The quality of episodes mostly depends on who is writing and producing. Sopranos had about 13 a season and I have never, ever seen any show with so much filler, and not even good filler.

I think that episode order should be based on how much story there is to tell for that season.

At its core, SH is a procedural with a sci fantasy twist so I think that 22 quality episodes are eminently doable. While creatively 13 episodes would likely make it better, it also makes it more likely that FOX will cancel it sooner than later because it will take many more years for SH to reach the minimum 80 to 100 episodes required for syndication. In any case, I think that if SH continues to be a success this season, it will force FOX to order 22 episodes next season. FOX simply does not have enough successful dramas to cut short the one it has now. I bet FOX's execs are regretting their shortsightedness in scheduling The Following in the same time slot as SH.

Even with that logic, but it can work for their sister cable station, a la FX and SOA it can probably work for them. In an idealistic world 22-24 is a wonderful thing if mapped out perfectly but I don't know these people who created or run it to have that amount of faith in them, so far so good but I'm not willing to get sucked into an initial episode order and then see them f**k up the back half because they didn't anticipate a full season pick up or felt rushed.

What they're doing so far I like and some networks need to adopt the cable mentality and scale back on episode orders, sometimes less is more. But I did agree with a comment I saw on the web about hoping this news will attract more people to give it a try and watch the show, so many people, myself included at times, don't watch shows for fear that it'll be canceled, but now that isn't an issue.

I love this show so much. The Sandman episode was great, and even his Greek was perfect! :D

I didn't realize they were only doing 13 episodes. I am enjoying the show so much, it saddens me but I can see that it will work great for them. I disagree that it's a procedural show with a fantasy twist. So far, we have seen continuing storylines and cliffhangers for each episode. Yes, there seems to be a villain of the week but it ties completely into the existing story/mythology.

In that regard, I would rather they not have to come up with 22 different villains but 13. It'll keep the main arcs tight and focused and won't force them to start filling it up with useless stories.

A solid episode. Abby and Jenny are so good bickering. Ichabod was adorable as playing referee. I was not fond of his reminsing over Katrina. He needs to let her go so he and Abby can be together.

So Jenny was close to the sheriff and will be off screen for about six months. I hope that John Cho's character will be back soon.

LMAO, for some reason I thought he had called into a radio station talk show and was giving his story to the DJ but then when he said Thanks for unlocking the car from afar. I was weak!

I looooooooved Abbie & Jenny, especially when they pulled their guns on each other. So bad ass. Aww Ichabof laying down the law and truth tea on the sisters.

Glad we have a name for the forest/mirror monster.

That burning thing with the hell mouth monsters was insane!

Another great episode and was surprised to see one of my favorite EPs Ken Olin is attached to the show.

I just don't see chemistry between them and sometimes she's just there -- like I get that she's in a sense Ichabod's guide but before long it'll still become tiresome.

I love how Abbie was all protective of Ichabod and not letting them take him. I hope Abbie isn't infected because she did touch Ichabod's hand.

Morales needs to go somewhere with his pent up jealousy and frustration, Ugh.

      Another World Discussion Thread

      By Tisy-Lish · Posted

      My comment has nothing to do with cast resentment, but does relate to the Finland location shoot: It may be a coincidence, but Jim Matthews died in Finland in 1982.  Hugh Marlowe's final episode was in April 1982, but the character probably didn't die untll May or June. (I'm unable to find the character's date of death, only the date of Marlowe's final episode). SInce Jim and Rachel had very little interaction after around 1975, it is unlikely Jim's death in Finland had any connection to Rachel's potential visit, but the choice to have Jim die in that location at that time is a head-scratcher.

      BTG: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      I totally understand your sloths concern about it and I agree with you. Let’s hope the show plays it’s cards right.    Further comments about the last few episodes: - I liked that one of the attendees was filming the scene. That’s realistic. I wonder if the writers will follow up with that.  - Martin and Smitty trying to drag Leslie out was very heteronormative, so perfectly in line with them two as characters lol.    As for the future: it’s obvious the Duprees will come to accept Eva one way or another, but the rivalry with Kay should be here for the long term   On the topic of acting: the only bad actors I’m seeing are Ted and Derek. Tomas hasn’t proven to be either good or bad, so far, but he’s certainly mediocre and uncharismatic. He sucks the energy out of the scenes and I don’t see any couple of women ever vying for him.

      I’m trying to think which actors VW were working with at the time, and none of them had been there for a while. Even like Mac and Ada didn’t have that big of a part in Rachel’s storyline.  And Jamie was involved with all that movie stuff.

      Brooke did ads before ATWT too. That probably helped get her the job. After ATWT she seemed to branch more into hosting, along with ads.  I think I saw Kelley in an ad or two, but you're right she wasn't on as much.

        Thanks for sharing these. I wonder if Charles might have been in the running for Adam. I know Preacher was a bit of a bad boy at times on EON, but Neal seemed to be a step down, and Robert Lupone had played a similar part on AMC. Given the huge cast turnover at this point I wonder who thought they had been there long enough to go.  Laura Malone/Chris Rich would get a remote within the next year.

      Interesting.  It seems to allude to that statement that Warren Burton made around that time about some AW actors getting special treatment.  I wonder who was resentful about not getting to go.

      The Madonna Thread

      By Maxim · Posted

      Under all of Madonna's social media today there is this wave of negative, toxic, absurd comments by Lady Gaga fans telling her how Gaga surpassed her in concert in Copacabana. I mean... Who the hell cares? Why are these fan communities so freaking toxic??? I'm sure Madonna doesn't care... But still. Have some respect for M. Leave her social media alone. Go cheer Gaga and be happy. Why come and spew hate on M??? Crazy world.

      In Loving Memory: Ruth Buzzi (Letitia Bradford, Days, 1983)

      By Contessa Donatella · Posted

      FYI, again, Ruth/Letitia is not in either of these 2 episodes. So that concludes the 4 episodes I had from Nov. 1983. I don't have the October episodes.

      Eddie has begun uploading the 1990 episodes. I'm so happy about that. I was mindfully taking a break till there's plenty of episodes I can binge watch when I feel like it. Now that 1989 is complete... I can't wait to press play on February 1989 and resume where I left off.
