Helena-as-Tatiana just got hungry.

The Emmys have a history of shutting out anything fantasy/sci-fi. GoT is
an obvious exception but it exploded years ago and has HBO power
backing it. BBCA is small.

If Malek or Maslany ever win I'm taking back every crappy thing I've ever said/thought about the Emmys. If they both win in the same year I'm going to create an imaginary mother figure called Mrs. Emmy and talk to it on the subway while looking for my clone.

Helena snuck in I see..

USA plans to have Mr. Robot hack its way in to even the comedy categories.

True. I'm sure some people have even done fanfic like that. Although it's unlikely Darlton would want to come back, which may alienate the actors and would very well turn off some of the diehards although people who didn't like the ending might check it out.

True, they did that a bit with The New Man In Charge from the DVD, although eventually you would have to at least reference what happened to the Ajira Six when they got back to the outsider world, and how they got Desmond back to his family.

Jin and Sun have shows too. But they are dead. I think Charlie does an adventure-nature show.

If they reboot no. A continuation like Heroes then it would be. Also the creators are busyish too. They would need two or three major actors to return right out of the gate.

A guy usually does one on Monday's comments for WOT.

Evangeline Lily's moved on to movies, Jorge Garcia is on Hawaii Five-O, Henry Ian Cusick is on The 100, Josh Holloway is on that cable show with one of the Lost creators coming up, Nestor Carbonell is on Bates Motel, Emilie De Ravin is on OUAT, the other creator is on The Leftovers. Michael Emerson is still on POI for…

I'll be interested in how Heroes Reborn does. If it does well enough some suit at ABC might float the idea of Lost Reborn. But the creators would never do it and most of the actors whose characters survived are on other shows now so it's very unlikely unless they did a total reboot one day.

Big Bang should still be strong although apparently for one of the early episodes this season, one of the creators got harassed on Twitter by an angry shipper mob. Not likely to dent the ratings but still interesting. Mom has Lorre support. Life in Pieces could pull a Modern Family, stranger things have happened.

Well, I think asking Dateline staff to take another slot would have gotten them sued for overwork so they called NPH.

Funnily enough TVLine liked Best Time Ever. I just don't see a variety show surviving in modern television though. I am a little worried for the Muppets if only because Ausiello give the actual Pilot a mixed side-mention in another article.

Well, this episode of The Race was properly named! Cabotage! Gino and Jesse seem to be favorite to win based on challenge performance but I'm sure their (and the Wrestlers) standing is going to take a hit in the fan poll. Brent & Sean stole a cab too but said they called a replacement-they may have cut it for time but…

I wonder if they added a 2nd Face Off at the last minute after the teams peaced-out on the first one. I imagine the producers were freaking out in that episode. So now they are saying: "We will get the one type of challenge the US one doesn't have to work properly, dammit! Now go curling!"

Didn't review the first two episodes until now.

Rant time, thanks for listening:

It's not even entirely Amazon's fault. Old protectionism laws blocked them from the book market years ago for example. Netflix was able to get here before anyone took streaming TV seriously and the major telecoms are scrambling to try and compete now. But Amazon was already here before they got into TV so the old…
