Well plus, they already want us to read the webcomic, now we have to watch an innovative spin-off of a series that's only a year old? One made up of new characters. It's too much work. I don't want to be interactive; I want to be inactive. I just want to turn on my TV and watch something good while I lull myself into a false sense of complacency.
Zoe: I thought you wanted to spend more time off-ship this visit. Wash: Out there is seems like it's all fancy parties. I like our party better. The dress code is easier and I know all the steps.

[NAFDA]. This is where we talk about the show and ancillary materials such as web comics! 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. Chuffa, Chuffa!

What is even happening?

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
So where is this spin-off showing? Is it another on-line show?(Which means I won't be able to watch it, most likely, given my connection speed)

Art Crawl!!!
I don't know -- because it certainly wasn't on the schedule. I was happy to see that NBC is (so far) keeping Heroes in the spot it's been in.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
You know what, it'lll probably be a bit like the comic where, if you follow it, it'll give you something extra when you watch the regular show, but otherwise, it won't make much difference. They've done a good job playing with interactivity. And if it helps keeps viewers engaged and keep the show running, I'm cool with it.
The real question is, what cast members were at the upfronts? I've only seen a picture of one cast member so far. (And of course, that doesn't even completely guarantee they'll be back. But it's a hint.

Oh, and according to the AP, "Origins" will air during the hiatus, so they can get around the post-hiatus drop they suffered this year.

Trust my rage
I am exactly in Cindy's corner. What a PITA. Plus, I hate the idea of voting - there's a reason I don't like/watch American Idol. Hopefully, the voting/extra stuff will stay out of the way.

Geez. When did this become such a doom-and-gloom crowd?

Well, it's always bugged me a bit that there were comics and part of the story was being told there. This bugs because it's more in the same direction.
But not gloom and doom. I totally love the show and can't wait to see more.

I get that, but I've got to admit, it really bothers me when you have a show that's innovative and willing to try new things, and has so far pulled them off with aplomb, and it gets greeted with so much negativity here.
