Hiatus Reasons?

[Dr. Tinsley]

As Lina said in another post- it seems we are having a same song second verse issue. We can speculate why here? Is it for sales? Is it for season reasons? What do you think?

[cybra]

It could be season reasons but it could simply be that the target demographic are on summer break. Because of family trips and the like, the viewership has a greater tendency to fluctuate from week to week. For a show like "Generator Rex" that has an overarching storyline, it's better to leave on a cliffhanger for the summer months so their viewers don't miss too much of the story.

If the season started in the fall like most shows, we'd probably have the hiatus between seasons rather than mid-season.

At least that's my theory.

I blame Kleiss. Seriously, have you noticed that all of the big hiatuses have been after a Kleiss episode?! It's his fault, I tell you!!! Kleiss, stop making out with Caesar and get the shows running again! Or get the shows going and make out with him then! *shot*

If I blame anyone for this one it's Hunter Cain. His episode seemed to plug up the whole system.

[Lina Trinch]

I agree with Cy. If anyone would care to notice, most shows play reruns during the summer. New stuff always tends to come in during the fall with just about everything.

And I have a theory about why they keep cutting Hunter Cain. They only have a certain amount of eps to play per season (I mean that by fall, spring, etc.), so they have to cut out an ep to make everything land on an epic bombshell. Last time it was Dark Passage. This time it's Written In Sand. Cain is mostly filler.

Though, why they cut out Cain and not table tennis? Cause that ep was aweomse. I think it may be for any number of reasons. Hunter Cain is like racism personified in this show, so CN doesn't take kindly to showing him off. Or maybe they cut him out last time, so why not do it again. You know, make it a normal thing.

OR it could just be an amazing coincidence. tl;dr

And it's "Second Verse, Same as the First", Doc. XD

[Dr. Tinsley]

Gah, whatever same difference lol. Whatever you said, that's what I meant. I think they should just kill off Cain.- Is it odd that I find humor in Jon Cena's character being named Cain (Kane) XD

[Purple-Cat-Princess]

Cain is just an angry redneck with a gun. And they can't kill him persay... its a kids show.

[Lina Trinch]

Yeah, but getting captured into another dimension by your four-armed stalker and her creepy, eight year old sidekick is totes okay.

Why not? They do it all the time. Look at all the grunts that died in the first episode?

^ Favorite Explanation so far.

As to killing grunts, yes they do do it all the time...but in a way that (except for that guy who got eaten by the EVO fish) children with short attention spans can easily forget, and they never out right say "Killed". Which is bull but what ever keeps the show awesome.

But they weren't characters who had been given a name and a face, or a reason for them to understand the characters motives for what they do.

[Dr. Tinsley]

Okay then leave him to rott in the Providence prison. *shrug* It's happening to Quarry and Gatlocke, whom I believe will both make a come back eventually because Providence is just full of moles and people waiting to be paid off.

[Purple-Cat-Princess]

Hopefully Gatlocke will make a reappearance once this Hiatus is over.

[Lina Trinch]

I think they'll make an epic reappearance. That's just the way MoA rolls.

And about killing people, CN or MoA for that matter has been known for it before. And with a show like THIS. I say, give it time. It probably won't be a MAIN character, but I'm sure someone will end up dead at some point.

And God, I feel for the pirahna grunt. That was messed up.
