So who on my flist is still watching The Vampire Diaries next season?

And how many on my flist are watching Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., cause I'm seriously thinking of giving it a go now? I skipped it in the first place because I wasn't all that into The Avengers movie, so I don't know if that means that it will be an automatic miss for me...But eh I do usually enjoy Joss's other shows (well at least I loved Buffy and Dollhouse, liked Angel, and Firefly was okay), plus I've seen some enthusiastic reviews for it really picking up in the second half of season 1, so would people recommend giving season 2 a try when it airs?

I was also thinking it was Nina - when the news first came out, they were saying that they could turn one of the supporting cast into a main, and I can only see that working with Caroline, which means the female character of the three is probably going.

There's been some talk of another spin-off, maybe they'll use some of the TVD characters in it.

Have you heard whether it's just for season 7 that they've signed, or for several more seasons? A seventh definite final season would be a nice option, but I wouldn't want the CW keeping TvD going indefinitely for ratings...

And the spin-off with the originals made sense, but lol I don't really see what other one they could set-up with characters like Matt or Jeremy that would sustain its own show. Maybe something with Candice I guess as she's a fan favourite, but I half-wondered if they wouldn't just write her onto The Originals after TvD ends

I just heard they were signing for S7 - the ratings have dropped so much, though, I'm not sure they'd even get an S7. Also, it's possible that the CW could go off the air in 2016 anyway due to losing a bunch of their channels from one of their distributors at that point so there might not be much more than a season or two left for any of the CW shows anyway.

Ooh okay. I'm kind of oblivious, I didn't realise that ratings had dropped so much, I was assuming that TvD was still near the top of the CW's shows

But it would make sense that the CW is coming to end eventually, I never seem to hear about any of their new shows (other than Arrow) getting the same kind of numbers as Supernatural and TVD, and they can't keep those two ageing shows running forever. Maybe The Flash will be a hit for them this year, but I don't know about the rest of their line-up, most of their desired demo seem to just watch their shows on the internet....

The ratings dropped kind of drastically after Caroline and Klaus had sex and Katherine's death, but ratings drop for a lot of shows in the spring - I'm guessing they'll probably go up again in the fall. Also, the CW does put a lot of emphasis on Internet deals and streaming (and possibly Twitter ratings) so maybe it's not that dire.

Katherine's death is when I thought that the show lost something (and I think that's when some of my flist quit the show as well), so it's certainly interesting to hear that ratings dropped by a lot at around that time!

But yeah I guess that TvD is still one of their shows that get the most buzz, plus Delena always seem to be storming fandom polls, so it's probably considered a success by the CW's standards still :P
