NBC has announced that the tenth episode of The Cape will be released exclusively online.

Earlier this month, the network cut the show's first season from 13 episodes to just 10 following a decline in ratings.

However, a post on the superhero drama's official website now claims that the final commissioned episode will be released as "an exclusive episode just for online fans".

The ninth episode of The Cape, which aired on February 28, scored a series low in the ratings, attracting just 4.1m viewers.

The show's time-slot on Mondays at 9/8c will now be filled by The Event, which is returning to NBC after a three-month hiatus.

Yep - I think someone posted that info a few posts back.  Once they cut the number of episodes the show was already most likely not coming back.  Another shame as it has gotten very interesting.  At this point we are going to have very little genre TV to watch next year.

No Smallville, most likely no Cape or V, probably no more No Ordinary Family, maybe no more Chuck, maybe no more Fringe.   :(

AND...I REFUSE to watch that garbage they call...The Event.

I think that thinning out the herd might raise the numbers on a few of the returning shows.

Only until the "herd" realizes what crap The Event is...

So they'll cut the Cape, but won't cut the Event which has been universally slammed as a bad show. 

Nice.  TV next year is going to be depressingly small.

You're making a big assumption there. They have paid for several more episodes of the Event and probably want to use what they paid for

Yeah, I'm sure they have.  w/e.  I guess its just how TV wants to operate right now and if that's how it is, I have plenty of other content I can focus my attention to.

That's right. They have to broadcast the episodes of The Event that are paid for so they can go ahead and cancel it straight afterwards! Lol

pretty much, but who knows, people might actually flock to the show and make it a hit now that it's back.

It's been so long I've forgotten what happened!

[KingIsaacLinksr]

It's been so long I've forgotten what happened!

tl;dr: planes crashed, aliens came, people betrayed people, buildings blew up, more people died, some guy has attachment issues, cops aren't cops, etc?

And that's just from the first 6 episodes I watched.
