Supernatural will end after its 15th season

Supernatural will end after its 15th season. I used to joke that the show would never end, and one day the stars’ kids would take over for them. (Those kids are maybe 5 years old or younger.)

I guess it is good that the show will end. 15 seasons is a lot. Make the stars can do some other projects. I have not seen the last few seasons of the show(I probably will someday) but I enjoyed several episodes over the years. I liked the first five seasons a lot and the show still produced some interesting episodes even within the last three years.

I wonder if the producers are going to try to create another spin-off. I liked the second spinoff idea, Wayword Sisters but the network decided not to go to series.

Good luck to Jensen Ackles, Jared Padalecki, and Misha Collins in their future endeavors I guess.

TV thoughts 3-16-2019

I’ve heard the new Charmed is pretty good, especially for a show in its first season. Maybe I should check it out. The original show was not bad.

Black Lightning season 2 should come to Netflix in April. Maybe I should re-watch some of the first  season before April. That could be fun. I think keeping this show separated from the Arrowverse has been a good decision.

I have not watched the Flash much this season. Maybe I will catch up later. I wonder if shorter seasons would work better for the show. The show struggled a bit last season I thought.

A Million Little Things is probably terrible or at least really melodramatic but the cast is pretty good. The show might get better in its second season. Maybe the cast is too large.

DC’s Legends of Tomorrow is a different show then when it started

DC Legends of Tomorrow  is a different show than when it started. That is okay and it is surprising how good the show is. It is pretty goofy. This show is about a group of time traveling heroes riding in a time shop. Time travel of course gets complicated at times. (That is the source of the fun.)

There are only three main characters (of nine) remaining from the first season. There have been at least five new characters added. That is a lot of cast turnover. That kind of turnover could destroy a show or at least hurt it.

The current crew
The Atom/Ray Palmer:genius scientist, billionaire
White Canary/Sarah Lance:former assassin, leader of the the team
Steel/Nathan Haywood:historian turned hero, might have lost his super powers
John Constantine:sorcerer and conman
Zari:woman from the future; wind powers

There are more jokes since the first season and some jokes are pretty out there.

Arrow is ending

Arrow is ending after an 8th season next year. Arrow has some up and downs but most long running shows do. Maybe it peaked in season 2 but I have enjoyed the show mostly. I will probably try to catch up on season 7 sometime soon.

I think it is a good move to end the show. Stories end. Also it is better going into a last season knowing that it is the last season than to have the network tell you that it is the last season while you’re making it. Maybe the cast and crew can create a really good ending now.

I think Stephen Amell has become a better actor over the course of the show (and maybe the writers got to understand his talents better)and I wish him in his future projects. I will miss the cross overs with the Flash and Supergirl. I like the dynamic between Amell’s Green Arrow and Grant Gustin’s Flash. (Green Arrow and Supergirl never had their own solo team up, so they have a different dynamic.)
