I've never watched it, so I couldn't comment on the quality. Makes sense that the ratings have dropped if it has gotten bad.

She didn't kill it at all. The writers did.

The flight plan I just filed with the agency list me, my men, Dr. Pavel here. But only one of you!
The advertising campaign of "Dwight as Dr. House but he's a detective not a doctor" is laughably horrendous.

I've got a season pass set for Backstrom, but I can't imagine it will last long enough or be popular enough to warrant an OP.
Hell, there's almost no Bones chatter on GAF and that has aired 200 episodes (and I've watched 'em all).

Here's the full S2 premiere of 19-2 someone uploaded. The big 13 min tracking shot starts at 7:40.

Exactly. The wife and I fell in love with season one. It was damn entertaining, and you had no idea what would happen from one episode to the next. We've both jumped ship this season, never to return.

Old people sure do love their CBS.

Walmart jumping into the fray could be my big break. Then I could do my Fifty Shades of Grey meets Atlas Shrugged pitch. It uses BDSM and sexual fantasies as an allegory for economic and political ideology!
Sounds like Starz or Cinemax show.

More like HBO tbh.
I'm looking forward to it. Reviews have been terrible so far, though.

On the one hand, this gives more opportunity for actors, writers, directors, crew, etc. On the other hand, it also gives more opportunity for execs, say like deposed network presidents or something.

Wait, Backstrom is just a re-branded Rake right? Why not use that thread?
This is amazing.

Nono, Rake was an asshole criminal defense lawyer, Backstrom is an asshole detective. Totally different.

Well, SyFy will always have Ghost House Hunters: Sub-Saharan African Edition to fall back on.

Right, new season, new job. Lots of shows re-use old threads for a new season

FYI Canadians, it looks like 19-2 is back on the air.
Oh fuck, it's their version of the school shooting long take.

Oh weird, I assumed the French version was done because they took it off Radio Canada's website.
I'm a little disappointed that the English version of the school shooting episode was exactly the same as the French version, for the most part.

It's the last thing they're adapting from the French-Canadian series according to the showrunner. So moving out of that episode and the events are supposed to be different and original from now on. There's a few details in that episode that are different from both versions, some are for later stuff down the line, some were added in because Radio Canada did not want that included for their version but the director wanted it.

That's fair, since I remember the ending of the French S2 and I was wondering if they'd actually do that again.
But I'm speaking specifically to the choreography of the shooting. It's the same building with nearly the exact same movement, so if you've already seen the French version, it's a bit disappointing. I know it probably would have been too much work for them to actually plan out a new scene, but I kind of wish they did.
(Although I'm sure the crossover between French and English viewers is fairly small)

I really, really wish i could see that here in america.
How does this show survive with no dvds or blu-rays or digital version?

Subete no aware
The French version used to be free on the Radio Canada website but they pulled all of them to sell them on iTunes.
The English version is now being streamed on something called "Crave", which I assume is a Canadian competitor to Netflix.
Sadly, if you are American, you have to find various means to watch it...

Is it possible for americans to buy off canada itunes? I notice the new series (season 1 complete) and the first episode of season 2 are on it from a quick google search.The French version used to be free on the Radio Canada website but they pulled all of them to sell them on iTunes.

I noticed amazon.ca and futureshop etc. both sell the french version of the show but no remake on dvd/blu-ray anywhere which blows my mind. It's like Transporter all over again (luckily they brought it over)

I think you need a Canadian credit card or a Canadian iTunes card if you want to go that route. If you do, pick Alberta as you will pay less tax.
Canadian TV seems to be tough in terms of disc releases sadly. No money in it, since it's hard enough to get people to watch in the first place.
Don't think I've seen a home release of the english version just yet (dvd/br), but given the state Canadian television is in I'm frankly not surprised. And it's broadcast on Bravo here, so it's kinda up in the air how they want to do it. Bravo in Canada is maybe like FX or AMC in that it's like a cable network but has commericals. I don't think 19-2 has any frontal nudity from what I could remember, but plenty of f-bombs.
edit: also I think the only source of the long tracking shot was posted on GAF a while back but the actual source was removed and I could never find a substitute. Hopefully the English version gets more love.

So, a little birdy has the English version of the long take on one of them websites:
http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2f6jgz_19-2-shootout-from-season-2-episode-1_tv
If you can still access the French version somehow, it's interesting to do a direct comparison between the two shots.
(I can edit out this link if it's not cool).

I was at an early showing of the English version, a few changes are like JR showing up in the long take (to carry out the girl and see but not shoot at the shooter), the last victim at the end of the episode I believe wasn't in the French version either (because let's be honest that was pretty intense). I'm sure there's a few more minor changes I can't remember.

Might be time for one of you to make a thread for 19-2...

Rebuilding brand will take some time. Syfy has bad reputation and an adaptation of bizzare old movie isn't propably high on people's interest. Hopefully they stick with it for a while.
firehawk12
Subete no aware
Oh yeah, there are other changes in the scene after the long take as well.
I would, but the problem is that it'd be a pretty dead thread since it's limited to Canadians and those with "sources" to watch Canadian TV.
But if you are a fan of Southland, you really should be watching this show.

I just want Helix to do well for ivy's sake though mainly. That's what really sucks.
You mean the power of GAF didn't push this show into SUPER OMFG AMAZE SAUCE ratings?
Jokes aside, that sucks. I haven't had the chance to check out the Helix premiere yet (been working) but looking forward to seeing it. Heard the premiere was pretty solid. Hopefully the ratings will go up or at the very least not continue to drop. Hard to say with SyFy shows.
Helix has it's problems but showed some potential. I hope it finds it's potential and that it's enough to potentially stabilized the ratings. Best wishes to you and the rest of the team on that front.

But 30 years in the future the ratings are phenomenal.
So both are basically reskins of House, got it.
I remember when Sci-Fi was one of my favorite channels.
They really burned that whole thing down, didn't they?
