According to Bryke, although the tv figures weren't that great, the online figures were, in his words, "insane", which is what's lead to the change to an all online format. Though even he admits that it wasn't handled as smoothly as it could have been.
So...instead of finding ways to appeal to both demographics in some way, networks will just push shows with sizeable periphery demographics onto the Internet and kill them slowly?
Maybe if it proves that it can do well, maybe they'll start following the House of Cards remake and Orange is the New Black's example and start making stuff purely for the internet? Like legit good stuff, rather than just the cheaper stuff.
I wonder if that guy who betrayed Metal City was originally planning to frame Varrick but instead blamed a random soldier because it would have been too difficult to frame Varrick.
Also why did he stick around rather than run away immediately? Did he think he could fool everyone? Did he have to do something before leaving?
I think that he was trying to stall them, hence why he seemed to be taking his sweet time every time they suggested something.
I have to say, on a vaguely related subject, I'm liking Mako now that he's starting to use his detective skills to help out rather than being constantly irritated. Gives him a bit more personality than he had previously.
No idea what's going on with Bolin though. I like his relationship with Opal, but his behaviour seems to be wondering away from being merely very sheltered to being... kind of stupid. Like his suggestion that the guy might be invisible... I know it was a joke, but what.
