Ok, I'll go along with this.

Don't give away the ending, you'll ruin everything.

The ship SINKS at the end! LOL

Oh wait, wrong story. Sorry!

Some kind of big BOOM.

We all knew how "Caprica" had to end, too, but that didn't stop me from watching it.

Caprica "ended" because of poor story and poor ratings.

I could barely get through the first episode of that clunker of a show.

SyFy tried reaching the youth market, but it wasn't BSG.

And I don't see Krypton doing any better than Crapica.

Only reason I finished watching Crapica was because it got canceled, so figured I'd watch the last several episodes, as opposed to just dropping it. If I remember correctly, we have a whole thread here devoted to it's Crapitude.

Problem I see with Krypton show, is with no superpowers due to red sun, where does it go? There's really nothing to distinguish it from any other "on another planet" scifi show.

Exactly what I was thinking. What's the point without being "super"?

At least with Gotham, they were able to show a pre-Batman show easily, since super powers never play a part with the character.

At most with Krypton, we'll get General Zod staging a civil war, but with no super powers there's nothing to separate it from any other civil war/coup. Because beyond Zod, there really are no classic villains to show from a younger standpoint, something which Gotham can easily do.

 

[lakebum431]

Totally agree

Maybe Krypton is where the Sharknado's originated? They could have jumped through the Phantom Zone to get to Earth...

Or maybe Brainiac had something to do with it, when he bottled up Kandor... It created a hole, and got filled with Sharknado's. LOL
