No Ordinary Family's episode count has been reduced to 20 episodes for season 1. this means there are only 4 episodes remaining this season.
The finale will air Tuesday, April 5.
The season finale is currently filming and Stephen Collins says "I don't know how they did this, but the finale is such a deft piece of writing. It answers so many questions and creates so many situations '"
"He's definitely got the big picture in mind, Dr. King," says Collins. "He's going to feed the world and heal the world, and if a couple of dozen people have to die horrible deaths in the service of that, that's a very small price to pay when you look at things like Iraq and Afghanistan. I mean, come on, it's just simple math.
"Listen, if he gets rich in the process ... I think Dr. King fully expects that he'll win a Nobel Prize someday. He's got his eye on the ball. There are big problems in the world, and if he solves them -- if people want to get in his way, OK, but it's really shortsighted of them."
"He's got personal reasons why he's doing what he's doing," says Collins. "However, sure, he wants money, and he loves power, but it's also revealed over the last couple of episodes, there is someone higher up at GlobalTech. That person has been hinted at, and we get more than a glimpse of that person.
As for the big finish, Collins says, "There's an element about King's motivation which is revealed in the finale which, to me, is just fascinating. It's a game-changer, and yet it fits in with everything I've been doing."

First step towards cancel-ville.
ReplyDeleteMaybe now Julie Benz can come back for another guest apperance on Dexter. The flashback in season 5 premiere was great.
ReplyDeleteHopefully. Get Julie Benz back on Dexter :D
ReplyDeleteJulie Benz is wasted on this show. Get her onto something else I say :D
ReplyDeleteThis show is a whole waste of a talented cast. They have some great actors on the show, but the show itself is just kind of stupid and doesn't really know what kind of viewers it wants to please.
ReplyDeleteExactly. What annoys me the most is that they have a great main cast (Julie Benz, Michael Chickpeas) but they have really good guest starts too.
ReplyDeleteI don't like the show (such a waste of good actors) but I was hoping to get a proper ending though, I sticked arund the whole season and boy, sometimes it wasn't easy to sit and watch bad dialogues and storylines filled with kind moral values just right for the 8-12 years old.
ReplyDeleteThe writers of NOF had to know about the order cut if the episode shooting right now offers some sort of closure, apparently : I hope Stephen Collins is right and that the finale "answers so many questions" and explains why his character is such a clichéd bad guy (ok he didn't say that but if there is some development about him that would be great).
I hope the writers of the show won't be mad at the cancellation and try to piss ABC (and everyone) off by putting a cliffhanger at the end of the last episode... (yeah, don't tell me the writers of FlashForward didn't know they were going to get cancelled, ratings were slipping rapidly in the fall and simply sucked in the 2nd part of the season, it wasn't hard to imagine a proper conclusion).
translation=cancelled
ReplyDeleteKing, a cliched bad guy? Since when? He's healing people, and the consequences of his healing are causing the patients to turn bad. He's not using the super powered bad guys to steal money (they're doing that of their own accord), and he only asks them to kill people when it's to clean up a mess and keep a secret.
ReplyDeleteI've honestly been surprised lately at just how good a villain King is. He's not completely evil, and he has his own agenda. He doesn't view the Powells as his arch-nemeses as a cliche villain would, but rather views them in surprise and wonders how he can use them as tools in his (so far unrevealed) plan. The only thing cliche about King is his employment of lackeys, but even then he's not paying them; he just treats them as family and expects them to treat him the same.
Sorry you guys dont like it but other do. IF you dont like it DONT waste your time posting rude comments on THE NO ORDINARY FAMILY PAGE. GO somewhere else...perhaps a show you like.
ReplyDeleteWell the haters will hate no matter what and always throw out the cancellation scare bones.. But I am one of many that totally enjoy the show. The sfx, the references to various comic book supers. Who wouldn't want a cool superpower, Telekinesis, Strength, Speed, morphing etc. These are some of the normal powers. Each of the Powels have 1 main super power except Daphne she has 3 now. Her abilities alone would allow her to move up in ANY corporate situation in no time flat. About the only power we haven't run across yet is invisibility but I'm sure thats waiting in the wings somewhere. I love the episodes and that fact that they are building on them all the time. Besides this is just the first season. Look how many years the various comic books out there have been going and the gigantic fan base that they have. This show is like a Stan Lee dream come true. I applaud the entire cast and crew and want more episodes. It's fun, it's action, it's quirky, it's drama, it's working!!!
