Kristin from E! Online is saying that the CW will not be picking up 'Aquaman' aka 'Mercy Reef.' :angry:

I was so looking foward to see Justin Hartley in primetime. With Alfred Gough and Miles Millar writing the pilot, I thought for sure the CW would pick up Aquaman. What the hell went wrong with the pilot? :(

Maybe Kristin is wrong, I hope so.

You have GOT to be kidding me :rolleyes:

I thought the all and mighty Les Moonves was ecstatic at the idea and the show and Justin ...

UGH.

I was looking forward to this too.

IMO, I think the CW execs got scared of launching a lot of new shows and decided to probably renew a lot of more high profile WB/UPN shows because they are a sure bet for an audience... I bet come next May a lot of older WB shows and UPN shows will end up facing the axe once the CW is established.

I really don't think it's that they don't WANT to have the new series, just that they aren't any good. From what I read on Zap2It.com, the trade papers are saying that their pilots are really bad. It also mentioned that it might get one of CBS's hand me downs. I'm sure a few new shows will come in, but this is good for the on the bubble shows like One Tree Hill, Pepper Dennis and Everwood.

I'd rather have strong lineup of good/established shows, than a bunch of new bad pilots that will tank. They still would have midseason to review things and add some pilots.

I'm not going to dog CW until I find something concrete thats negative. So far they seem very open-minded and it looks like we could have a nice lineup.

Well, canceling "Reba," which is probably the only truly funny sitcom on television these days, was a dumb mistake. HOPEFULLY they'll realize how [!@#$%^&*] dumb it was too and correct it.

AS for "Aquaman"'s failure, that's sad for Justin but if rumors are true that Mark is out, this could be GREAT for "passions!" -- if, of course, Justin gets over himself and realizes a soap job is better than no job.

" 1 you dumbfucks its not a movie.. 2 how can a watterbal hurt? ho look at Aqua Ep form S5 of SV! he [!@#$%^&*] Clark up.... Aquaman ownz and u guys are just fanboys for more popular Heroes.

"

:lol:

Anyway, this show did look like it could be good. And Justin looked MIGHTY photogenic in primetime. Damn.

    • Odds more likely Parkinsons. Hand tremor is one of the first symptoms, often. Actually it could be any number of neurological issues. Not all are Parkinsons. I think I already posted about Dani's laser focus on her girl. But in case not, this goes double for me! Totally love & also appreciate scenes like these Dani scenes. Showing some layers, she is! Whether its with her sister or her daughter, as long as the subject is family, Dani is down.   
    • 5-21   Have I said how much I like Jacob and Naomi? As the first in-bed couple from Episode 1...and a good guy/good girl couple, I do love seeing their development. Together. And separate. So doing my rewatch, it's great to see them together one moment and making their lives work. And then the next minute, they are off in other stories. I liked the Naomi/Derek scenes. Meanwhile DETECTIVE Jacob is involved in the SilkPress storyline due to Veronica Mars aka Kat on her and Eva's case.    Dani, Dani, Dani. I thought it was a good episode to show her different sides. The outrageous Dani who would kiss her friend in public...and figuratively blow Bill's head off. And then...there's Mama Dani with Chelesa. She is always going to be divisive, ain't she? Sidenote...good to see a bit of sass from Pamela on Vanessa. It's clear they don't like each other. I do wonder if that will turn into a C plot.    Speaking of C plots...well...I still can't believe how invested I have been in the Derek/Ashley mess. And another element in it that I liked this episode was how it was affecting Dani/Andre. Heck, they were all in the montage at the end.   And another speaking of C plots, Bill and that hand. smh. I didn't care for all the Bill/Hayley time, but that hand shake continued. I do wonder where that is going to go. MS perhaps? I believe in rare cases that it can happen to men, but I am probably wrong. Still...a chance to educate.    I loved the Dani/Chelesa scene for sure. I'm sorry that things did not work out for Chels and the girl. But it was nice to see that in the spotlight and something just different for soaps. And it led to such a great talk with Dani.    Mmmmm at the SilkPress/Eva scenes. It was such a visual version of what Eva and Tomas just talked about in the last episode with parents. And SilkPress admitting what she did. I totally missed it the first time around. I live for their scenes regardless. Though I'm starting to think (and the synopsis for this coming week doesn't help), that this A story is about to shift into more of a B story status to focus on the other A stories (Martin's secret and another round of Dani/Bill/Hayley).

      It really is too bad that Will/Sonny/Paul/ Andrew aren’t full time. John’s death could’ve led to so many storylines for them.

    • I had to think about how Tate is related to everyone. First:  major storylines of John and Bo. Tate is obviously grandson of John via Brady Black. Tate is twice-connected to Bo: Bo is Tate's great-uncle via Isabella. Bo is Tate's great-uncle via Kimberly. Tate is separately related to Pandrew: Andrew is Tate's uncle on the Donovan-Brady side. Paul is Tate's uncle on the Black side. Connections to young people in town: Via Kimberly and Roman, Tate is related to Johnny and Will. Will is Ari's father, so Tate is related to Arianna via Will. Via Isabella and Justin, Tate is related to Sonny. Sonny is Ari's third parent, so Tate is connected to Ari via Sonny. I started to diagram out second cousins, third cousins, half-cousins, half-uncles, "once-removed", etc, and then stopped myself, LOL. What matters is that they are extended family to one another.
    • Oh, I See it now! Thanks
    • And proved what a well-placed line of dialog can cover.  Has there been any mention of Claire?
    • Johnny said today that Sami and Sydney were trying to fly in from Sicily, but were stopped by a volcanic eruption because the ash had grounded all the planes.
    • I just finished with today & it was definitely odd. I can understand that they've got to fill in extended family. There was just so much of it. Without even one scene of Marlena. That, to me, was problematic. However, I'm not going to jump to any conclusions. We'll see what tomorrow brings.
