    What do I do when my gold account runs out of reacts?   

     

    This is only hypothetical for now, but if it doesn’t become concrete this weekend was a failure.

     

    wait a few hours and you should have more? it's 500 likes. you get a like back 24 hours after you used it. chances are you won't run out unless you go full @Blankments

    Man I was very excited about this thread. Now I'm just sad. Infinity War thread was way better. You shouldn't have gone off the grid @CJohn coz of that you don't have any powers... Sad very sad 😭😭

     

    he didn't go off the grid, occasionally we talk TV. like when NBC ordered the Timeless movie and Cjohn didn't believe me so I rubbed it in his face when it happened.

     

    still waiting for Lionsgate to go bankrupt.

    I'm pretty sure @TMP just clarified for all of us why they decided to cut production on it heh. That's some crazy out of control budgeting.

     

    But even Newsweek has published an article speculating on the future for the service and apparently they're reshooting the ending of Swamp Thing so they might be preparing for the possibility there won't be a season 2 (the first three episodes will premiere as planned at the end of next month). Which would be the best gesture really. No use going ahead with a cliffhanger/set-up ending that will possibly remain unresolved forever Divergent style. https://www.newsweek.com/swamp-thing-season-1-shortened-dc-universe-okay-1399543

     

    I think it's likely WB does what Disney is planning to do: create a bundle for DC Universe and it's separate streaming service. Disney wants to do that with Hulu and Disney+ and ESPN+.*

     

    If Swamp Thing's production really did balloon like that though I imagine it won't be getting a season 2 for that reason regardless of what happens with DC Universe.

     

    *I could also see Amazon or another big company start to work with Netflix/CBS All Access to create bundles of their own. In this way, streaming could ironically become like cable where instead of individual streaming services you pay for multiple through a bundle.

    I think the fact they just cut Swamp Thing down a few episodes plus haven't even given a renewal to Doom Patrol (Titans was renewed before it even premiered) seems like an indication things aren't entirely working out at least as planned originally and they're in semi-damage control mode (like the second tweet was a response to). These shows most likely have been on the very expensive side I imagine.

     

    You have no idea why they cut Swamp Thing down a few episodes. Trying to make assumptions on decisions we have no idea on why they were taken is something people love to do on the internet but just wanted to point out: Titans early renewal was probably based on DC Universe network executives having faith in the product. Meaning they saw the early cuts of the episodes and decided to renew it based on the quality alone. 

     

    I mean come on. Expecting them to renew everything right away is silly. Netflix can take weeks or months to renew/cancel a show. Broadcast networks will sometimes renew things before they premiere and then wait until the very last second before upfronts in May to renew/cancel another show.
