        That they released a trailer of which 2/3s of which are an extended "Do you *mind*?" joke shows a lot of confidence. -- nm - Reagen Nov 3, 09:30 1
        
        My only problem so far is that if the armor is too tight, let some of his air out! -- nm - Spawn the Impaler Nov 3, 09:32

TVLine/Ausiello: Series Renewal Scorecard to Date -- (link) - budice Nov 3, 08:37 27
- The Cleveland Show: Essentially cancelled. Finally...also, Last Man on Earth looks terrible. -- nm - colin Nov 3, 09:07
- He's got Mindy Project as a sure thing.....I don't get that. 13 episodes and ratings that approach Univision? - Will Hunting Nov 3, 09:02 13
  - In situations like that, I presume the show's streaming revenue is excellent. -- nm - David Nov 3, 09:09 8
    - Yeah, I wonder what it's getting on Hulu and such, becuase the traditional metrics really stretch it; - Will Hunting Nov 3, 09:11 7
      - The other thing to consider is that four seasons means syndication, which incentivizes them to renew this year. - David Nov 3, 09:16 5
        
        Wikipedia says "In recent years, the bare minimum of episodes for off-network syndication has been set at 81, with the ideal minimum now set at 88" - mara Nov 3, 09:23 1
        
        Nikita was a recent one that only got 6 episodes in season 4, just to keep syndication potential. - David Nov 3, 09:26
        
        4 years of 22 episodes, right? They're going to come up short if they short the season, no? - Will Hunting Nov 3, 09:17 2
        
        80 episodes is what tvbythenumbers usually uses for syndication minimum -- nm - Beaker Nov 3, 09:22
        
        These days, it's four seasons rather than 88 episodes. Cougar Town was a good example of a show that earned benefit of the doubt this way. - David Nov 3, 09:22
      - Yeah, looks like this season is 15 episodes. - kelly Nov 3, 09:14
  - she sleeping with someone high up? -- nm - Pippy Turkey Stuffer Nov 3, 09:06 3
    - sexist.. -- nm - colin Nov 3, 09:09 2
      - I'd applaude the shit out of her for that. LOL. - Pippy Turkey Stuffer Nov 3, 09:12
      - Sitcomgate! It's about ethics on FOX! -- nm - Beryllium Nov 3, 09:11
- I am happy to see they expect Sleepy Hollow to be renewed. - Mel Profit Nov 3, 08:40 5
  - Skulls. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 3, 09:02 1
    - in big hermetically sealed glass jars. -- nm - Diva Nov 3, 09:18
  - strongly worded missives scripted by candlelight with a quill pen and a well of ink. Sealed of course with wax impressed with a signet ring. - Diva Nov 3, 08:48 1
    - but of course. just as any gentleman of quality would do. -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 3, 08:51
  - whatever it is, you get the interns to open the packages. -- nm - Reagen Nov 3, 08:41
- I can't believe the Blacklist has only two more episodes before a Fall break - Beaker Nov 3, 08:39 5
  - For a show I enjoyed so much it is odd how much I do not miss it. -- nm - Spawn the Impaler Nov 3, 08:40 4
    - This is how i feel about Sleepy Hollow enjoyed it last year but have not missed it this year -- nm - eag Nov 3, 08:43 1
      - *glove slap* -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 3, 09:01
    - loved season 1, this season has had good moments, but been a huge dropoff -- nm - Beaker Nov 3, 08:43 1
      - they seem to be throwing every piece of shit at the wall to see what sticks -- nm - Beaker Nov 3, 08:44
Was at the BIFA nominations this lunchtime. There were 2 Morriattys (sp?) in the room and we got 19 nominations in total. -- nm - LMS Nov 3, 08:33 3
- Congrats! Very nice! -- nm - Krusty Nov 3, 08:57
- great job! -- nm - spamlet Nov 3, 08:52
- awesome! -- nm - decline Nov 3, 08:34
IkaL5! - Spawn the Impaler Nov 3, 08:33 29
- That's the most coherent thing he's said in days. -- nm - Mop Nov 3, 08:53
- Since we can move around our cities, what is the optimal mix of resources? - spamlet Nov 3, 08:52 18
  - This is going to mess with me initially... - Mel Profit Nov 3, 09:03 13
    - yeah, I will miss the farms I've had since I started :( -- nm - Beaker Nov 3, 09:04 12
      - Yeah. *prays they get moved close to me* -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 3, 09:05 11
        
        I wonder how they will choose which servers to move inctives to? Also, do we know how many servers are moving to those two? -- nm - Spawn the Impaler Nov 3, 09:08 10
        
        wait...their moving Inactives as well? That would be...relieving. -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 3, 09:12 8
        
        Think they have to, right? The whole, "They paid for their ambrosia, so they must stay around thing?" - Spawn the Impaler Nov 3, 09:14 2
        
        but if they don't log into to move, how will they get placed? -- nm - Beaker Nov 3, 09:26 1
        
        Pretty sure I saw somewhere that if you do not choose, you are assigned. -- nm - Spawn the Impaler Nov 3, 09:28
        
        I'd imagine they'd want to bring people over who paid money. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 3, 09:13 4
        
        As I said, it is unfair that some people get to stay on their server. - Spawn the Impaler Nov 3, 09:15 3
        
        This would be great. -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 3, 09:16 2
        
        At least on UK, the first servers are being rewarded. - Spawn the Impaler Nov 3, 09:26 1
        
        I wonder where omikron is going...I figure we can get it started tonight at 6pm eastern. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 3, 09:28
        
        Wasn't it pretty much every server in the first 9? -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 3, 09:11
  - I am *so* disappointed to see we are merging into an old server. I so wanted to see forges on non-sulphur islands. -- nm - Spawn the Impaler Nov 3, 09:01
  - I have 10 core (1 floater) ... 3 marble, 3 wine, 2 sulfur, 2 crystal. - Will Hunting Nov 3, 08:59
  - I base mine on Wonders. 4 Dolphin Wonders with the colldown reduction Govt makes me wait 48 minutes before reusing. 6 Forge islands means no wait - Beaker Nov 3, 08:57 1
    - I was looking at Beta, and have yet to find an opitmal island cluster. - Spawn the Impaler Nov 3, 09:02
- He is just so damn annoying. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 3, 08:45 5
  - His problem is that he's trying to propose some complex concepts and his English just isn't good at all. -- nm - Mop Nov 3, 08:54 4
    - Yeah -- and really, if he's trying to tell our enemies we're going to A, they're just as likely to jump to B to get away from us. - Will Hunting Nov 3, 09:05
    - yup, and I'd wager most other Alliances will do what is best for them, regardless of what we tell them we are doing -- nm - Beaker Nov 3, 08:58 2
      - Agreed. I don't see anyone making a decision based on "Getting those darn Slackers!" -- nm - Mop Nov 3, 09:05 1
        
        If anything, given we're #2, they might want to avoid us...so it's a backfire. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 3, 09:06
- I just let it go. -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 3, 08:36
- .org or .com? -- nm - eag Nov 3, 08:36 1
  - org -- nm - Beaker Nov 3, 08:46

But seriously, a nutless monkey could do your job -- nm - Beaker Nov 3, 08:25 3
- As we were leaving the showing, when they credited Tom Cruise, the lady in front of us was like, "Oh my...I never recognized him!" I thought he was a - Will Hunting Nov 3, 08:47
- I'm the guy who does his job. You must be the other guy. -- nm - Max Nov 3, 08:28 1
