From looking at a calendar it could be the final 2 episodes of the season! They did do several episodes back-to-back with "CSI" to get it over with. Could be airing 2 Wednesday episodes just to get it over with.
Yeah, it's possible. I only just realized that the press release also indicates that Cyber won't have a timeslot once Elementary takes over the 10pm slot on Sundays. I need to read better, lol.
In any case, they could be shoving in extra episodes to get it over with, yeah--they did that with CSI
and with Cyber last season.
This Sunday's episode is 2.11. If they air Cyber every Sunday, plus those two Wednesdays, I think they can fit the entire season in before Elementary starts. We have four more Sundays in January, four in February and two more in March--added to those two Wednesdays, they could fit all 22 planned episodes of Cyber in, airing the season finale on March 13. So I'm not entirely sure why websites are saying that Cyber is losing its timeslot--it could be over by then without getting cut short or pulled from the schedule.
Oh wait, it's not on the schedule next Sunday, that messes with my theory. Oops!
But if they shoved in another one during the week the way they are with the two episodes mentioned here (or doubled-up on a Sunday or two, instead of airing a Good Wife or Madam Secretary repeat), I could still be right. (Doubling up could also help get it to where these two 'special' airings are the penultimate/finale episodes, without cutting the episode order.) I guess we'll see when CBS makes an announcement.
(As an aside, I get so tired of the cancellation twitter accounts. Last year it was the bear, this year it's the grim reaper I keep seeing--we get it, you think CSI: Cyber is getting cancelled, and you may very well be right. But does that require multiple tweets every week restating it and gloating about your predictions? *sigh*)
Honestly I don't think CBS could make a show in the US just for the international market. Sounds awfully expensive.
Oh, no, of course not, haha. I just meant that it
could be a contributing factor in all of the complicated decision-making going on behind the scenes--along with cost of production, actor salaries, etc. Maybe it doesn't mean anything at all, though...
It could be a specific event, a special guest star, or its airing after another big event, like CBS is airing a "special episode" of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert after the Super Bowl.
Hmm, I guess we'll see. They're probably just hyping up regular episodes in a 'special' timeslot, though (unless it's the last two episodes of the season, as
blackflag suggested--that might count as 'special').
It's sad that TPTB is treating
PoI so shabbily. That's one of the network's most popular shows, or so I thought.
I'm not sure what's going on with that one, maybe they're going to air it during the summer and try to have a big series during the 'off' season? (They did get some hype with Under the Dome, after all, and Unforgettable aired during the summer before they shipped it off to a different station, right? I'm sure there are other summer shows, but tbh I didn't watch any of them.) Beats me, although it seems like the network had a lot of shows to fit into the schedule this year, and unfortunately a few of them have to get the shaft, at least to start with.
I heard rumors before the season started that POI was getting 13 episodes in a presumed final season--I'm not sure how true those rumors were, but if that's the case, they probably don't feel too much pressure to get it on the schedule. The fans who are going to watch are going to watch it whenever it's on, and there are no advertisers to entice with ratings if the show is going off the air. Yeah, it sucks, but it's a possibility.
