Amentep Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 They probably only really need 4-5 to cut syndication deals... I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man
ShadySands Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 I finally watched the first 2 episodes of Agents of SHIELD and I really don't see it lasting even if they can pull out a cameo every week 1 Free games updated 3/4/21
Raithe Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 I remember hearing that it's getting a 5th season is the really big deal for syndication. Getting to that 100th episode is a really big thing... Agents of Shield kind of reminds me of The Man From Uncle in a way. It has that vibe of cheesy fun in general, but everyone on screen acting as if it's deadly serious even if they know its total pulp silly. If they can settle the characters down over the next few episodes and maybe start revealing some of those hidden hooks rather then keep laying out little bits of mystery, I can see them getting another season fairly easily. Hm, I've realised I've got the whole first season of Revolution stashed away to watch but haven't done that yet. Might make some time to make a start on that over the weekend and see how that shaped up. "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."

BruceVC Posted October 5, 2013 Posted October 5, 2013 I finally watched the first 2 episodes of Agents of SHIELD and I really don't see it lasting even if they can pull out a cameo every week I watched the first episode and the best word to describe it is "meh" The reality for me is there are just far too many excellent series on like Sons of Anarchy, The Newsroom, Boardwalk Empire and True Blood to spend time watching something that is mediocre "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived. It is what difference we have made to the lives of others that will determine the significance of the life we lead" - Nelson Mandela

Hiro Protagonist Posted October 8, 2013 Posted October 8, 2013 Have been watching Strike Back over the last week or so and halfway through Season 3 at the moment. Awesome show. Interestingly, this series started at Season 2 in the U.S. and is referred to as Season 1 in America. Mainly because Cinemax didn't have the rights to the original Season 1 at the time. And Season 1 will be titled Strike Back: Origins when it eventually airs in the U.S. I'd suggest starting at the original Season 1 (as per imdb) because the start of Season 2 has a huge spoiler for the main character from Season 1.

Amentep Posted October 8, 2013 Posted October 8, 2013 Sleepy Hollow - more backstory, a bigger part of the "founding father conspiracy" angle is shown, and a lot of backstory development of Lieutenant Mills and her sister (I'm surprised how much of a backseat Crane took).

Raithe Posted October 8, 2013 Posted October 8, 2013 Trying to get an overview of Boostrap, but my internet connection keeps dying. Which is somewhat annoying. Also, might have to bathe the cat.

Walsingham Posted October 8, 2013 Posted October 8, 2013 Yet again, I would urge the honourable member to sell said feline to passing gypsies.

So the first season is on DVD under Chris Ryan's Strike Back but will be called Stike Back: Origins on TV in the U.S. But yeah. For anyone who is interested in watching this awesome show, watch the UK 1st season first. Not the American 1st season which is really the second season. Edited October 9, 2013 by Hiro Protagonist

Of which note for the ladies, Prince Broody McBroodypants from the Hobbit is in Strike Back. Which is apparently one of the reasons that series has a high percentage of female viewers over here in the UK. Ever since Richard Armitage did that North & South he seems to have become the serious heart throb of most of the women I know. "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."
