    Um excuse me

    I think we can all agree that Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is just some cheap knock-off of DC megahits Smallville and Arrow

    I think I heard this exact sentence in the comic shop yesterday.

    It was all I could do to keep from vomiting everywhere.

    Seriously. It's an obvious idea. All of the (most of the) coolness of Batman and his villains, from an interesting perspective, with a fraction of the budget.
    How many episodes did Birds of Prey last?

    Nah.

    I'd say the only smart thing about DC's approach is that they haven't adopted a hasty "anything you can do I can do better" approach. That wouldn't have gone anywhere good.

    It's might be a better tactic than "oh shit, Marvel did it first, now we can't do it!"

    Actually
    The animated Ghostbusters universe does.

    It's literally the same movie as the real world's version.

    Avengers had that deleted scene where Steve is hanging out at that little outdoor cafe and the waitress tells him they have free wireless and he's like "...radio?"

    And then Stan Lee goes "Ask for her number, idiot!"

    13. It started off with huge ratings, which plummeted once people realized how boring it was.

    Oh, man.

    It's the cop show we have been promised forever.

    "He's a loose cannon human detective. His partner's a robot. Can they work together, WITH THE FATE OF THE CITY AT STAKE?"

    All my experience with sci-fi in sitcoms has promised me that this show will be one of the most popular programs in THE FUTURE.

    And we are all interested in the future, for that is where you and I are going to spend the rest of our lives. And remember my friend, future events such as these will affect you in the future.

    That actually looks pretty good. And it's on Fox, so I'm guessing it'll be canceled after 13 episodes.

    So are those guys in masks gonna turn out to be rogue mx's or rogue dorian's?

    Also the main character's initial reasons for robot distrust are pretty much Will Smith from I, Robot.

    Say what you will about Arrested Development (even though most people like it)

    But my favorite episode of that show, S.O.B., is pretty great in that, even before the show's (then-imminent) cancellation, they use Michael's character to say "Fox took a chance on us, they gave us plenty of time to find an audience, but we never caught on. It's not their fault. They did their part."

    Of course, a lot of people somehow missed the point of that episode and still complain about Fox canceling it anyways

    Fox also gave Dollhouse an extra season when they were basically insane to greenlight it in the first place
  • BlankzillaBlankzilla We were the best, Richard No matter what they sayRegistered User regular
    The only time I can really think of Fox screwing over a sci-fi show was Firefly, and that is more due to them airing episodes out of order and constantly switching the timeslot around.

    They have been pretty damn good about trying out weird shows.

    Firefly got a bum deal, and some other shows bit the dust a little sooner than felt fair, but yeah.

    Fox gets a lot of undeserved shit on that front. They take risks, and gave Arrested Development every chance they could.

    Fox has cancelled plenty of sci-fi shows.

    How is that barely

    it got 5 goddamn seasons

    an hour long sci-fi drama about alternate realities and time travel and insane bullshit getting 5 seasons is a pretty cool thing and Fox should be given credit where it is due
  • SeriouslySeriously Maarebas Registered User regular
    it didn't have any more episodes than it had

    it almost didn't have that many
