As time went on and the entire world was all CHUCKCHUCKCHUCKDOLLHOUSEDOLLHOUSEDOLLHOUSEDOLLHOUSE and not a word was breathed about SCC ever, I knew there wouldn't be a shot. The media banded behind Chuck and were more interested in Dollhouse's chances because it was Joss. And, unfortunately and bizarrely, SCC wasn't actually as universally adored by critics as it ought to have been. So there wasn't a lot of pressure on Fox.
I mean, I really have no idea what role the media and critics play in these decisions, but I do know that if I were a network, I'd care more about the show everyone was talking about, you know? I could be making stuff up.
I'm actually kind of surprised how little I'm affected. I broke down crying when Veronica Mars was finally cancelled, and that sure wasn't that big of a surprise either. That was different, though, I guess. You're into SCC the way I was into VM. Probably more.
