Just had to say that I loved the use of Pink Floyd’s “Dark Side of the Moon” at the end of the latest episode. It’s of course a nod to the pop culture trend of syncing the album up with The Wizard of Oz film.
Sometimes they chain people to rocks in the mines.
If the writers still canonically think that they chained King George down in the mines, since that was only seen in a deleted scene.
I’m going to rage if they only brought Jerome back to quickly kill him off again by the end of the next episode. Please Gotham, do not repeat the same mistake you made last Season!
It really does sound like so much is hinging on the contracts of some of the leads. Rebooting a show that has been established for several seasons, to the point where ratings are already dipping, with a new crew is extremely hard (look at current show Sleepy Hollow that had a pretty big shake up at the end of its third seasonâeven though lead actor stayed on, it didnât help the floundering ratings).
Iâm starting to seriously wonder if this whole âGideon killing Emmaâ plot was really a precaution in case JMo doesnât sign. If she doesnât signâEmma will die a Saviorâs death and S7 is about recovering from that. If she does signâEmma defeated fate and S7 is the big end to it all.
If contract renewals don’t go the way they want them to, then the network may be reluctant with that proposed Season 7 idea. It would be similar to what happened with Castle’s cancellation. They were prepping for another Season, but the problem was that co-lead Stana Katic wouldn’t return. There was fan backlash at the idea of continuing the show without her, so ultimately it was cancelled. So ultimately it seems like OUAT’s future is largely down to contract negotiations.
I canât remember if weâve made a note of this or not, but I just saw a promo for ABCâs new âTime After Time.â It will air at 9pm (two hour premiere) on Sunday, March 5. In other words, OUAT is the lead in. Gotta wonder if ABC is hoping that the shows will help each other.
Quite a few people who follow TV ratings in the SpoilerTV and SpottedRatings comments were really hoping that ABC would move OUAT to 9 or even 10pm, in order to give a Time After Time a better chance by airing it at 8pm. 9pm has become a deathslot thanks to all of the stiff competition from The Walking Dead, Game of Thrones and other big cable shows that air on Sunday nights. Seriously, why do so many big shows have to air on Sundays? Not to mention OUAT has become a weak-lead in. Despite those factors, ABC still decided to keep OUAT in its timeslot for a reason:
1) OUAT is still an important show to the ABC brand, even if ratings have drastically weakened. The show makes money via other avenues such as merchandise, Blu-Rays, online streaming, international deals, and now even the official conventions. Aside from streaming and international deals, most of ABC shows don’t have that. Even the TGIT shows only get DVD releases, not Blu-Rays. It doesn’t hurt that the show is a Disney synergy marketing vehicle for the parent company.
2) Perhaps ABC lacks faith in Time After Time? It’s not only a genre show, but a period show. Those are very hard sells. Viewers may also suspect that its too similar to NBC’s Timeless, and pass.
3) Time After Time is also a Warner Bros show, while OUAT is solely ABC’s. The network is going to favor their own in-house productions when they can.
4) They want to retain OUAT’s family audience. 9pm is up for debate, but 10pm would be out of the question for that audience. You could argue that ABC had no problem moving Agents of SHIELD to 10pm, but I wouldn’t say it’s nearly as much of a family show as OUAT is.Speaking of promos, ABC should start promoting OUAT’s return soon. Last year I believe they started the Mid Season OUAT promotion with a promo that aired during the Bachelor on the first Monday of February. If history repeats itself, February 6th could be when promotion starts.
