The polls close sometime tomorrow — I’m not exactly sure what time — so consider this your last chance to pick one of the following shows for me to hate-blog, per my terrible husband’s suggestion. It looks like The Orville, SEAL Team and Marvel’s Inhumans are pretty firmly in the lead, so if you want S.W.A.T. to stand a chance, Chris Odell, you better spend all day voting for it.
So what do you think? Which of these shows should become my personal nightmare?
Yeah, Jamie Lannister is calling bullshit on that idea that they are going to film multiple endings for Game of Thrones. “You’re not going to waste $100,000 a day to shoot something you’re not going to use. It’s not going to happen.”
Good news about GoT: looks like they’re bringing Miguel Sapochnik back to direct. He directed “Hardhome” and “Battle of the Bastards” but sat out season 7.
Remember how Kevin Can Wait said they were going to kill off Erinn Hayes’ character (to make room for Leah Remini) but treat her death with “respect?” Yeah, they addressed it with a coupon joke.
Gordon Thomson, the original Adam Carrington on Dynasty, has some feelings about the reboot: “I have had a look at the new Dynasty and I am appalled. What the fuck is the CW doing? It’s utter shit … Why call it Dynasty? It’s nothing to do with Dynasty at all. It’s insulting. If the afterlife exists—it doesn’t, but if it did—Aaron would be having major fits in his grave. And the audience the CW is aiming for is going to think it’s shit because it is such shit that a cretinous 6-year-old would not be interested. It’s abominable.”
Netflix wants to improve flying a little by making it easier to stream it on planes. (~puts on her skeptical hat~ “We’ll see.”)
You’ll have to wait until 2019 for Fox’s live Rent. Somehow I’ll survive, I think.
The Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department is so mad at Soledad O’Brien and Ice-T, you guys.
Hey, they’re filming The Bachelor, and spoiler alert: Arie takes a white woman out on a date.
Showtime’s streaming site was hacked to mine for Monero coins and I don’t know what this future is.
In case you need a complete guide to the Will & Grace revival, The Hollywood Reporter has got you covered. (No one needs a complete guide to the Will & Grace revival.)
Tim Goodman wonders why television doesn’t seem to be responding to Trump (besides late night, of course).
Oh God, Trevor Noah thinks that Trump is going to win a second term.
So the NFL-Trump fight continues with our shitbird president tweeting about it some more this morning after Dallas Cowboys’ owner Jerry Jones took a knee with the team before the national anthem. (And while I think taking a knee before the anthem instead of during is a wuss move, it’s still more than some teams and owners did, so, you know.) I’m not going to embed the dumb tweets here because I said yesterday that we should just ignore them, but I will point out that contrary to some of the tweet claims, the NFL’s ratings have improved this week.
Meanwhile, even phony little creep Brian Kilmeade thinks the language Trump used was “terrible” and that he made things “immeasurably worse.”
And so far the casts of two shows have shown their support for the protestors:
