Fall TV Line-Up: Looking Forward and Dreading - Comments

I seriously need to catch up on Season 9 & 10 because I only watched the first eight seasons and I barely kept up with that. Luckily season 9 is out now and I'll be getting it soon.

I think I read Constantine is based off the comic series. I wasn't a huge fan of the movie anyway, but like you said about Dominion (which I also think is pretty cool), maybe it'll turn out better since they'll have more time to follow the comics closer, as opposed to fitting everything in a movie.

Yeah, Jane apparently ends up pregnant by her childhood crush. I only know that because I was reading the Wiki page and in the cast, it said something like Justin Baldoni as Rafael, Jane's childhood crush and the father of her unborn baby. I was like...well, that's convenient. Lol. I don't know, it just sounds kind of silly. How do you accidently artificially inseminate someone? How does that even come about? You go in for a check up and you have a sperm sample laying around and you just...use it? But in all seriousness, it might be a good watch. The lead actress seems very likable, so I might be able to get passed the unrealistic plot if I like the characters, ya know?

Yes! That is brilliant. Ichabod would be so amusing as a roommate.

I hope that's what it's about, too! It's made by a black writer and people like Tracee Ellis Ross is on it so I hope that's the direction they're gonna go with it.

@ castiel's vessel

Ichabod and Abby as roommates who drive each other crazy and he's up in the middle of the night screaming about that blasted blinking red dot in the ceiling and why does it keep making that sound, and Abby's just like "Crane. That's the fire detector. It needs new batteries," and Ichabod goes, "Abigail, you need a machine to tell you when there's a fire?"

@ essence.

I think I remember her from the promos.

I hope with Black-ish they, at least, make it about the pressure some black people (and not just mixed raced kids) feel to be "black enough" and prejudices within our own community and trying to fit in within other communities and the pressure of that. Because, otherwise, it's just kind of weak. If it's going to be "no one's black enough" and then everything 'black' is stereotypical nonsense, I just wish they wouldn't.

@ strigoi.

I was wondering if this Constantine series is also a spin-off of the movie or is it purely from the comic book. They did something like that recently with the Syfy show Dominion and it turned out pretty cool. I could definitely fit another hunting demons crew in my schedule.

Oh my god! She's pregnant with her crush's baby? Amazing. I didn't know that. XD I just don't get how something like this could work. And I'm with you 100%. If that happened to me, I'd be a very rich lady.

I can't wait for Gotham. Like, seriously. I'm so excited to see where they go with Penguin, Riddler, Poison Ivy, Catwoman, etc.; how they portray them and pave the way for them to become the super villains. I'm also interested in Constantine, especially because Harold Perrineau and Emmett Scanlan are going to be in it.

Of course, always excited for Supernatural. All time favorite show. I'm a bit iffy on Red Band Society. I mean, I love Octavia, and I also love Dave Annable, but I agree it seems like they're capitalizing on that subject, just like how they were with the Twilight craze and everything was vampires. I feel like it'll be really sad and I'll need to keep a thing of kleenex next to me at all times. I also have a feeling that although they have a main cast, people shouldn't get attached to them, ya know? And how can you not get attached to characters. It does look like an interesting story, though, so I might check it out.

Jane the Virgin is another one I'm like...what? It seems like an interesting premise, but at the same time, if that were me, I'd be suing the shit out of that hospital and that would be the whole show. Lol. It doesn't seem like anyone is discussing lawsuits or anything and if I were that serious about my religion and everything, I'd be so pissed and suing that hospital for everything it was worth. And then it just so happens she gets inseminated with the sample of her childhood crush? Seems very unrealistic, but I guess I'll see what happens when it comes on.

I can't wait for Sleepy Hollow! It was so good and Ichabod is such a great character. I hope him and Abby don't fall in love because that's how every show does it; instead, I want a real good friendship between them with the constant comments he makes about the new modern world he's found himself in.

Red Band Society actually gives me Glee teas. Like I understand the connection to TFiOS since EVERYONE is on that now from the movie, but I think it's trying to be a more deep, less musical version of Glee. Does that make sense? Like since Glee is ending Fox felt the need to push another concept of fucked up teens into the network.

Octavia Spencer is on it so I'll probably watch at least one week.

Now a show like Black-ish is something I'm iffy over.
