    I did enjoy their various challenges, though, so I do hope there's still some of that.

    I imagine that will be a part of it. Like they did in africa.

    I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.

    For the fourth time, I predicted the winner of RuPaul's Drag Race in the first episode of the season. For the third time, I predicted it by their first entrance to the work room.

    What a useless skill this is!

    Just need to find someone with the right combination of infinite wealth, love of reality television, and a penchant for dumb bets.

    Oh I didn't realise that! that's brilliant because I finally finished the last season like, two days ago.

    And immediately after that I went and read all the dissection and analysis I could find, because i had lots of THOUGHTS about the finale but nobody to talk about them with.

    I like Hayley Atwell and all, but this official synopsis of Conviction sounds so bad.
    Hayes Morrison (Hayley Atwell) grew up in the public eye as the nation’s First Daughter. Now she is a gorgeous mess, with a brilliant legal mind but a self-destructive streak. Arrested for cocaine possession, she gets an offer from Conner Wallis, the NY District Attorney: no jail time if she heads his new Conviction Integrity Unit that re-examines cases where there’s credible suspicion of wrongful conviction. Hayes resents having to take the offer, but is not totally upset about working with Conner. He was her former courtroom nemesis, who she still finds rather sexy.

    She is working with the CIU team including forensics expert Frankie Cruz, Paralegal Tess Larson, and NYPD Detective Maxine Bohen, who makes a point of telling Hayes that she didn’t vote for her father, the former President.

    They have tight deadlines to identify cases where they suspect the wrong person has been convicted of a crime.

    The first case should be easy to overturn, but it’s not. Neither is Conner who has Assistant DA Sam Spencer spy on Hayes, and calls her bluff when she tries to get herself fired. Conner’s tough love is a turn-on.

    But, it all gets worse when she finds out that her mother, the former First Lady who is running for Senate, was the one behind job offer. If Hayes quits, she is going to jail.

    She better work, despite her demons, because this is really her last second chance. She needs this job as much as the wrongfully convicted need her brilliance. It’s time to follow her mother’s advice: “Do your best. For once.”

    Between "gorgeous mess" and the focus on how she's so attracted to her male co-star makes the show sound like the antithesis of everything Agent Carter stood for.

    I never watched Prison Break, but is that opening exchange feeling like a Bulwer-Lytton entry part of its typical m.o.?

    I'm all for a Prison Break sequel, even if they bring Michael back from the dead. But the reason he sacrificed himself in the first place, was the fact that he had a degenerative brain disease and he was going to die soon anyway.

    I'm also curious if anything that happened in Breakout Kings will affect this as well. Especially since T-bag is in it.

    Man CW needs to take a break. All these spin-offs. Now Captain Cold and Heat Wave get their own series? I don't even see any super powered people in it! What a crock!

    I can't hear her in this trailer as anything other than Peggy doing a voice undercover.

    Yep looks as awful as the description. I do like how they are mining the "Hayley Atwell is very very beautiful" including in the trailer having her strip down.

    The way I remember it (which could be inaccurate!), they didn't necessarily go into 7 sure that the show would be ending. However, I'm pretty sure the show was not canceled, by which I mean that it was not primarily the network's choice to end the show. I believe that Joss and SMG were largely the ones that decided to end the show, and probably at least had some clue about it when starting Season 7.

    I'm not sure the reasoning has ever been confirmed, but the common thinking is that SMG was planning on leaving after 7 when her contract was up, and Joss opted not to try to somehow continue the show without her. I'm betting that Joss at least was somewhat aware of this before Season 7 started and more or less planned it as the final season, even if they weren't 100% yet. I do remember something about Alyson Hannigan supposedly not finding out about the cancellation until it was announced, so everyone may not have been on the same page.

    Hosted a Radio Show in College is definitely on the Huge Dork BINGO card, so this doesn't surprise me much.
