Amuses me in a vile way when they say a "brand new season" when really we are only getting 8 episodes thanks to the greedy studio execs. Thanks guys.
I'm with you on that all the way. Perhaps that's another reason why I'm meh about the trailer.

Yeah I noted that. Either its just him appearing in a dream or its really true that no one except minor characters or ones no likes actually die on the show

I'm kind of happy about them airing the 8 episodes now. There's just no way that I could wait--especially for an unknown amount of time.

Yes. We should feel fortunate we're getting the 8. Other good shows are pretty much done. For now.

I agree, it not only makes me "meh" about the trailer, but this entire "season."
Honestly, what are they going to do now that ABC has made this decision? They've utterly ruined all the plans the writers made for pacing the rest of the series. Are we NEVER going to get those 8 episodes now? Will we have only 8 episodes next year now? Are they going to try and cram 24 episodes into next year? (Something they were trying to avoid by doing it this way). ABC has just ruined all the positive vibes that the writers had established by outlining the rest of the show. Who knows what is going to happen now. We have no idea.

You can survive through things you would never imagine you could...even a long break during a tv show. I've learned that by watching cable. Airing the 8 episodes now is pretty much blasphemy, you can tell just by the reactions of Darlton.
8 episodes = BAD.
In the long run, it's going to be bad. Yeah, we'll get a quick fix, but it's going to hurt the show.
