Not an exact match, but why make it octagon shaped. Especially if the 2 shows have a similar genre.
 
‘Wayward Pines’ Hits Season High & Sets DVR Lift Record, Could Get 2nd Season

Wayward Pines, from Chad Hodge and M. Night Shyamalan, was one of the first two event series greenlighted by Fox as part of Fox logo horizontalits current push in the arena, getting a pickup alongside 24: Live Another Day in May 2013. Since then, Fox aired Live Another Day; ordered, aired and cancelled another limited series, Gracepoint; and cast Wayward Pines co-star Terrence Howard in a pilot, Empire, which went to series, became a hit and was renewed for a second season. (Wayward Pines co-star Juliette Lewis also has since done a pilot, ABC’s Secrets & Lies, which went to series and has been picked up for a second season).

Debuting exactly two years after it was picked up, Wayward Pines got off to an unremarkable start against the season finales of Scandal and The Blacklist and the NBA playoffs, opening below Gracepoint to a soft 1.0 adults 18-49 rating in Live+Same Day. But then the Shyamalan-directed premiere almost doubled its demo delivery in Live+3, posting a record percentage DVR lift for a Fox opener and a 2014-15 new series debut on any network — 90% — to rise to a 1.9 rating. The premiere added two more tenths in L+7 to get to a 2.1.

And demonstrating again how misleading Live+SD ratings are these days, while the mystery drama declined in Week 4 in L+SD — it posted 1.0, 1.2, 1.2, 1.1 in 18-49 for the four telecasts — in L+7 it actually hit a series high in Week 4 (2.1, 2.3, 2.2, 2.4). The 118% lift the show got from L+SD to L+7 set a record for the biggest ever percentage-wise for a summer series.

The somewhat surprisingly solid and consistent ratings performance by Wayward Pines has not gone unnoticed. I hear there is interest in another season of the mystery series. Because of the long time frame between the project’s pickup/production and its airdate, the options on all actors lapsed long ago. (Wayward Pines’ cast also includes Matt Dillon, Carla Gugino and Melissa Leo.) I hear the idea is to explore a potential second installment with different characters and cast but in the same world, which would not be a straight anthology format. I hear talks are preliminary, and Fox brass are expected to meet with the Wayward Pines creative team soon to discuss the possibilities.

As a testament to the new reality where the digital ratings performance is as important if not more important than the linear one, NBC today renewed another drama whose launch had been delayed, Aquarius, on the strength of its digital performance, despite its lukewarm ratings on the network.

Damn, the Abbies jumped on dude and his dead buddy like crab legs at an all you can eat Chinese buffet.
 
I was ready to quit watching this show.
But then Terrance Howard got merked and now I'm in for the season just to show my appreciation. I hate that he was the only brother on the show, but his bitch ass had to go.
Now they got to get rid of Pilcher's sister and that goofy ass teacher.
All that bomb bullshit could have been avoided if the sheriff had just taken a couple of them up in the helicopter and showed them what's what.
 
I have no problem believing they are in the future.
My only question is: If it is 2000 years later, who was keeping watch over the "sleepers" all that time? If no one, how is the facility, the cryo-chambers, supplies, etc. still there after all that time?
If they explained it, I must have missed it.
 
I like it. My only issue is that they should just let the people who have an issue with the town leave. Especially if they have more people frozen. It's all about the teens keeping things going anyway.

Good point. If muthafuckas wanna go all domestic terrorist, then fuck it. Let them out the front gate.

Common sense says that you thaw a person out, tell em what the situation is and then keep them individually confined until you can be reasonably sure that the person you're dealing with isn't going to lose his shit.
If somebody is going to freak out and blow a gasket, then you can get rid of him without wasting food and supplies on his ass.
 
Not overly fond of the way that ended. :smh:


Oh well, it is m night shama lama ding dong.


The promo for his new movie.
:smh: Who the fuck would completely crawl into an oven to clean it? :lol:

and Fox now rumored to be talking about a season 2 cause :money: :rolleyes:

as for The Visit im shocked its rated PG 13.. that preview looks like one of those
where the announcer just says the rating at the end

"This will only take a second."

*SLAM*

Announcer: RATED R.

:roflmao2:
 
Ending makes sense. They had most of the supplies. And all of the punk ass adults were left. I would like to see more of it. Pilcher pretty much made a cult by being such a control freak.

I thought it could have turned into something really nice, especially after the big secret was revealed.
I think the original plan hinged on the show getting renewed for a second season after showing 2 or 3 episodes.
When that didn't happen, this show rapidly disintegrated into shit.
