So... who is going to watch at least the first episode of the new CM: SB?

I will... If nothing else, to see if it's made of fail like CSI: NY, NCIS: LA, or the number of other spin-offs that have been created over the years. Who knows? Maybe it will end up like Trauma, which I watched because I'm a masochist and it was so bad I couldn't help it. Kind of like a train wreck. Cannot. Look. Away. 

I'm still going to be pissed about the extermination of Paget and AJ (particularily because I generally dislike women as protrayed in books/TV shows, and as a result, tend to avoid shows with an over-abundance of women. Because the eventual whiny sex objects for the Other Male Characters gets old really fast. And I have my own issues with women that stem from being a transgendered male. But that's a whole other ballgame. My point is that they finally have a show where the [strong] women are NOT trying to bone the male cast, in addition to actually being useful for purposes beyond Looking Pretty, and they get rid of them? Wtf? Seriously. You cannot understand my annoyance.)

But eh. Everyone else has ranted it to death. 

Like I said: Srs Business is going to be like a train wreck. I'm going to watch it because I will simply be unable to look away for at least one episode.

But anyone else? I'm curious. I know lots of people said they're going to quit watching CM entirely, and will boycott the new series. However, those of you who WILL watch at least the first episode, what are your predictions? Let's play a game.

Mine: Some Important Guy or Helpless Young White Woman happens to die. For some reason Resources Are Stretched and Srs Business team is called in. The Head Rebel Guy does some mouthing off to Authority, we get hints of Mysterious Sniper Man's past, Random Hot Chick/Wonder Woman will do something stupid and screw something up and/or get hurt, and Genius Computer Hacker will do some illegal shit via his Sooper-Special computer equipment. All of this will occur after the Authority will have forbidden them to become involved. But then they catch the Horrible Killer Dude with some Magical Revelation (Mysterious Sniper Man will probably shoot him when Horrible Killer Dude has another member of the team in his Evil Clutches; afterwards, he will ANGST about it, Head Rebel Guy will give words of encouragement and Random Hot Chick will lust after Mysterious Sniper Man and Genius Computer Hacker.


Person with the closest scenario as proven by the series premiere wins a cookie and major brownie points and lulz.
