th season. And the Blacklist.

And i'm enjoying Blindspot well enough and that's doing well but it's not as good as this.

Is there a way to tell if an instagram account's verified? Because if it is, Philip Winchester just confirmed on his that it's cancelled. I guess they're just waiting till the episode is done airing to make it official.

It's effectively cancelled given how poor the ratings were and NBC stopping production basically. It's probably not coming back, along with all other shows that had their episode orders trimmed in the fall.

another game at nationwide arena. everybody keeps asking me if they can fuck the cannon. buddy, they don't even let me fuck it

Like I said, I hope somebody like TNT comes to the rescue. I don't pay enough attention to TV to know how often it happens, but it did with Southland. I've been impressed with this show given I figured it'd be cheesy and terrible before I saw the pilot.

e- Cassandra with the Lara Croft look is hot.

Who's ready for a lovely sitcom starring Amy Poehler, Chris Kattan, and Darrell Hammond to go in that time slot, followed by Chicago O'Hare TSA with Kenan Thompson and Tina Fey? :argh:

e- Sure would've liked to have known what those guns were for...

I found that funnier than anything. Cassandra owned the interrogation scene.

I'll never get tired of seeing Snipes schooling people in a fight.

It's a drat shame that this show is ending. Such a good ride every week and I'm interested in the Jenny conspiracy obviously.

Also, there's only two women on tv that are so perfect that I'm in awe. The actress for Cassandra is one and danelia ruah from NCIS LA is the other one. Goddamn.

It felt like it ended certain aspects on an okay note but left it open-ended, which is fine.

Also don't know the chances of someone else picking it up because I think it's like a joint NBC/Sony production? Too bad, cause this was a fun action show for whatever budget these shows normally get.

I guess Winchester can now guest star on Blindspot or something now, I guess.

But Blindspot lost my interest/attention several week's ago. I have a month's worth of episodes sitting on the DVR.
