What you did to me was unbelievable, Connor. But then I got stuck in a hell dimension by my girlfriend one time for a hundred years, so three months under the ocean actually gave me perspective. Kind of a M.C. Escher perspective, but I did get time to think.

What is even happening?

Oh and there is some teeny tiny minor hope for Black Donnellys . . . apparently, if NBCs pilots suck and the streamed shows and downloads from itunes do well, they may bring it back. Minor hope.

sumi, where did you hear this? I really liked TBD, but I haven't watched anything on the web since they pulled it. It didn't seem like a good use of my time to get any more involved in a story that was never going to get told.

Art Crawl!!!

BTW, the supplies they needed to make munitions? Are they easy to come by? I mean, what exactly would they need?

Given that they don't even have a salt lick.

Shit, is that a spoiler? I'm sorry, it's been everywhere for the last month, but if it's a spoiler I'll go back and remove it.

sumi, where did you hear this?

The futon critic reported that they were showing the unaired episodes on NBC.com.

I read it at E!:

The real skinny? Sources connected to the Peacock network tell me the higher-ups at NBC are waiting to see how its pilots for new series turn out (the ol' wait-and-see—it kills me!), and they're also putting a lot of weight into how well the Donnellys episodes do on nbc.com and also on iTunes.

The Source is Kristin. Make of it what you will.

sa, that news counts as spoilage of the lite variety. I would imagine that it would be soonish because of the new storyline.

Oh, and we've had two episodes of TBD online. Both of them better than what aired. This week's featured William Sadler.

I wasn't thinking in terms of spoilers, just "am I going to have to start watching that show?" So I'm as glad it was here as not.

I knew they were airing the episodes, I just didn't think there was a smidge of a chance the show would ever again be broadcast on the network. That's what I was asking about.

The real skinny? Sources connected to the Peacock network tell me the higher-ups at NBC are waiting to see how its pilots for new series turn out (the ol' wait-and-see—it kills me!), and they're also putting a lot of weight into how well the Donnellys episodes do on nbc.com and also on iTunes.
Thanks, sumi. The wait-n-see kills me, too. I figure that's what is going on with Veronica Mars, too. It is canceled for all intents and purposes, but the network would never announce that until the last minute, because something could happen to the other show(s) it's hoping will replace it.
