don't be dull, be fannish

Season 6 will be its last, Jeff Davis confirmed at SDCC yesterday. And thank the gods above. How much has changed for me over these last few seasons. I used to adore the show. Now... Not only are the plots downright dumb and never seem to go anywhere, they're actually making Stydia canon. Fuck. It.

You know just how much they had to bend over backwards to make Stydia canon? Let me count the ways: They fired Arden Cho, one of the main actresses, thus ending Scira - Scott/Kira - to make space for Stydia - Stiles/Lydia - as the main focus and main couple of S6. And to achieve that, they had to drop Stalia - Stiles/Malia - and Marrish - Lydia/Parrish - the two couples they have been building up these last few seasons. They just dropped them, no closure. Like they didn't even happen.

You know what the reason was for Stiles breaking up with Malia? That she loved him so much she accepted that he killed Donovan with a good reason without any explanation on his part. That was the reason. She told him she knew and she didn't mind - and he broke up with her. Without telling her or us, the viewers. Only a season later we found out that they broke up and this was their break-up talk. And all that in preparation for making Stydia happen this season.

You know what, Teen Wolf? Fuck. You. You destroyed three beautiful ships you have been building up to make this one happen, completely retconning one of the main messages of the show, that it's necessary to move on, not get stuck on unrequited love. Fuck. You.

Good news: The Librarians was renewed for S3 by TNT, yay!

Bad news: Cuffs was canceled by BBC... *sigh*

So, Minority Report's episode order was cut by 3, it'll now have only 10 episodes (which means it's pretty much canceled). Defiance and Rookie Blue were also canceled. Limitless dropped hard with Chicago Fire back on air and Sleepy Hollow dropped below 1.0 demo, which means this is definitely its last season, too.

But at least Rosewood was picked up for a full season. Small favors and silver linings...

Syfy canceled Haven, S5 will be its last: link. I'm actually okay with that. I didn't like the direction the show took last season - the Mara storyline bored me to tears and sometimes I could hardly bring myself to watch the eps - and considering the ratings, barely 0.2 demo, the writing was on the wall. I'm just glad that after how terrible the viewership numbers were last season, Syfy didn't simply scraped its plans and actually kept the 13 ep order for S5. And since the writers also must have known that this would be it, I hope they conceived a good series finale.

The exec of Constantine let the fans know that he failed to find the show a new home. The actors were released from their contracts and the sets were taken down. Source. Sorry, fans, until now there was still SOME hope but the show's definitely over :(

So, renewed Agent Carter, Agents of SHIELD & Castle (yes, Stana Katic is returning!), yet they passed on the AoS spin-off that should've featured Bobbi and Lance. I would've given ALL these shows for that one spin-off. Both Carter and AoS are boring as hell and I'm staying with AoS only out of loyalty for Marvel and my love for Huntingbird *sigh*

Also, ABC canceled Forever. It was pretty much given, still, I'm disappointed. What a wonderful, quirky show...

--> The X-Files was picked up for a 6 ep long event series by Fox, Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny will return: link.

--> Looking was canceled by HBO, a special final ep will be filmed: link.

USA Network canceled Covert Affairs: link. Now there really isn't anything for me to watch on USA. I haven't been following this show for a few seasons now, I kinda didn't like the direction in which it went, but out of the remaining shows on USA, I still liked it best.

I was disappointed when White Collar's S5 was cut short (from 16 to 13) and then S6 was only 6 episodes, but at least they got the chance to wrap things up. I would've hated it if it ended with the S5 cliffhanger and I loved the eventual ending. I'm really surprised that USA didn't give CA even a shortened S6 run and a chance to tie up all the loose ends. I hope this doesn't become a precedent, that they don't turn into A&E!

I don't know if anyone on my flist wast watching it, but Lifetime just canceled Witches of East End: link. I kept downloading the show with the intention of binge watching it one day. Now, I guess I'll just delete it because, from what I hear, it ended on a huge cliffhanger and I really hate that. Eh.

I know that there are people on my flist who watched the show, so, my condolences, folks. A&E just canceled Longmire: link.
