Not OUAT related, but figured I might as well bring it up. ABC has cancelled Of Kings and Prophets after only two episodes. The quickest cancellation from ABC this Season:

I watched the pilot. Not surprised at all by this.

That’s what happens to shows that try to be like Game of Thrones too much.

Why do shows try to be like Game of thrones? There is a lot of problems with Game of thrones and honestly i don’t think the violence are what people find appealing about it. That is the problem, people don’t know what is appealing about Game of Thrones and then they guess the wrong thing.

I think that movie/tv producers and the audience stopped appreciating the quiet moments that allow characters breath and deal with everything that happens to them, it’s like almost everything needs to be action and violence. Even Game of Thrones season 5 should have been more quiet and less shocking and really be about the aftermath of previous seasons, but it wasn’t and it was rushed and sacrificed character development for shock (poor Sansa).

Last minute predictions on ratings for 5×14?

I think we’re going to tick down just a hair (there’s a big Easter thing on FOX tonight). So, I’m going to say a 1.2 in the demo.

Yeah, that plus Daylight Savings could be factors. For those unaware, ratings for a good amount of shows tend to drop a little after Daylight Savings occurs in the Spring. It started last Saturday night, but the effect on TV ratings tends to start the following Monday:

yuck…

If it goes any lower then season 6 will definitely be the final season. If I were abc, I would try to find a new hit asap, put it on Sundays at 8 and move OUAT to a timeslot where it can die.
