- *Buys $100 cap* -- nm - Spawn Sep 24, 11:57
- Even better, don't even play him again. Everybody expects his last games to be played only to see he isn't out there. At $300 a ticket. -- nm - budice Sep 24, 11:55
from bbs: Meg, thanks for the cruise info. -- per trip vs day is pretty danged good, but I can see how those extras add up. Dano, re: "Forever" - b. Sep 24, 11:51 6
- I guess that's true. Is there really any sense of tension that a show will kill off its clearly lead character anyway? - Dano Sep 24, 11:55 5
  - yah, that's usually the case. it almoast always seems a lazy choice to me. -- nm - b. Sep 24, 12:06
  - Hi there! -- nm - George R R Martin Sep 24, 11:57 3
    - Is there really one absolutely central character on the show? I assumed it was an ensemble. -- nm - Dano Sep 24, 11:58 2
      - It is an ensemble but... (season 1 spoils) - Was Bar Was Sep 24, 12:03 1
        
        that's the one that stood out to me, more than the others. -- nm - b. Sep 24, 12:05

Meanwhile, in the Canadian House of Commons' Question Period: -- (link) - Reagen Sep 24, 11:28 6
- damn, I can't listen to that conservative MP any more than I can listen to Harper. Five seconds is the upper maximum before the TURN IT OFF instinct. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 24, 11:41 2
  - That's because you hate Israel, who are on the FRONT LINES of terror - that guy's response to anything, apparently Sep 24, 11:50
  - No wonder it seems like they can get away with anything. It's like political stealth mode. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 24, 11:42
- something about the lighting makes it look like an SNL cold opening. -- nm - Max Sep 24, 11:32

- Where are you logging in at? The login screen? -- nm - Beryllium Sep 24, 11:36 5
  - Tried the one in the post line, as well as clicking the log-in link on the left. -- nm - Spawn Sep 24, 11:46
  - If you try one of the other domains (e.g., removing or adding "www" in the URL) maybe that might get it working? - Beryllium Sep 24, 11:39 3
    - I use a Droid. There is no flow, I try to log in, it says "Authorization failed"! -- nm - Spawn Sep 24, 11:49 2
      - Like, if you're logging in while doing a post at the same time, I know that can cause some weirdness -- nm - Beryllium Sep 24, 11:51 1
        
        See above. -- nm - Spawn Sep 24, 11:57
- Yeah I couldn't post either -- nm - Remlik Sep 24, 11:33 1

        cool -its underrated. I thought it obscure enough that when I found out SM had it in his truck when we met - that it was a *sign* - Epiphany Sep 24, 11:33

  - Good luck with that. -- nm - Volnelk Sep 24, 11:44

Ender from B2: No, I didn't see SHIELD past the first third, same as most . Hunting nailed it - They failed, lost the bulk of viewers & can't recover -- nm - MDH Sep 24, 10:26 20
- I disagree. I think it's got an engaged fan base that makes up for it not having a large fan base. Networks - TWuG Sep 24, 11:10 3

    - "They know we're brothers, right?" -- nm - David Sep 24, 11:14 1
      - " I don't think they care" - Epiphany Sep 24, 11:34
- Its not going anywhere based on last nights numbers. When the numbers adjust later, itll pop up to a 2.0 or 2.1. Plus of course its down from - Jovian Sep 24, 10:44
- Since it's a show that will not be canceled, they have plenty of time to attract viewers. - David Sep 24, 10:29 14
  - SHIELD is 100% a show that can be cancelled. ABC was having big conversations as to make it a limited series. - MDH Sep 24, 10:30 13
    - it won't be canceled. But I think the adjustment you mentioned is VERY possible and I think we'll see that this year actually. -- nm - Remlik Sep 24, 10:55
    - No, it can't be canceled because they're all in on Marvel. The entire season of AoS/Agent Carter is already planned out. -- nm - David Sep 24, 10:53 2
      - Cancelled, not renewed come next May. - Will Hunting Sep 24, 11:05 1
        
        You're reading a lot into a show finished at 5.45 last year and starting with 5.60 this year. -- nm - David Sep 24, 11:09
    - So you don't actually mean "Boring first season", you mean "Boring 7 episodes...\ -- nm - Ender Sep 24, 10:36 8
      - It's 2014...7 episodes is enough to kill a show. In 7 episodes, it went from a 4.8 demo to a 2.3 demo. - Will Hunting Sep 24, 10:45 5
        
        And yet it did well enough for them to renew it. Movies driving people to TV is the tail wagging the dog. - Ender Sep 24, 10:51 4
        
        "Basically free to produce" couldn;t be further from the truth. It's one of/if not the most expensive network show right now. -- nm - MDH Sep 24, 11:17
        
        Let's not confuse a renewal with doing well. - Will Hunting Sep 24, 11:03
        
        Shield has settled into ratings similar to Castle and Castle's going on S7 for ABC without the massive synergy. -- nm - Ender Sep 24, 10:56 1
        
        Castle is also already syndicated... -- nm - MDH Sep 24, 11:20
      - It doesn't matter the number of episodes. A small number kept with it, but the millions that left did so b/c it was boring. 6 week trial run fails - MDH Sep 24, 10:42
      - Joss is gonna make the Angel model work on network TV even if it *kills* him. -- nm - Reagen Sep 24, 10:41

  - This might be the first year in I don't know how long that I didn't go to Wrigley to watch a game -- nm - oblique Sep 24, 11:03
