What plays against them on the other networks in the fall? Seems to me they’re starting early to beat out the competition. IIRC correctly, there was some question about if they were going to get renewed. I say props to the network for trying something different to boost ratings. ---

I gotta say, he really makes the show for me. I’ve never seen him play anything but psychopaths and murderers before this, and he’s just so charismatic as Monroe. I find Nick very generic by comparison. I’d totally watch a spinoff about Monroe and his chemist girlfriend, more about how the Wesen society works just out of sight of the “normals” (a la wizards and muggles), and less Biff the Wesen Slayer. ---

Apparently Bree Turner is pregnant, but Rosalee will not be having Monroe’s weird bi-wessen baby. Watch this season to how they cover it up. ---

I say props to the network for trying something different to boost ratings. I don’t know what shows it’ll playing against in the fall, but when it starts on the 13th it’ll be on the same time as **Alphas** and **Perception** - two shows my wife and I also record to watch later. Argh. Oops. Just remembered…On the 13th, I believe **Perception** is preempted. The following week all three shows are on the same time. ---

Just because there’s not a lot of other scripted first run TV going on doesn’t mean there’s nothing else people are doing. If not wanting it up against any other shows was the goal, they could just run it on Saturdays. There hasn’t been anything on TV on Saturdays since the days of Amen, Golden Girls, etc. ---
