That's a kick ass billboard!


So...are they done with the alternaverse for a while you think? I kind of think they will be for a little while...maybe til the finale. And I'll go further. I hope they do take a small break.

From what I heard, the entire season was supposed to go back and forth, every other episode. And I also remember reading somewhere that this weeks will take place in the past, I think from Walternate's POV shortly after shota Peter was taken.

NBC has canceled Chase & The Cape.

10 episodes of The Cape have already been wrapped, so they will continue to air those (this Monday is episode 6) until The Event returns March 7th.

Guess I'm glad that I never got into Chase, even though the couple of episodes I saw were pretty good.

As far as The Cape...the Summer Glau Curse strikes again.

Chase was really good. I blame #1 Monday nights vs Castle & Hawaii 5-0 for the initial downfall, and #2 moving to Wednesday night without any promotion informing viewers as the final nail in the coffin. Also competing with Human Target on the move to Wednesday had FAIL written all over it.

FX's The League (excellent comedy, highly recommended) has been renewed for a 3rd season.

I can't imagine myself ever caring about any fantasy league ever...so I am completely uninterested in watching this...

..all that said, it has a great cast, looks hilariously funny, and gets great reviews. So I'm glad. It's just not for me.

I watch 4-5 football games a year, and have zero interest in fantasy football. The League has almost zero to do with football, it's merely the catalyst for comedy. They talk about players maybe 15% of the time - and I usually never know who they are discussing, but that isn't the point. You might as well say you have no interest in magicians, building houses or banana stands, so you have no interest in watching Arrested Development.

I wish people would give shows more of a chance than what the commercials appear to be. AB passed on Lights Out, another excelent show on FX, because she doesn't like boxing. Meanwhile, the show is about an ex-heavyweight champ who is dealing with life after retirement. They show about 5 minutes of boxing in a typical 1 hour episode.

Not sure where to stick this so I'll stick it here:

Kiefer Sutherland is mulling a return to prime time with another Fox series.

The 24 star is in negotiations to topline Touch, a drama pilot from Heroes creator Tim Kring. Produced, like 24, by 20th Century Fox TV, Touch centers on a father (the role Sutherland has been offered) who discovers that his autistic, mute son can predict events before they happen.

Kring wrote the project on spec, his first pilot script since Heroes. Charles McDougall, who has helmed the pilots for ABC’s Desperate Housewives, CBS’ The Good Wife and, most recently, Fox’s The Chicago Code, is in talks to direct.

The Biggest Loser.

Also news of note - Syfy has purchased the rights to all 31 episodes of sadly-canceled Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, which they will be airing 4-episodes every Thursday night starting April 7. Yes, I said 4 hours of Summer Glau.
