And the Next Cancelled Show is...

There was an audio, where 5 complains about "millennials on their phones" to Tegan and Adrik.

The Doctor's authority to know best is spotty.

Yeah I just don't buy that.

He's as guilty as any renegade time traveller of changing history on many worlds.

The number of times he has stopped invasions on Earth how do we know that wasn't actually what was meant to be?
 
In the new pilot, 10 years ago, and that one in Rome with the lava monsters, the Doctor "claims" that he can see when time and space derails... The thing is, is that Romana and Susan probably had the same Time/Space-Vision too, and either didn't use it, or were really subtle... Although that would explain all the screaming the first time Susan saw a Dalek, if she wasn't screaming about an RC dustbin, but instead a billion diverging futures of massomnimultigenocide, because without them, the Daleks never would have left Skaro.

I remember the Pompeii Episode...... I like the points you make. I'm just not that sold on that. After all the Doctor lies.

They made a big point of that during the reboot.
 
OK Now I'm getting into Timeless now that we had the watergate episode and such.

Yeah we're not told much of things during the show. How could Flynn have gotten those notebook of Lucy's from the future unless the machine can do that, maybe under unusual circumstances. I wonder if all that will be revealed and hope it is.

Rittenhouse seems a bit weird. If no one person knows what they are all trying to do aren't they all just fucking around in the dark and stumbling everywhere?

Flynn seems the luckiest bad guy ever he keeps escaping. Oh and has an endless supply of henchmen.

OK I just had a thought.

There's a standing rule that they can't go back twice to the same time period or they might risk meeting themselves but to fix that why can't a different crew go back to that point in time?

I mean how else will they fix the thing with Lucy and her sister?
 
Oh........ But I've heard of her before Timeless.
She played an attorney named Dana Scott ("Scottie"), one of Harvey Specter's ex-lovers, on the USA series "Suits". She was also a regular on a few other very short-lived shows, had one-off appearances on a bunch of shows, and used to be on "All My Children" in the late 90s.

When they have more pilots, sure.

But what the show has never figured out, is that you can't get the current version of Garcia Flynn by attacking different Garcia Flynns from different Timelines, and that it's super weird that each different version of Garcia keeps repeating his initial attack on the time team, because Rittenhouse keeps killing his family and leaving clues, tricking him into stealing the mothership to replay a series of necessary events.

You know that kind of makes sense...... Plus they are lousy shots....
 
yeah, that whole series is kinda a shit show if you try to apply logic to it. Time travel is a fun one-off event, but really doesn't hold up if you make it a recurring thing every week, and with two different groups somehow chasing each other. Look how bad the folks in Terminator effed up their timeline trying to do this: I don't think either side knows what the hell is going on anymore, who started it, or where/when to go to try and make it stop. they just keep chasing each other around and ruining the timeline, changing things all over the place, and cause/effect is long out the window. the war now exists because it exists...

OK I'm betting season 2 will be the final season of Timeless. It will end on a cliffhanger.
 
House of Cards canceled. Curious timing in light of recent events. I think I can comfortably say fuck Kevin Spacey.

I'm not so sure that it even without Kevin Spacey become a news item for the wrong reasons it would have run much longer. By all accounts last season wasn't crash hot and with the changes at the end there's probably not much further it go can

The original was 3 series of 4 eps each.
 
The second season was the best, seasons 1 and 5 are second best, 3-4 are unwatchable. But I loved the ending of season 5. I honestly wished we got two seasons with that storyline, just have Claire kill off Frank.

I think the show would have ended anyways, MAYBE a two season renewal but after it came out that Kevin Spacey tried to rape an underage guy 30 years ago... byebye.

thought one report is saying the cancellation decision was made a few months back.

However, the decision to conclude the show was made several months ago, according to a person with knowledge of the situation who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorised to discuss the decision.

though if they wanted to knock Frank off and have Spacey off the series ASAP I'm sure they could find a way.

Was there ever any indication this was the case when that decision was allegedly made? I don't recall.

I can see how lots of people in the LGBTQ community are righteously pissed that he's using the "coming out" announcement to deflect attention away from the bigger problem. They're even more furious (rightly so) that said announcement will inadvertently play into the stereotype that gay = pedophile. I'm not gay, myself, but I can understand the reasoning behind the community's concern. Spacey really is a shitstain and should get the Weinstein treatment.

I am gay and it pisses me off that a bi man comes out as gay to distract from the fact he's a sicko. I don't care that people think gay = pedo, that shit is only believed by really dumb people.

I would love if Trump got the Weinstein treatment. I guess it's only wrong when liberals do horrible things and not when Orange dipshit's first wife accused him of rape and said he moves on women, married women, like a bitch and grabs them by the pussy because he could.

Our world is fucked.

They seem to already be filming the 6th season even though they didn't announce it until today. So yeah, I'm sure it was decided months ago and not when it turns out Kevin Spacey is a pedo. I mean really. They can claim they made this decision months, even years, ago.
