Great news, I like the show so far.
ReplyDeleteI'm not trusting Syfy one bit. Eureka and Warehouse 13! Two of my favorite shows EVER have met an untimely end because of these idiots. And Eureka was doing just fine! It made zero sense to cancel it.
ReplyDeleteEureka was ended not bc of it doing so well but bc it got expensive to produce so the network decided to end it and same concept applies to WH13. SyFy shows may seem cheap when making first few seasons but when writers come up with bigger ideas that requires money to build new sets and create CGI's that cost way more then making sets. SyFY can go so far without bankrupting itself in the process.
ReplyDeleteAltho it would of been nice to see season 7 of Eureka and season 6 WH13 but it's sadly not happening. But the strange part is both shows are filmed in Canada and yet Supernatural is on the air for 9 yrs and its uses more CGI then both shows combined and its on the CW network which is small network lol
We must be watching different shows, because Supernatural doesn't use that much CGI. It also doesn't have a large cast, doesn't need a lot of stunt work like in Arrow etc.
ReplyDeleteYa Supernatural has been using alot CGI lately lol. I wonder how much CGI cost to make the Arrows when Ollie shoots them. Bc i read an article that Stephen went through mons of training to learn how to use the bow but when he does the arrow shots they are just CGI lol
