Is it still being Hulu'd?

It is, but I noticed it went Ep. 5 to Ep. 7. Anyone know what the deal is with that?

[ZarakiKujata]

yeah still on Hulu, don't forget the series premiere was technically a 2 part episode, so in all likelihood they just fucked up teh counting, the one listed Ep 5 was the last one to come out before this one

[Gryffes]

Why oh why did Kings get cancelled ; ;

[ZarakiKujata]

It better get moved to Scy-Fy/USA or w/e other networks NBC Universal owns that has the balls to air this shit.

[Auspice]

Are they still at least airing the rest of the series? I haven't checked my DVR in almost a week so I don't know if it recorded.

[GRT]

oh shit this show is back?

edit: i love nbc.com

Yes.

I also have to say

Spoiler: show

the Angel of Death was kind of freaky last night. From her first appearance with her mouth and eyes distorting while doing that god-awful sound to her reflection in the mirror that would have made you think it was a fun-house mirror if Silas hadn't been reflected normally.

"Back" in so far that they're burning off the rest of what they have filmed. There's next to no chance it's getting renewed for a second season.

Some shows are making a comeback after being cancelled!

but I guess Kings isn't -that- good, I do enjoy it though

It's better than Medium by a lot, if NBC had been smart about which of its networks it premiered it on it could've been a success. (i.e. BSG getting rejected by NBC but doing amazing on Sci-Fi..)

Law Order: CI is on USA now after getting shit on on NBC(not a good show imo but just comparison), and Friday Night Lights is another example of a good show that has had shit luck on NBC, so either need to move it to cable or get DirecTV or another sponsor to back that shit.

kings is better than most of the other "popular shows" on nbc (no names mentioned, heroes), why is this happening?

i mean what are they doing wrong?

Ratings and budget.

They never made a huge push to advertise the show, and most of what they did do, didn't really let people know what it was about. They didn't want advertisements to push any of the religious aspects, and even refused to say the show was about the story of King David. (Though to be honest, I don't see why they did so. I'm not remotely religious, but I still find the show interesting.)

As for the budget, each episode is an insane amount of money. Much more than most other shows, especially for the poor ratings.

[fishstix]

Honestly, I never heard of Kings until I heard it was being cancelled and how great it was that it shouldn't be. Only then did I decide to check it out :3

It was episode 5 or 6 by that time.

"popular" should rightly be in parentheses on NBC lol

Really though outside of Heroes what else is "popular" on NBC and not a critical darling for its genre?

[Kaslo]

But they had to make room for MERLIN!

Fuckkkkk I just watched episode 7 on Hulu and it honest to God left me shaking a little. It is a tragedy that we are losing this show. Hopefully Sci-Fi or someone else will pick it back up because this show deserves to be played out. I was also left speechless when we found out what we did about the son in this last episode.

If you guys haven't watched it you need to. Hulu has all seven episodes up until september of this year. Go watch it. NAO.

[gaimear]

... You didn't catch that the son was gay?

[Askari0]

xD not until that point. I'm kind of oblivious to that kind of thing.

[Auspice]

Nevermind the conversation that Silas had with the son in the pilot episode about being gay. . .
