Writers seem to hop around shows a lot, so it's possible they'd move her over from Once Upon a Time. I really have no idea how that show is as bad as it is with both her and Andrew Chambliss writing… then again Espenson wrote for Torchwood: Miracle Day so maybe she just collaborates well with Whedon.

Stealth Smash reboot! Katherine Mcphee dresses in a leather catsuit and defeats the bad guys using her mindblowing star power.

On that one hand that gives me hope that it will be pretty different from most of what's on network television and not as terrible and pandering as you would expect an NBC show to be. On the other hand I find Carnivale pretty boring (I ended up watching season 1 twice several years apart and STILL haven't managed to

Oh yeah, I had heard that and then forgotten. He wrote some of the worst X-files episodes back in the day, but much of his work on Angel was excellent and the last season of that show is my favorite thing in the Whedonverse. I can deal with that.

HIMYM is indeed still on for another season, and I'd imagine between that, The Winter Soldier, and Avengers 2 she'll be pretty busy next year. Maybe they can squeeze her in for a guest spot or two though, it could help make the show feel more connected to the movies.

He's more involved than that, he cowrote the pilot and is directing it. I believe Jed Whedon and Maurissa Tancharoen are going to be the showrunners. It sounds like he will be about as involved with it as he was with Dollhouse, so I think it'll have enough Whedony stuff to keep us happy.

A pirate show created by Luther's Neil Cross and starring John Malkovich. It sounds kind of interesting and has a chance of being decent given that Cross is a pretty strong writer. Maybe it'll surprise everyone and end up being next year's Awake/Hannibal.

I never got around to catching up on Parks… comedies aren't generally my bag. I'll do it one day, though the sheer number of episodes is starting to get intimidating. I've also never seen either of the other Fresco shows (though I've heard good things), but this new one sounds pretty dire. I'm sure I'll check out

Dracula might be kind of interesting? Yeah… probably not. Everything I'm interested in on that network doesn't start until midseason (hopefully including Hannibal *crosses fingers*).

Oh yeah… I didn't notice that. Goddammit.

Thanks for letting me know! Hope that means good things for Hannibal's renewal… Swapping it and Dracula out on Fridays could end up being a pretty successful formula.

Why the hell are they starting Dracula out on Fridays at ten? I guess Grimm is doing okay on Fridays, but I thought it wasn't really standard practice for networks to start new shows off on that night. It's like they don't want it to succeed or something…

God damn it, I almost had a heart attack when I saw the Hannibal notification and saw the word "canceled" so close to it. Seems like there's still some hope though, no one was expecting it to return till the spring anyway.

I really can't decide whether the puppet episode or this one was worse. They were both pretty atrocious, though this one may be slightly worse due to it shitting all over the series' past.

You mean we might have to watch this episode AGAIN someday? Pass.

It sounds like it will only a six episode final season or so… no more than 13 anyway.

I don't get the hate for that episode. Though I have to confess I don't have a big, deep defense for that one: it's just fucking hilarious. I think it's the funniest episode of Community and by far the hardest I've ever laughed at the show (particularly Annie's song). I thought the Glee bashing was only a fairly small

I'm really baffled by how exactly this commenter came up with this gimmick. Or really what the hell this gimmick is meant to be.

Huh, I thought she was great and wish there had been more of the kids. Gaiman can really write kids and teens realistically, especially around that age: even the bright ones tend to be insufferable brats 90% of the time until they manage to mature a bit.

Why, ye gods, did we not get the Victorian version of Clara? I don't dislike this one, but I feel like that version of the character was clearer and made a lot more sense: her behavior in this episode would be perfect for that version of the character for instance. Plus it would just be more interesting to get a
