Every once in awhile...

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

the episodes that *do* have good plots have been amazing. It's unfortunate that they are few and far between

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

It really is.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

Do we even know for certain if TW was renewed for S3?

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

I don't know. I should hope so. I think I'd really have to hurt them for ending it like THAT.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

absolutely. I'm fairly sure it was, but I don't remember seeing anything OFFICIAL about it

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I think, for the moment, it's just rumor, at least until they put out the official press release.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

If I rememebr Barrowman himself mentioned something, but until I hear from the BBC I never quite believe it

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Exactly.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

*sigh* that would be such a horrible way to end it

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

It really would. And only in the second season.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

although some shows don't even get that

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

This is true. They're usually the ones I like, too.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

my liking a television show nearly guarantees it's cancellation

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Funny how that works.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

funny... yeah....

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Funny in that "bang your head against the wall" sort of way.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

ah yes, very familiar with that feeling!

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

With network TV, it's definitely not a unique feeling.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

I have that kind of luck with all TV- network and cable

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Yeah, now that I think of it, it's kind of just a general TV feeling.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

bastard tv execs

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Here, here!

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

I can never decide which is worse, when they out right cancel a show or when they muck about with it and destroy it anyway since it's not the show you knew and loved before

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

I don't know. I think I'd rather my show go out with a bang instead of die a slow, painful death.
