Aren't we a season behind you on that show?

IMO, it doesn't matter. The first season was decent...after that...

RIP Dominion.
The angels have fallen. After two seasons, SyFy has canceled their supernatural drama Dominion, according to Variety.

Based on the 2010 film Legion, the series centered around a world where God’s gone and angels and humans battle for good and evil. The show debuted in 2014 and its second season concluded on October 1, 2015.

During its first season, Dominion became the most-viewed scripted series on SyFy, with an average 1.6 million viewers. However, even with strong numbers for the season opener, the ratings for season two declined steadily over the course of 13 episodes.

BTW, 'Crazy Ex-Girlfriend' should be here shortly as well... what a stinker.

Bad week for scifi, second of what I'd say are in their top 5 scripted series takes a bullet, Defiance leaves the lawkeeper flying through space.

Whoa. Defiance I expected and . . . ok, I guess I sort of expected Dominion too. Both were on borrowed time.

Props to all the other scifi geeks out there that kept these going in spite of themselves.

"Dominion" was OK but nothing great. I wont miss it but "Defiance" was really a favorite.

Im glad they cancelled "Extant". I only continued to watch it because I felt guilty not to after the time I had invested. Could have been much better. Hally Berry so miscast.

Hell on Wheels canceled - that's a real bummer. Will end with the completion of Season 5.

To be honest I actually assumed this was its last season. Thought I read something that they decided to make it a split-season to squeeze as much into it as they can. Bummer that it had a chance for more and still got cancelled, but simply getting a 5th season was all I could've hoped for. Wondering if The Swede survives once again now.

After I posted that it occurred to me that might be old news.

This is what happens when you have the attention span of a small rodent. :oops:

Ya, that's really old news. The surprising thing was that they split the final season into two parts. First half of the final season finished up over a month ago. Won't see the second half until next summer.

I'm surprised there haven't been any major cancellations yet. Think we already lost a few shows by this time last year already.

Sleepy Hollow is probably over. I'm not really getting into it this season and I don't think ratings are any good either.

This summer, on Sundays. You didn't miss much, it started off OK, then, nose dived into aliens.

It was obvious aliens from the beginning, but I liked it. I didn't figure it would get a second season though.

Even though several shows of the new season have dog ratings, the cancel wire has been rather non-existant. And the first big name new entry to the list...Mythbusters.

From the initial articles sounds like they were ready to start wrapping it up once the rest of the crew got the boot.

Seems like an odd name show for Nickelodeon, but "Instant Mom" has been dehydrated.

Sucks for Minority Report but this is no surprise, it has a lot going for it but too many little annoying flaws, the Washington Red Clouds thing being at the top (the clouds are WHITE on the logo!)

Blindspot I can see, although I get the feeling if they keep with the same formula and don't add some interesting substories, this is going to get very old very fast. Even with Jaime Alexander.

But Rosewood I don't understand. This feels like a low budget version of Bones. The only thing it's really got going is some decent chemistry between the leads. But they really need a lot more.
