Don't blame ABC so much! The crew was still shooting up until almost a week ago, IIRC. I don't know if JJ had anything to give them.
Oh, I'm gonna go to the special hell.

[NAFDA] This is where we talk about the show! Anything that's aired in the US (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though -- if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

The hiatuses are driven by sweeps week. So blame the Nielsens.

Not entirely. Not all shows have hiatii (say it out loud -- it's fun), or ones so long. There are ways around it, but you gotta have product.

But what if you make them mad, and they take their toys and go away?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
or ones so long
Not really. Also, doesn't hiatus mean no show at all? We got three reruns and a clip show. That's really not all that different from what used to happen with Buffy.

But it's true...some shows start late and run all the way through.

True, but most of the scripted shows still have gaps between batches of new episodes. 24 is very much the exception rather than the rule.

Oh. I thought you were disagreeing with my "not entirely."
Never mind.
