I had no plans to cancel my Netflix streaming subscription, but I will defintiely be keeping it indefinitely if Netflix will be making things like this.
While looking up some articles about this, I discovered some more interesting stuff regarding other upcoming comic book shows including a Batman prequel about James Gordon, an Arrow spinoff based on The Flash, and a possible Wonder Woman show(though we've heard that before)

I thought the Amazon one was scrapped a while ago.

Gotham and Flash definitely sound cool, though. Can't wait for those. I remember liking the original Flash T.V. series as a kid, but I don't really remember too much from it now. I do remember Mark Hamill played a super-villain in it, though.

I've read that originally, Smallville was being planned to be a show about a young Bruce Wayne, rather than Clark Kent. I'd love to see that actually happen at some point, too.

Yeah, it seems they're thinking about doing Wonder Woman yet again after the last project went nowhere. I'm interested in seeing what they do with Flash on Arrow because I don't think they've actually had anyone with super powers on Arrow yet. And if he doesn't have super speed, I don't see the point of having him on the show at all.

Since you're into Smallville and comics, are you reading the Smallville comics? I heard they brought in Batman

On other note, I'm starting to really enjoy Fox's Sleepy Hollow. This goes out to any fans of Supernatural, Buffy, Angel, etc. You might like this show. It plays around with American history and mixes it with occult and biblical stuff like the Free Masons, witches, the horsemen of the Apocalypse and a certain demon that seems like the show's version of Satan. Like Buffy and Supernatural, it has a fair amount of comedy to go with the action and drama. The way it keeps weaving the history stuff in is really fun and Ichabod is very entertaining as a man out of time thrown into our modern world. This week's episode was really strong actually with some good action and some great comedy. This episode made me go from kind of liking the show to loving it. I like the cinematography too and this show seems to have a rather big wide screen aspect ratio as its one of the few shows I watch on my wide screen TV that actually still has the black bars above and under it.

Fox is also hyping up Almost Human. With Fringe gone, maybe this could be their next big Sci Fi show

Almost Human looks great. I've been happy with Grimm for my goofy Buffy/Angel vibe, but I've been wanting to dive into Sleepy Hollow since it started.

Nah. I've been trying (unsuccessfully) to cut back on my excessive comic habit a bit. This last month or 2 I've been spending between $30-$40 a week just on new issues, plus still buying back issues online.

So the last order I put in, I cut a bunch of titles off of my pull-list. Not looking to add any.

I don't know anyone who is still watching Marvel's Shield, yet it's the number two show for the 18-49 male demographic. Right behind The Big Bang Theory.

Luke, have you watched Happy People: A Year in the Taiga? Your love for arctic weather popped it into my head again. It's a Werner Hertzog documentary about the people of Bakhtia (specifically the fur trappers), in the Siberian Boreal forest. I highly recommend it. Last I checked, it was still streaming on Netflix.

No, but it's now #1 on my queue. Anything Hertzog is usually incredible.

Thanks!

I haven't been making a point to watch shield but if I'm around on tuesday nights and remember it I watch. Hasn't gotten any better. For my B-grade tv I prefer Coven.

Also, convenient for South Park to do a game of thrones episode just after I finished watching season 1 and 2. And kudos for the floppy dick just moments after sex reference.

I liked the reference to Stick of Truth being delayed multiple times.
