Three Shows That Shouldn't Be Cancelled.





In the past week, it was bloodshed on the small screen as both Cable and Network broadcasters decided which shows they will be bringing back for the 2018/2019 season. You can find the cancelled list of shows here
Some shows are still hanging on a thread but there are three special(sort of) cases that shouldn't be given the red card.
The thing is, the studios are holding back these announcements because these shows are wrapping up their 2017/2018 seasons and they want the finale ratings to roll in for cconsideration. And also, to find a way to easily drop the announcements without massive outrage. Actually, there is no easy way to tell me my favorite show has been cancelled.


Timeless

Timeless got cancelled after its first season last year and fans were enraged. A protest began on social media and the fans probably took to the streets too. In less than two days, NBC was forced to renew it for a second season which is the incredibly massive season we are all enjoying this year.
My review on an episode of Timeless is my most read article on this fresh blog racking in over a thousand readers in three days. Timeless aired its season two finale last night which I'll see tonight due to time differences(ish), but the point is... this season has been good, like really good. The ratings aren't fabulous but they are normal. And if NBC is gonna acquire the cancelled Brooklyn Nine-Nine from Fox, then they should consider one of the best things in their house. And of course, if they don't, we won't hesitate to stage another protest.


Gotham

Gotham fans won't take No for an answer. Everyone who is a Gotham fan now prayed for its cancellation when they saw the first few episodes of the pilot season. It didn't happen then. It shouldn't happen now. You've given us four years of an unpredictable dark origin story, don't take that away. Please, Fox.
Top sites reported that the fate of Gotham hinges on Lethal Weapon - if Lethal Weapon was renewed, no Gotham, if it wasn't renewed, then Gotham will be coming back for another dark ride. I don't quite understand that knot yet. If you do, let me know in the comment section because Lethal Weapon got renewed last night after recasting it's co-lead.
But the truth is, we've fallen love with this tale. Fox, we are not asking you to do it for love, just do it for conscience. You made us fall in love with the citizens of Gotham, don't break our hearts. Keep it going.


Agents Of Shield

This one will surely lead to a worldwide protest, especially if this season ends well. Not everyone knows this but it got cancelled last season. Before an official announcement, a miracle happened. Five years with the B-List Avengers and just like Marvel's Inhuman, this show could be given the axe. Not as if the Marvel Cinematic Universe care about their TV connections anyway but screw the MCU, I can't imagine TV without the Agents of SHIELD. Why the ratings are not super high still baffles me because its fans stretch through genres and factions. This is the last Marvel show on ABC and the last on network television. It stayed this long because it's been strong... story-wise, it never falters. We are addicted to the characters already. So ABC, please forgive and forget Marvel's sins. Don't axe it.
And besides, you owe us two... for cancelling 'Agent Carter' after merely two seasons and giving 'Most Wanted' the red card before it even began. No one cares that much about Inhumans but Agents Of Shield is heartthrob. See, we are actually begging. Don't do it.


Announcements will roll in this week, if you've never prayed, I think this is the time to evaluate your life. Pray, hardcore fans, pray.

Any show you praying doesn't get the axe? Let me know. I'm a prayer warrior in my church. It's now or never.

Update: I just got a mail from Variety...just before posting this.
Gotham has been renewed for its fifth and final season. Who said God doesn't answer prayers? Praise the lord somebody.

The Aquaman Experience

The name Aquaman means different things to different people. To some people, it's one of the new December movies they should go see with their family. To some, it's the type of movie they should see because they don't do Nollywood. To people like me, it's the movie we hope we have been waiting for – the movie that saves the DC Cinematic Universe. The first two batch possibly don't even know what the last batch is talking about– they just wanna see a movie. But guess what? Aquaman makes the grade of all– of everyone who sat in the dark room staring at the giant screen with different expectations, Aquaman delivered. From the director of "Furious 7" and "The Conjuring" franchise comes ANOTHER superhero movie following a long list of other major tentpoles that have destroyed box office records and the hearts of movie-goers in a good way. But Aquaman seeks to standout and it does because who knows Aquaman? "Batman, we know. Superman,

NBC's Timeless, DC's Legends Of Tomorrow: Two sides Of The Same Coin... for now.

The time team on both shows are immensely committed to preserving history. While Legends have done that using different plotlines each season, our friends on Timeless have been chasing an evil organization called Rittenhouse, that is bent on turning history in their favour. That summarizes the plan of every Legends' big bad. With time travel shows, having intertwined plotline shouldn't raise eyebrows. Both shows have meddled with past presidents' younger selves, history shapers and also music legends. The newest episode of Timeless(S02E06) titled "The King of Delta Blues" definitely made Legends fans nostalgic(sort of.) Rittenhouse travelled back in time to San Antonio, 1936, to stop Robert Johnson and Don Law from recording an album and the team wants to make sure the album is made. Robert Johnson is the King of Delta Blues and Father of Rock 'n' Roll. Not recording that album means there is no modern blues music, "no rock n roll, none of y

The Great War: A Game Of Thrones Story

"Fall back!" Jon yelled. "Forget them, capture the White Walker." Brienne sheathed her sword and took hold of the d ragonglass lurcher that has been dangling on her back. She arranged the metal atop the wood the way Gendry had taught them. The White Walker was coming for her. Why Me? The White Walker moved towards her still, advancing; leaving a trail of dead men in his wake. She hadn't used the l urcher today... she loathes the sound it makes when fired; she couldn't afford going deaf for any period of time in the middle of a battle. Jon had earlier exhausted his on the wights. The way he used them, sometimes, she thought he enjoyed it. But the White Walker kept coming for her... and she fired. She saw the moulded glass bore a hole in his chest. Then he stopped and slouched. "It didn't work." She tried to yell above the clanging of swords and shouts of fighting men, "It doesn't work on them." The White
